    I think the one on the left was East German. His scores were usually lower.

    The Amazing Race season 14

    Regarding Tammy and Victor's perceived advantage in China, what is often overlooked is that the team had to MAKE it to the China legs first in order to have a chance to put their language skills and geographic familiarity to use. It wouldn't have done them any good if they got eliminated during...

    The Amazing Race season 14

    It's really only Jaime that has displayed ugliness for me. Cara has been quite reasonable and stable, especially considering her partner.

    Survivor: Tocantins

    It wouldn't be unprecedented (the possibility of the jury votes being equally split, that is). Didn't Fiji have a Final 3 with 9 jurors?

    Denon AVR 1907 front panel display not lit up

    Can your friend return it to the vendor and get a replacement?

    Denon AVR 1907 front panel display not lit up

    Did you try the dimmer button on both the remote and the AVR front panel? If not, it's worth a try to rule out a faulty button on either the remote or the AVR front panel. Otherwise, it may just be a bad front panel display. Another thing that might be worth looking into is the power voltage...

    Heroes - Season Three

    Move along...nothing to see. Quite an unsatisfying season, to say the least.

    Absolutely hilarious, Hanson! I wonder if Coach will try to play that idol that he took from the temple.

    24: Season Seven

    Wasn't Stokes the lead Starkman guy in the standoff at the end? I thought the whole thing with Greg shooting him in the back was faked as part of the decoy ploy to buy Hodges more time with the bioweapon.

    Loved it when Sawyer said, "Three years - no burning buses! Y'all are back for one day..."

    Heroes - Season Three

    Keep in mind that the show has done a Lost-esque "36 hours earlier"-type flashback this season. I'm wondering if we will see the interceding scenes in a later episode to find out exactly what happened between Sylar and the Hunter.

    24: Season Seven

    Oh, there is a high possibility that Jack may indeed die. Heck, he's done it at least once before! It's how he's going to be revived this time that intrigues me. Is it me or does it seem like the writers are making an extra effort to set up a clichéd situation where a character is going to...

    PS3 HDMI connection to Infocus X10 problems

    Have you eliminated the HDMI cable as the culprit? I'm not familiar with the Infocus but are you able to cycle through the various inputs - component, HDMI, etc.?

    Lost: Season 5

    Two things: 1) Isn't the nature of most TV series to keep going until people lose interest? 2) This show has a set conclusion date in 2010.

    seating, any help?

    Is having a cupholder important for you? I, too, looked far and wide for HT seating but ultimately settled on a reclining sofa and loveseat for my back and front rows, respectively. My HT is only 11' wide and having 3 HT seats across made things a bit crowded. The sofa is about 7.5' wide so...

    Not completely lost but looking for a map anyway

    You may want to try Monoprice.com. There may be also similar offerings found among the many sponsors of HT Forum. Good luck!

    Wasn't Sgt. William "Wild Bill" Guarnere aware of Ethan's plan, too?

    The Amazing Race season 14

    Speaking of without shirts, did the preview for this week not show the flight attendant running unblurred? I suppose I should have expected as much given that this is a prime time network show but I could have sworn the preview showed otherwise. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part. =)

    Looking for receiver suggestions to use as a pre pro for HD Audio from PS3

    Do I understand this correctly? I can pick up, say, the Emotiva and take advantage of uncompressed Dolby HD, etc. without having to give up my beloved Arcam? If so, that is good news for me! I'm not that up-to-date with HDMI and uncompressed audio, but I assume that the digital (non-HDMI) and...

    Fair enough and I do agree with you on your general observation. I would posit that it's not really the latest trend - it's human nature - I've seen it for as long as I've been reading online forums. Otherwise, we'd have nothing to talk about in the forums! (Besides talking about delectables...

    Umm, yeah, that's it. I commented on something that bugged me in that particular scenario, is all. No need to make it sound like I regularly nitpick. And the fact that I threw in a possible reason for Ted's response or lack thereof should have signaled that I wasn't trying to "complicate" things...

    Anyone else pick up during the Hiro/Papa Nakamura training session the potential significance of the childhood story? I wonder if “cutting out his heart” means Hiro is going to have to let Ando die to save the world. I seem to recall Future Peter saying something about Future Hiro losing his...

    So Wayne, where did you end up getting your Oppo from? Or is your safety still on?

    Home Theater Issues

    Wayne, if you haven't pulled the trigger yet and still want an Oppo, there are at least two Toronto-based dealers that sell them in their online store. solutionsav.ca and onlybestrated.com

    Question for history buffs...Re:History channels "Dark Ages"...

    Another reason is because the Roman Empire was so damned big. Its culture and influence were felt in a large part of the known world at that time. You also had the rise of Christianity whose reach was just as widespread, if not more. The Church single-handedly kept Latin from dying.

    It's certainly different than last week's episode, but good - packed with lots of plot development. Oh, and Nikki/Jessica fans will rejoice. ;)

    Yes, it looks like the local network affiliate here bumped it up to Sunday because the regular Heroes slot on Monday was pre-empted by a new series. I thought that the pre-emption was also in the U.S. but I guess the new series is a Canadian one. Sorry for the confusion. It's a damn good...
