Objects of passion

I've had a couple of conversations recently where I've said, "You know, I've really gone off Blake's 7; just don't seem to be interested in it any more; haven't got anything to say; don't really miss not having it on DVD; maybe I've just fallen out of love with it..." and then the whole thing was proved an utter falsehood when I watched those Top Ten Sci-Fi Moments on Sky and went into squeeing excitement mode to see the denouement of 'Blake' (which of course I've hardly ever seen...).

I think, in large part, it's got something to do with seeing bits of B7 on 'proper telly'. Not on tape, or DVD. But on telly, live, showing right now. Because it was much wanted, and hardly ever happened.

Scientifically proven fact

It is possible to read a pile of books nearly as tall as me in a year. But the pile of books does not have structural integrity, and will fall over. Therefore, I am better and longer-lasting than books. That's an empirically tested scientific fact.
