    '...it's not about time travel. It just uses time travel to set up the situation.'


    So Looper is a bit like the Terminator then?


    About Bakula, what's his standing among us sci-fi fans? Did Enterprise ruin him for us or what?


    in the Transformers TV spot, anybody recognise who's at the 9 second mark?

    @AngryEddy: Exactly. We've forgiven him for Enterprise; he had nothing to work with. (He must have looked back longingly to the old QL days of decent scripts). Plus, he was mucho charming on Chuck.

    "Also, Aykroyd said that Bill Murray refused to come back unless Ernie Hudson had as big a role as the other original guys."


    If there ever was a reason to love Bill Murray more, it's this.

    When Ackroyd speaks about anything Ghostbusters and throws in stuff about dimensional travel and all that weird crap, people have to remember that he has these grand, insane ideas that always get edited through Harold Ramis and to some degree Bill Murray. Dan's original idea had various teams of Ghostbusters flying through space, driving through walls, and all sort of bizarre stuff, but Ramis was brought in to bring the whole concept down to Earth - so to speak. 90% of what he's saying would never make it into a GB3 script.


    And props to Bill Murray for backing up Ernie Hudson! Winston never gets the love!

    Oh sure, lure me in with "Doctor Who Companion Shocker" and then give me Sara Jane and K9. That's like yelling "Hey! Free chips!" then when everyone shows up hungry and wanting you point to a pile of "cow chips" (read: cow poop) and exclaim "Enjoy!".


    It seems my day will start off with disappointment.

    @Charax: To be fair, Doctor Who has always been about running and explosions, but I agree about the writing/pacing.


    Mind you, the really good episodes of Doctor Who blow SJA out of the water, and this last season of SJA had some pretty major stinkers (especially the clown episode), but I think when it comes down to average minute-by-minute "non-craptitude," SJA is still slightly in the lead.

    The only thing I need to know about "V" is when do we see the gerbil get eaten.
    Also, "Explosive Transformers Pics" is a redundant term.

    Good LORD those Smallville costumes are bad. I mean... why is Bart Allen wearing bed jammies? He looks like he's ready for a third grade sleepover.


    And why does Black Canary have used motor oil smeared across her face? She looks like an east german dominatrix who got in a motorcycle accident.

    Hey, if the procedure was complete and easily reversible, I'd be entirely willing to try being totally asexual, let alone a eunuch.


    But then I'd be totally willing to copy my mind into silicon and run around in a hyperalloy combat chassis.


    What? What?
