I have to give it a HOLY FRACK as well. I feel like I just watched part of TV history. It's like they crammed about 2 full seasons of storyline into the last 40 minutes of that episode. Seriously, there was more plot in that 90 minutes of BSG than there was in the entire season of LOST so...

Ok, I don't know if this bothered anyone else, but I think this was the first race where they didn't actually circumnavigate the globe. It looks like they were pretty close to completing a 'great circle' type of route around the globe, but they didn't travel 'around the world' in the traditional...

Good season so far. After the first couple episodes, there seem to many more likeable teams this race. At first I was annoyed with team Romber because it seemed like a gimmick, but they've already just become another 'amazing race' team to me. I am already getting annoyed at the mother/son...

I wasn't paying close attention, but did they show that Kris and Jon chose water polo at the roadblock because Jon was experienced with it? I was busy and looking away, but it seems like they just kind of showed them saying "Oh yeah, water polo!" He also looked pretty comfortable in the water...

I really thought early on in the episode Kate was going to out her "crime" to Sawyer, especially after she saw his piece of paper... "Oh yeah, Sawyer, I've got a piece of paper too..." /shows him the mugshot/ "And I didn't just steal some money, I...(whisper)" /his eyes bug out...

I saw part of the edited-for-TV Blazing Saddles a couple nights ago ... the, um, sound effects in the campfire scene were replaced with horse sounds (whinnying and the like), but the dialog was kept the same. It was strange. However, the most creative editing I ever heard was in Die Hard 2...

I enjoyed the movie as a piece of summer entertainment, but it certainly wasn't life-changing. A couple of my observations: I haven't seen anyone mention this, but I took the Achilles/arrow through the tendon to be an explanation of the myth as a historical event, rather than through any...

I saw this at my local grocery store a while back in their "new products" section. NosebleedQR Ingredients: Hydrophilic Polymer, Potassium Salt Looks really high tech. I rememebr a small blurb about it in Scientific American or Popular Science a while back. Try it out and let us all...

I know I've seen a couple patent attorneys post here in the past, so I'm hoping some of you see this. My wife has just been accepted to law school with the intention of studying IP law. She's got a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering and a few years work experience in semiconductor...

Does anyone know how long new releases usually take to make it to the pre-viewed rack at blockbuster? Also, is there a standard day that they are put out? (i.e., Tuesday is new release day, Thursday is pre-viewed release days...or is it up to the store manager/eployee motivation) Thanks...

The most egregious example fo this in recent memory was Tomb Raider. I think they even said it more than once. There were huge problems with that movie, but the line completely pulled me out of it. Something like: "Lara, you and I, we're not like the others, we're TOMB RAIDERS!" (I imagine it...

Here's a crazy idea I had while reading this thread...I've read the suggestion before that when you go to the theater and pay to watch a movie, they give you the option to buy your own copy of the movie right there in the theater, or even just give it to you. Well, What if they sold, for very...

I've done a similar thing, only I bought the service plan from Circuit City after exchanging my first Apex portable DVD player after it stopped working. I know with electronics, the standard thought is: "If it's going to fail, it'll do so within the first 30 days." But if you're like me, you...

Went by Blockbuster after seeing the '$3 off used games deal' I picked up a 'previously rented' copy of NCAA football 2k3 for GC last night for $9.99-3=$6.99! It even had the manual in the case. Also picked up Eternal Darkness for $14.99-3=$11.99, also with original case and instruction...

One piece of general advice I can give is to use the play money to experiment with some things that you'd never do with your own money. You'll probably buy stocks with your own money someday and it wouldn't hurt to do a little with your funny money to keep from going "bankrupt" I can't give...

Rush'n Attack on the NES. After playing for hours, I could get past the second level, but never made it past the third. I even had one of those console joysticks with the turbo buttons; it didn't help.

I don't know about Tivo, but my ReplayTV works great with my Dish Network receiver. The Replay controls the sat receiver through one of those IR emitters and the channel guide is complete (including my locals). Although there is a decrease in quality due to the recompression by the replay, it...

During the opening scene of Air Force One, you can identify several parts on and around the Case Western Reserve University campus as the paratroopers are landing on the roof of Cleveland's Severance Hall (home of the Cleveland Symphony). It's kind of in the middle of campus, so I walked past it...

Also, note that the S-video cable for the N64 works on the Gamecube. As I was carrying my gamecube S-video cable up to pay for it, I noticed "Also works for N64!" on the box. I figured that the reverse was true for my unused N64 cable sitting at home so I put it back, went home, and tried it...

UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-B-A-B-A-(start)!!! Has there ever been another cheat code to equal this? Here's hoping they keep it in. :D
