a very small glimmer of hope that Gotham Central (great DC Comics series) may be coming to tv -- (link) - Remlik Sep 24, 09:20 4

  - well if it goes to TV DC will have nothing to do with it. It will be the Time Warner TV Division. so we'll see -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:32 2

  - nmbM - Spawn Sep 24, 09:20 2
    - I was just running it by leadership today and then going to get back to holly. - Mel Profit Sep 24, 09:43 1
      - Thought so. We are still hitting them. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:47
Phone etiquette: my family gives me a hard time for never saying goodbye before hanging up. - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 09:10 7
- You people are weird. "Bye" and "Bye" is followed by a click. Always. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:39 1
  - That's kind of what we are saying -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 09:41
- When I'm on the phone with my mom, "bye" apparently means "I have about five more things I'm going to bring up now." - con_carne Sep 24, 09:38
- I...never have this problem. - znufrii Sep 24, 09:35
- "I just got a minus-10 in the last game. Fuck this shit. *click*" -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 24, 09:30

- that back and forth drives me crazy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:13
Mel? -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:08
For some reason, I am really feeling the urge to have pizza for lunch. -- nm - David Sep 24, 09:07 8
- Our Little Ceasars has $3.99 pizzas on Tuesdays. - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:14 4
  - ugh. I will never eat Little Sleazers again, unless I've had a sixer of Mickey's Big Mouth -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:15 3
    - For $3.99, I can get a couple things from [fast food]'s dollar menu, or a whole pizza. Hmm. - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:21 2
      - but then you have 5 days of toilet time to follow. -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:34
      - Well, "pizza" at least. - ty97 Sep 24, 09:25
- you're heading for a world of pain. -- nm - colin Sep 24, 09:08
- Do NOT pick it up. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:08 1

- blahblahWARblahMAJORblahblahblah - Spawn Sep 24, 09:06 20
  - I think I will be Halo'ing again Friday night. - groiny Sep 24, 09:06 18
    - *ahem* I played on Saturday. Nobody saw your brittle knees on there. -- nm - David Sep 24, 09:07 16
      - hey we were on till Midnight waiting for people! -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:11
      - I was entrenched in a Breaking Bad marathon. - groiny Sep 24, 09:09 14
        
        And I told you before, if I don't see anybody on Halo, I go to bed. - David Sep 24, 09:10 13
        
        be happy I called off my haitus after 6 months. - groiny Sep 24, 09:11 11
        
        Don't worry. We had Pete so we had a replacement who could die a lot in your absence. -- nm - David Sep 24, 09:12 10
        
        please, I barely missed a beat. - groiny Sep 24, 09:13 5
        
        Me, I missed a beat. - David Sep 24, 09:15 4
        
        that was a brutal game. brutal. -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:21
        
        well, see Black Ops, you can kill teammates, so that would not impact me. - groiny Sep 24, 09:17 2
        
        Black Ops 2 only has friendly fire enabled in Hardcore mode, AFAIK -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:18 1
        
        (er, but I'm sure groiny always goes for hardcore.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:19
        
        uh I was a top 3 player in most of our matches while you were hiding behind things. -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:13 3
        
        Whatever you say, Ant-Man. -- nm - David Sep 24, 09:13 2
        
        hey he gets to climg around women's cleveage. That's a bonus to his power set! -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:15
        
        *I* ranked better than you at one point, even with accidentally dropping grenades and standing on them because I was rusty. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:15
        
        Girls, you are both pretty. - Spawn Sep 24, 09:11
    - Saturday was awesome. *looks at you* - Spawn Sep 24, 09:07
  - I miss that dude. -- nm - David Sep 24, 09:06
wow. very nice ratings for The Blacklist. And CBS Mondays may be in some trouble. - Jovian Sep 24, 08:56 21
- also, it does seem official that The Voice is *the* singing show competition that people want to watch. - Jovian Sep 24, 09:07
- Tonight its seems is the battleground night -- nm - eag Sep 24, 09:02 10
  - I know. Cant wait to see tomorrows numbers for tonight. -- nm - Jovian Sep 24, 09:05
  - NCIS and NCIS-LA have been the #1 and #2 dramas. I think this is the year they're going down. Too much competition. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:04 8
    - I heard that they decided to go in a more feminine direction with Ziva's replacement. - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:05 3
      - I keep thinking that this is some ploy or PR stunt -- nm - eag Sep 24, 09:11 1
        
        no way in hell. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:18
      - honestly I don't even care. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:06
    - I think SHIELD's premier is huge, and then it drops a lot to level out. -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 09:04 3
      - I think your first point is right but drops alot? - eag Sep 24, 09:10 2
        
        There's no sustaining a show like that. -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 09:24 1
        
        Speakth the truth I believeth you doth. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 24, 09:25
- Every year I'm bemused that a number like that is considered high now :-) - con_carne Sep 24, 09:00
- If you liked the pilot for The Blacklist, it's probably because you liked it as the Alias pilot. -- nm - David Sep 24, 08:58 6
  - Yeah. But James Spader. - Kim Pine Sep 24, 08:59 5
    - If he starts wearing the Sidney Bristow outfits, I'm out. -- nm - David Sep 24, 09:01
    - and Joe Carnahan directed it and I liked The A-team movie. The show has room for improvement no doubt, but I'll give it a few -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:00
    - See? This premise and that trailer with anyone other than Spader, doesn't get my attention. - Jim Sep 24, 09:00 2
      - Yep. Me too. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 24, 09:15
      - Agreed. It was good enough that I will be there for a few weeks and they did enough that I think I will enjoy it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:01
- Sleepy Hollow did very well, especially compared to Hostages (which looked dumb to me) -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:57
The government was watching you. Every hour of every day, the machine catalogued and tracked you. I know, because I built it. - Finch si Sep 24, 08:55 24
- looking forward to POI more honestly. -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:55 23
  - Me too. Love this show. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:02 1
    - this -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 24, 09:33
  - cant wait for POI tonight. Im watching this live instead of SoA -- nm - Jovian Sep 24, 09:01
  - Enough. - Spawn Sep 24, 08:56 19
    - You're right, he's way better. -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 08:59
    - No, he's not. Finch and Reese *combined* are Batman. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 24, 08:59 9
      - does that make Taraji P. Henson Commissioner Gordon? -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 09:05 6
        
        not yet...but certainly a Lt. Gordon who's still on the streets kicking ass... -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 09:35
        
        I don't know about that...but I do know Ron Howard better get on his j-o-b with Stephen King's Dark Tower before she gets too old - Jim Sep 24, 09:07 2
        
        Zoe Saldana will get it. She gets everything. -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 09:13 1
        
        I like her, but she'd be all wrong. Henson IS Suzannah? Have you read the books? - Jim Sep 24, 09:15
        
        Now that you mention it ... - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:05 1
        
        I know. :) -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 09:12
      - No. Close, but no. - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:02 1
        
        (and further ...) - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:03
    - Finch is Lucious Fox! -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 08:58
    - In all seriousness though...if you get a chance to start on Season 1...I think you'd really dig it. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 08:57 2
      - Yes, I would 100% recommend watching from Season 1 Episode 1, just to get the full satisfaction of the show - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:03 1
        
        Also: They're very good at recapping, but when I say buildup, I mean ... just the feeling of it. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:04
    - You're right. He's got a better "scary voice" than Batman. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 08:57 1
      - Did you see that clip that was released from the trilogy video set? - Spawn Sep 24, 09:00
    - You're right, he's not. nm - Jim Sep 24, 08:57 1
      - right, he uses guns -- nm - Beaker Sep 24, 08:57
*wonders whether NCIS will suck, really suck or really, really suck this year* - Beaker Sep 24, 08:54 12
- It did last year so I wouldn't expect anything else. - David Sep 24, 08:59 9
  - Nothing would please me more than an end to the "let's build every arc off Gibbs's past" thing they've been doing. - TWuG Sep 24, 09:22 7
    - um. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:27 3
      - Yes? -- nm - TWuG Sep 24, 09:34 2
        
        they will NEVER stop that Gibbs arc thing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:37 1
        
        Then the show will continue to suck. - TWuG Sep 24, 09:42
    - Ziva needed to date a girl like they hinted at occasionally. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 24, 09:23 2
      - I just wanted them to get rid of Abby. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 09:28
      - Ziva and Boren. :-) -- nm - TWuG Sep 24, 09:26
  - they really don't, to be honest. spoils. - loosilu Sep 24, 09:03
- I might start watching. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 08:58
- I'll be quitting. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 08:57

  - Good Lord. A decade of stagnant web design, and this is what they come up with? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 24, 09:20
- We don't get paid nearly enough to spin this shit. -- nm - PR Department of AIG Sep 24, 08:53 1
  - What you need is a retreat in Las Vegas. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 24, 09:28
- "now, say they'll live to regret this" -- nm - Devil on his shoulder Sep 24, 08:52 1
