    Man, I hope not. I love Claudia. I don't want to see her go down the same road as MacPherson. Make Lena do it. She's dead weight anyway.

    They thought about him, but they didn't think a movie where Superman is stuck in a two mile radius of Metropolis would be interesting

    I realize this is going to make me sound like a pathetic Eureka anorak, but actually the first scene of the series was Howard whatshisface in his basement as his tachyon accelerator goes nutty. It then cut to Jack and Zoe in the car.

    In the pilot, Zoe thought she saw a car carrying her and Carter pass them going the opposite direction as they drove into Eureka for the first time. Carter even said "High beams, jackPANCAKE." as the other car approached.

    Yeah, I loved seeing Taggart and Lojack, and Zoe again. I'd forgotten how great those characters are. I really missed the chemistry between Jack and Tag. It's too bad there wasn't more interaction between the two.

    No, EMO was in an episode last season. The one where Jack takes Kevin, Fargo, and Gr. Grant camping and they get chased by Tiny, the Titan rover.

    Send it down here. I promise it'll be a massive failure regardless of how good it is.

    Yeah, I liked it too. It's a good bookend for the series.

    Dinosaurs as in sentient beings evolved from dinosaurs, or dinosaurs as in "OMG the velociraptos can use doors!"?
  10. I hope they finally let Fargo keep a girlfriend. Poor guy is the show's relationship butt-monkey.
  11. Looks awesome, but is Tress MacNeille not in that thing? Cause if she's not that's totally fraked up.
  12. I stumbled across that a few months ago when I heard news that MAXIS had... a certain thing in development. As much as I get a good laugh out of it, I'm afraid I'll have to admit that my cities weren't a whole lot better.

  14. He had a good run, but I'll still miss his awesomeness.
  15. That thing is just gorram creepy. Don't they run these things through focus groups? You'd think someone would've stood up and told them that the Furby looks like it's going to steal your soul.

    It has long been my wish that the devs would prune the hero side contact tree to get rid of the redundant contacts (there's really no need for two or three contacts who have the exact same missions and dialog) and add personality to the ones left over. Alternatively, the redundant contacts could be re-purposed and given new missions/story arcs.

    If it was as simple as a forgotten book, the library probably would've accepted its return and left it at that. I work at a library, so believe me when I say that libraries would much rather have borrowed items returned than have to go through the trouble of replacing them. It makes things easier for everyone, especially in the case of DVDs and the like, since those have to be the expensive copies with public viewing rights.

    I'll also add that it is a rare pleasure to deal with a patron who returns their late book and pays their fine without any whining or arm-twisting.

    For me it would be "Why is the Illusive Man lecturing Peter Parker about responsibility?"

    What about a court order and a high fine!?

    Surely not returning a book and movie is not criminal behavior that you need handcuffs and a jail for?
    See, I don't understand this attitude. The lady basically stole the book and DVD she borrowed. She checked it out, didn't return it, and then moved without updating her contact information. It was obvious she had no intention of returning them and/or paying the late fee. At that point, why shouldn't she be prosecuted for her theft?

    Bizzaro Classic

    Neat. That's pretty clever, doing Bizzaro's line backwards.
  23. You know, all of the TF2 characters have a bit of crazy in them. But the Pyro is full on balls-to-the-walls psychotic.

No conventional military forces had been deployed, for instance. And (AFAIK) under the Posse Comitatus and Insurrection Acts the order would have had to come from the President in any case.

    Had I been one of the heroes in the "Avengers Initiative" the movie would have ended with me going off on my new mission: find and bring to justice the people who tried to murder ten million American citizens.
    As Inazuma pointed out, SHIELD is a UN organization, which suggests that the council it answers to is also UN affiliated. So their decision to nuke New York wouldn't be illegal, but it would be the equivalent of the UN declaring war on the United States.
