Slashdot Mirror
The Lone Gunmen Are Dead
Mike Perry (And many,many others) writes: "In an astounding move after the cancellation of the show, Chris Carter killed
off the Lone Gunmen in tonight's episode of the X-Files. After a short
introduction that re-introduced the group as trying to save "a world that isn't too kind
to idealists," the episode progressed until the Gunmen realized their destiny
with Langley's quotes about Joey Ramone, and then Byer's quote "We never gave
up, and we never will. In the end, if that's all they can say about us, it'll
do." The episode then built to an ending where the Gunmen group gave their
lives to thwart a bio-terrorist financed by a business tycoon.I don't know about you guys, but back in the prime of the X-Files, these guys
were as close a role model as I could find on television as a kid. I was
deeply disappointed with the cancellation of the show (sure the pilot sucked,
but the next few episodes were good). I feel glad that these characters were
allowed to retire with dignity before the end of the show."
CD: Oops, sorry about the spoiler, when I scheduled the post I miscalculated the timing. I know, I'm evil. I promise I won't ruin the next 4 episodes or however many they have left.
Yeah not since Sneakers had we seen real hacking.
Way to go, fuckmonkeys. Hey by the way, Darth Vader was Luke's father.
slashdot's entire cultural coverge is pretty weak and needs an overhaul
Am I the only one who thinks that cultural coverage for nerds is like visual arts coverage for the blind?
It may be cold, but at least it's clear.
The concept of the Lone Gunmen being buried in Arlington is just so completely wrong I don't know where to begin.
Wow, nothing could've brought home the fact that sci-fi on tv sucks now, like that one sentence.
sic transit gloria mundi
So here will be tonights hockey score in the Detroit vs. Vancouver game.
Detroit - 2
Vancouver - 3
It was decided in overtime.
Oh, and yes, Peter Parker is also Spiderman.
Anyhow, it's 9pm on the west coast so no real point in changing titles (something we are loathe to do), and well, a big apology to everyone who cares, and a big overall apology to people further along the dateline who we probably regularly ruin shows for. (But it is just TV, after all)

the fact that your role model is TV. And even moreso, fictional TV.

This is not a spoiler. It's your own damn fault for reading it. Don't you know that the great slashdot blackout is going on?
You ever hear of something called the Earth? See, there are *many other countries* out there that doesn't get TV shows in the exact same *year* YOU do.
deus does not exist but if he does
I though the internet took three more hours to reach the west coast too!
If it was William Shatner it would have been

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Slashdot is always wreaking my fun! Like when ever there's a big news story I want to be the last one to hear about it. But it always fucking shows up on Slashdot before I get a chance to sit down in front of my TV to watch the news. And man that makes me really really mad! I hate it when a news service that I dont pay 1 cent for makes an error!!!
COULD I FEEL ANY FUCKING OLDER RIGHT NOW?
When you were a kid!?!?!
Jesus, I need a beer.
