  1. I never saw Nemisis all the way though. I just can never sit through it. It doesn't interest me. Perhaps I am the audiance that thay say became fatigued. Actually I think it was the writers who became fatigued.

    The producers actually thought of this. After the third movie, they looked into the possibility of recasting for age. But after researching and polling their audience, they learned that the majority of viewers wanted them to keep the same actors as long as possible.
  5. I like this version I found on the Green Lantern Wikipedia Page.
    Quote:
    Duck Dodgers temporarily becomes a Green Lantern after accidentally picking up Hal Jordan's laundry. In the first part of the episode, he forgets the real quote and makes up his own version:

    In blackest day or brightest night
    Watermelon, cantaloupe, yadda yadda
    Erm... superstitious and cowardly lot
    With liberty and justice for all!

    I love the almost Tick-like disreguard for rooftops!

    Come to think of it, He is the Tick! Only not so indistructible.

    SPOOOON!

    Lets hope they can't just build one from scratch like Voyager seemed to be able to do every episode.
  8. With Disney owning Marvel now, I expect you'll see a lot more Marvel animated movies out there. Having gone to Disneyland this past month, I saw a lot of Marvel clothes and toys in the Disney stores. My guess, there will be a lot more exposure of these characters over the next few years to help build the brand in the nations conscious.

    again, waiting for the tech singularity, when we can shake off this fleshy body and go completely energy, that way we can traverse great distances, regardless of the effects of time.

    Trying to get this fleshy mass all that way is a waste, really.

    Interesting side note, if someone shoots a gun in a police station, don't you think the police would look for the slug, you know, as evidence? And, having found said slug, notice that it never stuck the wall, or the floor, or where ever? CSI would have a field say with that magic bullet.

    Again, that's what the show is about. The show is about a ship "Train" that is stopping and starting randomly. The Gates, "Or Stations" are the bottle necks that the plot takes place around. That's the show. Thats it.

    Now what they do around that plot, how the characters interact, the dialogue, and such, that is poor writing. Bringing on the alliance, Someone they never mentioned before in this paticular show to be the big bad heavies as a season finally, that is poor writing. Having most of those characters tossed off the ship on the first planet they come across, that is poor writing. Having the medic pregnant, then a few episodes later getting rid of the baby through magic just so you can "Get on with it" that is poor writing. Having the fact that we are now in to the second season and I still can't remember the names of half the characters, that's poor writing.

    The use of reduntend plot points that are built into the make up of the show, not so much. Its like complaining that the West Wing always took place in DC and all the episodes were about politics. Or that Angela Landbury allways wound up at a Murder scene every week.

    However, this is just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

    I'm going back to watch NCIS: Los Angeles.
    How many times on Star Trek did they "Beam down to that planet, and lose their communicators?"

    It's what TV shows do. This one happens to be about a train that randomly stops and starts, of couse some episodes are going to be about people being left at the station. That's the whole point.

    Yeah, the whole Mexican Road-trip was so... good! Such good tv right there. Just a great way to bring back Syler! So interesting and realistic! LOL Sorry, I'm very bitter. Heroes was a great idea broken.

    Exactly

    What I am saying is I enjoyed this ONE episode of NOF more than the entire of seasons 2,3,and so on of Heroes, and that I look forward to more.

    Also, the Super-battles, yeah, there was like 2 or maybe 3 good ones in ALL of heroes, and I don't really remember them, where as, the fake hero fights, like the one where Scarface Pete and President Syler fight off camera with blinking lights, sticks in my mind like hot lead of DOOM!
  18. I still can't get over that the super scientific mom isn't worried about her own, her husband's or her Kids health. After all, something pretty major has happened to them, you would think she would want to have them at least have a physical or something.

  20. I have a lair? A wi-fi Lair?

    SOLD!


    As said, this had in one hour everything that Heroes missed.

    Just one thing...

    For a wife, who is some kind of super bio scientist, I wonder why she didn't worrie about bad effects the glowing water might have had on her and her family. Tests anyone? Tests?
