What happened to Flight 77?

I was watching an episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura the other day where they were investigating the conspiracy theory that a missile hit the Pentagon instead of Flight 77.  It's not the first time I've ever heard of this conspiracy theory, but I've never really taken it too seriously.  Flight 77 was hijacked, so the story that it crashed into the Pentagon makes sense.  Besides, even if there was a conspiracy and the hijacking was an inside job, why would they need to use a missile anyways?

I must admit though, it is kind of odd there was no visible debris that looked like it came from an airplane.  But if it wasn't Flight 77, then what happened to it?  The episode didn't really say anything about that.  I asked someone I work with who's interested in conspiracy theories what he thought about it, and he suggested it may have been shot down over the ocean.  If so, and no one saw it, it would be very difficult to find any evidence for it if you don't even know where to look.

Without a plausible theory about what happened to Flight 77 that is backed up by some kind of evidence, it's going to be hard to convince people that a missile hit the Pentagon instead of Flight 77.  If Flight 77 didn't hit the Pentagon, then finding evidence of what happened to it would be the missing piece of the puzzle.  It would be difficult to deny that a missile (or possibly a bomb) hit the Pentagon if Flight 77 was found somewhere else.        If people who support the missile hitting the Pentagon theory really want to convince people they are right, then they need to figure out what happened to Flight 77.

But there may be no evidence to find.  It must have crashed or landed somewhere.  Maybe it really did crash into the Pentagon.  I'm not really convinced that it did or it didn't.  We may never know for sure.

Syfy pretty much sucks now

Up until this afternoon, Syfy was one of my favorite networks...not so much anymore though.  After finding out that the network has canceled Stargate Universe, my interest in the network has dropped considerably.  So much so, that I may not even bother watching anymore shows on the network...at least for a while. I was already upset with the network for canceling Caprica, now they've canceled my favorite show on top of that.

Other shows that I've watched and enjoyed on Syfy are Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, Destination Truth, Hollywood Treasure, and Warehouse 13.  But I may not be watching these shows anymore.  Fact or Faked has been mediocre and Warehouse 13 is just so-so.  Hollywood Treasure has been good, but I'm just not sure I even want to watch these shows anymore.  One of the main reasons I watched the Syfy network is because of the Stargate franchise.  Stargate Universe (SGU) was the third of three Stargate TV shows.  To me, the Stargate series is sort of like a flagship series of the Syfy network.  Sure, there's been 17 seasons of episodes between the three shows, which is more than most shows ever go for, but SGU had so much more potential for storytelling.  They tried to keep it fresh, by making the show a drama instead of an action-adventure like the previous two series...but I suppose that may have contributed to it's demise in a way.  Some people wanted the show to be more like its two predecessors.

Nevertheless, cancelling SGU as well as Caprica has made me lose interest in the Syfy network.  The new stuff they have coming out, such as Being Human, doesn't even sound that interesting.  It may have been interesting enough to watch when SGU was between seasons, but I don't think it's interesting enough to keep me interested in watching the Syfy network without SGU.  I don't know that I'm interested in keeping up with any of these shows anymore.  I watched Syfy because of Stargate.  These other shows were just shows I watched because I saw them advertised and thought they looked good.  They don't look so good anymore.

The only other show on Syfy now that I really like is Destination Truth.  But I'm not sure that I even want to watch that anymore.  Maybe I'll just watch it on Hulu instead.

Come to think of it, television in general has been starting to suck lately.  NBC had a series called Persons Unknown over the summer that I liked, but it didn't do well and won't be returning.  ABC had a decent show called FlashForward that won't be coming back either.  And, of course, my favorite show ever, Lost, is over too.

I guess at least the History channel still has a few good shows.  Whether or not I'll be tuning into the Syfy network again after this season of SGU ends remains to be seen.
