Ravenbomb, you've GOT to use "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZtop.

Regarding the Thing in the forrest It's not a polar bear. I think that is just supposed to be a hint at their location. They're a thousand miles off course, they were around the Fiji islands when they were fucked, which puts them around the Antarctic - hence the polar bear. Which means this tropical island is old and has sustained life since the continents shifted. As for the cliched and predictable parts - that all changes in the next episode. Some characters are turned upside down in the next one and the final moment is a total "WHAT THE FUCK?!??/HOLY SHIT!" moment. I dunno if this will help, but they edited that scene down. Originally, while he was helping do CPR to the woman he saw the Airplane wing about to fall but still had to help her. They drew it out in the original where he had to make the choice, but in the one on ABC had him immediately saving the woman and then running over.

W.bs bringing the format Great: I loved the fact that there were very few commercial breaks and that they let the opening scene go almost 20 minutes. The opening scenes outside the airplane as-well-as the plane crash. Just visceral stuff, it really sucks you in I disagree with Flyboy on Jack, I enjoyed every second he was on the screen. He's the rock; the one you look to for order and "safeness". And you just know they're going to destroy that image soon enough . IMO, the hero of the show thus far is Jorge's character (the fat guy), as he's totally "regular", doesn't have any special skills, but does the best he can and has a good "heart". The large cast. Great call. Lots of potential. Right now you aren't really seeing it, but in the next episode gives you a pretty good grasp at how this group dynamic will work out. The Questions. There are soooo many questions and I picked up on a lot of hints watching it again. Very Rewarding. Why _was_ he in the bathroom Not-so-great: Some of the camera shots. I know they were going for a "creepy" vibe, but they sorta took you out of the moment. No Widescreen. It should have had the cinematic look to go along with the feel. The edited it! Not a lot, just a trim here and there. But I am a geek for this show, so !@#$%~!

What's with the preoccupation with calling Buffy? The Season had its low-points (Cordy taking up 80% of it and it was _low_), but how much ass do they have to show? Why didn't Buffy call Angel? Why didn't they all join forces? Well, seeing as at the time of the two shows they each had their own shit to deal with, it probably wouldn't have worked.

Orpheus had two things that I hate in it: "Inside their mind" and Willow It was fun seeing _Fred_ interact with Willow, but that was the extent of her use on the show for me. As for the "Inside.." thing, I can never wrap my mind around it (no pun). I can believe a lot, but I just can't believe that. It's so fucking retarded. Meanwhile, Home was amazing. Number 1, it concluded the Connor Saga in like the greatest way they've ever resolved a storyline... EVER. It just worked so well. Two, it had the last appearance of Lilah. Excuse me... LILAH~!. Three, It set up the best Angel season in Season 5 as-well-as some of its themes and did it smoothly, IMO. Plus it was so refreshing after all the drama in Season 4. In that one episode they totally changed the pace and the feel of Angel. Wes trying to destroy Lilahs contract, Gunn in the white room, Fred with the machine gun, Lorne in the limo, Angel outside the house - all of these images let an impression and foreshadowed the next season.

Dude, the first thing I said was "Why isn't this in widescreen" The fun twists come in the next episode, but I was markin out pretty hard anyways for this one.

And Naitch, you know I'm your hookup http://www.versaphile.com/download/firefly.html

I enjoyed this WAY too much. From JEWEL STAITE. 21 September 2004 Hi Roj Now that my life is relatively back to "normal" (what is that?), I'm not sure what to write about. I guess I should just be honest and say what's on my mind. WORK. Work is a good thing. All of my friends are telling me to chill out, take a break, live life like a normal person (there's that word again), and just do the things that make me happy. But I think to be creatively happy, I have to be involved in something work-wise that I love. Which isn't the case right now. But I'm still content. Lately I'm spending my days walking my dog, going shopping for sweaters and fall gear, catching up with friends over long lunches or cocktails at my favorite spots around the city... sleeping in and hanging out with my family, and doing errands I forgot about sixth months ago like getting my teeth cleaned. There are auditions, of course, which is nice... but it's hard to come off of something so wonderful, like "Serenity", and have to distance yourself just so you're not disappointed... if that makes sense. Nothing is ever going to be like that experience. That's just the way it is. During our long drive home to Vancouver, Matty and I came up with a new, very addictive game called "Top Ten". I think up a category, like, "what's your favorite top ten vacation spots ever?" and he answers, then I answer... and then it's his turn to think up the next category (I think one of his was, "what were your top ten favorite songs that make you cry?") Anyway. I thought I'd apply my new favorite game here, and give you my top ten favorite things about Serenity, my top ten least favorite things about filming Serenity, and then finally... since some people are wondering about how DragonCon went, my top ten favorite things about DragonCon. So here goes: * these are in no particular order, either.. number one isn't any better than number five, and so on...* TOP TEN THINGS I WILL MISS FROM FILMING "SERENITY": 1. The breakfast sandwiches every morning. Little egg, little bacon, little tomato, little processed cheese, little English muffin.... hello!!! 2. Sean Maher's laugh. I could listen to Sean laugh all day long. His nostrils flare slightly when he laughs. (shhh) 3. Watching the footage from the day previous every lunch hour. What an excellent breaking point to the middle of the day.... and how inspiring that was. 4. Giving Nathan the finger, more ways than one (hundred). 5. Nathan's parties at his house. And how the girls always won on game night. And yes, I said ALWAYS. 6. Joss-hugs. 7. The cakes and letters and other wonderful things delivered to us by faithful Browncoats. 8. Conversations with Morena. And Summer. And Gina. I miss them. 9. The hair and make-up team!!! I. LOVED. MY. HAIR. 10. This crew. And this cast. Actually, every single person who was involved in the making of this movie. I had the best time. It filled every expectation and then some. I am so proud I was a part of it. And now... TOP FIVE THINGS I DON'T MISS ABOUT FILMING "SERENITY": (cause I can't think of ten) 1. Getting indigestion from the breakfast sandwiches. 2. The smell of the toilets in the dressing rooms when they hadn't been emptied for a few weeks. 3. Walking in on political discussions involving I-won't-say-who. 4. The Jurassic Park theme song. 5. Saying good-bye. And finally: TOP TEN FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT DRAGON*CON: 1. The fans. Hands down. How much fun did we have? And thank you to everyone you showed us a good time at the Hyatt bar... you know who you are. 2. The Marriott Hotel. Which was beautiful. 3. Spending some time with "11th Hour" aka Susan, who rocks. What a brilliant woman. 4. The Q&A sessions. Those are always my most favorite, and I wish they lasted for three hours... not one. One isn't enough, people!! 5. The panel involving the true Firefly/soon-to-be Serenity fans in the Hyatt on Sunday night. Thank you for welcoming me and letting me interrupt your panel. You guys are awesome. 6. All the people dressed up as the Firefly crew, especially the "Kaylee's"... nice job! 7. Flipping Nathan the bird along with the rest of the Dragon*Con population. 8. The last-minute, absolutely wonderful birthday party thrown for Matty on his 25th birthday. Thanks for making him feel so welcome, as always. 9. All the "fabulous people" (you know who you are) I met in the VIP suite. Can't wait to see you again. 10. The food. No, just joking..... I would say, lastly, the amount of spirit I witnessed. There are a lot of people out there who care about this show, and about "Serenity", and it's future. Because of you, we may be able to do a few more movies... That's the goal, right? I can't express my gratitude enough to you people. Thanks for an awesome labor day weekend. I'll be keeping in touch.... Can't wait for you guys to see that first trailer!!!! Love Jewel

He *is* a hall of famer, guys, and probably made it in the quickest amount of time too.

I am waiting for Muhammad Ali to get stopped.

Man, I did not do what I wanted to do in this thread... But... IT'S ON TONIGHT! I have never been more excited for a television series premiere. Hell, I have NEVER been excited for a TV Premiere.

I imagine they'll do a multiple choice of wrestlers and gimmicks to choose from, and fans will vote online and none of it will mean a lick cause they really don't care what the fans want. I suppose they think the Interactive element is an incentive for fans to buy the PPV - so they can watch the show "they made". Though it honestly wouldn't surprise me if they charged $0.99 a vote (which honestly is a good idea in terms of creating a database and seeing who has interest in what... but it's a total rip off to the fans).

I'll get you someday Rando. *SOMEDAY*

You know their idea of "using" the Hurricane will probably be to have him lose the Superhero gimmick (A very profitable and over gimmick with lots more potential than they are using now) and have him go "straight" and feud with Rosie. Rosie wins and then loses to Simon Dean.

He loves making shadow puppets "Get it? It's a dog! WRORF!"

He was called it for, like, a day. I, of course, noted it because it was retarded. Sugar Shane Helms was one of the best parts of WCW in 2001 before it died and that they changed it was a sure sign that they weren't willing to commit to the WCW Invasion Angle.

Everyone calls Norton.

You suppose RIGHT.

Agreed: It just-so-happens 90% of Flairs matches now-a-days are against Benoit... and vice-versa. Flair's taken what, 500 back drops this year alone? 10,000 chops?

*ding* Greg The Bunny + Al Gore + WWE + Hell + M&M's. Spell it out. RANDO.

Statement: Benoit and Flair should never wrestle again as in EVERY SINGLE MATCH they've wrestled they've done THE EXACT SAME SPOTS EV-ER-Y FUCK-ING TIME.

Nah, this is UNSANCTIONED. Anyone can answer, anyone can post. Call it a Practice Round

A cheap Hogan rip off? Yeah, like I'd support THAT.

Spike/Buffy in season 5 was fucking awesome. "Out For A Walk... BITCH." I enjoyed Dru/Darla very much. It goes under Spike/Joyce. Actually, Buffy/Spike goes above Anya and Xander, as they didn't drop off too much in Season 7.

HA! I am NOT CRAZY!~ AAAAAAHAHHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAH
