C'mon, TCR = Views.

I'm pretty sure the playoffs were going on when RAW hit 4.0, so why wasn't it hurt then?

I can see that with Football because Football = Violence, therefore there is a common ground for fan interest, which is why numbers go down in fall. But this is basketball - which is like, the opposite of that - and historically, numbers haven't really gone down during playoff season.

Bradshaw did explain the rules, at length - touch 4 corners while attached to your opponent.

I think we all know that The Czech Republic is the real draw of this forum.

But if I buy the Buffy Season 5 boxset it might make the Firefly boxset jealous -or worse- think that I don't love it anymore.

I don't really see the connection between Basketball and Wrestling.

Plus... It could morph into any dead creature and was fucking BUFFY for 90% of the time. Why even go through all the bads from the Master to Glory when they weren't planning on using any of them?! (Cept for Warren and The Mayor). That's retarded. ...Though not as retarded as Evil Cordy.

It's hilarious to hear Vince say all this stuff and look at his past actions. Fuck, if Landsberg had any balls* he'd call Vince on all that shit. (*which is to say, "if he was stupid and wanted to piss off the guy who brings the show ratings in his wrestlers...")

Yeah, but the GG's signature is still needed on all bills and legislation. So to say that we've "completely" moved away from Britain is not true.

An informal study shows that Memorial Day does not negatively effect ratings. In some instances, the rating either went up from the previous week or was higher than the average. Again, this is an informal study.

However, it _does_ indicate (rather than "mean") that not a lot of people are really impressed or interested in the HITC match; given that the majority of last weeks show was built around it. They didn't "tune in next week" to see what the reaction is. However, with that said, it would be nice to see some previous Memorial day ratings and how they were related to (1)the previous weeks show and (2)the average rating.

It tried to kill the SITs, but that doesn't change the fact that at the end FE claimed the ubies were to make it corporeal. That's what it says. In it's own words. I thought the whole deal was "There is a balance between Good and Evil - when there is more Evil on earth than good and the balance swings in my favour, I get to be free. The Ubies -being evil- represent that. That's lame though! All that hype about controlling Spike, the trigger, "it's not time", ect. and all it amounts to is "...well it wanted to distract Buffy". That is so anti-climatic! Did I say "it wanted to distract Buffy"? I said it wanted to drive a wedge between the scoobies and the slayer. You know, that group which beat A GOD in Season 5 by working together? That, in fact, worked as a group to beat a whole bunch of baddies. The First knew the Slayer was strong when her friends were behind her, it had to fix that. Spike -much like Angel- was a dividing point that had lots of cards the first could play - killing Woods mother being one of them. Xander and Giles could be swung against him given their histories (Spike w. Anya, Giles always thinking of the greater good). Oh come on. FE brought him back all the way from Mexico because he was "easily manipulated"? Why Andrew? Why not a random Bringer? Why not just have Caleb cut his hand? That's what Buffy did in Chosen. I gave you an answer. You choose not to accept it. In Season 6 Andrew was easily manipulated by Warren and was dependant on him - so much so that if Warren came back from the grave - even if it defied reasonable thought - Andrew would still accept it and follow his word. It didn't even plan for him to be caught, so saying that he has ties to the scoobies is nonsense. FE brought him back to open the seal, not to mess with the scoobies. The scoobies never would have known it was him had Willow not caught him. The plan may not have involved him getting caught, but the possibility was clearly always there - the seal being in the high school and all. The First had back up plans so obviously it expected some plans to fail. And you seriously need some comprehension skills here with your reading. "If Andrew got caught, the scoobies wouldn't kill him" does not equal "the first wanted to mess around with the scoobies." You are taking one thing and putting it in a completely different context. If you are actually looking for answers, fine, but it seems like you're asking questions when you should actually be making statements. Why Andrew? It was answered. Why Spike? It was answered. You don't like those answers, fine. Stop asking questions to which you KNOW you won't accept the answer and just say you don't like it. I don't like how the First stayed in Buffy form 90% of the time. I don't like a lot of that storyline, infact. And some of it you touch on below.

You don't own the DVD of your favorite Buffy season? You don't kiss my ass? Well... ... KISS MY ASS! Joss' commentary on The Body -while revealing- almost made me want to shoot myself. I am pissed that they didn't have any featurette and commentary on The Gift. Dumb fuckers.

Who are you again?

I like Layton. I was going to vote Martin because I was brainwashed by my Grade 12 Economics teacher that he was the man, but the guy doesn't have a lot of balls. I was reading an article in the newspaper asking each candidate what would 2008 say and Layton was the only one who actually had some fucking goals focusing mainly on the environment and social services while Harper was playing the sponsorship scandal card like Bush played "Clinton is a whore" card back in 00. Martin was better than Harper, but was fucking vague on a lot of stuff.

They don't have Austin vs. Benoit or Brock vs. Benoit or any Dynamite Kid matches??!?!??!?! God this company hates me. Beautiful.

I rented Buffy Season 5 dvd 5&6. ... I'm kinda excited about watching it. ............ .... .. . What have I become?

Don't forget he had the epic cast gimmick and a win over the biggest heel on the roster* - Kane. (*Not actually the biggest heel on the roster)

Um.. Have the fans been given a reason to cheer Edge?

1. The first was messing with Spike to drive a wedge between the slayer and the scoobies. Other things support "the first wants to break up the scoobies", like telling Dawn that Buffy won't choose her, and -of course- the slayer breaking up with the scoobies. 2. This is speculation with some support, the First was worried about the Scythe - since it is the weapon of the slayer. The first was protecting it/trying to find it (if forget which), but it WAS important. This explains why it wanted to get rid of all the potential slayers - so none of them could use that weapon // or // the weapon couldn't be used to make them all slayers. It is Ironic that these two plans fucked the first over - as it was when buffy was separated from the scoobies that she found the scythe. 3. Andrew was easily manipulated, which is why the first used him. Plus, he's so likable that the scoobies wouldn't kill him/kick him out. Pretty simple.

The biggest problem I saw last night is that EVERY MATCH WAS THE FUCKING SAME.

*taps nose

This Friday between 10:00-12:00 (PM I believe) you can order online. The Password is... HA! I ain't tellin! Not that it matters, it will be up within 24 hours. It's retarded and obvious, that's all I will say.
