    I think Margot Kidder is nuts. Yes, Chris died, and yes, he was a major storyline in the show. What was supposed to happen? Did she expect the writers to just up and make him disappear from the storyline completely? In the show, she worked with him, it would have been her responsibility in the...

    Smallville Season 4 thread

    I did like this one as well. After reading on these threads, I agree, the med center scenes are EVERYWHERE :D I liked the Crosby finalization, nice little jab after the things that we've read over the net. Jason's playing Lex, this could get interesting. I cracked up when the girls were...

    Smallville Season 4 thread

    Now see, I can agree with that. As far as the over-all 4th season, it has been a bit of a drag. This episode shows what the writers are capable of, why they don't keep it at this level is just plain laziness.

    Um, everythings been done to death. As far as "every word that came out of Lex's mouth was laughable", I thought the "You were right Mr. Kent, I am the bad guy of this story" was one of the greatest lines of the series. The addition of the Kryptonite Ring from the comics was also superb. The...

    You have got to be kidding, that episode was fantastic. Felt like it put the season right back on track to where it should have been headin in the first place. Of course, now there will be some fluffy episodes as Patrick puts it.

    Incredibles killed my sub

    Coby, The intention of my original post saying my sub made it through ok was not a comparison statement, if it seemed that way then it was my fault and I apologize. I was simply stating that I watched it, and it ran ok with my setup. I mentioned my sub only as a blanket statement that "my sub...

    Incredibles killed my sub

    I hear ya Don, Don't get me wrong, I've heard a lot of positives on HSU and SVS, and perhaps I will check them out when I upgrade. But "bass module", give me a break. Velodyne is well regarded in many theater forums. However, there is a difference, now we're talking audible range stuff. 36...

    Incredibles killed my sub

    What, the sub isn't "good enough" cause it isn't hsu or svs? Good god people, you're starting to sound like the Bose supporters! Sure, the room may "shake" more, but in my environment, all that will do will piss off my neighbor on the shared wall(and vibrate the room more which will create...

    energy take 5 or athena micra 6

    Ricky, My parents have the Take 5.2 at home, a very good setup with the 10.1 subwoofer (older woofer, the 10.3 is unbelieveable). I would think you'll get a better set of component with the Energy. Energy and Athena share the same parent company, so I'm sure Athena has some design...

    Incredibles killed my sub

    3750 goes down to 28. For 400 (if I recall), way better deal than a 2000 sub that goes down to 10 or 15. I laugh at the comparison to Bose.

    Hsu or Energy Sub

    Energy makes a decent sub! The new 8.3's look and sound teriffic. I have a velodyne sub, but would definitely look at the energy when putting together another system. I have Energy connoisseurs for the rest of the setup.

    Incredibles killed my sub

    I have a velodyne dls 3750, just watched the incredibles the other night and was really impresseed on how the bass hit in that movie. No damage on my end :)

    Energy C-7 Info

    Excellent deal! I have a pair of C-7 maple myself, their sound is unbelieveable! If you are running them w.o. a subwoofer, set the speakers to large on your amp. If you are running with a subwoofer, I like to set them to small with a 60 Hz crossover. Enjoy!!!!

    Smallville Season 4 thread

    RafaelB, I agree with you. There is no doubt a difference in the quality and type of writing between the two shows. The difference being you're talking a major network with much more resources than WB has at it's disposal. In earlier seasons, they seemed pretty much on target with all...

    Smallville Season 4 thread

    Ah, to be critical of everything. I think the show is another example of why good storylines need to be drawn out. What would we look forward to if everything were figured out every season? In a messed up society of instant gratification, I like how they pick a story line, go with it, take a...

    Smallville Season 4 thread

    Ok, maybe I missed something. Did Clark lose the original stone that was in the cave chamber? I know Lana has the second stone, but what happened to the first? Martha seemed to imply that he lost both stones, last I remember, he had the first one... Unless I am forgetting, they did break...

    The Detroit area had a delayed broadcast, all radio / tv advertisements, cable guides, satellite guides, tv guide, titan tv, EVERYTHING said 10pm start time. Apparently, they decided to start it at 9:40 last night, because when I turned it on at 9:55, it appeared to be through a lot of the...

    Smallville Season 4 thread

    There is nothing wrong with a little critiquing here and there, the fact that everyone pays so much attention to the detail of the show is a good thing. Personally, I love the show. Buy the dvd sets on the day of release. I've gotten many others addicted to the show, and have people over...

    Now that I think about it, yes, you are correct. They did refer to her as a girlfriend. As far as all the drama that happens to these people and how they move on without it affecting them, couldn't you say that about almost every single drama show on television? Every new episode seems to be...

    Yeah, I guess you could consider her a girlfriend, but, that is a WAY short relationship (one episode!). At least Alicia was a girlfriend, went crazy for awhile, then came back. That relationship, though rocky, lasted a bit. I wouldn't really consider the hottie from the cave episode a...

    They were touching. They showed many times that when she is touching someone when she transports, they go with her.

    seting up for new Home Theater

    Jessie_, Athena's are good. I've listened to them (though, only at Best Buy) and they seem to do quite well with the sound. Along the lines of Athena's, you can spend a little more and get some Energy XL series, or maybe find some Energy Connoisseur C-5's, pair of CR-1's, and a CC-3...

    As far as the age thing goes in reference to Jimmy and Clark being different ages, in the first movie, he's a kid as he goes into the Fortress of Solitude. Moments later, he's an adult. It's then that Clark (young Kal-El) becomes Superman (adult Kal-El) instantly, aging years in a matter of...

    setting speakers to small or large?

    Switched all speakers to small. My sub turns on with radio and cd now, like I would have expected it to. However, I think they sounded slightly better when they were set to large... DarrylCHER, I am in the same boat as you with jumping between the two settings... Oh well, tweak, tweak...

    setting speakers to small or large?

    In response to: ----If you want the sub to play bass other than the LFE track while ALL your speakers are set to large, than you have to set the LFE/Bass out setting to "Both"---- If I set this to Both, which I have previously done, will it only send 80 and below to the sub? Using the...

    setting speakers to small or large?

    Maybe I am missing something, we'll see. I am confused at the difference between Large and Small and crossover settings. Scenario 1: Speakers setting to Large, crossover 80. This implies that the speakers handle 80Hz and up, and the sub handles 80 Hz and below. Scenario 2: Speakers...

    Velodyne DLSXXXX - Junk?

    Yes, Velodyne makes great subs. Like I said in mine, my audiophile buddy heard my DLS-3750 hooked up, and went and bought a 4000 for his room. Pick it up, you'll thank yourself once you pop in your first DVD or music source :)

    Velodyne DLSXXXX - Junk?

    I have a DLS-3750 and a friend of mine just bought the 4000. Velodyne make great subs, and both of us are very happy with what we have. Impact is very strong on mine, has a lot to do with dynamics, crossover, and the volume settings you specify. I have mine setup with some Energy...

    Energy Connoisseurs, warm or bright sounding?

    I have the C-7's with a yamaha 1400 (the new one is the 1500). They sound excellent, and my ratio of music and movies is the same as yours. One thing I want to add, if you go with the Energy Connoisseur line, give them a week of playing at moderate levels to break in before you decide if you...
