    Hannibal

    Excellent. Verger was a pretty interesting character, hope he is written as twisted as he was in the 'Hannibal' book.
  2. Pumpkin Thief

    Klondike- Discovery channnel.

    Was really looking forward to this. Got through the first episode and found it to be stilted to the point of unwatchable. Too bad because the setting and scenery is beautiful.

    Garlic vs. CinnaMilk

    Speaking of Kevin Trudeau and apple cider vinegar, I remember seeing one of his late night infomercials years ago where he was peddling one of his miracle cure books and gave away one pearl for free on the commercial stating that apple cider vinegar cures heartburn. Seemed like horseshit to me...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I'm not rooting for Tyson much, but I think his gamesmanship has been very solid and wouldn't begrudge him if he won. He does seem kind of douche-ey at times but not a horrible person in all.

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Gervase doesn't seem classically stupid to me, just delusional in an egotistical way. Hayden's true strengths have been a solid social game and how he handled himself at the tribal councils, but ill say it again, dude sucks ass at challenges, or at best is middle of the pack. I know you guys...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    lol @ Gervase and his inability to shut his fucking mouth. He alienates all jury and potential jury members simply because ego demands it. He is that player in the NFL that can't help but punch some player in the helmet right in front of the ref, drawing a 15-yarder. Rooting for Hayden too. A...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I see what you are saying, but the time for cutting ties was before people began being added to the jury. I dunno, man, we'll see how it plays out. More power to Ciera if she proves me wrong.
  9. Pumpkin Thief

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I saw zero logic in Ciera's bizarre lust to vote off her mother. Am I taking crazy pills? Doesn't logic dictate that *both* in the couple must be voted out so that one of them can't make it to the end and have an automatic jury vote? It kind of made me sad to see how Laura was willing to twist...

    What is your opinion on GMO plants and products?

    Phoenix, I have no problem with your philosophy that perhaps if people don't like 'X' then perhaps people should do something or other about 'X' and not blame 'Player X' for playing the game well. But this idea that no collusion (whether it be technically legal, but blurs the line, or outright...

    What is your opinion on GMO plants and products?

    Last time you checked, huh? How would you know what the hell Monsanto does or has done or doesn't do?

    What is your opinion on GMO plants and products?

    I'm cool with the idea of modifying plants to better resist freezes, and feeding starving people more cheaply etc. Not so cool with the huge conglomerates who basically control the tech and are so powerful that they no longer reckon their might in terms of $$, but instead in their ability to...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Weird season. No one I super-enjoy, and no one I despise (since Colton is gone). Might be the first time in a while I watched most of a season without caring about who goes or stays. At this moment, who do you guys think is in the best position? Tyson seems to be mostly running the show, but...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Man, it seems like they always tote out that 'cling to a fucking tree' challenge when they want to simply disappear some poor slob who couldn't possibly hope to support an extra 70 lbs of body weight longer than 2 small women. John seemed like he was gritting his teeth when he had to stand there...

    The Blacklist

    Ugh, finally gave up on this. So tired of Shows like this and The Mentalist with Scooby Doo-like plots, magic forensics, cornball Dick Tracy villains (each more deadly than the last! *mustache twirl* MUHAHAHA), unbelievable dialogue and actions to drive the predictable plot along its well worn...

    Most screwed up thing your parent/bro/sis/gf/bf has told you?

    I know very little detail about his time 'over there'. I know he was in the army infantry and served in France, so was likely in the thick of some heavy stuff. We weren't real Clannish with extended family, that is to say we never lived down the street from, or even in the same states as...

    Most screwed up thing your parent/bro/sis/gf/bf has told you?

    Mom told us that when she was a kid, she had some crooked teeth. My grandfather made her go to the dentist and get them all pulled and have them replaced with dentures so she'd be "able to find a man" or some such thing. My grandfather was kind of quiet and spooky. Very stern and no tolerance...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Remarkable. During that exact scene I told my brother, "This is the first time I have literally cringed and had to glance away from some uncomfortable shit where I was actually embarrassed for someone on the TV".

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I agree she has self-esteem issues. I don't know that I could agree that at her core she is good. I suppose it's subjective as hell but her getting giddy with delight at the thought of blindsiding people and becoming super sour and declaring it mean and deceptive when it happens to her speaks...

    Bets on how long Hayden and Kat last after the season ending show? I'll start it off with 38 days for my guess!

    The Blacklist

    They tried to excuse that by having him magically steal her cell phone during his unmanly choke-out session.

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I find Colton's "meh, I'm a huge cunt and since I was unable to control these people in any way, fuck this, I quit" to actually be more honorable than Kat The Retard's blubbering and begging. Oddly, it looks like the usual taboo of "couples" getting the couples instantly split up (ever since...

    I laughed when Kat the Retarded did a Kenny and pulled the drawstrings on her hoodie when the wrong Laura was sent packing.

    There was a nice song in that last episode, though. 'Here with me' by Robot Koch.

    If I was John, id fuck Candace like a savage hyena all night for Brad to enjoy. Funny episode.

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I don't care what Colton said in some interview. He's a wormy pathological person, and when wormy pathological chaos didn't help him and his antics were largely ignored by his tribemates, he left the game. He stomps his feet and holds his breath until his face turns blue and when that doesn't...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Yeah, that tribe Is in the fetal position mentally - letting Brad run shit into the ground. Just bizarre. I guess they are just trying to hang on until a merge and don't even care at all about the challenges at this point. Makes for less than stellar viewing enjoyment. And yes, fuck those...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Yeah, noticed that too. They looked like newlyweds with Tyson sitting right behind him, arms draped around his neck. Guess they bonded! Glad Rupert's gone and apparently so is his wife. Loved Brad's demonstrative violent fantasy display of what he'd like to do to Gervais. "I can't wait...

    The Blacklist

    Was looking forward to this because I like Spader. Seemed like a cobbling together of so many other shows/movies and suffers from many of the problems 1 hour shows have that must provide a resolution within 35 minutes of actual TV-time: Too much deus ex machina. Magical police work, magic...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I loved Brad's reasoning for the big bro-lliance (which is made even more hilarious that he is running it). "Us big studly menz gotta stick together! These weak women and little weak pussies like Cochran are winning survivor these days!" Goddamn, this guy is going to be fun to watch. I'd...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    Stupid episode. That ex-nfl guy is a dumber than a bucket of shit and the main source of lulz so far from what looks to be a painful season ahead. No one sticks out so far as really likable to root for.

    The Men Who Built America - History Channel

    Let me know if they do a section over Rudolf Diesel. I'd be curious to know the official historian-take on his death. I say Rockefeller had him iced!

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    Was doing a quest near Undercity with my lowbie undead assassin where you had to steal pumpkins from some farmer's land or some such. A friend of mine I was questing with said, "undead look funny as fuck skittering around stealing pumpkins." Kinda stuck with me.

    Hannibal

    I am at least glad to read that Will Graham will be much scrappier and a coherent player next season. His mopey, almost crying, speaking in strained hushed tones thing was getting tedious.

    This episode reminded me of an old x-files episode with the rotting-yet living-corpse girl-thing.

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    It's only unique in the fact that it is totally non-unique. An absolute cobbling together of other people's shows/stories/themes through and through. Let me know how you like the books though.

    Scenes that made you cry like a bitch

    Watership Down, at the end when it shows elderly Hazel die in his sleep and he is admitted into the Elite Owsla while 'Bright Eyes' by Art Garfunkel plays. I used to read that book over and over while listening to Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' when I was like 14 or so. I can no longer hear music from...
