Splat

There goes my week, folks. If I'm still coherent on Wednesday I'll bang out a Who Review for you.

Basically, I thought everything was under control until I discovered I have exactly one more project to do than I thought I did.

On the other hand, after watching too much TV this weekend I have come up with the Sex Importance Index. Basically you can apply this formula to any TV show to determine whether the sex in it is just to attract the 99% of the show's audience that are perverts, or whether it actually serves a purpose.

But before I revealed it to you, I realized that Scrubs really doesn't fit the model, which involves factors such as nudity, the age of the characters, and the characters' importance in the show itself. Since there's no naughty bits and most of the main characters are fairly young, my model would seem to indicate that the sex there was important, when it really, really wasn't.

Then I realized that 99% of all TV shows don't portray sex as having any significance whatsoever. Unless it results in a pregnancy, or it's somebody's first time, or the very first time there's any sex on the show, it won't be important. (Scrubs is especially guilty of this - JD and Elliot's numerous pelvic encounters had less ongoing significance than JD and Jordan's one time, which just happened to be the first time JD got any on the show, took place in the 7th episode, and had ramifications that lasted into the second season. The only other sex that ever has any significance on that show are the ones that get Carla, Jordan and Kim pregnant. Then again, this is the show that has said repeatedly that sex doesn't have to be special or important.)

Have fun trying to keep your mind pure, and Easter blessings on you all.
