Actually, I've had that problem with this season for a while now. It was just especially annoying in this week's episode. EDIT: Also, the Hiro storyline of him going back in time to save someone and finding out he can't is a rehash from season 1, too. Do the writers not have any new ideas for...

Excuse me, but wasn't the whole "Claire hates and doesn't trust her father" plotline done last season? They are rehashing the exact same ground here. Come on - we've seen this storyline already. Can we please move on? And Kristin Bell is a great actress, but she has been totally wasted in this...

Writers and studios agree to resume talks after Thanksgiving Good news. Let's hope they can come to a fair resolution of this conflict.

Sure, it looks like answering this one question will cost them nothing. But if they answer it, a lot of people are going to see that and start posting their own questions about 4E. And then WotC will have to choose between having people spend a lot of time answering 4E questions (time they could...

Actually, the gaffers and grips and other production crew members have a lot at stake here, too. While they don't get residual payments directly, residual money does get contributed to form their pension and health insurance plans. If the studios succeed in cutting off (or greatly reducing)...

Here's another article - this one discusses the fact that the writers are striking against the big Hollywood studios, not the individual producers: Producers say don't blame us

This is incorrect. That's the lowest DVD price Wal-Mart offers, and only they sell some titles for that price. If you look at their top sellers page, for instance, there are only a few titles there selling for $14.87. But, in any case, whether the studio profit is $12 per DVD or $10.50 doesn't...

Well, according to this article, 40% of DVD sales go through Wal-Mart alone. Add in all the other big retail chains, like Best Buy, etc., and I'm sure that they account for well over half of U.S. DVD sales. With the studios selling direct to the major retailers, distributor "middleman" costs are...

The NYT article says that the studios sell DVDs wholesale to retailers, which would mean there are no distributor's costs involved. But, if the numbers seem off to you, all I can suggest is to contact the reporter about it.

But once Adam is dead, presumably his power would stop working. And if his regeneration would even work on his dead body and bring him back to life, all they'd have to do is kill him, then incinerate his body with the Haitian still in proximity. Of course, your idea to bury him alive works, too.

What I want is for you to provide some support for the things you are claiming are facts. And I want you to leave the personal comments out of it this time. Now, are you willing to do this, or am I wasting my time?

Well, he didn't do the same with Nathan, who flew away when he and HRG tried to abduct him back in season 1. So it seems there's a lot of inconsistency surrounding the Haitian's power.

One thing that bugged me - Adam said that the company couldn't kill him. But we know that the Haitian can block people's powers, so they could just bring the Haitian in and then kill him. As for the rest.... I really have to give props to Ali Larter. So far, all of Niki's personalities have...

Oh! Sorry, my mistake.

Indeed. That nonsensical argument gets taken on in this post, which I linked to earlier in the thread:

Are you seriously citing Futurama and The Simpsons as evidence that real-life Hollywood unions are corrupt?

When you come in posting a bunch of stuff as fact, people have the right to ask you to provide support for these "facts." I did it when I was asked, you can do the same. So, in other words, you're saying that you can't or won't back up the things that you're claiming as fact. So why should...

Since you're presenting all these things as facts, I'd like to see some sources before I accept them as such. Yes, writers currently get the (abysmally low) DVD rate for internet downloads, and the offer on the table for streaming content was the same (abysmally low) DVD rate. And it's worth...

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/13/movies/13leip.html Turns out I was wrong about the figures. Studios sell DVDs wholesale for $16; subtract $2 for manufacturing costs and $2 for marketing costs, and they're making $12 profit per DVD. Of which they give the writers four cents. There's something...

Organized crime? What are you talking about?
