I think BBT moved to 9:30 so CBS might win the 9:00 hour. - the wrong element, bad guy May 21, 14:09
Former UT basketball player/5-star recruit shows why he was kicked off the team. - David May 21, 14:05
"Over its 23 songs, Iron & Wine�s sound changes, from scratchy sparseness to well-appointed sparseness..." - TFox May 21, 14:03 19
- if that's true, very disappointing - cause Sheperd's Dog was very much not sparse. - Guy May 21, 14:05 17
  - (The reviewer did note a bit of Shepherd's Dog "jittery clamor" too, but it doesn't make his writing less dumb.) -- nm - TFox May 21, 14:07 16
    - I never heard this band, but "Shepherd's Dog" by Iron and Wine sounds like the album I would least likely buy ever in the history of time -- nm - con_carne May 21, 14:10 7
      - It is the most mindnumbingly boring bullshit you will ever hear, I swear to god. -- nm - TFox May 21, 14:12 3
        
        btw, you are likely both dead to nubby now -- nm - Guy May 21, 14:14 2
        
        No that happened one time when I ragged on Cold Play -- nm - con_carne May 21, 14:18
        
        I am not 100% convinced that the dude isn't some performance artist. - TFox May 21, 14:16
      - in this wonderful world of internet, you don't really need to guess -- (link) - Guy May 21, 14:12
      - not a band, just a dude with a band name. -- nm - mafic May 21, 14:11 1
        
        (just like Bright Eyes!) :) -- nm - TFox May 21, 14:12
    - btw - what did you think of Conor's newest? - Guy May 21, 14:09 5
      - I didn't pick it up because I heard a lot of people saying exactly that. - TFox May 21, 14:11 4
        
        with one exception, even Conor's songs were meh, imo -- nm - Guy May 21, 14:13 3
        
        As good as the previous two were, he's still chasing the heights of Lifted! and I'm Wide Awake. - TFox May 21, 14:15 2
        
        its true, sadly, but i think he'll eventually get over that and make something equally classic - several years from now -- nm - Guy May 21, 14:17 1
        
        Certainly it bodes well that he is trying to expand his sound into something a little more full. - TFox May 21, 14:19
    - are you still doing those mini-reviews? -- nm - Guy May 21, 14:08 1
      - not at the moment, I'm on hiatus. between my busy season and SheFox out on disability and being president of the charity and being a dad... - TFox May 21, 14:09
- Conversely, a critic who should be given a medal for accuracy: - TFox May 21, 14:05
I meant that in the fight for which I recorded, Chuck won. - the liioulu on her wat downtown May 21, 13:59 3
- "liioulu on her twat downtown" -- nm - how i read your handle at first glance May 21, 14:03 1
  - Hmm...didn't notice the typo. *sigh* -- nm - the liioulu on her way downtown May 21, 14:05
- Moving BBT to 9:30 has the potential to really turkey slap my ability to tape Raw on Monday nights. -- nm - TFox May 21, 14:00
Thanks for the gifts Marcel :) -- nm - Stacy is in awe of TFox May 21, 13:59
holy crap, im glad Marcel linked this on FB, id almost forgot to check it (family photos) -- (link) - Guy May 21, 13:58
Joey, Bill Shanks has said that... - David May 21, 13:57 3
- Rohrbaugh is strong -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 14:05 2
  - He's turns 22 tomorrow and hasn't gotten out of A ball yet, but the organization really likes him. -- nm - David May 21, 14:07 1
    - I like him only cuz I have a #ed to 25 autograph card of his from last year. - Will Hunting May 21, 14:10
You know, I'm not sure we were watching anything that got cancelled in our house. All our bubble shows made it. -- nm - TFox May 21, 13:56 11
- lucky you. - b! May 21, 14:09 1
  - oh, and i also watched most of "samantha who" -- nm - b! May 21, 14:12
- We lost Reaper, Everybody Hates Chris, Earl (depending what happens), Samantha Who, King of the Hill, Life, Privileged. -- nm - Callisto May 21, 14:08 6
  - King of the Hill is cancelled?? Wha? -- nm - con_carne May 21, 14:18 2
    - It's been cancelled every year for the last several years. - Callisto May 21, 14:19 1
      - Thx. And I just googled up some news about it, which is bad, but a little good for fans -- (link) - con_carne May 21, 14:21
  - I'm suprised King of the Hill lasted as long as it did. - the liioulu on her way downtown May 21, 14:10
  - I never restarted Reaper this season. -- nm - TFox May 21, 14:10
  - (And Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies earlier.) -- nm - David May 21, 14:09
- I lost Eleventh Hour, Kyle XY, and Terminator -- nm - MDH May 21, 13:59 1
  - the Eleventh Hour cancellation freed up 17 hours on my DVR. - Jovian May 21, 14:13
Question for those in the know: Do we think the actors sing their own vocals on Glee? - Subversive May 21, 13:55 23
- and I could have sworn I saw them on stage during the Idol finale last night -- nm - Jovian May 21, 14:11
- Yes. And as an aside the teacher created the role of Link Larkin in "Hairspray" on Bway. He was also Tony-nominated for "The Light in the Piazza". - Diva May 21, 14:05 10
  - Apparently future guest stars include Cheyenne Jackson (yum), Kristin Chenoweth, Victor Garber, Debra Monk, and John Lloyd Young. -- nm - Dano May 21, 14:08 4
    - Kristin Chenoweth can sing Burning Flame to me any day. -- nm - David May 21, 14:10 2
      - Eternal Flame -- nm - con_carne May 21, 14:11
      - (Eternal Flame) -- nm - David May 21, 14:10
    - ah, can't wait for Victor Garber to sing. -- nm - Callisto May 21, 14:09
  - seen him onstage in both shows, and he is f*cking fantastic. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 14:08 4
    - Yep - me too. I was amazed by how clean all of his dancing was in 'Hairspray'. So good he sort of made everyone around him look like lazy schlubs. -- nm - Diva May 21, 14:10 3
      - I was more impressed by his performance in Piazza, wasn't sure he would have the vocal chops to pull it off. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 14:11 2
        
        That was such a beautiful show. -- nm - Diva May 21, 14:12 1
        
        *still pissed off at William Goldman* -- nm - znufrii May 21, 14:14
- "I ain't no Kelly Rowland!" -- nm - MDH May 21, 14:01
- The female lead has done Les Miserables and Spring Awakening on Broadway, so I assume she sings her own vocals. -- nm - Dano May 21, 13:59 7
  - She also originated the role of The Little Girl in "Ragtime" on the Bway. -- nm - Diva May 21, 14:06
  - I think the least believable part of the premiere was how stunning she is. - Subversive May 21, 14:01 5
    - Especially in Ohio. If it was Los Angeles, sure. However... what liioulu said. -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 21, 14:06 3
      - She does seem to aggressively eschew being popular at her school. She's looking bigger picture. (nm) - Dano May 21, 14:10 2
        
        She's only interested in the quarterback because he's good enough to be her performing partner. -- nm - the liioulu on her way downtown May 21, 14:15 1
        
        She's very Sharpay, really. - Callisto May 21, 14:16
    - She's an outcast for how she acts. And not on stage. - the liioulu on her wat downtown May 21, 14:04
- Yes. I'd be very surprised if vocal talent wasn't a crucial portion of the acting process, especially since that guy can't act. -- nm - David May 21, 13:59
- I would confidently guess yes. The QB isn't as great as the other characters keep saying he is. - Dr.McVermin May 21, 13:58
dug, that time has come and gone. -- (link) - Dr.McVermin May 21, 13:53
OMG -- (link) - amoxy May 21, 13:52
Glee's going to end up being the biggest thing on television isn't it. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 13:52 18
- this bodes well for cop rock's comeback. -- nm - mafic May 21, 14:08
- Biggest thing on Fox since the Simpsons. -- nm - the liioulu on her way downtown May 21, 14:06 2
  - Shit. -- nm - Simon Cowell May 21, 14:07 1
    - Bull. -- nm - The X-Files May 21, 14:11
- It will do better than Viva Laughlin, and with the iTunes songs, could be a big money maker -- nm - MDH May 21, 14:02 1
  - I just beefed in my cubicle, and it did better than Viva Laughlin. -- nm - TFox May 21, 14:08
- just like Pushing Daises and Ugly Betty! -- nm - Remlik May 21, 14:01
- No. -- nm - Dano May 21, 14:00
- It's going to be an okay sized hit with an absolutely zealous fanbase. -- nm - David May 21, 13:58 3
  - Word. These fans might be terrifying when they go to cancel this show. -- nm - TFox May 21, 13:59 2
    - "These fans" = ST? -- nm - con_carne May 21, 14:08 1
      - Nothing is more terrifying than ST. -- nm - Qale May 21, 14:18
- It seems more likely to be one of those that ST loves but that struggles to find a mainstream audience. - Subversive May 21, 13:54 1

  - I think that was part of the Spring Preview strategy. -- nm - Dano May 21, 14:13
- I think the ratings tanked hard considering the gift spot it was in. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 13:53
- No. No it is not. -- nm - TFox May 21, 13:52
I love that UT has a recruit named Jose Jose. -- nm - David May 21, 13:51 4
- Also the stage name of an extremely popular singer -- nm - con_carne May 21, 13:55
- "In Cuba, Ricky Ricardo would have been Ricardo Ricardo" -- nm - prayformojo May 21, 13:53
- one pronounced spanish, the other french? -- nm - mafic May 21, 13:52 1
  - I've never actually heard it said out loud. -- nm - David May 21, 13:58
B2: Ika question: I have someone blockading a city. If I send a fleet to Station there will they fight the blockading force? -- nm - Beaker May 21, 13:50 7
- yes -- (link) - marcel May 21, 13:54 1
  - merci. gonna crush him -- nm - Beaker May 21, 13:55
- Your own city? -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:52 4
  - yes, bugger is blockading mine -- nm - Beaker May 21, 13:52 3
    - and the odd thing is he is just blockading. No pillage attempt or anything. weird -- nm - Beaker May 21, 13:55 2
      - Maybe he was away from the computer (you know, longer trip tiome fro fleet and all) and will be back? -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:58 1
        
        maybe, but I'm still going to kick his ass...and then pull down that colony (which I had planned to do anyway) -- nm - Beaker May 21, 14:05
Dammit, join a fight vs an inactive; win it and still get no pillage. - Will Hunting May 21, 13:50 2
- ?? Yesterday, my 10 slingers joined over 1k troops in one and I got 10% of the loot. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:51 1
  - Maybe this guy was guarding an empty town, I dunno, but it doesn't look like anything was pillaged. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 13:52
20-1?! -- nm - Subversive May 21, 13:49 5
- NO SHUTOUT FOR YOU!!!!! nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 13:50 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - still only counts as one W. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 14:02
- Rally! -- nm - TFox May 21, 13:49 1
  - just 19 quick ones and they're right back in it! -- nm - mafic May 21, 13:51
