    Hands up who loves Carnivàle [now with spoilers]

    Re: Hands up who loves Carnivàle It figures. Not a week after I complain how painfully slow the show is, they have two episodes in a row that reveal more than the entire series up till then. I haven't heard whether HBO is going to pick it up for a third season or not, but I hope they do.

    Last night's BSG (1.08) SPOILERS

    Re: Last night\'s BSG (1.08) SPOILERS Damn, that's fu*king brilliant ... I just assumed he was talking about the Old-Man. We were warned in the beginning to expect half-truths and deceptions, I can't believe I missed that.

    Last night's BSG (1.08) SPOILERS

    Re: Last night\'s BSG (1.08) SPOILERS Unless, of course, they see humans as more of a parent figure. In which case, they're just rebelling ... albeit more forcefully than your normal teenager. Then again, there were more than a few times in my juvenile years that I wished death on my...

    Last night's BSG (1.08) SPOILERS

    Re: Last night\'s BSG (1.08) SPOILERS I know what you mean. Every time I think about the Cylons, their religious fanaticism, and the way that they basically just wiped out the human race, it reminds me of several Old Testament stories. No offense intended, but the God that people worshipped...

    Last night's BSG (1.08) SPOILERS

    Re: Last night\'s BSG (1.08) SPOILERS I really enjoyed last night's episode and the series in general kicks some pretty serious ass -- which, undoubtedly, means sci-fi will cancel it after next season. My only problems with the episode were very minor, like: 1) Why was Starbuck chosen to...

    The Greatest American Hero

    I'm halfway through the first season of The Greatest American Hero on dvd and I have to say that it wasn't nearly as cheesy as I remembered it being. There was always something about this series that stuck in my brain which, I thought, was the theme song -- which, you have to admit, probably...

    Best TV Couples That Never Coupled

    For some reason, I was thinking about "Moonlighting" the other day and how the show basically fell apart after David Addison (Bruce Willis) and Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepard) hooked up, which made me think of all the other shows that basically started going downhill after the main characters...

    What would a JMS Star Trek show be like?

    Agreed, but you still would have to deal with the vast and monsterous continuity demon even if the show wasn't a prequel. Continuity didn't rear its ugly head with the onset of Enterprise, it was a problem all along. Let's face it, the people who really give a damn about continuity are probably...

    What would a JMS Star Trek show be like?

    I think they were walking a tightrope between the two. My point is that they should have gone after the new viewers with new and exciting stories and basically told all the people yelling for continuity to go screw themselves. It's hard to write good stories when you've got 30-plus years of...

    What would a JMS Star Trek show be like?

    I don't think there's any question that he would have done what anyone with an I.Q. over 100 would have done -- taken the series back to what it was intended to be, a show about adventure and wonder. The coolest thing about the orginal Trek wasn't really the storylines, which were largely hit...

    Comics 101: Advanced Superman Studies

    I just slipped it in the DVD player ... I forgot all about Bill's Superman theory. I have to admit that he has a point, Clark Kent is a reflection of how Kal-El sees humanity, and it ain't a pretty picture. Granted my dislike of Superman has to do with my own need to deconstruct everything in...

    Comics 101: Advanced Superman Studies

    And I'm not saying that he could. All I'm saying is that by playing Clark Kent 8+ hours a day, he's needlessly letting many tragedies happen when they wouldn't have to if he was Superman for those 8+ hours. But those people can't fly at the speed of light, lift mountains with one hand, shoot...

    Comics 101: Advanced Superman Studies

    With Smallville, Justice League Unlimited and the new movie on the way, Superman is as popular as he's been in awhile. Somehow, they've been able to re-invent Superman time and time again, while Captain America has always been stagnant -- at least to me. They've even had storylines about how...

    Carnivale

    I think we've got to put a list together of shows like this in order to warn people from getting sucked into these sorts of traps. I keep thinking about all those lost hours of watching the X-Files, what else could I have done with that time? I could have cured cancer, invented the penis...

    Comics 101: Advanced Superman Studies

    Don't ask me why, but once or twice every month I feel the need to vent about why I hate Superman. I've moved on from the obvious discussion of the implausibility of his powers (super strength, super hearing, super vision, super cold breath, super speed, flight, invulnerability, x-ray vision...

    Carnivale

    I just had to ask if anyone else is still watching this show besides me, because I would hate to think that I'm the only one that's being jerked around by this series. I've been a loyal viewer from the very beginning, but I have to admit that I don't know anything more about what the hell is...
