Lord of The Curry

I say NYC blows up and the second season is all about the world and the heroes dealing with the consequences of their actions. Remember, we're being led to believe that the junky paints things that are going to happen. Hiro is, of course, the key to stopping all of this.

He lost to Jason Miller. I'd say his "top fighter" status died off a while ago.

The acting is going to need some work at this point if they want the story to come across strong. They've done a solid job so far of nailing down the plot points in terms of characters and their connections but Larter still comes across as a hokey and the relationship with the brothers felt kinda awkward tonight even though the flying moment was cool. Hiro's little journey to visit the studio was awesome. It's a gimme that the serial killer that the cop is about will be a big part of whatever goes down in NYC. Should be fun to see where this goes.

It was my first ever MMA event so of course I'm biased/unknowledgable but I thoroughly enjoyed the event. Meeting GSP set it off on a fairly high note. Out of 11 fights only two went to decison (Hominicks fight and Todd Gouwenberg vs Martin Desillets which was a sloppy but grimy throwdown) and we got a good mix of subs, ko's and tkos. Watching Stout armbar somebody was surreal as fuck. Like I said, Paltry better negotiate his ass off to get Hioki back in Montreal for February. If that's the case then you best make it up to Canada (a lot to ask, I know) for the show.

Jim is definetly not over Pam. But still stupid. I can actually see Jim rejecting Pam if she goes for him as somewhat of a security-blanket kinda thing just to draw the relationship out more. Pam getting rejected would be an interesting swerve and a storyline where Pam is placed in Jim storyline would interest me. Either that or Pam catches Jim with a girl and gets all shocked and such. For them to just hook up if/when Jim returns would be silly.

Well, I should've elaborated that I was there live to see it happen. And I met GSP. And Hominick (I sent him your luv, Lei). Next TKO show is in February and hopefully they can get Hioki for it.

GSP confirmed at the TKO show on Saturday that he'll be facing Hughes for the title @ 65 in Sacremento.

I really enjoyed the episode for reasons already listed but I didn't care for Jim telling Michael the reason he transferred was Pam then forgetting that Michael can't keep a secret and imploring him not to tell her. Sloppy writing unless it's revealed somehow that it was all a part of Jims plan to have Pam "accidentally" find out because of Michael.

Except for the Bushdio shows which are a 10-5.

Yeah, I put a question mark next to BJ under the WW division because nobody (including BJ, probably) knows what he's going to do next. Everything from moving up to MW to cutting down to LW to coaching on TUF V has come up in the Penn rumour mill.

We have five title fights scheduled to go down before NYE so on January 1st 2007 where do you see the UFC at? Who will be around? Who should they get rid of? Who should be built up? I'll post a roster of each division with about 10 or so guys beneath the champ so people can rank a top five as I'd be interested to see where certain fighters stand. I'm also wondering on who people see the then-champs defending their title against. LW Division: Current Champ- Unknown, to be decided by winner of Sherk/Florian at UFC 64. Roster includes: Jens Pulver, Joe Lauzon, Joe Stevenson, Spencer Fisher, Mark Hominick, Melvin Guillard, Hermes Franca, Sam Stout, Tyson Griffin. WW Division: Current Champ- Matt Hughes. Roster includes: Georges St. Pierre, Diego Sanchez, Karo Parysian, Jon Fitch, Josh Koscheck, Joe Riggs, BJ Penn (?), Josh Burkman, Nick Diaz, Josh Neer. MW Division: Current Champ- Rich Franklin. Roster includes: Anderson Silva, Nathan Marquadt, Mike Swick, David Loiseau, Dave Terrell, Chris Leben, Kendall Grove, Ed Herman, Dean Lister. LHW Division: Current Champ- Chuck Liddell. Roster includes: Tito Ortiz, Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Jason Lambert, Keith Jardine, Matt Hamill, Renato Sobral, Stephan Bonnar, Michael Bisping. HW Division: Current Champ- Tim Sylvia. Roster includes: Jeff Monson, Andrei Arlovski, Brandon Vera, Frank Mir, Chieck Kongo, Assureio Silva, Dan Christonson, Marcio Cruz, Gabriel Gonzaga. Upcoming Title Fights UFC 64: Rich Franklin vs Anderson Silva, MW Title. Kenny Florian vs Sean Sherk, Vacant LW Title. UFC 65: Tim Sylvia vs Jeff Monson, HW Title. UFC 66: Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz, LHW Title. St. Pierre vs Hughes will be happening before the year is out but it's unclear right now as to where/when. Most rumours are putting it as the co-main on the NYE show behind Tito/Chuck but I could see them bumping it to UFC 65 in November as Sylvia/Monson will not sell PPV's or tickets on its own. Discuss!~

I think they'll probably keep the Stamford office containted to Ed Helms and the chick that impersonates Jim well. I won't say why but if you read Downhomes spoilers on the previous page regarding the British version it makes sense why they wouldn't build up the entire office.

i concur. i'm not saying its what i believe, but thats what i've read. i'd have given it to wolf parade anyway. they're ace. I'd have given it to Wolf Parade as well. 2007 should be a decent enough year, new Apostle of Hustle, Feist and Stars. I've heard Wofl Parade might get one out but Spencer is terribly busy with his I think 3 or 4 other bands.

"So now I'm just a guy in a wig?" Nate rules. And the DL/Whitford stuff was awesome.

Clearly using a scale to balance Leena and a duck is the only way to go here.

Holy fuck. This is the internet we're talking about, right? "Uneasy." Rich as all hell.

Ditto. I heard "The Bleeding Heart Show" on the iPod tonight and realized how much more I like NP's songs when they're not being played through on an album. Pallett is very much a part of the Toronto "indy scene" so I'm not sure what banky means.

Rashad's boxing is also way better then Tito's. Fast hands and good accuracy.

I was going to make a comment about Forrest stuffing 90% of Tito's takedowns until I remembered that Tito was injured for that fight. Now that I've said that I'm interested in seeing Tito/Rashad.

Angle turns heel and sides with Russo. Calling it.

This might only apply to myself and banky in terms of people who care but Owen Pallett beating out New Pornographers, BSS and Wolf Parade for the Polaris Music Prize is pretty big.

Fun pilot, this show definetly has potential but it also could collapse under the weight of what appears to be a seriously complicated plot. The Good - Hiro is the man. Instead of questioning things like others do he embraces his gifts and realizes he's been chosen. I can see him being the truest hero of them all due to his powers. - Pete's storyline was done well enough and he plays his character with an odd charm. The brother saving him was an "Oh shit!" moment. - Cheerleader. Mmmmmmm. Mangled hand. Eugh. Evil dad? Oh my. The Bad - Ali Larter sucks the.......well.......everything out of this show. Which blows because I get the feeling that her and Hiro are going to be the most important characters on the show. I can see her powers being a Dark Pheonix/Jekyll and Hyde type of thing. - The "loser best friend" thingy with the cheerleader has to go. - I hope that this show actually introduces people who chose to use their powers for evil rather then then typical "Evil Corporation/Government" storyline they appear to be going for.

"Back in the 60's I made love to many, many women, often outdoors in the rain and mud. And if a man happened to, you know, slip in there......there'd be no way of knowing." - Creed, stealing the show

It was a concept season, Dana and Co. knew they'd be taking a gamble signing these guys, I don't think they'll be too pissed off. Plus, the Ultimate Fight Night finales have a rep for putting on awesome fights (Bonnar/Griffin, Sanchez/Diaz, Herman/Grove) so people are going to tune in regardless. There are some guys that whether or not they win will get a second shot (Cote, Sell) and guys that don't even belong in their current weight classes (Serra, Thomas) but I think in 6 months when the champs have beat whoever wins this show it'll all be forgotten.
