So it's no good, huh? ;)

I watched some more episodes and the show is getting better, though I can't really say I'm hooked.

Did you like Buffy? Coz Wheadon is writing Astonishing, and it's pretty good. And Brubaker's on Uncanny.

It's the best show of it's kind atm, so watch it, maybe they'll make even better ones.

No I really dislike (not wanting to use the word 'hate' lightly) Buffy, Xena, Hercules and anything in that vein really.

I think "put a stake through his heart" would be putting it more aptly, considering the context. ;)

I've only seen a few incomplete episodes of Buffy, so perhaps I just didn't give enough of a chance to the show...

Hey, Xena and Hercules were good... for about 5-6 episodes. Buffy lasted longer, but it did start to wear thin at the end. Still better then alot of crap out there.


Also, anyone see the new BSG ep? Felix is so a cylon.

Could be. But remember how he helped Baltar build the Cylon detecter. Maybe he rigged it. What makes me think so is how when D'Anna saw the final 5 she recognized one and said something like she should have known it was whoever it was. How many Gallactica officers did she interact with?

Buffy was, and IMO is, king of all shows .... but then I may be biased somewhat ....

admittedly I have yet to see beyond season 4 but I will get there when I can rustle up the cash to get the dvd's

No, you just have very low expectations. :tongue:

Watch Firefly, it's another great Wheadon show.

I've heard that .... and since I'm watching the series again (after almost a 10 year hiatus since the beginning) and am still really enjoying it I certainly think it has something good and delicious to offer :D

Melancholy...


So, Lost started up again. Man, Juliet was so wimpy... and what's up with Ben's comment about a spinal surgeon falling out of the sky being fate when whoever Ethan and the other dude worked for could make busses hit ppl?

Ok - LOST is back!

So... Was last night's episode a total flash back for Desmond who saw 'the future' on the island while he was still living in England. Was it all just a 'dream' while he was still on the Island?

(I'm going for lucid dream while knocked out after turning the key.)

But WHY are the writers going to kill off Charlie? I love him!

(But my fave is still Hurly! - And Sawyer. *drool* )

Meh, good riddance. Whining little maggot.

Now, is it any coincidence that there are two characters (JOHN LOCK(e)and Desmond DAVID HUME) named after English empiricist philosophers? I'm waiting for a George Berkeley to show up...

Anyway, I'm not sure yet what the significance is of Desmond's character named after Hume. Being an empiricist, I don't think he would have gone for the whole "universe course correcting" thing. Any thoughts out there?

There's Danielle Rousseau, as well...

I thought Flashes Before Your Eyes was awesome. If some viewers lost faith in the show, this latest episode ought to have totally reclaimed it. Excellent acting from Dez and Pen, and also a great cameo by the venerable Fionnula Flanagan.

A while back I speculated that the off-island sequences might not be simple flashbacks, and this episode suggests there may be something to that. Desmond's may just be the most extreme of the lot. There's been something fishy about all of them -- too many coincidental meetings, too many unseen forces leading people around.

I think his 'See you in another life, brother' line has also become more significant. It would be very interesting to find out what kind of machine that key activated.

I just hope to hell we are not looking at some parallel reality scenario. I'd prefer the 'Matrix' theory to that.

Oh, and hasn't Charlie about run out of use, storywise. He beat his addiction and reconciled with Claire. What's left for him to do? (Speaking of Claire, isn't she looking good lately?)

Yup, that new haircut is lovely. They have a nice selection of hair-dressers on the island.
