    RIP Greg Giraldo

    Wow... I'm in shock. I never would have guessed he had a drug problem.

    Another really good comedian dies way too early. He may not have been as original as someone like Mitch Hedburg... but he always made me laugh. Damn shame...

    Wow. I can't say I cared for this show, but 2 weeks? That's among the fastest cancellations in TV history.

    I did a double take when I realized who it was. I don't care how big of an A-hole the guy is, he's still friggen Balki.

    Also, love that the old spice guy was in it.

    "Look at your spy, now back to me, now back to your spy, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me. But with Buymore brand Oldspice, he could smell like he's me. Back to your spy, now back to me. Where are you? The Buymore Music Section with the man your spy could smell like. Look down at your hand, back to me. What is it? A CD, with the music of that band you love. Back at your hand, back to me. Look again! The CD is now diamonds! Anything is possible at the Buymore. I'm on a horse."
  4. I get the feeling he'll be a lot like Vader. Crazy powerful, but still a loyal henchman who takes orders from the Emperor.

    This. Dear God 1000 times this.

    I missed the episode, but I'm a long time admirer of the show. I'll definitely check it out.

    I saw it.... muted it.... and after the sketch was done, immediately changed the channel. It was only going to go downshirt from there. Hill! Downhill....

It is a very good album if you are into grunge.
    Oh, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

    I'd love to hear your opinion on Death Magnetic. I appreciate Metallica music in all forms, but I do agree with you that they never were quite as good as they were then they did their early stuff.

    Okay, back to the topic at hand. Most of the obvious choices have already been said. So some of these may not land exactly on target.

    -You may want to check out Temple of The Dog. this was Cornells band before he moved to Soundgarden.
    -Rage Against the Machine, The Battle of Los Angeles is a great album.
    -Collective Soul. Where the River Flows, Shine, and Heavy are great songs.
    -The Prodigy's album The Fat of the Land, if you don't mind a little techno with your heavyness.
    -Clutch has some great songs too. One Eyed Dollar, Immortal, Mob Goes Wild, Carefule with that Mic, Wishbone.
    -Stone Temple Pilots. I don't really consider them Heavy, but they're good none the less.
    -If you don't mind going into the later dates, I highly recommend anything by Coheed and Cambria. Welcome Home is still one of my all time favorite songs.

    She's knows because of Fates Helmet. It may also be *why* she gives herself up... Don't let her look while being traded look fool you, she knows exactly what she's doing.

    Didn't he actually say "I think I flew"? I'm pretty sure this will be the lead up to Clark learning how to fly. He knows he can, but because of the adrenaline he doesn't know/remember how.

    This I completely agree with. That CGI was horrible. I haven't even finished getting my BA and have very little experience with 3D technology... and I'm pretty sure I could do better.
  10. Wow, the CG on that shadow figure were pretty bad. I'm not entirely sure that's Darkseid. It looked like the smoke was come'n from the crystals used to send the Kandorians away. Although, I suppose he could have used it to travel here... but... come on. No Boom Tube?

    Also, the dude beating up Oliver didn't seem like he was a bad guy. When he saw he wasn't making progress with him, he would have killed him and moved on.... Not trade him for Chloe. Me thinkst he might be Orion, looking for Darkseid. If I remember correctly, he was always a hardass.
  11. True. I mean, it's not like it's Jenna Jameson or Ron Jeremy we're talkin about here.

    Dangit, I'm going to have to watch that Katy Perry video at some point, aren't I? I've almost made a career out of avoiding it...
    In all fairness, I'm probably not the most objective opinion here. Never really been a fan of Perry's "work".

    As for the list... I honestly just scanned over it in about 5 minutes. Some of those people I don't even know who they are... Gene Simmons is probably the most damning of the people on the list. I don't know how I skipped over that name...

    Anyway, the argument that people who are worse than Perry getting through is valid. Obviously the show doesn't discriminate so much based on history. Granted, I haven't seen their segments either...and can't accurately judge their.. uuhh... position on the awkward meter.
  13. Thank you for posting that list. I was going to compare Katy Perry with Madonna, but I wasn't sure if she was ever on the show before. Didn't see her on the list. In fact... I couldn't immediately identify anyone on that list that's as trashy as Katy Perry.

    *edit* Perhaps I should use a less offensive word. Uuummm... Provocative?

    That's probably true. For me, though... Tiffani Amber Thiessen. I was way into Saved by the Bell back in the day.
  15. When Olivia escaped, they called it a Code Blue. I wonder... would that have been a Code Red in our universe?

    Also...

    The Cab had an ad for the musical 'Dogs'. lmao. This is why I love Fringe. They always pay attention to the details.

    Interesting comparison. I bet that made my folks nervous as hell.

    However, I *am* a massive perv with no girlfriend, so I'm sure you don't want my answer to that question. lol.
  17. The fact I felt horrible means there's still hope for me, right?

    In all seriousness, though... I side with the 'better safe than sorry' philosophy.
  18. To me, this seems right on that line between acceptable and not. However, I'm going to side with the censors on this.

    Not only because the outfit feels inappropriate, but also because it's Katy Perry and the song is uncomfortable (at best). Had it been an outfit that was less revealing... a song about her chasing Elmo would have felt less sexual and could have kept it's innocent vibe. In the song she actually says "you're in and you're out" and.... dare I say... I almost thought "That's what she said".

    I quickly remembered what I was watching and felt horrible.

    I'm confused. Primus rocks, why would anyone say they suck?

    Also... my mp3 player hit 'My Tourniquet' by Evanescence... and I noticed your avatar kept the beat with it... I don't know why, but I can't stop laughing.
  20. I'm still unsure if I want to watch this show or not.

    The pilot had me scoffing at and criticizing it until the very end. Then it got kinda interesting.
    However... for a show that's been advertised as much as it was... it's severely lackluster.
    The story is somewhat interesting, if not superfluous (God I love this word) in it's vagueness.

    [satire]
    It's 'The Event'! Oooohhhhh, mysterious!
    [/satire]

    The filming is just too confusing. I was a fan of Lost, and I appreciated the Flash backs and their contribution to the story.... but the way this show does it is downright sloppy.
    ADD much?
    I actually found myself mentally clinging to any period of story that occurred for longer 10 minutes because I just couldn't take another random jump in time.

    *3 months earlier*
    Hey, a new commercial for that show 'The Event' I wonder if that will last longer than Flash Forward did.

    *15 days ago*
    *.....*
    *From current day, not from 3 months ago*
    I'm getting kinda tired of 'The Event' and I haven't even seen the show.

    OMG, the plane is going to crash! Wait, how did we get back to present day? We've flashed between so many scenes I'm having trouble keeping track.

    Anyway, I'll watch the next few episodes... if only because of the pilots ending. I'm keeping myself at a safe distance, though. I'm serious about it being the next Flash Forward. That sucker got a lot of advertising bucks and was flushed when it didn't perform as well as expected. And because both have similar plots... I can * history repeating itself.

    *see

  23. I apologize if this has been asked before...
    I posted a topic in the Going Rogue Forum and completely forgot this topic was here. So, I'm going to ask... and if you feel the need, lock that topic.
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=239163

    Lore-wise, how do the Dark Powers in Praetoria work? Do they pull from the same 'Netherworld' as the powers on Primal Earth, or do they have their own? If they have their own, shouldn't they at least look different?
    Is this 'Netherworld' a different dimension or an 'afterlife'?

    This is probably a very nit-picky subject, I know. I'm just curious about it.

    Yeah, the 7 of 9 one is funny. They really should have added to cupcakes below to represent her 'lovelies'. That's what most nerds remember her for, after all.
