My speculation is CNN struck a deal with Charlie to his liking first, so this one gets on first.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Regardless of the number of SciFi fans that populate the forums, CNN is a much more useful channel to the general public, and I'm sure Charlie is paying their full worth (of course Charlie IS a Democrat

).

This is a new unpublished feature. You can now tell whether the channel you're watching is really HD, when the sideboards say HD

Not to mention that it's better than having the SD picture stretched!

I flipped it on over lunch and immediately realized that the reporter they have on the stock exchange floor should not under any circumstances ever be filmed in HD.

This channel is pretty bad until the evening hours. Lame daytime talent.

Actually:

Vulcans are pacifists by and large, a condition that is dictated by their logical tendencies. The government on present day Vulcan is a representative democracy, whose three branches are "hr'Mnah'te" (the proposal group), the "hr'Breish'te" (the rectification group) and the "hr'Kash'te" (the expunging group). Vulcan government tends towards laissez faire, and the law system is designed to make laws easier to rescind than implement. For an intensely logical race, the Vulcans do have a very firm spiritual belief. Though there is no one unifying religion, the Vulcans believe in the katra, the soul and consciousness of a person, which is transferred psionically just prior to death. Vulcan beliefs are monotheistic because the presence of a creator is stressed in their ideals. The spiritual leader of Vulcans is a high-priestess who presides over the homeworld.
