Pfft, Reys so strung out on crack that he doesn't remember that.

Dude, you said PERFECTLY average and said that you not hating anything was always good. As if "hey, this didn't SUCK therefore it was AMAZING~!" and how anything average can be seen as "perfect" is beyond me. Newsflash, average isn't a good thing.

Eddie is the Bret Hart in the situation vs. Reys Owen. He doesn't want to fight Rey because he's "like a brother" and Rey is pissed that Eddie hasn't offered him a shot at the title and feels slighted. He begins to get a napoleon complex and starts to bite off more than he can chew; Eddie tries to stop him from being so wreckless (Rey can get addicted to drugs too!) and Rey turns on him saying he doesn't need Eddies help. Eddie realizes the only way he can get Rey to stop is to give him the title shot and beat some sense into him - give him a reality check. Rey needs to hit Rock Bottom before he can get back on his feet and Eddie, unfortunately, has to do that... cause Eddie has been there. Rey said he has beaten Eddie before and will do it again and puts his mask up on the line because the last time they met with that stip, Rey got the better of Guerrero. The match ends and Eddie wins and Rey is dejected, he doesn't want to take his mask off, Eddie forces him to and then shoves a mirror in front of him and Rey sees the man he has become... a broken down, drugged out, face reflects the truth, and Rey learns the error of his ways.

Heel turned Rey (after Rey has a feud with RVD)??

Dan, you're scrambling and contradicting your original post. You said Eddie and JBL gave "stellar performances", then you say you use the word stellar to describe your satisfaction. You say you rated it on your enjoyment, but the only real time you mentioned your enjoyment in your original post was when you said you were "very happy" with it, which was at the end. Then, in your last post, you used words like "good start" "okayish in the middle" to describe the majority of the match... what happened to "excellent" "work his magic" and "wonderful"? As for me nitpicking, DH said something stupid, I wanted that explained to me. It's a hobby, really.

And will we pit them against old school emperor penguins? (The Emperor Penguin being a throwback to the days of Harley Race and Dory Funk - a nice distraction from the ASI Pink Flamigos)

Why can't you just have the WWE folder rules in the regular rules section at the top of the page?? It seems rather redundant to have 2 of them.

I think the Dudleys should chase after Rico and Miss Jackie throughout the next show and hint that they want to fuck Jackie, but when they catch up to the couple, they grab Rico and say they're going to make him squeal like a pig. The next week Rico isn't so flamboyant and Charlie Haas -who normally would be against Gay Rico - wonders why. He brings out a Barbie doll from Jackies bag and tells Rico where did they touch him, the camera zooms in on Haas as Rico points to the various places on the doll where the Dudleys abused him. Haas gets mad and then wants to get even.

Your words don't match your rating Dan. "Main gets ***1/2 from me. I rolled my eyes at the finish but the end sequence MORE than made up for it and put Eddie over more. I was scared Eddie got cut hard-way because that was the HARDEST chairshot I've seen in quite some time. The bladejob surpassed Taker's from HIAC, and the pacing of the match was excellent. Nearfalls were wonderful, and it was good to see Eddie totally own JBL in the 1st five minutes and then work his magic to bring a feud I personally didn't want to see to life. Very happy with the main, but couldn't stay awake for most of the rest. Stellar performance by both guys in my book. *applauds* If I use the words "stellar", "excellent", "very happy", "wonderful", "____est I've ever seen", "work his magic", "surpassed" to describe a match or parts of a match and one that I APPLAUDED, I'd expect that match to be more than ***1/2. But that's me. I tend to give stuff that actually deserves it such praise. RRR: Not arguing anything about the match -it could have been *****'s for all I care (and I don't)- but when silly things are said -like the aforementioned "perfectly average" and "I didn't hate anything, which is always good"- it should be called on.

Mama Guerrero is turning on Eddie, right? A Texas Death Match or a Yappapi Strap Match is due. RRR: Praying for the return of the Yappapi Strap Match.

JCMD, you "applauded" something you gave an under **** performance, unless your rating system is a **** rating system, I have no doubt you can understand DH's POV. Meanwhile, those with actual standards should be scratching their heads. Still waiting for that explanation

Can we not have 5 stuck (sticked?) threads in the WWE folder? Lets not turn this into the DVD Wrestling Folder. 2-3 max. The Question thread, the spoilers thread, the "new members", threads shouldn't be up there..

You equated "didn't hate anything" with "good", and you said "perfectly average". Unless you're really into oxymorons and being ironic, I think some clearification is needed. You not hating anything doesn't mean you liked it; it could also mean "I didn't like it", or "I am indifferent to it" or "it wasn't that bad" or "it was ok". "Perfectly Average" is just stupid. If you consider anything "average" to be "perfect", then what would be "above average"?

"...perfectly average. I didn't really hate anything, which is always a good thing." DH, could you explain this??

The DVD's are visually dark (as they lighted it from the inside out rather than from the outside in), but IMO it's perfect for the tone - you don't miss anything in them. I can't imagine how it would show up on the computer screen; the blooper reel was really dark, but certainly tolerable. ... PRETTY GOOD?!

http://www.versaphile.com/download/firefly.html You can DL the episodes here, however, I recommend watching "Serenity" (the first episode) and then buying the Box Set (cause you WILL buy it after watching Serenity - I'd rank that episode with any of the top Buffy or Angel shows). You could DL all the episodes here, but shit... support the sport...er... show.

Don't worry. There is still a reason to live... ...The Firefly movie is still coming out. After that? I don't know what I'll do...

Once Cordy became a champion, the term lost its meaning. She had visions which would have killed her and decided to keep them so-long-as-she-could "help", but that's all she was doing: helping. Helpers aren't champions, the people they help are.

I had too high of hopes with Origin. I was really hoping they'd focus on Sahjahn because I dug the shit out of that storyline in S3, but he didn't play a very big role in it. Cyrus Vail, however, was good stuff; as was Illyria and Wes in the end there. And Jesus Christ Anyanka, the best part of that convo wasn't the antelope but: TARA: I go online sometimes, but ... everyone's spelling is really bad, and it's ... depressing I'd sig that if I didn't have a better one already

Rileys break-up with Buffy was VERY important because it, along with her mother dying, influenced how she looked at Dawn and love in her life. "I was made to love you" focused on that very notion, as it displayed some of variations love can have: obsessive, platonic, relationship, familial, pathetic... it had it in all degrees, as well as mapping out the various stages romantic love has. Buffys mom going out on a first date, Buffy and Ben, Buffy and Xander dancing together, Xander and Anya and how they have an understanding, Taras reaction to Willow checking out April and how they don't have that understanding, April and Warren, Warren and his Girlfriend, Spike and Buffy, and -of course- Buffy/Dawn/Joyce and Buffy and Joyce in particular.

YOU LEAVE MY BABY OUT OF THIS!

http://gloryisagod.com/5-15-93iwasmadetoloveyou.txt Read the script, you'll find a new appreciation for the episode. Ditto with Buffy vs. Drac - I didn't think it was that great until I read it.

I was made to love you ends with Buffy saying "Mom? Mom? ... Mommy?" which is heart breaking. And how can you beat this convo?? TARA: Willow's good at all that computer stuff, but me not so much. Do you really understand all that? ANYA: Oh. Well, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like, "whoa, I'm eleven hundred years old. I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans." TARA: I go online sometimes, but ... everyone's spelling is really bad, and it's ... depressing. ANYA: But you have to try online trading, it's great! The secret is avoiding the tech companies everyone was jumping on, and, and going with the smaller firms that supply the basic components. TARA: Uh-huh. ANYA: Anyway, I took the money from working for Giles, and I tripled it. TARA: Tripled? Like, first money, then money money money? ANYA: Yes. I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope

You talkin bout Angel or Buffy??? I'm so... CONFUSED. If you're talking about Angel Season 4 vs. Angel Season 5, it's tough. Both have their pros and cons and they each have some killer *peak* episodes. I don't look at Angel Season 4 so-much-as a season, but rather, as the end of the Connor Saga, which went from Angel fucking Darla to Angel killing his son. I won't be like MOLE and make a bunch of lists, but I'll touch on some things. Thematically, as-of-right-now, I think Season 4 edges out Season 5. While I like the "power corrupts" / "moral balance" theme that this season has thus far, I think the "Free Will" theme was more effective last year. The notion that Jasmine *did* bring the world happiness and Angel ended that because there wasn't a choice is a really 'mature' theme and I think is the most sophisticated one in the Buffyverse. In terms of Big Bads, Season 4 had THE BEAST but it also had EVIL Cordy. But then, it also had Jasmine.... but it DID have ANNOYING Connor... Some real highs and some real lows there. As much as I love THE BEAST, I think the flip-flopping around of villians hurt the show in this regard. Season 5 Angel hasn't really had a centre-piece villian; it just revolved around the Senior Partners - Lindsay was fun and a great shocker, Hamilton rules hard, Eve was nice, but nothing is really sticking out BEAST wise.... the final episode may swing this in Angels favour, but as of right now, it's a DRAW. In terms of Character development. Season 4: Big negatives for Cordys character, but big pluses for Wes'. Gunn and Freds relationship broke down and Gunn got kinda boring as did Fred, Lorne stayed green, Angel went into Angelus, and Lilah stepped it up nicely, Connor was annoying... Season 5 Angel, IMO, had better character development especially in terms of GUNN, who really is the show stealer, Harmony is a ton of fun, Angel and Spike rule it together (and seperately), Wes has been hitting a ton of different notes, and Fred/Illyria has been a fucking gem. Big points in this regard for Season 5. In terms of "arc", Angel Season 4 wins because it was really continuous and didn't really take a break from the story they were developing, even if it did confuse you. Season 5 has had the continuity, but its been disjointed and more focused on singular episodes - though there has been a thread connecting them all. In retrospect - when it is all said and done - Season 5 Angel may seem alot like Season 5 Buffy in this area, and I looooooove S5Buffy. Finally, in terms of episode quality: "Hole in the World" was one of the best Angel episodes ever, and from the looks of it, "Not Fade Away" may top it. "Destiny" was also high quality. "Smile Time", "Harms Way" and "Life of the Party" were so much fun, the Season Premiere was great IMO, "Shells" was fanfuckingtastic, "The Girl In Question" was hilarious, "Power Play" "You're Welcome" "Time Bomb" "Underneath" "Origin" ... jesus chris, this had a TON of really good episodes. Even the "bad" episodes weren't "bad", just "lesser". I have to watch Angel Season 4 to fully grasp the quality of the episodes, "Apocalypse Nowish", "Habeas Corpses".. basically all THE BEAST-centric episodes rule hard, then they get into Angelus territory which would be fine in any other season but they had to have him kill the fucking BEAST.... calm down rudo... calmitdown... the Jasmine episodes I really enjoyed. Besides, it's Gina FN Torres motherfucker! The Season finale was fucking dope and is probably one of my favourites (so is Habeas Corpses and Apocalypse Nowish)... right now, I am thinking about giving it to Angel Season 5, but I haven't made my decision

Wait... You complained about Mole making a comparison between pop and rap, yet you just made one comparing music and wrestling??? Before you even reply, the WWE has 12 PPV's a year not-to-mention they give a very similar product for free on TV. But then, if you insist on using this comparison, compare Judgement Day's PPV numbers to TNA's. Fact is, constant national television exposure especially in this mode does many things: 1. Familiarizes the audience with the performers. A bond can be created; matching the face, the name, and the sound is very important. 2. Promotes the album - "This is what you've all been waiting for - this is what they've worked so hard for - check it out" 3. It can develop an emotional connection to the album or the song in seeing how it was created. Meanwhile, any other "debuting artist" "off tv" wouldn't have this advantage. Yet CHINGY was able to out sell them. WTF?! And WOW, those 11-16 year old girls really must love their fiddy and their m... c'mon, "da band" simply couldn't capitalize on the (abundant) resources they had to produce good enough sales. They were a "new artist" but they had WAY more opportunities that "new artists" get.
