The Ghost of bps21

I voted for Austin Powers.

Would I rather watch the B wrestling show or a non-basketball game... Let me think... Last week Velocity had two real good matches... Or I can watch people dunk a basketball for no reason... Think...Think...Think...

I will...since it's one of only two sports in my area.

I still think the show is pretty boring.

To answer Brian's question from a while back: Yes the same thing could happen to Smallville...but the difference is Superman is a trademarked property of Warner Bros....and the WB is a Warner Bros. Station. Unlike Buffy/Angel...WB is running a show from their own company. Plus...it does great ratings. They didn't cancel 7th Heaven when it was their #1 ratings grabber...and it was surprising to say the least that they did off Buffy since it was their most marketable show and really...the flagship. Don't look for Smallville to end until WB wants it to.

The defensemen are going to get killed out there if the Goalies can't get the puck.

Joe Gibbs comes in and the first two things he does player wise is piss off his really good young QB and let one of his two franchise players seek a trade. WOO!!!!!!!!!

How can you blame the Yankees for this? 1. Texas signed him to this ridiculous contract...and the Players Association won't let the deal change that much. 2. Boston was trying to do the same thing. I didn't hear anyone bitching when Boston tried to get him. As long as there is no cap in baseball...the Yankees are just playing by the rules someone else set up. Besides...I like anything that pisses of Boston fans.

Can something never announced actually be postponed?

Here's the email I got in reply to leaving feedback last night after the show about the tech problems: "Thank you for taking the time to email us. TNA is extremely disappointed in the transmission problems that occurred during the first part of our pay-per-view last night. We understand and share your frustration. The technical problems with the satellite were beyond our control, but that does not take away from the fact that these problems distracted from the amazing action of the night. Please accept a copy of last night’s show on VHS and our sincere apology. If you could send us your name, complete address, phone number and the original cable/satellite bill, we will ship the tape to you right away. We appreciate your business and hope that we can still count you as a fan of our product. Tim Welch TNA Entertainment, LLC" Following that I got another email with the mailing address: "Here is our address: TNA Entertainment, LLC ATTN: America’s X Cup 209 10th Avenue South STE 302 Nashville, TN 37203 Thank you." So...if you ordered the show you can send in the bill and they'll send you a copy. I think that's a more than adequate response from the company...considering the problem seemed to be on the cable end.

Joss had 3 shows on the air the first half of last season. Now he'll have 0.

Don't get your hopes up too high. They've been running promos for the top three matches for ppvs for a while now...and when you look at the rest of the matches on the card (Nidia/Noble, TWGTT/APA, Bashams/Rikishi&scotty, andmaybe Holly/Rhyno) there was nothing else to choose from.

I know everyone is upset...so I'll post something that will either make you smile or weep depending on how you take it: Angel only has 9 episodes left EVER to wrap up what they want to and conclude what they want to.... ...and in the next episode Angel turns into a puppet.

We've been over this before. What we want is to see them push someone that fans react too before the huge push. First of all...who says Cena sucks? He's exactly who should be getting pushed right now. Orton sucks...and isn't over. Cena's super over. Push Cena. Stop pushing Orton. This isn't that hard.

That could happen. There's an interesting story of rebuilding the watcher's council with all the slayers out there... WB could even air the show. As I said over 4 months ago in this thread: "I wouldn't bet on WB picking it up again. After five years they have to increase the budget...something that they wouldn't do for Buffy, which along with 7th heaven, was their FLAGSHIP show. Angel isn't. " So they can run a new Whedon show for 5 years and then get all cheap for the third time in a row! Anyway...this won't be the last Buffyverse TV show.

I was being generous with distant third. Firefly and Buffy are my two favorite shows of all time (in that order). While Angel often feels like a chore to watch. It lacks the kind of interesting characters that I need. Only Wesley is all that interesting...and that's too few and far between.

Hey...that means we're down to single digit episodes!

At least there's a somewhat intriguing storyline to that fight. Not that the casual boxing fan could give two shits about Corrie Sanders.

Oh well. Angel has never been that interesting to me. I watch it because Buffy is gone and Firefly is gone...but IMHO Angel was a distant third in the Whedonverse. It lacks that special thing that the other two had. Now Joss can spend all of his time trying to get the Firefly movie made. I'll trade one Firefly movie for another year of Angel in a heartbeat.

But the trick is that time moves differently there. A thousand years in hell can be like a year in our world (or whatever) so he would have only aged a year...it would have just taken a thousand years to do so...

I played the demo again...and then went to put my money down. This game looks like a winner to me.

I agree with that. If I had any faith in their ability to improve the storylines and start putting the good workers in positions to just kick ass every week...I'd agree with tpww7...but I don't have that faith in them... so gimmick me up!

I'll take the opposite reaction to that and say they should do stuff like this much more often. If they're supposed to be an alternative to the WWE...things like this are things that you won't see in the WWE.

Well...look at SummerSlam with Brock/Rock. Brock didn't do any switching despite clearly being the crowd favorite...but Rock started heeling it up a bit. Don't just lay it on Goldberg's feet if it goes awry...Brock hasn't proven to be able to do it either.

I have never seen Farscape. But it would have to be the greatest thing ever devised by man to top Firefly on my list. Firefly took down Buffy...and that is something that I thought impossible. I'm sure Farscape is great...but Firefly has that thing that speaks to me. That thing that only Buffy had before it.
