Defying Gravity - TV series by ABC

[lucrum]

I came across this show a couple of weeks ago and have been following it now. It started out a little slow, but I have to say this is going in a nice direction folks! It's showcasing a group of astronauts aboard the Antares, on a mission through our solarsystem. The rest should be up to you to find out.

I'm not sure if this is mentioned here before, a search made no results, but I'm telling anyways.

Take a look at it, I find this show very soothing of some reason.

Hey lucrum, thanks for posting that. I'll have to check it out. In case you're interested, I accidentally found the following;
Fringe tv series is very interesting to me. The characters include FBI agents who are following some out of this world technology, corporate heads of Massive Dynamics, a brilliant scientist who the government had used, but then they placed him in a psychiatric hospital for 30+ years and his son who is somehow involved in covert/black ops. http://www.fox.com/fringe/

Warehouse 13 tv series also holds my attention because the characters are involved with ancient artifacts that are housed in this massive warehouse, and when the "gifts" of the artifacts are exposed and related to historical figures and events, it kinda makes ya go hmmm.

Watching them both, my friend...watching them both.

Fringe is taking a interesting path as well now

I've never really been a tv watcher, but my mate got me interested in them a few weeks ago, so we watched all the episodes in one night, lol. I would have considered both shows preposterous a year ago, now they seem like they fall right in line with other things I've learned. Their episodes could be worth discussing. Glad you're enjoying them.

I've kinda always been open to the idea of everything not nessecarily being like we are told. I'm not sure when my first thoughts about the world seen from different eyes occured, but I know it was quite early.

I was very interested and fascinated by UFO activity and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe at about age 7. It wasn't something fed to me by anyone, I just always liked to think for myself and not always have someone telling me how it is. At one point during my first years of school I had learned the size, weight and distance between the celestial bodies in our own solarsystem. Sadly this obsession to numbers and the freethinking was quenched by hardship from my fellow students.

I have recently been diagnosed with "ADHD", though they will not label me as a prime example. I have the symptoms, but being somewhat more reflected and thoughtful made them throw it into a subshelf of the diagnose itself. It is to be said that I started this investigation myself, based on troubles it has given me in the past and present. Anger has been a large portion of my life, though it has almost always been unmotivated. It just was there, like someone else taking over and leaving me inside this shell of a body watching all the horrible things I did to myself. Cause that's what I did, damage myself and my non living enviroment. Psychologically I could destroy my parents, my mom more than anything. Even though I gained somewhat control over my temper, it was just stashed away and hidden behind a protective layer of excess energy. When that energy depleted during a new challenging period, I lost the protection and the anger was yet again emerging. Now my anger, my frustration and my annoyance over everything is gone. It's not stashed, it's gone. I can't imagine any reasons anymore as to why I should be bothered to get angry like I was before. I can still get angry, but it is a good anger. It's a productive and determed kind of anger based on the actual moment.
I am currently medicated for this diagnose, and despite everything I have read about ADHD, the critics and skeptics, I must confess that this medication made a change. I'm proud to say it didn't change me, it rather amplified my ability to think for myself and derive conclusions based on my own observations and experience. I am now able to sit down, close the world out for a minute and just listen. Listen to the wind, the birds and most of all the "song" of the universe.

Every day now, I work to learn the universal language, to open myself to new posibilities and realities that I didn't have the patience to do before.
These shows, amongst other things, helps me to push boundries in the levels of thought I can achieve. Just too bad I don't know anyone in person yet that can communicate on the same level as me.

Well, this was kinda way more than I initially wanted to write, got a bit offtopic...but at least I got it off my chest.

Thankyou lucrum for sharing that with me. I have a 28 year old son who is also ADHD. He's been burdened by anger his entire life. We (my family) used to blame it on his father, because his father is extremely abusive, physically and verbally. My son has refused to have children because he's afraid of creating another monster (his words). He has been off of his meds for 2 years because he couldn't afford to buy them. A year ago, he met a beautiful, sweet girl who had a very young baby. They've had a rough year, but he has learned to love so deeply that he decided to get back on the meds two weeks ago. When he was here Labor Day weekend, he expressed the same thoughts you did; that when he's on the meds he can think clearly and is much calmer. I never thought I'd see him as the fatherly type, but what I witnessed firsthand, his overwhelming love for the baby girl (now 16 months old) I knew that he'd found something that has changed his life.

It's fascinating how life stories repeat themselves.
I'm closing in on 27, I live with my gf and her (now) 6 years old son. He was 11 months when I first met them.

We had a problematic first couple of years, it got better then slowly returned to "madness". This of course until I started my meds, and everything been fine since.
I actually showed signs of my temper problem already at 8 months old, ripping out my hair and scratching my gums bleeding. A few doctors said it was normal to have different tempers, but I can't with my hand on my heart say that it is normal for a innocent 8 months old child to do such a thing.

I have had the best parents in the world and my first 7 years of life was just like any other, except for the temper problems and excessive thinking.
I'm sure though, that childhood problems and abuse in particular, can make matters worse.

Apparently this show has been taken off air for the moment. For a time it was thought the show was cancelled, but ABC is saying they are doing what they can to find airtime for the show.

Did someone feel their toes were stepped on? :P
