Am I inferring right that the big problem with The Killing is that it was a season finale? If there were 3 more eps this season would you feel same? -- nm - Dano Jun 20, 10:22 11
- That's my problem with it. (spoils, spec.) - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 20, 10:44

- I'm surprised that people are so upset about it - spoils - prayformojo Jun 20, 10:27
- no, I wouldn't. But it being the season finale and I assumed certain promises from the ads promoting the episode, I feel a bit betrayed -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:24 6
  - What I recall from the ads was "You won't believe the last five minutes." They apparently fulfilled that. -- nm - Dano Jun 20, 10:28 3
    - it's just bad uninspired writing imo. that finale episode was dreck. -- nm - Jovian Jun 20, 10:33
    - somehow I inferred from the ads that there would be an ending -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:29 1
      - I'm not saying its not my fault. (spoils) - crash davis Jun 20, 10:30
  - They didn't answer what the promised to in all the advertising.... - Remlik Jun 20, 10:27 1
    - so I wasn't the only one who interpreted their ads that way? cool -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:27

sycor, it's unfair to blame Survivor for Jersey Shore. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 20, 10:20 4
- fair enough. but Survivor played a big part in making "reality" tv popular. but you are right, those other shows did just continue the trend with - sycor Jun 20, 10:23 3
  - I think Real World was popular enough to spawn JS even without Survivor. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 20, 10:29
  - really the only things to blame for reality shows are the fact that: 1) they are cheap to produce and 2) that people watch them...nm - x Jun 20, 10:25
  - Blaming Survivor for Jersey Shore is like blaming Friends for the craptacular Friends-like shows in the early 00's. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 20, 10:24

SITWAP: Ryan Dunn of Jackass died. -- (link) - lileve Jun 20, 10:04 23

  - Is it bad of me to think I can't believe one of them hasn't died before now? - JaxSean Jun 20, 10:26 7
    - it was only a matter of time, really. -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 10:42 1
      - Trying to make sense of the way and time people die is a fool's errand, though -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 10:46
    - I have to believe there's some dude who is happy at this because he won his Jackass dead pool -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 10:42
    - agreed -- the news and manner of his death is one of the least shockings things possible. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 10:41 1
      - I expected him to be outside the car before the crash. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 20, 10:44
    - I agree with this - and I am anti nubby - he was one of my favs for no particular reason - Epiphany Jun 20, 10:31 1

        oh god no, keep all the Wildboyz guys. - groiny Jun 20, 10:15 6
        
        I only like Bam in small doses. - Mel Profit Jun 20, 10:17 5
        
        I don't think I've ever heard him say something genuinely funny. nm - Dignan Jun 20, 10:26
        
        I like him, but I also greatly enjoyed when they scared him to death with the huge snake. -- nm - TFox Jun 20, 10:20 3
        
        I felt bad for him. The look of terror was real. - Mel Profit Jun 20, 10:34

  - I'd rather watch the kelly and Will show. -- nm - iNubby 4 Jun 20, 10:12 4
    - They'd have to pay the lighting techs too much to keep the glare off of his forehead down. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 20, 10:22

    - i don't know him, so i didn't comment. i think Mark is just weird, it's too 'all about them'. Ryan is just too ubiquitous (he has to sleep sometime) -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 10:46
  - word is Consuelos is the likely pick - Strongbad Jun 20, 10:04 1
    - Sure he can. Leprechauns can do anything. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 20, 10:06

- No, it was never confirmed. There was speculation that the Cards had put a $200+ offer on the table. Hell, even this morning on Mike and Mike - Jim Jun 20, 10:16

        yeah, and with a wrist injuiry, it is likely he will not get to 30 homers this season. - groiny Jun 20, 10:10
    - well, he had picked his average up like .030 points in the last 2 weeks. - groiny Jun 20, 10:04
So, from the backboards, I gather that Ethan and Jenna are pulling a Boston Rob by going from Survivor to TAR ? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jun 20, 10:01 18
- a Rob & Amber, yes - but they will probably fare better -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 10:02 17
  - so win, rather than finish second thanks to producer interference? -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 10:02 16
    - spoils - Beryllium Jun 20, 10:23 1
      - oh! I am thinking of TAR All Stars, not Season 7 -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 10:25
    - the whole "race" aspect seems so contrived on every leg anyway. - TFox Jun 20, 10:06 12
      - there's deliberate bunching points so that one team doesn't get two days ahead or something - Reagen Jun 20, 10:10 4
        
        I don't watch AR...wanna nutshell for me how the fix was in on Rob and Amber? -- nm - Jim Jun 20, 10:23 3
        
        It was really only the last episode. - Reagen Jun 20, 10:35 2
        
        Ahhhh...yeah, I could see their motivation for doing that. but at the same time, sounds like Rob and Amber really won. - Jim Jun 20, 10:39
        
        spoils - Beryllium Jun 20, 10:38
      - it's my biggest issue with the show. It feels like the fix is in as often as not. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 20, 10:08 6
        
        this, and then, how is this a race? - TFox Jun 20, 10:10 5
        
        "It's a race!" -- nm - Mr. Bean Jun 20, 10:12
        
        and sometimes that's important. Gets you on an earlier flight before it sells out, for instance. -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 10:11 3
        
        I don't see the big deal. Everything's planned out well in advance and every season has had the same bunching effects. - Strongbad Jun 20, 10:13
        
        if there were more watermelons to the face, i could stick with it longer. -- nm - TFox Jun 20, 10:12 1

I wonder if it's true with the Welsh lady that they prefer to eat dishes from home, even when they are abroad? -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 09:59 7
- no, no, she's fine with whatever. i just think a taco bar would be hard for her to physically handle. - Andie Jun 20, 10:01 5
  - Also, she's flying red-eye, right? I'd keep it light - personally I eat very little before a trip. - MojaveMeg Jun 20, 10:32 1
    - good point -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 10:37
  - If I'm traveling, some dishes I miss are slow-cooked or roasted... Maybe a good roast with beggies. -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 10:05 1
    - it needs to be quick. (order in!!) -- nm - the feel bad poster of ST Jun 20, 10:11
  - You could always make a Taco Salad. It is quick and nothing is held -- nm - amoxy Jun 20, 10:03
- spaghetti with spotted dick, coming up -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 10:00
but some good spaghetti with some bread or biscuits and a salad, I would not call that lame. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 09:59
huh, office dog just ate the paper wrapper from my lunch muffin....nm - x Jun 20, 09:58 3
