I disagree with his #1 - the terrorists almost always have shadowy domestic capitalists and Halliburton-esque companies secretly manipulating them -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 14:18 6
- but Jack's always beset on all sides by government meddling, isn't he? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 14:20 1
  - And he's always faced with two options - do something soul-destroying, or let innocent people die. There's never a third one. -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 14:22
- I'd say it was moreso in the earlier seasons. -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 14:19 3
  - Off the top of my head, seasons 2, 5, 6 and 7 -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 14:21 2
    - To clarify, I intended to say it was moreso conservative but I totally failed to account for the context of the post I was replying to. -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 14:23 1
      - Ah - understood -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 14:24
it's good to know there are men and women out there who still know how to work for a living. - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 14:17 1
- Well, it's conservative. Not necessarily republican. It's anti-welfare, anti-government-handouts. - Beryllium Jun 2, 14:18
a list that ranks Firefly as #2 behind 24? Interesting. - Beryllium Jun 2, 14:15
Tom Miller? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 2, 14:12 17
- The link within that post links to Hawth's site. -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 14:13 16
  - That's Hawth? His idea of good TV is "The Apprentice"? - musubi Jun 2, 14:14 14
    - the first time we happened on the blog was a real eye opener. - Mel Profit Jun 2, 14:18 2
      - Absolutely. nm - Dignan Jun 2, 14:37
      - agree with your IM. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 2, 14:23
    - Nevermind, reading closer, I get that his criteria wasn't really quality. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 14:17 5
      - though his qualifications include "Good TV. No "Highway to Heaven" or the like, they must be shows that you can talk about with some measure of pride" -- nm - Callisto Jun 2, 14:19 4
        
        I missed that. And yet he includes Walker, Texas Ranger, The Apprentice and Hunter? WTF? (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 14:20
        
        uh. Highway to Heaven was an awesome show. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 14:19 2
        
        i love Highway to Heaven. seriously -- nm - wheezy Jun 2, 14:20
        
        (along with The Littlest Hobo and My Secret Identity) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 14:19
    - It's a list that brings together shows with conservative and capitalist characters or assertions. Apprentice counts. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 14:16 4
      - I don't think of The Cosby show as a conservative show, nor his character. - Krusty Jun 2, 14:22 3
        
        Family values. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 2, 14:53
        
        It always strikes me how far out they have to cast their net to politicize things. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 14:35 1
        
        Goes to show the size of the liberal conspiracy -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 14:36
  - Ahh. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 2, 14:13
