Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.

Dammit, right up top there should be a plug for Middleman Monday. Sigh. I miss MM, WW, and the gang.

Still, more Fringe and more Lost will console me. Wacky Walter and Shirtless Sawyer make me happy in different ways.

"What happens when a company harnesses the power of time travel to take tourists back in time to shoot dinosaurs? Well, everything goes to hell of course. Cozy up with the so-terrible-it's-almost-good flick, The Sound Of Thunder, at 5 PM on the Sci Fi Channel"

Does Richard Corben know that one of his adult comic book stories has been ripped off? I think not.

@dOk: Wha? It's based on the really old Ray Bradbury story of that title, not some comic book.

Crime-infested streets of Smallville? Does Metropolis not friggin exist in this spinoff of the Superman Universe anymore? This show needs to die a miserable death.

I'm getting incredibly sick of Clone Wars. I'm watching the french-jedi episode RIGHT NOW. And I'm already pissed off.

1) Asokha = total C*nt. nuff said.

2) Why can hyperspace be activated by a clone hitting his HEAD on the control panel.

3) Why can you NOT deactivate it? Just smash your head on the panel.

4) YOU CANNOT GO INTO HYPERSPACE NEAR A GRAVITY SOURCE. THIS IS THE REASON THEY HAVE NAV COMPUTERS AND ASTROMECH DROIDS - TO AVOID THEM. WHY DO I KNOW MORE ABOUT THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE THAN THE WRITERS?

You might want to turn your 'nerd' down a little. It's getting in the way of you enjoying the story.

@Belabras: Fuck you, cowboy. The only people still watching that piece of trash are nerds like me. And they're even alienating us.

What story? The whole thing's a fucking mess from top to bottom. They can't write a single character who isn't as irritating as a steel wool massage, the stories move along at the idiotic speed of eight avalanches, the jedi whine endlessly and the only worthwhile people are the clones, who seem to be sacrificed by the hundreds in each episode.

@Belabras: I gotta agree with Pope. The entire SW franchise has been limping on weak writing and a complete and total disregard for character development. Just about everyone is boring. If there is a good character, it'll just be neglected. The only thing that works is the special effects, and those are totally worthless without the former.

You'd think that beings that have microorganisms that give them super powers of sorts would be more interesting and kickass. I mean, they can influence minds, leap unnatural heights and are armed with swords made of fucking light, yet they're always overwhelmed and whiny? Lucas destroys our dreams.

Man, they have been milking that Ministry report on UFOs for the past 6 months (all of TV, not particularly UFO Hunters). And what did the report say? absolutely nothing.

As for BSG: ok, you've given me helen as final cylon, I'm a bit disappointed, you better start doing something good with it, and you better start this week!

Hmmm, are these alcohool clouds the remnants of a planet that was rich in malted barley, then encased in oak trees for 12 years (or more) before being released upon the universe?
