Eh, I'm not a big fan of the Dracula episode. I've always prefered the Whedon vamps to the old-school ones. I was the same way. I didn't like the novelty of it, and in some ways I don't now. But if you actually read the script of the episode, and then watch it again when you put the novelty aside, it's fucking hilarious. As for Dawn, I liked her better in season seven. Season five Dawn wasn't as bad as some people make her out to be, but she wasn't exactly good either. I hated Dawn in Season 7. Her telling Buffy to get out of the house pissed me off. IMO, the top Dawn moment was her putting her shoes away in The Gift. Plus, Dawn made way for more SPIKE, which -in Season 5- was primo shit. Speaking of season five, I always wanted to know more about Hell-Gods. I want to know about Hell-Dimensions, period. I want to know about the Qwartah (SP? - the place Connor grew up in), and the other two (I believe) Hell Gods who kicked Glory out. Big fucking universe they created, which sucks that Angel has to end now w/o exploring it.

The Dracula episode is really underrated, and it set the themes for the entire season. Dawns peak was in season 5. *checks calendar* Yeah, I think it's time for another Season 5 love-fest We'll have to see how this season plays out and if the series finale is as good as The Gift. Hole in the World was moreso "Body" ****1/2-3/4 level, while the Gift - IMO - was *****. As things are shaping up and if the spoilers are any indication, we could have a new ***** episode, thus changing the whole fucking system. RRR: Sad _very sad_ that Firefly never saw a Season 5... of course, Firefly was its own Season 5

He fought Wallid Ishmail at PRIDE 19, which was a pretty good match that featured some nice reversals IIRC - called himself the "Brazilian Killer" sometime around then, then lost against Anderson Silva (high kick which caused a nice big cut around his eye). He came back and had a really good match against Akira Shoji and lost that, but I thought he won it, personally.

*snaps fingers* That's why RAW is so much better, NO AUSTIN.

The Senior Partners and Illyria thing is rocking my world, cause they still could have brought her back just so they could kill her - you know, Cyrus Vail style, where just being locked up doesn't mean you're gone. AAAAND Wes breaking the memory box cause he thought it would bring back Fred was a beautiful touch. This isn't some bullshit City of Angels thing where "at least I had her for one moment" type deal, this is "I don't know how I can live without her" torture and there is no easy solution... there may be no solution.

Oh god... oh god... that episode was fucking awesome. I loved every second of it. About a half hour in I checked the time because I was worried I wouldn't have enough. I read the spoilers, but it didn't come close to doing this show justice. 1. This episode had everything from everyone. Lorne got time, Wes got time, Gunn got time, Illyria got time, Angel got time, HAMILTON~! got time. A very, very satisfying episode. 2. Hamilton fucking OWNSES! Adam Baldwin is fucking loving this character and we love it too! "I still like him better than Eve". He plays it straight, and it couldn't be played better. 3. The opening was righteous as it started off (IIRC) the same way the last episode did, hinting at things to come. Illyria has more than made up for the loss of Fred IMO. Having the monster kill itself is classic Whedon (can I say that?). 4. Amy Acker is soooo fucking working this character and might overtake Gunn for the player of the year... cause Gunn isn't so much fuckable as he was good. "This one is lusting after me" The "this happened before" was a great throw-in cause they made sense of it with Wes talking about time and mechanics (which got thrown out the window ) when it really was Illyria defying all that. 5. CRAZY WES is not BADASS WES, but it's a step above PUSSY-ASS BRITISH WES & ROGUE DEMON HUNTER WES and around BROODING WES. 6. "We'll have the organic cola" *BIG POP*!! Them, in general, ruled when they said "3rd trimester~!" 7. Illyria killing the gang was motherfucking FUCKING WOMPASS! I never expected that. Just pure OWNAGE. It sucks that they had to zap her of some of her powers cause that's the main appeal of Illyria - she talks game and she plays game. Hopefully she'll still do that, cause whe she picked up Angel and slammed him against the wall, that was BADACE. "Well that's mature!" 8. 9. That was in reference to what they are doing. Don't miss the second last episode, I promise it will blow your fucking mind. 10. Have I mentioned how amazing this season is? Cause I'm thinking when its over, we're in Buffy Season 5 territory, and it might just be the new MEASURING STICK.

Do they win anything? Other than a cup? I like the idea, because then you can work matches on each show where superstars have to fight to represent smackdown and raw, and you can work angles from that.

I'll bite.. what? You aren't familiar with my "Funaki: Time Travelling Scientist from the future" storyline?! I incorporate it into virtually everything I do. Clearly, efforts must be doubled.

Don't mock me. ... Maybe they could do an evil twin angle with Orton where _his_ evil twin is just a nice guy named Andy. They build up to it, with Randy leaving the room and Andy coming in and talking with Evolution. Flairs reaction to this would be the key seller. Then, when Randy and Andy finally meet, they just say "hi" and Andy somehow mysteriously dies. Orton doesn't really think much of it, but the rest of Evolution is freaked out at the possibility of more Randytwins. Then, in following weeks, we get Dandy, Tandy, Landy, Handy, and of course, Candy & Mandy - the female twins of Randy.

No you don't. You don't want time travelling scientists looking to stop the end of civilization in the WWE. And Foley/Orton has been the best fucking storyline of the year. Jesus Christ, nothing can touch it in terms of continuity and promo.

Cracking Up's premiere was great. Did FOX cancel that show yet? Buffys premiere was really good too, cept for the vamps... bad morphing, bad make up, just bad. The core performances were good.

And you can have Randy cut a promo saying he lost his spit, and that he's going to go away for a while to find it.

I think they should do an angle where he gets a dry mouth and contemplates retirement because he can't produce enough saliva to spit in peoples faces anymore. In a last-ditch effort, they set up a telethon to help others with this debilitating affliction, where Orton believes if he saves enough people, he might just save himself. "With your donation, you can help kids like lil Timmy from St. Louis spit again." "Thanks Randy" "No, thank you lil Timmy" *Timmy, on crutches, turns around to leave* *Orton gets this look in his eye* *Orton RKO's lil Timmy*

What could Christian do against THIS? At best, Tomko would trip and fall and cause Ralphus to wave his finger.. AT BEST.

Jericho should bring back Ralphus as his "heavy". ... Just sayin.

A Star Trek Academy/Starfleet show should have been the natural course of action after Voyager - you already have Chief O'brien there, Barclay, and then you throw in some new faces to mesh with the old. Enterprise didn't have that. TNG ended with Bones and Data, Ds9 had Picard and Sisko (and O-fn-brien, Worf later on), and Voyager had Qwark and Harry - fun lil continuity pieces like that which shows you its all the same universe. Enterprise had dicknothing from what I could tell. I would have figured a Q flick for the tenth installment of the series - but why do that when you can have another one of Datas whacky adventures??

No one can see the Ghostwriter connection? Geez, I thought this place was hip.

Wait... Conventions cost money?!?!

People who go to conventions, that's cool. I don't, but that's me. I'd think about going to a Buffy one, and I'd definitely go to a Firefly one, but that's it. People who take that fandom OUT of the conventions, not cool. Like there are Trekkies who actually dress up in uniform and go to work. That's disturbing.

How come every thread Jhawk makes ends up with me standing in the fucking corner?

Did I really spell "match" "matfch"?

The Commentary for Eps. 2 is the surest sign that Lucas has lost his mind. "And then in the editing process, I decided to make Anakin black, so I took a computer and..." The man is obsessed with digitally changing shit.

Where did I say "KO'd" in any of my posts? I said "owned".

You overrated the tag match. *reads article* DAMN! I had that all nice and prepared and then you go giving it a **1/2 (and the HHH/Tajiri matfch *1/2). *mumbles to self* *kicks dirt*
