Lost Spoils questions - pmb May 24, 11:52 6
- Spoiler - David May 24, 11:57
- spoil - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:56
- Yeah, that's why I'd like to see... - Dr.Vermin May 24, 11:56

  - I winced at the look of the water. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 11:55
  - I noticed that too. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:55
Treme, on the other hand, was outstanding again last night - sideways pixie May 24, 11:49 15
- i've been watching this for *weeks* in the faint hope that at some point a plot would develop...nm - x May 24, 11:50
- Season 2 last few episodes of True Blood - has jumped the shark - Epiphany May 24, 11:50 6
  - that storyline was a bit weird, but I'll watch anything with Michelle Forbes in it -- nm - crash davis May 24, 11:55
  - You meant Season 1, Episode 2, right? It's a ridiculous show and yet I still watch it. - Fuzzy May 24, 11:52 4
    - Spartacus is solid though. Much more substance then I ever thought it was going to have. -- nm - Jovian May 24, 11:54 3
      - So much sex, I mean substance. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:58
      - *cuts to another over-the-top crowd scene* -- nm - Fuzzy May 24, 11:55
      - Word. -- nm - Jim May 24, 11:54
- I wonder if HBO regrets renewing this yet? -- nm - MDH May 24, 11:50 6
  - why would they? -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:50 5
    - The ratings have tanked since the first week. - MDH May 24, 11:51 3
      - same ratings as The Wire -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:53 2
        
        The might be lower. The past few weeks it's been less than 600k, and a .2 18-49 -- nm - MDH May 24, 11:55 1
        
        clearly they need more awesome CSI graphics shit -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:56
    - Stephen is really into it as well - if I recall -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 11:51

- I thought that was obvious the first time it happened to him. - Mel Profit May 24, 11:48 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - got it. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 11:50
- See! We gave ya answers!! -- nm - Cuse & Lindelhof May 24, 11:47
Lost (spoilers) i don't know if we talked about this - MDH May 24, 11:42 1
- I thought they looked like - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:43
Also (Lost spoilers) - David May 24, 11:35 16
- i still think that (previous season spoilers) - x May 24, 11:41 2
  - I am not joking when I say... - David May 24, 11:55 1
    - agreed. i actually enjoyed the sprawling byways, myself. but there was certainly a wheat/chaff issue overall....nm - x May 24, 11:58
- But (spoils) - Will Hunting May 24, 11:37 4
  - Spoils - David May 24, 11:39 1
    - And modesty. (nm) - Will Hunting May 24, 11:40
  - he was a consistent harbringer of doom from the first season. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:38 1
    - in fairness to Vincent, a plane breaking up in two and crashing is a pretty clear harbinger of doom by itself -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:41
- dogs are smart (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 11:36 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:38
- but spoils - tRuMaN May 24, 11:36 5
  - yeah, spell it backwards -- nm - crash davis May 24, 11:37 4
    - i know, it just proves everything! - tRuMaN May 24, 11:38 3
      - Then the should have had him run through the doors (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 11:39 1
        
        and do cartwheels on the lawn. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 11:49
      - that is the direction I wanted the series to go in -- nm - crash davis May 24, 11:39
Apart from the imitators, CSI changed the game for other cop shows. L&O had to start incorporating forensics. Plus, it spawned - loosilu May 24, 11:27 35
- But end of the day, it's just a procedural. Week in, week out...same ol same ol. - Will Hunting May 24, 11:31 19
  - I diasgree 100%. I think while it may not get as much press. CSI has proven to be one of the most influential shows in decades. -- nm - MDH May 24, 11:34 6
    - When it disappears, it'll be just another police procedural gone. - Will Hunting May 24, 11:37 5
      - Side note, 24's series finale is a getting a lot less press (and interest in people that I've seen) that I imagined. -- nm - MDH May 24, 11:39 4
        
        If they'd stopped before hitting ludicrous speed...they had a chance. - Will Hunting May 24, 11:44
        
        Because it was over a few seasons ago. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:43 2
        
        they finally ran out of time -- nm - crash davis May 24, 11:46 1
        
        Should that statement have involved sunglasses in some way? -- nm - Fuzzy May 24, 11:48
  - how can you say in the same sentence that there are 105 shows like that, but it didn't spawn anything? -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:32 11
    - There's nothing unique about what it did....it didn't change the game. There were process shows on (L&O predates it by a decade) - Will Hunting May 24, 11:34 10
      - and by the way, I was told by real forensic scientists and lawyers that CSI changed their jobs and even had an impact on real crime. - loosilu May 24, 11:37 4
        
        it's been horrible for prosecutions. if juries can't get CSI level forensics, they think they can't convict someone -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:39 3
        
        eh, they had the same complaint about Perry Mason, even Homicide LOTS said that people expected prints, DNA shoe impressions, ballistics and 4 witness -- nm - zeitgeist May 24, 11:55
        
        exactly. and it may very well have made criminals smarter. If that's not influential, I don't know what is. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:39 1
        
        but it is a force for evil - witness what you both discussed, and then throw in prolonging David Caruso's career and I smell brimstone -- nm - crash davis May 24, 11:41
      - We must be watching different shows, because the show spurred huge national interest in criminalistics. - MDH May 24, 11:36 3
        
        there was an enormous surge of interest in it as a career. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:37 2
        
        A friend of mine works in Baltimore's crime lab - MDH May 24, 11:40 1
        
        I briefly studied forensic anthropology and it was very marginal at the time (about 15 years ago). You were seen as a freak. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:44
      - ok, I'll give you that ... but the tools it introduced totally took over. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:35
- Exactly! - MDH May 24, 11:29 14
  - and we couldn't have a show like Bones if CSI hadn't happened. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:30 13
    - Since the first book was published a few years before CSI, I disagree. - the wrong element, bad guy May 24, 11:37 5
      - disagree. that just means she was late to her own party. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:38 4
        
        Because every author's goal is to have their books televised ASAP. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy May 24, 11:44 3
        
        not the point. Her show is not the one with all the influence. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:47 2
        
        I never said it was. - the wrong element, bad guy May 24, 11:55 1
        
        I think it absolutely was dependent on CSI being on TV first. - loosilu May 24, 11:57
    - and then what would Emily Deschanel have done? - sideways pixie May 24, 11:32 6
      - Something worthwhile, perhaps. nm - Dignan May 24, 11:36
      - If we're lucky...me. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 11:34
      - German cabaret? -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:33
      - Still been hotter than her sister? -- nm - Jim May 24, 11:33 2
        
        incorrect, again. -- nm - tRuMaN May 24, 11:36 1
        
        I left you a music request on a few boards back - Epiphany May 24, 11:52
So ive been watching the first 6 episodes of Firefly on Hulu - eag May 24, 11:26 27
- if you're watching in episode # order, the next 4 are outstanding - Reagen May 24, 11:29 16
  - Oh I dig it - eag May 24, 11:33
  - I'm trying to remember when I watched them, I was unsold until about the 4th or 5th episode. I thought it was #6 that turned me, but I could be wrong -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 11:32 14
    - #6 is Our Mrs. Reynolds. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:32 13
      - The fact that my wife didn't find Christina Hendricks hot in that episode proves to me she's no lesbian. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 11:37 6
        
        My straight female friends and I were totally talking about her rack while we watched. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:39 3
        
        Heh. Meg tries to make up for it. She's all about Christina Hendricks now. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 11:41 1
        
        She's trying to hard - it's an obvious go to girl -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 11:49
        
        then you made out. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:40
        
        ha -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:38
        
        50 Spawn Points -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:38
      - I was just looking at IMDB and it seems they have them 'airing' order, and that was #4. No wonder. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 11:35
      - Hello, boobs. nm - Dignan May 24, 11:35
      - Thats the one ive started watching -- nm - eag May 24, 11:34 2
        
        You might need to take a meeting or two. Plan accordingly. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 11:35 1
        
        I love the music intro to it. -- nm - eag May 24, 11:38
      - that is what did it for me -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 11:33
- you've watched about six too many -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:27
- overrated *clap clap clap clap clap*....nm - x May 24, 11:27 3
  - Qi Shu is an ugmo. -- nm - David May 24, 11:37
  - you know we totally line up on this - sideways pixie May 24, 11:28 1
    - blind squirel, nut, etc...nm - x May 24, 11:29
- Keep watching. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:26 4
  - Oh I plan to - eag May 24, 11:29 3
    - When they we airing, I felt the same way as you. - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:30 2
      - So is the movie a retelling of sorts of the series ? - eag May 24, 11:40 1
        
        Movie last. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:44
Aside from Phil Hartman, has The Simpsons lost any regular or semi-regular cast members? - Fuzzy May 24, 11:25 3
- Maggie Roswell (Maude Flanders, other random female voices) left the show for a few years, but came back. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:27 2
  - oh, is that why they (spoiler) - zeitgeist May 24, 11:58
  - oh, and Doris Grau (Lunchlady Doris). -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:32

- Me, to my wife last night during the Kimmell show: "Emilie is a hottie. Of course the Austrailian accent helps. - JaxSean May 24, 11:27
- (if IMDb is right, she's my height). - Callisto May 24, 11:26 1
  - Hmmm...you didn't strike me as short...Claire looked miniature last night. -- nm - Jim May 24, 11:30
- Yeah, we made the same comment. She made Elisabeth Mitchell look like the tallest player in the WNBA. -- nm - David May 24, 11:25 3
  - Haha -- nm - MDH May 24, 11:25 2
    - btw, I think NCIS was a spinoff from JAG, not CSI -- nm - crash davis May 24, 11:26 1
      - spinoff != imitator. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:28
- So is Lilly. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:25
- that was my exact reaction - Reagen May 24, 11:25 1
  - [deleted]
Apichatpong Weerasekathul sounds like something we need to wear ribbons for to support finding a cure -- nm - crash davis May 24, 11:24 1
- sounds like something they sacrificed virgins to in old mexico -- nm - zeitgeist May 24, 12:00
I actually would have been happier with (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 11:23 8
- that wouldn't have worked, really - znufrii May 24, 11:26 7
  - AND...for Ben (spoils) - Jim May 24, 11:27 6
    - I also think Ben is the real tragic character of the series. spoil. - loosilu May 24, 11:30 4
      - In the end though...he chose it. (spoils) - Jim May 24, 11:32 3
        
        he took what he could get. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 11:40 2
        
        I think... - Mel Profit May 24, 11:58 1

    - well, it only seemed fitting given that (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 11:28
One minor LOST disappointment (spoils) - znufrii May 24, 11:23
i'm bummed Vincent didn't get his own sideways story :( -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:23 14
- it'd be like an hourlong version of those snausages commercials....nm - x May 24, 11:25 1
  - he could have been a K-9 unit at LAX! -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 11:26
- Remember Vincent's family, Michael and Walt? -- nm - David May 24, 11:24 9
  - i think one of those two was supposed to be "special"....nm - x May 24, 11:27
  - Irrelevant. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:25 4
    - What about that baby, Aaron? Remember how his going back to the island was the key to everything? -- nm - David May 24, 11:27 3
      - You know what *was* the key to everything (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 11:31
      - He's the (spoils) - JaxSean May 24, 11:29
      - He (spoil) - Nightcrawler May 24, 11:28
  - Who? -- nm - Carlton Cuse May 24, 11:25 2
    - They were like on the show and there was an allusion to the fact that Walt was the key to everything. Ring any bells? -- nm - David May 24, 11:26 1
      - Maybe (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 11:27
- that could have been the greatest hour of TV ever. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 11:24
