Retro 3D TV Night

Apparently 3D is in these days! I stumbled across some really nerdy errr.. i mean really high-tech blue and red 3D glasses in our Sprint break room over lunch today! The story is NBC is running a "special" 3D episode of Medium on TV tonight: link

Trolling the message boards for a few minutes, and noticed that fans are up in arms about not being to get these glasses! So... Kiasu means that this episode MUST be really really good. Hmm... wondering if there's a secondary market for these glasses on ebay today? Too bad I won't be able to ship them out in time, if I did sell any :(

So... maybe there is something to this 3D phenomenon! Maybe in about a couple of weeks, its going to be on every show on the major networks, on syndication etc, then its going to be actually "stylish" to wear them out in the day time??!!. Or maybe its really a gigantic experiments by the TV execs to see if regular people will wear these darn things, and subject themselves to ridicule by their friends and family.... Who Knows?

For those people who have nothing much to do, here's a link to book. What's weird, is that covers the fictional character is based on a true-life medium named Allison DuBois, who is a consultant to the show. For the past four years, the real DuBois has been the subject of rigorous scientific experiments conducted at the University of Arizona by Harvard-trained psychologist Gary Schwartz... Freaky!

BIGGEST Question??!! What happens to the viewers who don't have the glasses? I bet they only get a nice non-3D headache... We'll see how it goes tonight.

EDIT: The show was ok, but the 3D effects didn't really seem "3D-ey"... Probably the reason why no other shows are 3d episodes...
