RavishingRickRudo

You know, I didn't realize that for a while. It was on one of the commentaries where Joss tallked about the Reavers and how they are the alien equivalent, or the closest thing you'll get to aliens in this. And I didn't really put much significance into it, but when you think of it, no aliens is a pretty big, bold move for a futuristic sci fi. Especially when you factor in all the creatures in Buffy and Angel.

Ah fuck it, this comment was too stupid to ignore. For starters, it wasn't an indicator of it's quality, it was an "indicator" of the universe created. In Star Trek -which is the most popular sci-fi show in history and just so happens to be in the future with spaceships and ray guns-, everything on board the ship runs smoothly. In the Federation, there is no hunger, there is no poor, there is no conflict. This is the ideal future. Joss Whedons future is not ideal and IMO is a little more realistic. There is no Prime Directive or socialist paradise; the primary concern of these characters are to (1)Get Money --so they can-- (2)Keep Flying. And they each have their own reason to be up in the sky. Star Trek was used in juxtaposition of content and universe, period. Not quality of content. It isn't that hard to tell as I clearly state the reason for comparison. Of course, YOU can't make the distinction because (1)Your eagerness for a contradictory post overwhelmed your reading comprehension skills OR (2)You're a fucking moron who couldn't be able to make the distinction clear-headed or with 100 extra IQ points. I'm a big Star Trek fan and appreciate the vision of the future that Roddenberry had; this one is completely different. "This is no star trek, nothing comes easy, there are no replicators and there sure-as-shit ain't no Federation Values." "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." Well I find the 60's show boring, but I've seen every TNG and DS9 episode and I'd say the best of those episodes could beat the worst of Firefly (Heart of Gold, Train Job); however, against Out of Gas, Trash, War Stories, Objects in Space... there's no contest. Now, get out of my thread.

Cause I think it would be really interesting to get different perspectives on characters and themes as well as comments on writing, direction, etc. It's much like what Joss says about the concept of Firefly: "You have 9 people looking out into the darkness as seeing something different." Different people get different things out of the show and I would love to have that reflected in an indepth review. I haven't, in my time, seen anything like that on-line.

Yeah, cause I think if I get maybe 7 people, that's like 2 per episode. I think there are 7 people in here that could do that.

I still love talking about Firefly and am thinking about writing a nice-and-tidy review on it for some site somewhere whereever. Hell, if we have enough people here, we could each pick and choose and episode to review

I.. I don't know what became of me... I let this Poster Tournament go to my head... I'm... I'm sorry... thank you NY Untouchable for your good words... *shakes NY's hand* *crowd cheers* *smiles* Dames Ross: OH BAH FUEGO~! Triple R just hit HBKNY with a steel chair! He turned on his FB-X brother! *Gives NY a supersafe Rudogree*

Oh, you've moved down the list quite a bit, buster. You better be worried about breaking the top 20.

NY Untouchable is sooooo my 5th favourite TSM poster.

Are you saying you're going to violate me? I think there's a long line up of posters who wants that to happen to them, very sad posters, mostly named Frigid Soul... Though it would be very interesting to see what cruel and unusual sigs and avatars I would be subjected to... perhaps one day... but not today. *takes down signs* ....Getting pushed around by CC, how the mighty have fallen. Damn you Firefly sig! Damn you Team Takada avatar! Why must you be so wonderful?

How can you follow a HIAC? You can't. ... it's so nice HHH and HBK put Benoit over.

*Holds up a sign* "LOTC: 2 - 0" *flips over* "Goodear fears LOTC" *Holds up another sign* "Loss: You're Next!" *Flips* "CC got creamed by LOTC"

How much money did Kane make during all those weeks? None? Ok, so "draw" is more like "ratings draw" which is akin to "nobody actually wanted to pay to see him draw" which is not much of a draw at all.

Holy Crap LOTC, you better watch what you say, I hear mods don't take kindly to this sorta thing..

I heard Tito vs. Vern. If the PRIDE card changes, the card changes. Ogawa is god.

All I know about Prangley is he looks like Josh Barnetts mini me Eyes shall be opened.

I really like the UFC card, and if they show some of the prelims OOOH BOY! Ken Shamrock vs. Kimo There is no actual reason for this; no point. BUT, if they have Royce Gracie doing commentary, this would be the greatest match of all time. Hell, if they could do gimmicks, a "Shamrock vs. Kimo with Royce Gracie as special guest referee" would soooo = ratings. I look forward to this because it won't go to a decision. There will be a finish. Plus, the crowd loves Kimo for some reason. Tim Sylvia vs. Frank Mir for Heavyweight Championship Is Mir the real deal or will be get ran over? Either way, this won't go to a decision (RRR loves his finishes!) and someone is bound to get hurt. Matt Hughes vs. Renato Verissimo How can you NOT look forward to this?! Verissimo dominated Newton in his UFC debut and showed well rounded skills. Hughes wants revenge (ok, he doesn't... he was actually kinda happy to lose to BJ... but you can make your own story here) and Verissimo, BJ's BJJ trainer, is the method inwhich he'll extract it. I'm watching this to see how good Verissimo is, and if he wins, who can stop him?? Phil Baroni vs. Evan Tanner I really enjoyed their first fight which was a balls-out slugfest (or something similar to) and this should be no different. Curtis Stout vs. Trevor Prangley Who? Dennis Hallman vs. Frank Trigg This should be really fun. Matt Serra vs. Ivan Menjivar If there is any justice at all in this world, they will air this fight. Georges St. Pierre vs. Jay Hieron C'mon, St. Pierre is going to be huge and they still don't want to put him on PPV. Dumb Zuffa.

Now, I would assume 1 of 2 things: 1. Brock is REALLY up-to-date on MMA in Japan and knows K-1 has branched off into MMA and is not all about kickboxing. K-1 has the most money to offer and tends to spend it. Also, they have Bob Sapp and Brock said he would be interested in a match with Sapp last year when The WWE was in Japan. or 2. Brock (or the reporter) don't know what they're talking about and meant PRIDE.

Or join K-1, a Japanese professional fighting circuit. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!@@@@!

Meh. How is Anyanka saying Wes is cute any different than RRR talking about how foxy Lilah is? Oh please, my lustings over Lilah are sooooo much better than her's over Wes. I mean, jesus... Me: Anyanka:

They said it a bunch of times, and in one case it wasn't in the "about..." way, so I would say 200 years is accurate.

NY Untouchable, if you had any sense of justice, you'd give the title over to croweater.

Last June had the OUTSTANDING UFC 43: Meltdown card and the okayish PRIDE 26: Bad to the Bone card. This year, each promotion turns up the heat as the Ultimate Fighting Championship brings YOU their UFC 48 card that is all about PAYBACK and the PRIDEFC continues their Heavyweight Grand Prix as 8 fighters meet in a Critical Countdown. UFC 48: Payback // Saturday, June 19th 2004 // 10:00 PM EST UFC Website Fight Card Ken Shamrock vs. Kimo Tim Sylvia vs. Frank Mir for Heavyweight Championship Matt Hughes vs. Renato Verissimo Phil Baroni vs. Evan Tanner Curtis Stout vs. Trevor Prangley Dennis Hallman vs. Frank Trigg Matt Serra vs. Ivan Menjivar Georges St. Pierre vs. Jay Hieron Mir vs. Syliva promotional video PRIDEFC Heavyweight Grand Prix Stage 2: Critical Countdown // Sunday, June 20th 2004 // 9:00 PM EST PRIDEFC Website Grand Prix Match Ups: Fedor Emelieneko vs. Kevin Randleman Giant Silva vs. Naoya Ogawa Sergei Kharitonov vs. Semmy Schilt Heath Herring vs. Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera --- Additional Matches: For the rank of #1 middleweight: Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (USA) vs. Ricardo Arona (Brazil) The winner of this match will be positioned for a title shot in October 2004 Kazushi Sakuraba (Japan) vs. Antonio “Nino” Schembri (Brazil) Hidehiko Yoshida (Brazil) vs. Mark Hunt (New Zealand) Like last year, there will be Fight and Fighter profiles and analysis along with some great discussion. I am greatly looking forward to both events (even Shamrock / Kimo) and it will be fun seeing guys like Verissimo, Kharitonov, St. Pierre, Menjivar (~!), Sylvia, Fedor, Nog, Hughes (holy crap is this list getting long!), and hell even RANDLEMAN go at it in the ring.
