I think it's important to face the facts – I might not get a walk-on role in the next James Bond movie. As much as I want one, as much as I deserve one, I may not get one. I hope that Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli hear of my request at the very least however. I think I could garner a Quantum of Solace from that.

Nature - “Arctic Bears”. I hope that they have armor and are helping out the Magistrate. Through extensive reading and film-watching I've learned that bears in the Arctic do as much. They also can speak and are really cool about people riding on their backs.
9:00 – 11:00PM
Masterpiece Theatre – "The Complete Jane Austen". Holy macaroni! They're going to show pretty much every Jane Austen work they can get their hands on. That's actually why they call it "The Complete Jane Austen," they're going to show all of it. Up this week, "Pride and Prejudice (Part Two)."

Antiques Roadshow – "San Antonio (Hour One)". Ah, Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas. Is it better in Texas though? Is it older in Texas? Has It been kept in better condition in Texas? My understanding is that it's pretty dry in Texas; maybe that has helped preserve the various items that the antiquers bring in.
9:00 – 10:30PM
American Experience – "Kit Carson". Though illiterate, Kit Carson was fluent in Spanish and five different Native American languages. He was twice-married to Native American women and had many a tale told about him. Were they true? Were they false? Were they somewhere in between?
10:30 – 11:00PM
PBS Previews – "Carrier". PBS isn't going to show you Carrier, they're just going to show you a preview of it (it airs at the end of April and beginning of May). They're going to tantalize you. They're going to intrigue you. They're going to tell you about some of the people on the USS Nimitz.

Nova – "Ape Genius". I hope they mean Grape Ape. He's certainly an ape, and, in my mind, a genius. Seriously. He goes around telling everyone exactly who he is, and consequently is terribly well known. It's just genius. I think it's a far better strategy than the ape named Ape. He can go around talking about how he's Ape and people will just think he's an ape. Poor planning, Ape, poor planning.
