    I just don't get the love for OOTS

    They might be saying that... but they would be unreasonable doing so - under any normal and practical circumstance. Because: And how long does it take a film to show "a few scenes"? And how long does it take to read "10-15 pages"? Exactly - not much. Now, let's compare that to reading, what...

    Wolverine looks awesome!!!

    From my local paper (and attributed to The Associated Press): "Director Gavin Hood says the theatrical version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine features two different "Easter egg" endings. The short bits of footage play after the credits and reveal important information about key characters. Hood...

    New DM basic dungeon preparation question

    This is pretty much exactly how we do it. I draw on our (fairly massive) white-board on the fly as the PCs move along, just drawing to the limits of their sight/darkvision/light source/whatever, and describing while I draw. It doesn't take me very long to draw things in, so there's almost no...

    Heroes #25:An Invisible Thread/Season 3/2009

    I thought the final episode was okay. Stupid, but less stupid than other episodes. Keeping Sylar around in this ham-fisted manner sucks, all the missing threads (mentioned multiple times by multiple people in this thread), etc still hurt the show, but it was okay because - as another poster...

    I know what you want for dinner tonight...SUBWAY!

    I'm fine with the predictability in a show like Chuck. Especially in a show like Chuck, actually. (I can understand those with different preferences finding that a bad thing, though.) And yeah... hoo-boy Chuck's fighting was bad. No, sir, you do not know kung-fu. Love the Buy More scenes. The...

    Fringe #17:Bad Dreams/Season 1/2009

    Good, as usual. (Though I don't recall them showing any "shocking details" regarding the ZFT.)

    Annoying Flash Ads with Sound desired?

    Well said.

    When someone plays something you don't like

    Hmmm... given your parameters, I might have been in that situation some time long in the past, but certainly not in recent memory. As a DM, if I don't like it on a mechanics basis (for whatever reason), it'll have long since been banned before my players enter the game. So no issues there. If...

    Heroes #24:I am Sylar/Season 3/2009

    Agree. He was an excellent villain... in Season 1. Disagree. Everything else being equal (which it's not), it would improve the show simply by forcing tighter storylines. Quinto a good actor? Sure... I look forward to seeing him in a different show. Hey - I heard he's got a big part in an...

    "Nerd Rage" = Thinly-Veiled Flamebait

    Agreed. There may be some irony in this thread... Pretty much, if you feel the need to get bent out of shape ("politely" or otherwise) about other people getting bent out of shape, then you're doing it wrong.

    Heroes #24:I am Sylar/Season 3/2009

    That one single act will immeasurably improve the show.

    Heroes #24:I am Sylar/Season 3/2009

    Actual episode title: "I Am Boring". Danko: "Muwahahaha!" (covers all his dialogue and actions for this episode, if not the entire season) Sylar: "Whine whine whine. The writers are so incompetent that they don't know what to do with me, thus the excuse to go with a 'need to find myself'...

    "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" A Space Oddity

    This episode had it all. - Unbridled nerd-rage directed at change? Check. - Some incompetent producer under the mistaken impression that he can "re-boot" a classic series by making it all dark and brooding? Check. - Ron Moore yelling "You suck!"? Check. - BSG refugees scattered throughout...

    Annoying Flash Ads with Sound desired?

    Ads with sounds are completely unacceptable during ENWorld browsing, AFAIC.

    Dollhouse #9:Spy in the House of Love/Season 1/2009

    Great episode, and much better than many of the previous. Mellie/November is all that.

    Terminator #22:TSCC-Born to Run/Season 2/2009

    And so's the Umber Hulk, which they also clearly mentioned! What a great episode, and great series. Yay me (and my wife, who deserves more of the credit) for getting the theory correct. Woo! ;) I'll be very sad if it gets canceled (though I would not be surprised, because I'm bitter...

    Why No Lost?

    Yet, from what I remember, she gave absolutely zero indication that this was the guy who took her baby, not even mentioning "oh guys - btw, he was the one who nabbed Alex. Just sayin', as you go on and on debating as to if he is even a member of the Others in the first place". Not even facial...

    Terminator#21:TSCC-Adam Raised a Cain/Season 2/2009

    That is exactly what we did, too.

    Why No Lost?

    That was an alright episode - unfortunately tremendously marred by the lazy retcon. Ben took Rousseau's baby? Meh. If that were the case, she would have popped him one when she first caught him as "Henry Gale" in her net. (And suggesting otherwise would simply be reaching and making things up...

    Heroes #22:Turn And Face The Strange/Season 3/2009

    That wasn't a half-bad episode, actually - at least compared to most of the others. ... except for Danko. Wow... just wow. For pete's :):):):)ing sake, just shoot him! Shoothimshoothimshoothimshoothimshoothimshoothimshoothimshoothim! Splatter his brains against the wall ASAP. It was absolutely...
