Heh. My Mom: "Last night was the only episode I ever saw. What's the big deal? I understood everything." -- nm - nubby May 24, 17:51 1
- except why Kate was in 2 different outfits from the time she...spoiler - peglegpete May 24, 17:53
so tired ... finally leaving work - this week is going to suck (covering for others on vacation) -- nm - JenBro May 24, 17:48
LYC: rumor mill says Baby A has a name now. Eli Joseph. - loosilu May 24, 17:48 6
- Payton! -- nm - nubby May 24, 17:53 1
  - (Peyton) -- nm - nubby May 24, 17:53
- nice name -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 17:49 3
  - I like it a lot. My money is on Caleb for B. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:50 2
    - have they asked you for a name or 2? -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 17:51 1
      - oh no, I don't get involved at all in names. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:54
Okay... That was fun. The rainbow apparently heralded Armageddon. Hail, tornado sirens, high winds... Fun for all. -- nm - TWuG May 24, 17:42 5
- I have never seen a tornado, except in my dreams, where I see them a lot. - loosilu May 24, 17:43 4
  - I didn't know they had tornado sirens outside of small Oklahoma towns. -- nm - ty97 May 24, 17:52
  - the house I grew up in survived two direct hits. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:48 2
    - wow. were you there? -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:48 1
      - for one of them. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:48
Did we know that MADtv had its series finale last week? - Reagen May 24, 17:40 3
- Was Shego there? -- nm - David May 24, 17:43 1
  - the last time I watched the show, Artie Lange still had a promising career. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:43
- It's about the characters. -- nm - Dano May 24, 17:40
What do we think about The Avett Brothers? Blue October? Carolina Liar? Lifehouse? -- nm - Dano May 24, 17:34 7
- Love Avett Brothers. -- nm - nubby May 24, 17:50
- We *love* Blue October. Great concert band, too. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 17:44 1
  - Yep, definitely like them live. -- nm - ty97 May 24, 17:45
- I like Blue October (though they are hit and miss at times). - ty97 May 24, 17:36 3
  - We like Avett Brothers. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:39 2
    - I don't know if I should trust the opinion of someone who called me an assface. -- nm - Dano May 24, 17:40 1
      - That's going to narrow the field down considerably. Fortunately for you, b! has pretty good taste. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:42
I remember when Europe thought we were so funny for making a big deal out of Bill Clinton getting a BJ. - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 24, 17:32 5
- hell, I don't get why access to the royals is beneficial. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:37 1
  - That was my first thought as well. It's not like buying your way to meet the Prime Minister. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 24, 17:42
- the royals own essentially all the land in England and the whole population works toward supporting their ultra-wealth - sideways pixie May 24, 17:34 2
  - I was going to say no big deal, but 1/2 a million quid just to talk to Prince Andrew? - Reagen May 24, 17:37 1
    - exactly. he's just a dope with a title. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:41
I loved the Target ads during the Lost finale. -- nm - the liioulu with 90, in May, in Chicago May 24, 17:32 5
- I skipped them. can you spoil what was so great? -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:39 4
  - Looks like spoofs. Watch for yourself -- (link) - ty97 May 24, 17:43 3
    - am planning to rewatch the episode so I'll check out the ads then. thanks! -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:47
    - (note: watching now, I think only the first one might be a real) -- nm - ty97 May 24, 17:44 1
      - They're all real, but they have a Lost theme. -- nm - the liioulu with 90, in May, in Chicago May 24, 17:49
i will promise you all this. if/when i ever sell a show into syndication, i will put on Survivor Slicker Talk for real somewhere - sideways pixie May 24, 17:31 2
- Dibs on being the Jeff Probst Host - JenBro May 24, 17:38 1
  - No one has mentioned it yet, but I thought the first alternate ending was hilarious. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:39
Seth Meyers via Twitter: "My relationship with Lost was Jack/Kate. Ups and downs but in the end I would make out with it on a cliff." - loosilu May 24, 17:30 5
- I had to google who Seth Meyers was. He doesn't look like a guy who makes out a lot. -- nm - David May 24, 17:37 1
  - but he *would*. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:38
- Seth Meyers, via Twitter? - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:31 2
  - with the lead pipe. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:35
  - Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra! -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:33
There's a full arc rainbow out my front door. - TWuG May 24, 17:28 2
- znu? -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:37 1
  - he or the great space coaster -- nm - CQ May 24, 17:38
Random TV thought - I have started to belatedly watch The Big Bang Theory. I like it. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:27 11
- I have been forced to watch it numerous times, and don't find it that funny. just lots of nerd cliches. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:38 1
  - I rarely have custody of the remote, so I'm happy any time I don't have to watch Seinfeld for the 3000th time. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:43
- Maybe down under they did away with the laugh track? -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:33 6
  - On a sidenote, Kim noticed last week that How I Met Your Mother has a terrible laugh track. - David May 24, 17:44 1
    - I never noticed it but after looking it up, it does indeed use a laugh track. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 17:52
  - You know, I haven't noticed it. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:36 3
    - lol, I love the show and I never noticed the laugh track till ST mentioned it. Now its all I hear! I curse ST sometimes -- nm - Jovian May 24, 17:40 2
      - At the end of one of the episodes the vanity card shows the audience and the comment from Chuck Lorre was that it's a live audience and not a laugh - Krusty May 24, 17:46 1
        
        Here's the vanity card with the picture. -- (link) - Krusty May 24, 17:49 [Image]
- The title never really pays off, if that's why you're watching. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 17:33
- advance spoiler notice, nobody tell Wiggums what happened to the elevator :) -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 17:31
One thing that was touched on earlier today, but after looking over the schedule grids, I don't think there's a single show out there right now that - Reagen May 24, 17:25 8
- yeah, can't think of any. too bad, it's fun. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:40
- Grey's Anatomy will, whenever it's up - sideways pixie May 24, 17:28 2
  - I think this is right. Does CSI have a mythology of some sort? -- nm - David May 24, 17:38 1
    - sort of not really. CSI Miami, OTOH... -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:44
- HIMYM? nm - Dignan May 24, 17:26 3
  - This was the only show that came to mind that really has an overarching plot stretched over seasons. - Tim May 24, 17:27 2
    - I think Fringe has more of an overarching plot than HIMYM. - the wrong element, bad guy May 24, 17:32 1
      - Easily. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:34
A selfish request - you guys are doing a great job so far, but please don't spoil the BSG finale. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:16 13
- BSG had a finale!!! Spoiler!! - the liioulu with 90, in May, in Chicago May 24, 17:29
- 1978, 1980, or 2004? -- nm - Dano May 24, 17:26 4
  - All of them, you spoiling assface. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:28 3
    - I'll just say that it ends with a Daggit. -- nm - Dano May 24, 17:33 2
      - Nice. I think you just managed to both disappoint wiggum and raise pixie's hopes. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy May 24, 17:35 1
        
        Those two things often go together. -- nm - Dano May 24, 17:36
- Crap. Sorry, wiggums. nm - Dignan May 24, 17:19 2
  - (Wait, I think it was The Sopranos that I commented on. Screw you, wiggums. Apology rescinded.) nm - Dignan May 24, 17:21 1
    - Awww, screw you very much, baby. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:23
- Whoops, sorry. -- nm - David May 24, 17:18 3
  - It's been a long time, so I know it's mainly my responsibility. I just haven't had a chance to catch up with the last half season. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 17:22 2
    - Like, when are you planning to do that? -- nm - David May 24, 17:41
    - even though i watched the finale against all better judgment, i won't ruin it for you - sideways pixie May 24, 17:25
Curious. Did Firefly have a proper finale? Or would Serenity be considered it? - Jovian May 24, 17:10 2
- The final episode aired is encapsulated enough to make it feel like closure but the movie is full closure. -- nm - David May 24, 17:13
- it more or less closes the door, yes. - Reagen May 24, 17:11
one good thing about bus commuting? - TFox May 24, 17:10 5
- I hope you don't mind my asking... - b. May 24, 17:12 4
  - no i don't mind you asking at all. i did quit. and entered therapy and so on. - TFox May 24, 17:20 3
    - very cool. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 17:42
    - oh good. - b. May 24, 17:21 1
      - that said, if i'm ever on here misspelling my words and trying to Redmond every woman on the board... - TFox May 24, 17:30
Remember when there was so much Survivor talk we had to move it to the Summer Board? -- nm - Dano May 24, 17:09 3
- the wayback machine does! -- (link) - sideways pixie May 24, 17:13 2
  - (also, big Harry Potter casting news there) -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 17:16 1
    - remake fatigue was already setting in 10 years ago too -- (link) - sideways pixie May 24, 17:26
(I'm totally with kilbo.) Lost spoils - Dignan May 24, 17:08 11
- Your last paragraph was the best part of it. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:12
- my first "lost" post today!: I told my sister that what's in your last paragraph was my biggest gripe. - b. May 24, 17:11 9
  - spoil - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:12 8
    - I googled, and it's all laid out in the link I've attached - as dig. said, they... (spoilery) - b. May 24, 17:15 6
      - They have always admitted that one of their show's strengths is the input form the audience. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:25
      - spoil - Dignan May 24, 17:18 4
        
        Hmm. I see it as a completely different circumstance. I mean, the island vs LA? -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:26 3
        
        I pick LA. The island doesn't have Dodger Dogs. -- nm - David May 24, 17:40
        
        spoil - Dignan May 24, 17:29 1
        
        I think it was more that they knew how it was going to end, and enjoyed making the statement. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 17:32
    - spoil - Dignan May 24, 17:14
Chuck spoils - Jovian May 24, 17:07
I gave the BSG finale an A?? hmmm, it had to have been the first viewing and before I had a chance to absorb. (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 16:58 15
- i may never understand backlash against this finale. - TFox May 24, 17:15 3
  - I know I am overly harsh on it. (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 17:19
  - I understand the backlash but I was quite satisfied with the ending, even the sad part. -- nm - David May 24, 17:16 1
    - as I've said...I really liked the Finale. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 17:19
- Everyone in that thread did, yes. -- nm - David May 24, 17:07
- This Lost is going to end up, like, a J for you then. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 16:59 9
  - nah, the Lost finale is right up there with Six Feet, always and forever. -- nm - Jovian May 24, 17:00 8
    - I'm just saying, everyone of those issue has a parallel with Lost's finale. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:01 7
      - It matters less with Lost. I think that is the divide. BSG went the diametrically opposed way and tried to give answers, some of which were - David May 24, 17:11 2
        
        strangely I'm more fine with it with BSG, but that's probably just because that series strayed less - Reagen May 24, 17:13 1
        
        "Would any explanation have been satisfactory." That is absolutely correct. -- nm - David May 24, 17:15
      - nah (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 17:03 3
        
        Yeah, Lost never had magic characters. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:09 2
        
        sigh! of course they did. But that was Lost. And they werent main characters. -- nm - Jovian May 24, 17:12 1
        
        Desmond may as well be a wizard. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:13
poll: david or dignan? who will come back with actual "lost" point count first? -- nm - b. May 24, 16:57 9
- I think it's a fun thing to take note of but I don't care enough to count individually. -- nm - David May 24, 17:01 1
  - Boo! We paid for blood! -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:02
- It'll take me long enough to read them. nm - Dignan May 24, 17:01
- dignan doesn't give a rat's rump because he knows he's right. why count? -- nm - workmanda May 24, 16:58 3
  - He replied a lot for someone who didn't give a rat's rump. -- nm - David May 24, 17:06
  - he "dude"'d. -- nm - b. May 24, 17:01 1
    - It was that or count. -- nm - David May 24, 17:05
- does it matter? - sideways pixie May 24, 16:58 1
  - of course not. -- nm - b. May 24, 17:00
move over once, move over twice, comeon honey don't be cold as ice... -- nm - zeitgeist May 24, 16:57
"(Facebook friend) joined the group By taking our Rebel Flag, they're taking our pride." -- nm - David May 24, 16:55 6
- *unfriend* -- nm - znufrii May 24, 17:37
- lafarrow is *crazy* -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 17:00
- it's difficult for me to properly process shit like this. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 16:58 2
  - This is the one place where a Nazi analogy is apt. -- nm - David May 24, 17:04 1
    - 500 years of settlement and that's the crap they take pride in? -- nm - Reagen May 24, 17:06
- Great. - nubby May 24, 16:55
dude -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 16:52 7
- I still think - Reagen May 24, 16:55 2
  - oh, and - Reagen May 24, 16:57 1
    - yea, can we get that series on Cinemax please? -- nm - Jovian May 24, 17:00
- bro. -- nm - workmanda May 24, 16:54 1
  - brus! -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 16:54
