*Gives AS the Worm* *Get's a 2.99999* *Offers Canadian Chick a beer* *CC refuses* *Looks to AS* *AS nods* *Hands AS a beer and both drink while making CC feel left out and ostracized. The social situation has forced her to take the beer.* *CC is about to drink* *Quickly, Brian Robbins - who played Eric Mardian on 80's hit sitcom Head of the Class - enters and cuts a PSA teaching CC a lifelesson about drinking and peer pressure. "The More You Know" flashes on screen*

NotJames = The Man with the Plan, and I like that plan. *Smiles and shakes AS's hand* *Raises hands and makes a circle around the ring while pointing with other hand towards AS saying "He's the man"* *Clotheslines AS ala Gail Kim - therefore misses and tears bicep muscle, falls to canvas crying like little girl... takes Bag of Ketchup Chips out of pants and opens and eats... smiles and cries and laughs all at the same time* *Continues to kill joke* *laughs maniacally*

Same with my buddy who I forced to watch it. I can't name any shows on Fox right now that are on Friday nights - where, unfortunately, Firefly was saddled (no pun intended). I'll explain the premise as best I can. "It's a Western in Space" = Short Version. To expand on that: "Five hundred years in the future there's a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of the Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space." - Back of the Box What I really like about the show is that Joss has a knack of giving you the impression of one thing - but goes in a totally different direction. For example: Spoiler (Highlight to Read): They pick up a crate off an abandoned ship - inside it looks like bars of something, you think it's gold. In the end they turn out to be foodbars. I love the universe he has created. This is no star trek, nothing comes easy, there are no replicators and there sure-as-shit ain't no Federation Values. The two villains, the Alliance and the Reavers, represent two of the more seedy side of humanity. The Alliance being the cold, corporate, government, let's-buy-a-$150-typewriter-and-give-nothing-to-the-homeless type. They are what humanity becomes when thinking about the bottom line rather than truth. For example: Spoiler (Highlight to Read): The character "Book" - a preacher - is dying, and they take him to the Alliance ship for help... well, they don't. That is until they find out that he's important and worth caring for. The Reavers, well, they fucking scare me. In the first episode they are established as a huge threat - but it doesn't really sink in until "Bushwhacked" where Spoiler (Highlight to Read): You see a survivor of a Reaver attack - someone whom they made watch as they brutally attacked and kill the rest of the crew... or as Zoe puts it "First they'll rape us to death, then they'll eat us, and take our skin and put it on their clothing.. hopefully, in that order."... and the only way he can compensate is by "becoming" like one of them, so he mutilates himself, speaks irrationally, and goes around killing folk - some pretty fucked up stuff. Really makes the Reavers seem threatening. They're a bunch of Hannibal Lectors, only more psychotic. They are the opposite of The Alliance - they are the primal side. In this universe, various planets and moons are terriformed and colonized - they are not like Star Trek where resources are unlimited; they have to start over, which is why you have the wild west motif. Makes sense, says I. It takes the original Star Trek premise further and does it in a way that doesn't talk down to you in technobabble. Which is another quirk I really like - the culture here isn't all American; there's an influx of Chinese culture. You'll hear various Chinese phrases (usually when they are mad and cursing) as well as Chinese lettering. Cultures have merged and formed a new one. I also like how they talk about the destruction of earth as an afterthought and not made it a big deal. You hear it as an off-hand comment rather than a history lesson. The names aren't "normal" but that's cool cause I actually remember them... which is actually quite amazing considering that I suck at remembering names. You have Mal, Zoe, Wash, Jayne (male), Kaylee, Book, Simon, Inara, and River. The Dickery. I love people being bastards. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Mal has a guy down after a bloody sword fight and has his blade pointing. "Great men give Mercy" *Pokes guy in Gut* "I guess I'm just a good guy" *Pokes again* "I'm ok" The Women are Hot. Small point, but Inara is so very fuckable. Which is another fun thing about this universe - Whores (or "companions") are actually looked up to and is a respectable position (for the most part). The Camera work is really, really, um, not usual. It gets arty sometimes, and they take a lot of risks with a lot of their shots. It's not conventional and it really enhances the universe created. I really like the characters. Mal is like, fucking awesome. Nathan Fillion does an excellent job here. There's so much depth to his character, that I won't go into it. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): The scene were he tells Jayne to get up and go from the table was just fucking sweet. Joss said in the commentary that that was were he said "This guy is a star" (or something to that regard) and I totally agree. Wash is hilarious, the scene with the dinosaurs had me on the floor. I can't wait to see more of him and listen to his commentary. Jayne is the typical tough dumb guy, but he fucking owns that role so it's not so typical. "Remember, I just want you to scare him" "What? Pain is Scary" He is not the bastard with the heart of gold like Mal is; he's just a bastard. Book, River, and Inara have their gimmicks, and Book and River plays theirs really well, but Inara kinda sleeps through it... but that doesn't really matter cause she's has the aforementioned fuckability. Zoe and Kaylee are good, Kaylee has me between fucking annoying at times and that's such a sweet girl at other times. Zoe does the best she can with what she gat; and she does it well. Simon is particularly excellent.

Hey, ya went there twice.

*raises chin and grabs tie and neverously adjusts while biting teeth* Eeeouuuhhooohoooo

Well, to be fair, Nagata's only MMA fight to date was against Cro Cop - and that was before the highkick was ever really an issue or something to look out for - so we don't really know how well he'd do. I mean, he'll probably get slaughtered - it's just a matter of when.

But they still have Apple Pie... *smiles* *looks out to crowd* *waits for laughs* *someone coughs* *tumbleweed slowly tumbles by* *crickets* *someone shouts out "you suck" followed by another cough* ... that joke woulda slayed in 1999

SLEEP?! Who needs sleep?! Overrated if you ask me. You be a fuckin trooper and force yourself! WWJD?! What Would Jayne Do?!

Dames writes too much. Too much readin. Makes the head hert. Fuck the PBP and just do your opinions, some **** and what was good and bad in it - anything that stood out - and the backstory, cause it's your "thing".

This thread is good, but...

And oops... wrong poster... I always get those two mixed up... it's not like I was actually, you know, wishing for some sort of, thing, between you and CanadianChris... I was just... um.. saying, you know... it was a mistake, that's it, an innocent mistake... crazy kids and your music.

It's not actually made of butter - it's brown sugar and corn syrup.

Dude, are you inferring that you're going to have sex with CanadianChris?

Then, then, then.. What do *I* do? I don't think this was to piss people off so much as it was to benoit-hate... Mr. Z is a HHH mark, that should s'plain some things.

I hate on Raisins. Whatchagunnado lilman!!! *hates some more* The filling MAKES the tart. Then the crust. Raisins are like lil mouse turds suck in there. You like that? You like mouse turds you sick bastard? *hates some more*

Raisins fucking suck. They ruin the texture of anything they are in. FUCK RAISINS!

Dude, 99% of the threads in that folder aren't funny - Fertig was _B_R_I_L_L_I_A_N_T_

No Butter Tarts? Shit, I just had a butter tart yesterday -homemade motherfuckaz- delicious. I hate raisins in everything (though I love raisins individually), so I prefer pecan tarts more than butter tarts.

Plus, Angel probably hadn't had sex in over 100 years... that's a lot of fuckstration for one man to handle.

In other news, WWE.com says that Angle injured his neck at WM19.

I dunno about that, they had *3* major angles surrounding 4 major stars being resolved or expanded upon - Austin, Foley, Michaels, HHH. If these supposed "big names" aren't bringing attention to the show - if the fans don't care enough to watch, or tell a friend, or simply are not interested, then I think that means something. If this were just one angle, I'd shrug it off too, but this was THREE.

Most world champions were midcard champions first. I don't want anybody else being another Brock Lesnar. What does this have to do with anything?

*Sees Firefly mentioned in Rudo's post. Laughs* Oh I could go on-and-on-and-on about why Firefly smokes everything the WWE does. But for some _strange_ reason, I don't think you'd care. I'm sorry... what were you saying? I'm saying I find your opinions laughable. As in "Leagues better than Brock/Benoit" means nothing, coming from you. Well it means something, something that's funny... but nothing to take seriously. That's why I laughed. Oh and this match had actual suspense, Benoit/Lesnar did not. Also, whenever I rewatch Benoit "passing out" in the Brock Lock I literally bust out into laughter. I've seen better acting in the Star Wars prequels. Also, these two guys weren't using the SmackDown "I wish this was MMA" Main Event style that's become REALLY passe. Ah yes, so HHH flopping around in the figure four is Juilliard-level acting? Right. You laughing at Benoit being put it quite a painful-looking move pretty much well says it all (I'll help explain; before, when I said your opinion was laughable - HERE's why. Do you watch wrestling with a plastic bag over your head?)

He worked on Austins book which gave the Coach time to commentate on RAW. Which sucked. He also hired Coach - being VP of Talent, and all. JR protects his spot for another year... and unfortunately with the brandsplit, Tazz and Cole are pretty safe on Smackdown.
