Yeah, that was definitely the moment. Fucking amazing.

There was a point in this episode where I came to a full realization that this is my all time favourite show. Guess which point?

Especially after he got crippled. Plus, you know, triangle defense is found nowhere in the rules of acquisition.

I think it was in reference to "monochrome". What you meant to say was "modicum".

Hey, Keifer was Sonny Gilstrap, you remember that next time you doubt his pre-24 badassness. Ain't that right, Sonny... "It's your call, stubby"

In retrospect, the preview of this show from last week - about Team Pulver having a weak link - was about 1 minute out of a 44 minute episode.

If they do fight, Gabe will wreck Corey. They basically say Corey just started fighting beforehand, knew little, and only has had a little time (maybe 3 weeks total) under Team Pulver.

Completely ineffective. He wasn't in form, not firm at all in the strategy laid out. Flaccid, even. His only success was in making huge mistakes. Boners, even.

Ironically, Wang sucks. BJ laughing at Wang crying and then bitching at him is classic. He knew that Matt Hughes was in the area and felt like he had to be a bigger dick. DESOUZA!! OH SHIT GABE vs. COREY. They rarely ever announce fights ahead of time.

Looks like Wang is having a problem penetrating.

Wang is balls.

AAAAAH! Wang broke my Cliche-meter, I HAD JUST BOUGHT IT!

3 out of 5 ain't bad. Hughes must've been so happy that he beat BJ so he can now talk trash on him again. Brandon is the mexican T-bag. This is the first time I've heard a lot of these guys talk. "I love it, Wang" God BJ, do you have to feed into it?

Marlon Sims talking in the first person. Gabe is tremendous.

Cause Fox greenlights projects that require big budgets on the premise that big budget = big ratings. When they don't get the big ratings, then they pull out quickly. That said, DRIVE could have been made for a lot cheaper. A lot of the scenes are in freakin cars for cry out loud, how much could that really cost?

STARNES FACES LEBEN AT UFC 71 BC Fighter Training With Nogueira and American Top Team in Preparation for May 26 Event By Mike Russell Canadian Kalib Starnes (7-1-1) will face fellow “The Ultimate Fighter” alumnus Chris “The Crippler” Leben (16-3-0) at UFC 71 “Liddell vs. Jackson” May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. TUF 3 vet Starnes, 31, confirmed the middleweight match-up from American Top Team’s Coconut Creek, Florida training facility where he is preparing for his upcoming fight, indicating that the contracts have been signed and he is raring to go. “Leben’s a good striker,” said Starnes of his Oregon-based fighter’s unconventional style. “Obviously, working with Team Quest he’s a really decent grappler and his submission skills are getting better all the time,” said Starnes. “His stand-up is really unorthodox and unpredictable. I’ve been working my kickboxing two hours every day since my loss to Yushin Okami and I’m now to the point where I can hang with anyone sparring.” A member of highly regarded Canadian Revolution Fight Team, which recently added journeyman Brazilian fighter Jose “Pele” Landi-Jons to its roster, the Surrey, British Columbia native felt that moving his camp to Florida would pay off in Octagon dividends come May. “The guys here at American Top team are great,” said Starnes. “This is the best camp I’ve ever had preparing for a fight. I’m working with [bJJ coach] Ricardo Liborio, [boxing coach] Howard Davis and sparring with guys like Marcus Aurelio, Wilson Gouveia, Thiago Alves, Denis Kang and Minotauro [Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira]. I get up and come here and spar with Minotauro. It doesn’t get much better than that. Our gym [Revolution Fight Team] is great but I’m the top fighter there and you don’t get better unless you train with better fighters so this has been great for me. Pele just joined our team which has been excellent but I knew coming here would really help my game.” Although some fighters might consider a seven-month layoff from fighting to be a detriment to their training, Starnes’ body told him that it would need to repair before allowing him back into the Octagon – he suffered a broken nose in his Oct. 2006 UFC 64 fight with Okami and harbored another serious injury coming into the match that hindered his training. Part of his absence was ordered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission as a result of his loss. “Even though I wasn’t unconscious they ruled it a TKO and I was put on a mandatory three-month medical suspension. I was fighting with another injury that didn’t allow me to train 100% so the time off allowed me to heal up,” Starnes explains “I’m not making any excuses for the loss, I’m just glad to be training 100% healthy this time. It makes a real difference.” Leben is coming off a submission loss to Canadian Jason MacDonald at Dec. 30’s UFC 66. Starnes defeated Alberta’s MacDonald in a 2005 bout by first round TKO. -Fightnetwork.

I enjoyed that fight. Not too much action, admittedly, but I like Machida and his performance was solid. Some killer kicks to the body, the knee strike combo was dope, and he fucking tooled Heath on the ground at the end there. Heath is no joke, either, so it was a good win for Lyoto. Goldbergs commentary was hilarious, also. He was trying so hard to be impressed by Lyoto, "look at those board shorts, Joe, SPRAWL camo, that's the mark of a true fighter"

Well wonderful, now I'll never find out if Amy Acker is dead or alive. Nathan Fillion needs to stay away from FOX, it's just not working out for him. I mean the guy is great, but series he is on just are never long for this world on FOX. Edited Tim Minear, also.

OMG SIMON STEALS FROM RICKY GERVAIS!!! (oops, wrong thread )

I could see Hiro transporting a ready-to-go-nuclear Sylar to the future and leave him there to 'splode.

I still don't think they are going to blow up New York. The whole point of the season was to prevent its destruction.

I am still not convinced that Peter is the bomb. Peter had a whacky dream, isn't that all they are basing it on?

Because you can't leave things for fate to handle. The painting Isaac drew of Claires death, for example. The paintings don't tell truth, they simply show a moment in time. What is true one moment, may not be true the next.

The writers have claimed that each season will have its own distinct storyline that also gets completely resolved in their respective finales so I'm expecting something completely different from Season 1's story. Part of me wants to see a more 24-esque division of seasons, where there is time between seasons and we have to play a bit of catch-up. The other part of me doesn't want them to mess up the good thing they have going and totally halt it. But then again, I don't want everything to go along at LOST pace where they become Xmen in Season 3 after Season 2 just fucks around. Obviously, Sylar is going to be the main bad guy who gets it this season, and I imagine Linderman squeaks out for some of Season 2 (though it is hard for me to see McDowell stay on for an extended run) to at the very least be involved with the introduction of the season 2 threat.
