    T.S. Eliot had it backward. Forget the whimper, the world will end with a bang, and possibly soon. This kind of apocalyptic foreboding underlies "Avoiding Armageddon," a disturbing four-part, eight-hour documentary series running tonight through Thursday on PBS.

    Speaking of series...

    I rented the first two episodes of the 1997 A&E miniseries, "Ivanhoe," last night, and watched them back to back. They're great! Very faithful to the book so far. Prince John is well portrayed as scary and petulant but evoking sympathy. Ciaran Hinds as Bois-Guilbert is fabulous, as I expected -- you can almost see the black halo of tortured malice wafting around him. Excellent. (Did anyone see him as Mr. Rochester in "Jane Eyre" with Samantha Morton? More great acting.)

    My brain feels like it should be thinking of medieval things, and here I am stuck at work. It's disorienting.
