    Countdown to Infinite Crisis, six page preview

    The fact of the matter is if that DC had really and truly rebooted the DCU after Crisis (or Zero Hour), Hypertime wouldn't be necessary. Of course, that's easier said than done, and as such you're better off having stuff retconned into Hypertime that ignoring it altogether. So anyways, yeah, not a big fan, but noone's really abused it yet. Of course, I'll change my tune once they announce an All-Star/DCU Superman teamup...

    Battlestar Galactica

    That's probably the old school fanbase doing the bashing. I guess they just love capes and such. I'd say that's really part of the character. You're 44th in line for the Presidency, and suddenly it's thrust on you. Chances are you're not ready for the responsibility, nor were you ever expecting it.

    Box Office Report

    Excellent news for Sin City. And holy shit I'm impressed that Hitch has had such staying power...

    Battlestar Galactica

    I enjoy this show. Unfortunately my parents don't get Space up here in Toronto so I'm SOL for the moment (at least I can watch Numb3rs though). But anyways, I think that the producers have done a solid job with the show. And also, I find it ironic that the two sci-fi shows that are getting the critical acclaim and ratings (Galactica and the 4400) are run by two guys best known for Deep Space Nine, while the Trek franchise has crashed and burned under the watch of Berman and Braga.

    Robotech

    Nonsensical deux de machina device used to create a common link between the three Robotech Sagas together. The best explanation that you'll ever get from Protoculture is from the novelizations/original novels from the Brian Daley/James Luceno tandem. Obviously, being able to write without the restriction of being a half-hour show helps them out a lot. I don't think their explanation is canon, though. The story I've heard is that Southern Cross was actually cancelled and thus never had a proper ending, and so the Robotech "creators" needed another show to bring the total number of eps to the magical syndie number of 65, and thus, Mosepeda was tacked on. Anyways, "The Masters" sticks out like a sore thumb as far as the three Robotech generations go, and like Jason X I'd say to just get Southern Cross and be done with it. The other two are fine to watch in their Robotech versions.

    Chances are not too good of that right now...

    American Idol Season 4

    Carrie's probably the best female on the show. Nadia's pretty good when she's on, but she's inconsistent.

    REVENGE OF THE SITH COMIC/NOVELIZATION Discussion

    So it'll be pretty accurate with respect to the acting, then?

    Celebrity Deaths that got to you

    Noone really yet, but it seems like I'll be adding one at the end of today...

    Survivor : Palau

    So here's a question: If Koror were not forced to vote off one member before, would Bobby Jon and Steph have been forced to go straight to a Purple Rock OF DOOM~! scenario?

    In that vein, a rumour that's been popping up is that Drake will become Blue Beetle III, which Chuck Dixon had pushed for a long, long time ago.

    LOST

    Yes. As punishment, you must find Diego Sanchez or Forrest Griffen and challenge them to a fight...

    REVENGE OF THE SITH COMIC/NOVELIZATION Discussion

    I'm sure that was an editorial decision. Comic book fans, I've heard, can be rather obsessive about things. Who's the creative team, btw?

    Countdown to Infinite Crisis, six page preview

    I'm loving all of this. 2005 is going to be the year DC just stomps on Marvel, creatively, all year long. Now that you mention the villain mindwiping, I'm gonna have to reread my TPB of Squadron Supreme. I'm sure we can make some comparisons there.

    Cast of Surreal Life 5 Revealed

    No, because she seems to have that effect on people.

    LOST

    Hmm, yes, I forgot to say what I meant. Again. This ep depends a lot on what we saw in Walkabout. It helps us understand a bit more about why he was the man we saw in that early ep. So, if you didn't see Walkabout, this ep might go a bit over your head...

    LOST

    I don't think you can judge this ep without having seen Walkabout, because it expands on some of the things we've already seen by showing Locke (with hair) during his One Hour Photo phase... ...so, I'd cop out and paraphrase Michael Bolton: "It's so hard to say... I guess I like 'em both"

    Cast of Surreal Life 5 Revealed

    (1) I can't be thte only one who thought it said Corey Hart, right? Yeah, I'm in my early 30's. Bite me... (2) Can Omarosa PLEASE just go away? (3)I'm gonna have to agree with Exslade - Salt was always hotter.

    LOST

    Don't forget the whole "clever nickname" speech. The writing crew were really on the ball with the snarky stuff...

    American Idol Season 4

    Honestly? The name is just kinda there. She's got big breasts, and calling her Juggsica helps to distinguish her from the other reality show chicks with breasts that we ogle and call Juggs. Don't read anything more into it than that...

    American Idol Season 4

    Juggs is gone. That sucks.

    American Idol Season 4

    I actually enjoyed that Ford commercial, probably because doing Digable Planets doesn't subject us to cheesy group singing...

    Dude, that's some pretty fucked up shit right there...

    I dunno, I've enjoyed them. But I think you're right about the editors.

    American Idol Season 4

    It typically does. 6 is about where the really good get separated from the good enough, although if you look back at AI3, there were maybe 2 that I'd call really good, and Jennifer Hudson was eliminated way too early.
