    Star Trek: Enterprise 10/15/'03: "exile"

    Rex, you crack me up! Although you gave an excellent dissertation on linquistic origins and Hollywood liberties, I think you might be overanalyzing this subject a tad. If you're going to analyze every unrealistic event on Star Trek, well... let's just say that we might be here for a while...

    Star Trek: Enterprise 10/15/'03: "exile"

    Did anyone else get a flashback from TOS? I kept expecting Hoshi to smash the orb and have everything disappear with just a strange sounding bug creature dying in the dirt. ;) And as long as we're pointing out technical faux pas, did anyone else have a problem with Trip and the captain just...

    CSI: Miami 10/6/03

    Good show, but Caruso's smugness is still getting to me. I thought it would tone down, but it's actually getting worse. I can actually see a "Hi Bob!" style drinking game here somewhere. Hmm... one drink whenever he puts his hands on his hips. One when he stares into the sky out of a window...

    Look Mom, I got a job!

    You're right, Chris. I should have put the subject in quotes. I'm not sure how I would feel about getting such a tiny role. I think the average person of the street would be thrilled to get a bit part, which explains the number of applicants in "Reality TV". However, what about the serious...

    Look Mom, I got a job!

    Bit parts. You go to acting school, work at Denny's waiting for your agent to call, then find yourself in very small part. I'm not talking about being an extra, but the a very tiny yet significant part. How many of these people call up their parents and neighbors and brag about the part they...

    HBO's "Carnivale" (SPOILERS!)

    I thought the second show was on par with the first, however I liked the end of the first episode much better. The bear hat just didn't do it for me. Also, the second episode had a lot of predictable scenes in it. Most notibly, the young boy at Chin's and the car scene at the end. Sometimes...

    Last Comic Standing??

    I'm glad that Dat Phan won. I really didn't think any of the comics were that funny, but he was the only one out of the finalists that didn't behave like an A$$. Ralphie had some okay material in the tryouts, but his angry "gangsta" routine got stale fast. As far as Dat playing the race card...

    24: Season 2 - Hour 21 - 4/29/03

    I have to side with Jeffrey as well. While I'll be the first to suspend belief for the sake of entertainment, even I have my limits. And for all of the people out there who critique the critics, I have one question: Just how far does fiction have to go before you reach YOUR limit? If Jack Bauer...

    Weekly Roundup Special: Toys R Us preorder for Harry Potter 2: $12.99 total!!

    Harry Potter Question... I didn't get a chance to pick it up yet, but I was wondering if it is still on sale at Walmart or Target. The ads usually come out on Sunday, but the sale didn't begin until that Friday. Is it a 3 day sale or a 10 day sale?

    American Idol - Season 2

    I'm curious as to just how many people actually get a chance to go in front of the judges. If you run the numbers: 2 minutes per person in a 12 hour day will only allow 360 people to be heard by the judges. I imagine it's more like 100-200 people, so the pre-screeners have their work cut out for...

    Cowboy Bebop LE sets are IN STOCK at DeepDiscountDVD!!!

    Thanks, Chris. I appreciate your efforts in pointing me to a more definitive source to educate me on bootlegs. I am pretty surprised at the quality of the packaging and the DVDs that went into the bootleg, though. I am sure a lot of people bought these sets thinking they were legitimate copies...

    Cowboy Bebop LE sets are IN STOCK at DeepDiscountDVD!!!

    Jeez Rob, no need to get your panties in a bunch. I was just trying to help out people that were trying to get the set but are unable to because the set is no longer available. I did not condone the purchase of bootleg copies. As a matter of fact, the other HTF members really have NO WAY of...

    Honestly, it doesn't look like a bootleg. (Edited)

    Cowboy Bebop LE sets are IN STOCK at DeepDiscountDVD!!!

    If anyone is interested in receiving the complete set, but does not care about the Limited Edition version, you can get an alternate version off of ebay. I just received my copy from Hong Kong for $45. It only has 3 DVDs, but it contains all of the episodes (26). It took a week to get from HK to...

    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

    I really enjoyed the film as well, however I do have a problem with one change they made involving Arwen. I don't mind the fact that they gave her a larger role, but I thought it was kind of cheesy how they had her chant a spell in the river to create that huge wave instead of explaining how...

    funniest moments in TV history

    SNL: John Belushi's Killer Bee Antenna during the "Buzzing Off" skit. No idea why it was so funny, but it had me and my brother rolling on the ground at the time.

    *** Official "THE OTHERS" Discussion Thread

    ** Spoilers ** First, what did Nicole's character say when the older servent responded "That's what (the mute girl) said right before she stopped speaking."? Second, A nice jumpy moment that nobody has mentioned yet was when Nicole was checking the door to the piano room. :) Third, I rarely...

    Radio interference from my SVS sub.

    The cable was the first thing that I had suspected. I initially used a Radio Shack Gold series audio shielded cable. Then I exchanged it for a RG-59 coax cable, both with the same results. Another strange thing, though, is that the radio signal only comes through the center and surround...

    Radio interference from my SVS sub.

    I posted this question to the SVS tech support, but I figured I would solicit advice over here until I heard back from them. I'm picking up a radio station from my SVS 20-39PC. I'm not sure if it's because of the receiver, my electrical wiring or the SVS amp. A radio signal is played on all of...
