    Our Moderator Robert Fowkes passed away last Friday, Sept 30, 2011

    I saw this today and struggled to put together words to describe my response. I rarely post lately but once upon a time, RAF and several others were some of the friends I respected most. Personal illness robbed me of a lot of that time, and I don't contribute nearly as often anymore. But I...

    Very impressed with Lost Winds. And I like the soundtrack.

    Top Ten Shows From Your Childhood?

    Born in 1974. Saturday Mornings.. come on, who didn't remember when, prior to the school year, every network would put on a show, on a Friday night, promoting their new saturday morning cartoon lineup? It was a BIG deal. Now, kids don't get that. I feel kind of sad for my own kids that way...

    The entire Amadeus motif through this episode had me rolling all the way.

    How I Met Your Mother Season 3

    I do dislike the Marshall quit, which kind of tinkers with the internal chronology which had insisted that career would do bad things to him for years... if he's not there but for months, hard to know how that would be. Completely borks the implied theme park disaster.

    What happened with Artie Lang?

    Robin appeared on "The View" and gave her interpretation; but SIRIUS execs are listed as "unnamed sources" in the NY rags today.

    Bones season 3 thread

    The lawyer was great, but I loved it when it was obvious Sweets was on the clearly losing end of an argument in front of others. :) But I also loved the aside of Bones getting the report in front of her: "we have the sex of the.." This show still has some of the best chemistry of...

    What happened with Artie Lang?

    Sorry, I was taking the 164 from something else (his own posted "ideal" weight). Don't pay that close of attenton. Still, 308, his current, is a mess. In interviews today, it's being implied strongly he will not be returning to the show.

    2008 MLB Thread

    We royals fans get to feel good this year; pitching has been fantastic, with Grienke turning into the pitcher everyone thought he'd be out of the minor leagues; though we'll see if mentally he holds it together for a season. We're not playoff contenders really, but it's good for the fans to...

    UK: Top Gear, for the fans..

    Let's face it, there is nothing better then watching Clarkson rip apart a vehicle "absolute rubbish" along with his signature "it's OK, but compared to this car.." whole different brand and model. That's what makes Top Gear. Serious reviews that compare actual product without a damn bit of...

    What happened with Artie Lang?

    Artie is currently over 300lbs, so he's almost doubled his weight since Beer League, where he was, by his account, 164. Ok, as someone who only occassionally listens to the show, but did catch this on the west coast feed, and this is a big potential problem. This is the second time that...

    I AM LEGEND BD/HD Details

    The alternate ending is infinitely better then the theatrical ending. JMHO, but having seen it, I will find it very weak sauce to see the original ending now.

    Smallville - Season 7 thread

    I quit. I got roped into this show based on some positive word of mouth, and I walked through the seasons quickly; even enjoyed some.. My problem early on was an evil twist: I found Lex far more likable and understandable then Clark. Now that Lex is firmly a "bad guy", it still hasn't done...

    Reaper season 1 thread

    I almost have a semi "are they going to try and develop a long Angel-esque Arch?" with Michael Ian Black pulling him into the room "here we can talk about the Devil without him knowing; and we can talk about our reasons why we work in opposition" What opposition? Kind of a potential "sea...

    What's the most unanswerable question you had as a kid? Pure silliness only!

    Our son is significantly autistic. On some days, he's a really great kid, other days not so much. But he's incredibly bright, ahead of his peers in math, science, and reading skills by grade levels.. but on the social front, he's way behind, and he has "issues" with language and the kinds of...

    Jericho Season 2 thread

    Yeah, I took it that way too.. that this was his effort to influence someone he believed was at least a decent man to see the truth. That he wanted this to be seen, in hopes it would change minds.. influencing Texas would help Texas.. but if he could break the ranks of the Cheyenne Military...

    What's the most unanswerable question you had as a kid? Pure silliness only!

    The question that left my younger syblings horrified: "Gargamel keeps catching the smurfs but they always escape before his pot warms up to through them in. Why doesn't he just flash fry one or two fast, and make the rest cold cuts?"

    NCAA basketball, tornadoes, and March Madness 2008

    No offense to their competition, but the road the Jayhawks have to take to the Final four is now like a walk in the park in comparison to other brackets, no offense meant.

    'John Adams' HBO Miniseries

    Yeah, I read the review and thought: did Giamani kick him down a flight of stairs somewhere? Because (being a history major) I thought he was damn near dead on casting; he may be a touch to "pretty" for how people of the time period really were, but he much more closely matches the way I...

    Fun episode. The entire bit with Sock and his mom and the way he took it out on the demon was really funny.

    American Idol - Season 7

    Since they are doing it next week, there will be plenty of early hits chosen, I'm sure, but I'd be a bit surprised if something like "Hey Jude" and "Yesterday" etc. didn't make an appearance, but I could be wrong. Still, since I love the Beatles, I would root for anything (though some numbers...

    American Idol - Season 7

    Since I haven't seen this yet (and don't watch idol but will watch this just to see) what did McPhee sing? Too bad the playbook wasn't more open; both Harrison and Ringo have some penned numbers that would be much easier to pelt and provide a new twist on, as something different...

    Jericho Season 2 thread

    He had just been fired and removed from his position at Ravenwood. They had proof of corruption. With him alive, even with the others dead, they could have made a compelling case and used him to show that he WAS corrupt and he had killed citizens intentionally; the whole killing of his men would...

    Jericho Season 2 thread

    This has been an incredible roller coaster ride these eps ;) And it keeps getting better. Great stuff tonight... the final shot was fantastic. As to the future... It's kind of apparent this could be the last of the show, which is OK, but it's almost like this show is entirely setup as a...
