    Stargate Universe

    There are SOME things about this show I find interesting. Still interested in the Destiny's mission, and hope they start revealing some of that. Still interested in these weird alien dudes and what their deal is, other than just to snatch Destiny obviously. I like they brought in some bad...

    The Walking Dead

    Meant to watch this live, but AT&T U-Verse doesn't have AMC HD yet, so I'm downloading. Plan to watch the first two episodes tonight. I've heard good things and I love zombie movies.

    The Expendables

    I LOVED this movie. It was exactly what I expected it to be, and didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't. Great cast, lots of action, didn't get too crazy with a backplot --- it got right into it. Neat action choreography, all around fun. Another great thing? Only 90min long...perfect...

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Interestingly enough that was always my opinion. Not bad acting but...no real personality to speak of. It wasn't until he became "Angelus" that I realized the guy could act and that the Angel character could be fun (admittedly in a dark way). It really made me look forward to the times when...

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    That, by the way, just goes to reinforce the theory I've been posting for some time now, that originally they meant for the island to be some sort of Purgatory. That part of the "JJ" ending fits that precisely. But after the first couple of episodes when everyone started saying "oh, they are...

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    I guess I should have said "generally" speaking. For the most part there are two camps from what I've been reading/hearing. Of course there are always exceptions, but you get the gist of it...

    The BSG ending was still better than the Lost ending. Yes the "they were angels/demons" thing was lame regarding six, and they never explained Starbuck, but the rest of it all worked really well --- including the importance of Boomer's baby.

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    Exactly this. Nor would I recommend any friends who didn't see this series rent or buy the DVDs. It simply isn't worth it for the jerk-around. That's why I think it ultimately failed as a series from a creative standpoint. Ironically, I think it succeeded as a series from a marketing...

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    Well here is my take. The simple version: This was a very good "Goodbye" to the characters, but a bad series finale. What we got was a solid emotional goodbye to all the characters we had gotten to know over the last six seasons, and I think it was well executed. Cinematography, script...

    For me the only bright spot of last nights episode was seeing Ben go back to his old self (assuming he doesnt have a deeper plan). The rest was a big steaming pile of "meh" It seems their idea of closing the loop on characters and threads is off 2-3 of them per episode now in completely...

    Yea couldn't have said it better. And your point about the characters really not mattering...yea I feel that too. BTW I like your comment: "I think this show suffers from the opposite of what I remember jms once describing as good writing." So.....you mean bad writing then? ;)

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    No of course not. But the writers of this show have been extremely public and interactive via the web and blogs since the shows release. It was part of the original hype of the show. I had begun to expect this to end poorly, but what I am seeing (so far) is leaning towards even worse than I...

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    I'm not comparing the show to B5 by any stretch. What I am saying is that the entire concept of the show since its viral marketing (ala JJ Abrams) was about the island and its mysteries, and there was constant online communication from the writers about how everything has a purpose and meaning...

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    The problem is, how many of those things are actually relevant to the story, and how many of those things were just made up to make the island mysterious and keep viewers chasing the carrot being dangled in front of them. It wasn't as well planned out as they maintained, and in the next two...

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    The writers have been, since day one. The entire premise and format of the show, and their hook to get viewers in, is based on getting answers to the mysteries they have set up.

    Anyone still watching Lost?

    Yes. Let the disappoint begin. I love how they made it a point to flashback at the end of the episode with the two bodies, to that Season 1 episode where Jack and Kate found "the islands own Adam and Eve." What they didn't cut back to was the part where Jack had said that given the...

    Walmart - b5 dvds

    Not sure I understand your logic here. You do realize that DVDs sold in "Brick and Mortar" stores get SHIPPED to this stores from another location? Possibly from 2-3 locations? How is that different than it being shipped to your doorstep? Then you have warehouse people tossing them around...

    Futurama news

    Yea but South Park has been on this entire time. Family Guy was legendary, was cancelled before its time, its writers went on to do American Dad, and then when Family Guy came back it was a ghost of its former self. South Park, while falling pretty hard, overall kept itself solid for a LOT...
