- three humans, two cats. And my mac mini, which I have nicknamed Spartan. - Beryllium Sep 9, 16:27
You know, even if Joe is right, and I think he was just being a crotchety old man, that doesn't make Rudy's story any less inspirational. - Stephen Sep 9, 16:25 1
- As I told Kim, it's fitting that the best player on the team didn't appreciate the importance of Rudy's accomplishment. -- nm - David Sep 9, 16:26
This article about the "thousand-yard stare" has a photo of a marine that looks like Ben Affleck. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 9, 16:23
Look at that little fucker! -- nm - Rex Ryan Sep 9, 16:23
What the heck is Claire Danes doing an eyelash commercial? -- nm - the liioulu with chocolate cake recipes Sep 9, 16:17 7

  - mostly. the LVPD investigators have a solid case -- nm - peglegpete Sep 9, 16:20
So Nikita is basically capitalizing on Burn Notice, yes? -- nm - Max Sep 9, 16:08 18
- Filling the Alias void more than anything. -- nm - David Sep 9, 16:17 8
  - Alias/24>Burn Notice/Chuck>Human Target/Covert Affairs>Nikita/Undercovers - ? Sep 9, 16:23 6
    - I don't know what you're saying, but if you're implying that 24 is better than Human Target, you're wrong. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 16:25 3
      - No, I was just looking for an evolution of the spy genres. Those pairs debuted at the same time. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 16:25 2
        
        When Alias debuted, it was a transparent ripoff of Nikita like The Mentalist is with Psych. - David Sep 9, 16:31
        
        ah, I understand. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 16:26

- But really, this is a story that happens all the time. Everyone gets reborn as an assassin and then burned at some point in their life, right? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 16:10
- ...with *sexy* results -- nm - prayformojo Sep 9, 16:10
- To be fair, it's source material pre-dates Burn Notice by over a decade. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, ;) Sep 9, 16:09 6
  - even so. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 16:12 3
    - Disregarding the age of the original movie, I'd be more apt to accuse it of stealing from Bourne Identity or Alias, as David says above. - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 16:19 2
      - But what I mean is, the reason we're seeing it now is because of the success of Burn Notice. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 16:24 1
        
        Definitely arguable. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 16:25
