That was a bit of a confusing episode that I'm probably going to watch again before I make my mind up about it. But I'm a sucker for the ending. It reminds me of "...And Found" which was kind of boring but ended with Jin/Sun on the beach after the flashback to how they first met. I also loved that episode mostly just for the ending. This one wasn't boring, at all, but more like the sappy ending made me enjoy it. Faraday is a cool character. It looks like next week is when the heavy shit starts to go down.

This has been all over ESPN all day. The only fighter mentioned was of course Kimbo.

Jay Mariotti called MMA being picked up by CBS the downfall of deceny in society, a moral outrage and said why not just put grand theft auto on TV on Saturday nights? Overreact much?

That's a good point and is probably the case, but what this TV deal does is send a lot more available free agents to EliteXC then it would have before. Kimbo vs. Shamrock can headline the first card and that would be fine. I honestly believe that would do a pretty good rating if they hyped it correctly. By the 3rd or 4th card you could be looking at a Tito Ortiz vs. Frank Shamrock main event that would also pop a big rating. By then it's a 6-8 months from now and alot about the MMA landscape could be different. As Rudo said, this also humbles Dana and could force him into being an actual business man again instead of a bully. It could also land UFC on TV within a few months. It's great news.

No joke. About 10 years ago my friends and I used to mess around in the back yard and film ourselves wrestling and I played the evil, sleazy promoter... Johnny Bagadonuts.

All over MMAJunkie and Five Ounces of Pain right now. Official announcement tomorrow. Live MMA on network broadcast TV and it's NOT the UFC! Dana must be flipping the fuck out now. I'll bet the farm that they sign Tito now.

This is what I hoped would happen. My god, I'm so glad to see Lindelof say that.

I absolutely hate that Cisco commercial with the relief worker talking to his family/girlfriend through the Cisco networking screen. You know the one. "That's a very mom thing to say." Is it possible for that guy to look like anymore of a d-bag who isn't even remotely interested in talking to his family? I want to slam him through a wall and I highly doubt that was the intended effect of the commercial.

Everything in the ocean would die, for one.

"Black Satin" on the new Raveonettes album is a good track.

That used to be a TRITEC avatar. He (she?) had a bunch of cool ones like that.

Too many cell phone penis pictures!

Was it ever made completely clear if Bug's father did in fact sexually molest Michael? I mean, Chris hinted at it but I took that to mean he just could have gotten the wrong impression from Michael. But then when Bunk had Michael he said something to him along the lines of "I understand you're not upset...what he did." I'm not sure where that leaves it in reality. I've said it before in this thread, but Avon NEEDS to show up again. I have the perfect scenario. He can't go out with that lame ass west-side he threw Marlo early this season. As for the finale - I'm hoping it's closer to 90 minutes than 60. Has that been posted anywhere yet? I know some of the finales have run a bit longer. I also hope it wraps some things up but I'm in no way hoping for a Six Feet Under type ending where you see what happens to everyone and how they die. Of course it will end with a music montage, which I always enjoy.

Well - it's looking like Mike Swick vs. Marcus Davis at UFC 85. Now, that's an interesting fight. For one - Davis gets a "name" opponent to test his winning streak against. Swick can't pull off another performance here like he did against Burkman.

No - I agree. Creep city. I got that impression myself, very strongly. As for the script and what EricMM said... real people often don't talk that way, unless they are trying to be pretentious and indier than thou, which I'm not sure was so much Juno the character as the script itself. It got annoying after awhile when Juno would only talk in very well articulated references even when she was reacting/thinking quickly. If you didn't notice the first time - you would watching it again. I don't find it smart at all to have a script like that on the basis of it being verbose alone. Now - I've already said I liked this movie a few times, so obviously I didn't hate it. But it did get on my nerves a few times watching the movie as to how unnatural some of the dialogue was.

Well - they can slot in Okami if he gets past Tanner. And if not they can always just give a title match to Tanner. Hopefully someone else emerges in the time it takes for that to happen.

Jimmy Kimmel's response to "I'm fucking Matt Damon":

As for Matt Young's point about Nadia being on the jury - I didn't catch it myself. I also think it's not the case because lostpedia would have been all over that but her page there remains without an update.

Happened to me too. I'm glad I didn't read anything important.

From this: To this:

Oh my god, I just now realized that Amy Ryan is Beadie Russell. I was like why the fuck is Beadie Russell in the audience?

Did you see how ugly she looked in the clip? My god - she's beautiful.
