starvenger

I wouldn't exactly call Jack a total badass. He and Sawyer are kinda Kirk whereas Sayid and Locke (and maybe Jin - jury's still out on him) are more Sisko. Speaking of sci-fi, the Locke/Boone thing seems like a nod to Star Wars.

I agree with you that there are no real reality shows on network TV, but it's like saying that Soap Operas are neither soap nor opera. (edit: yes, I do know why they're called that) It's the name the genre has been given, and we've been conditioned to understand that a show does not have to represent the real world (not the show) to be called "reality TV".

I would think that the emergence of the DVD market has some effect on this as well. By editing the movie down to a PG13 rating, then releasing both that and a R/unrated "Director's Cut" on DVD you can potentially increase profits.

I hate it when people piss on Reality TV as a whole, since there are some great shows out there, like The Mole and The Amazing Race. As for The Will, a crappy show is a crappy show, no matter what the genre.

I have to agree with you there. Regardless, they've done 2 swerve deaths in what, 4 episodes? I know the writers are better than that. Next one better be real. And it better not be the old woman or Vincent or Walt, either. I just want to go all Screamin' A Starvenger saying HOLY FUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY JUST DID THAT, and the minor characters ain't gonna cut it. Jin's Korean, so in all likelyhood he's not Yakuza.

I like Night Court, but I didn't really think it found it's legs until Mac and Billie came aboard. There was too much "we don't like Harry" in S1. It's close to one and the same for me, although there are some that are in the "when I have the spare cash" list. Ron D Moore's Battlestar Galactica falls under that.

Probably because the chicks like Brad Pitt more than Sting? Regardless, I agree with you. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is the better movie.

Don't be silly, there's no way he can get painkiller shots at every Pit Stop...

Welcome to the Dark Side, Boone...

Once again... what the fuck?

Well, at least they're not blood-related...

Um, the fuck?

Jin seemed to understand that, because he had the universal "Hell, no" look...

Screamin's first guests - Ty Pennington and Jimmy Hart. Well, it's funnier than anything Kilborn's done the last few years... I believe that it's been folded into Cold Pizza.

It appears that I'm wrong about this. DC is reprinting the ENTIRE series around April, with a HC around September...

Got that right

Didn't they do that on PTI already? I actually remember missing Kornholio and Wilbon...

In case anyone's interested TVGuide.com provides this little nugget regarding the Abrams shows. So, easter egg or proof that they're in the same universe?

Actually it's something that's routinely said by football announcers. The difference being that they explain it correctly - if there's a botched snap or a fumble prior to the kick, the offensive team retains since there was technically no field goal attempted and missed.

The only time I've been able to tolerate this guy was during Dream Job, since he didn't shout all the time. And any hope I had that this show would die a quick death ended when I saw that it would be on ESPN2, which continues to give us Cold Pizza (fortunately, Thea Andrews is hot).

To give Frank Miller a co-director credit, yes. Classy move, by the way.

I'm pretty sure that it was.

Tonight's the Boone and Shannon flashback show. Apparently they have a "shocking secret", and I trust Abrams and co enough that it won't be a Jerry Springer moment, if you know what I mean.

Why would you call a movie Rambo III when the first two movies were First Blood and Rambo: First Blood part 2? Was it because Rambo II: First Blood part 3 would make your head explode if you thought about it too long? Yes.

Didn't QT resign from DGA so that he could direct a part of Sin City?
