  1. Re:Buffy jumped the Shark! on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 2

    "Once More.." was the title of the musical episode. Hush WAS great. Emmy nominated even, not that that means shit these days. I would put that as #3 on my list of great Buffy episodes.

  2. Re:Buffy jumped the Shark! on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 2

    If you really thought this episode sucked I'll respect your opinion. I think it is probably the second best episode of Buffy ever. Of course last seasons "The Body" takes top honors there.

    "Once More, With Feeling" was probably the most untevision like show I've ever seen on TV. It was ballsy and quite cool.

    Oh yea, I watch a lot of shows that are way worse than ED. Hey, I'm a media planner. It's kind of my job to know whats on.

    Did you just say that to get the Jump the Shark reference in? Seriously. Once they use the phrase on a national TV show (last weeks ED) it is no longer cool to use

    Yea, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that point. As would all of the people at mightybigtv. Check it out for all of your Buffy and Enterprise recap needs.

  4. Re:Buffy Musical on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 2

    I actually thought the songs were pretty good. I did think the story was compelling because they basically opened up a whole basket of worms with the Giles leaving / Tara finding out about Willow / Spike&Buffy Kiss. Not to mention the previews with Giles and Anya kissing. I thought this season was seriously sucking until this ep.

    I highly recommend watching the episode more than once. It's available on morpheus

    Viva La Buffy!

    The president is speaking tonight. 25 minute speech followed by the standard 5 minute talking head wrap up. Don't know if Fox carries national news in your area but they do in mine (Chicago).

    Now my VCR and Tivo settings are all fucked up.

  6. Buffy Musical on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    Taco you post a story about Morpheus and then bitch about not being able to get the Buffy Musical. Let's think about that huh?

    I downloaded the entire episode less than an hour after it had aired.

    Not to mention that all of the songs have been mp3ed are on Morpheus too.

    Happy hunting

    Well? Is that true?

    I read the cnet article and went to the apple store but there was no mention of anything.

    The mention of firewire and iTunes make me suspect it is only a mac peripheral. And that would suck.

    Any help here?

    Why on earth would you take a ~$300 piece of electronics to a BAR with you? Only bad things could happen. I'm assuming if you are geeky enough to have a pda then you have a cel phone that can store a bazillion numbers anyway. Just bring that, it's actually useful.

Sorry for the blatant plug, but I thought this was something that everyone might enjoy. Ahh, who am I kidding, this is just going to overload the server more. Don't click the link.

    Seriously. I know we all blame software and website TOS for all the ills in the world but when it's your CC# and bank account it pays to read the fine print. Paypal is a middle man. End of story. Everyone has a sad tale of getting fucked selling something over the internet. Fortunately it is generelallythe exception and not the rule.

    OK its late I'm sorta drunk (ok really drunk) so I apologize for my grammar and the standard IANATroll apply.

    Do you subscribe to magazines?

    Got ads there. Even have to pay for the privledge to see them. Ok, so you obviouly don't do that.

    Newspapers?

    See magazines above.

    Do you have cable?

    Ads there too. Ad free channels (HBO, etc.) cost even more on top of the regular cable fees. Ok, so no cable for you.

    Watch regular TV?

    Commercials. But it's free. Unless you are one of those people who only watch PBS but never contribuite. In which case you're (not 'you' specifically, anyone who does this) just a cheap bastard.

    Salon.com?

    (I know, work with me here). Commercials, but it's free and you don't have access to all the content. Or no commercials and access to all the content. Is anyone else seeing the TV analogy here too? Yes? Good.

    Bills have to be paid. There are four options for this:
    a) Charge for content
    b) Ads
    d) donations
    c) A&B

    IANATroll, but I like Salon and you just bashed it. I feel like I need to stick up for it or something. I also think your rational is baseless.

    Word. As one who reads it 'cover to cover' every day I can say that it is the best $50 (Two year sub) I ever spent. Their coverage of the 9/11/01 stuff has been fantastic.

    Salon is one of the last independant journalism sites out there. They have no relationship with AOL/TIME, Viacom, Microsoft, or errr...Anybody that would make them even halfway biased (Aside from the occasional liberal slant). If you want it to survive I highly recommend subscribing. I know lots of you kids are poor college students and whatnot, but I know there are lots of people here that read Salon on a regular basis (cause it gets linked to a lot). Pony up people! It is probably the most worth media cause out there (besides PBS/NPR). Uhh...if there could be such a thing.

    You know what I mean.

    I hate to tell you it is. Binny has taken Islam and twisted it into his own fucked up religion. To say that this isn't a religous battle is insane. It might not be on our end, but the other side certainly believes it to be.

    I think Mr. Blair is implying that through their actions they have forteited any right to life they may have.

    Unfortunately a massive military retaliation won't accomplish the desired goal. Any sort of reaction needs to be surgical. Binny's hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan right now. He needs to be drawn out.

    As for people not seeing arabs as human right now, you have to allow for some reactionary sentiment after a tragedy like this. People need someone to blame. Somewhere to direct their anger. Arabs are simply the easiest target for this blame.

    I support any military action that my country may take to retalliate for the horror that has been inflicted upon it.
