Lord of The Curry

Looks like it won't be long. US Magazine is reporting..... "Actor Patrick Swayze has cancelled filming on his new show and has boarded a private jet with his wife and mother to go to a ranch in New Mexico. It is expected he is going there so spend his last days. Swayze ended his chemotherapy at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles late last week as a friend of his told US Magazine that the doctors said he wasn't responding anymore and basically there was nothing more they could do other than have him prepare to be as comfortable as possible for the next few weeks." This sucks.

Whomever is pulling the strings has come clout with the feds?

But Ben is a huge liar. He also told Locke that he was supposed to stay behind and lead The Others and that it was Ben's job to move the island.

If I wasn't broke I likely would've bought tickets due to being able to see Anderson live but nowhere near the amount of coin I dropped on GSP/Serra. The undercard is pretty nice, though. Loiseau/Herman, Stout/Wiman and TJ Motherfucking Grant/Chonan should all be good fights. But yeah, horrible main card. I'm kinda happy, though as the next few months are going to save me some money on my cable bill as 96 and 97 are both going to be bar events for me.

I don't buy it. UFC won't give that away for free and overseas PPV do below-average buyrates.

I dunno about some feeds in the States but often times we get cut off up in Canada immediately after the show ends.

On Lostpedia they've got a half-glimpse of the logo that is on Jin's jumpsuit and it appears to be a five-pointed star, similar to a sheriff's badge. Either that or Jin has converted and become a Five-Percenter. Which, if true can only mean one thing: Supreme Allah from Oz is on the island.

Clearly BJ needs to get his ass handed to him again.

Jin Work-Man. Like Jin Soo-Kwon.

So a thought occurred to me: If Ben did, in fact kill Penny then I can see that being the catalyst for Widmore finding his way back to the island with Desmond's help. Des would want to go back to get revenge on Ben and I doubt he'd want to go through Mrs. Hawking for help. Clearly Widmore possesses similar technology to that which we saw in The Lamppost, explains how he located the island at the end of season three.

You need to sign in to see. What's the video say?

After Mik's gaffe (unintentional as it may be) I think we all can now agree that for those of us who see previews for upcoming episodes that information is to be spoiler-tagged.

I'll be PVR'ing it as one of the roommates has a birthday falling on that day so I'm out testing my liver. Should be good stuff. Interesting to see if Daley can continue his streak of beating B+ fighters. McKee vs Noble should be fun.

The more I think on it the more it occurs to me how lazy the writing was in this. Whether they have an end-game (and I sure as fuck hope they do) remains to be seen but for me, the two things in this episode that demanded some serious attention to detail were written off without another thought. 1) How they find the island. "Oh, well this is a pocket of energy and it tells us where they are." 2) How they get back. "Oh shit, another flash of light." I'd be willing to bet that Three Kings (Arab dude sitting in Business Class) is a Widmore agent who's there to spy on them.

I can accept that. I'm sure this episode will age well but I found myself too distracted by the numerous amounts of questions to truly get into it. Plus the scene with Jack and his grandfather (who looked like he could be around Christians age) felt horribly tacked-on. Plus now that scene will get all the fanatics out there saying "OMG JACK'S GRANDFATHER IS WITH DHARMA" or something retarded like that.

Color me unimpressed. I understand that this was a bridge episode and I'm sure once all the questions get answered it'll look a lot better but this episode had far too many questions and absolutely zero resolve.

Who the fuck is Oliver Copp and why should we believe him?

Yeah, he'll need another fight. Anderson's got Leites and the winner of Hendo/Bisping and IF you believe Dana, Okami all on his plate in 2009 and I see no reason why if GSP beats Alves they wouldn't do that on Super Bowl weekend 2010 so Demian could be waiting a while.

So what are the odds that if Joe loses he'll be cut? UFC rarely cuts TUF stars, much less winners but if he drops one to Diego that will be three out of Joe's last four fights. They have cut top contenders after much less (Werdum comes to mind) but Joe is a bigger name. Suffice to say if he loses this weekend he's out of the title picture forever and if UFC decides to keep him around they're risking him beating guys they want to groom for a title shot. If he's kept around he'll be sitting on prelims for a fight or two, minimum.

No, that would be "Ain't no bitch".

I love how nobody has said word one about Handy vs Mirko.

I never cared for foot stomps anyways. Apologies to Marco Ruas.

I agree and I don't. Riggs is a big 170 with enough strength that he has a chance of keeping the fight standing and the Paul Daley fight exposed a pretty big weakness in Shields game in that he has pretty much zero striking ability and doesn't respond well to punches coming at him. Having said that, Riggs was thoroughly outgrappled by Luke Stewart and if he can do it there's no reason to think that Shields won't run a train on him if the fight hits the mat.

*Bump* Episode tonight is called "316" but for those of us who've followed this thread closer then others we know that

UFC 99- June 13th, Germany Caol Uno vs Spencer Fisher Mirko Cro-Cop vs Randy Couture Croatian website is reporting this is in the works, it mentions that Kim Couture opened her mouth about it and that's how the rumor leaked.
