Nice job w/ the censorship!
why is it censorship to have opposing views???
If gay people don't like what Simon on American Idol said about a guy
wearing a dress they protest.
If Jewish people don't like Passion of the Christ or documentaries that
question the Holocaust they protest
If Muslims don't like the portrayal of Mohammed they put a price on your head
If Italian Americans dislike being portrayed as mobsters they protest the
Sopranos and other shows.
And it is their right. [well not what the Muslims do]
But if the Christian God is portrayed as a wimp we are supposed to sit by
and take it?
Ah come on, that's "unAmerican" *vbeg*

I'm sure Heidi meant to add "Debbie" to her Subject line, so I
have done it for her.
Opps, I forgot.. (Debbie)
There is no reason to be leery of *buying* the Season 6 dvds.
You may well be leery about *watching* them.
Yea. And from what people say about ordering from the HL Store
by the web site, even that's not as bad as it had been.
>I think I may have only watched it once since I bought them.
See what I mean?
There are some episodes in it worth watching. But I have enough
other things I haven't gotten around to watching, that those
episodes just haven't been enough of a draw. One advantage
of that is that since I've seen the episodes less often then
most of the other seasons, I don't know them quite as well.
Which with no more HL episodes, has some advantage when it
comes to watching them. (but in the case of some episodes, it
just means I forgot how bad they were.)
(Does it bother anyone else to see Nick Knight lurking in the
shadows of "24" this season?)
Is he a regular character? I probably only saw the show a few
times in the first season. I have seen some other things GWD
has been in but they were pretty forgettable. Someone had asked
about Forever Knight being on DVD. Since the first two seasons
have been out for awhile, has anyone heard if they have any
plans to release the third season?

Definitely B. I'm a huge Kronos fan, but still can't
stop watching Rev6:8 ALL the way to the end. It must
be something about that whole "I am the end of time"
thing.
And you forgot category F) Narcissistic Megalomaniac.
I could qualify for that one aswell.

Thank you. But, do you regularly picture me, um, glorious & all? Because
that's unnerving.

There's early, & then there's early. In this case, certain religious groups
organized to pressure NBC (which 1st delayed the show from fall to winter &
then put it in the Friday night death slot) & local affiliate stations even
before a single episode aired. Then, sponsors were threatened w/ product
boycotts, so that the 4th episode of the show aired w/ only NBC's own promos
in the commercial slots--no wonder they cancelled it.
It was massive overkill for a show w/ some interesting ideas but mediocre
delivery. But Pat Robertson is happy now, so that's something.
Nina (OHLR--lots of conservative groups didn't approve of HL:TS either)
(they just weren't as organized back then) (& HL:TS was barely a blip on
anyone's radar, as a syndicated action show w/ swords & a guy w/ a ponytail)
(DEBBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Amen. I'm *still* bitter (oh, so very bitter) about FOX's
decision-making process (or the utter lack thereof) regarding
"Firefly".
And I'm pretty sure I never intend to let go of that one. For the
record, I'm never letting go of the one where the WB killed it's 2nd
highest rated show because only women were watching.
.....
Where the place we go to kill Entertainment Exes again?
DEBBIE!!!!!!!!!! We're ordering murders here now! Don't you care? Is
this perhaps your ebil intent all along? And you're just using us as
your patsys?
Well then, come out and take credit! And give Wendy her files, before
she sets the freakin' ferrets loose!
I could've said f*c king ferrets, ya know. With a "u" instead of an
"*". Since she, and her whip o' DOOM, aren't here and all. I wonder if
that would get her out?

Kamil --->DEBBIE!!!!!!! (cursing is imminent)(do you care?)(does
anyone care?)(I bet Nina and Dotran both do)(possibly the only time
they've agreed on anything in living memory)(except about Duncan's
hotness)(most people here are agreed on that)(except for the ones that
aren't, of course)(what was I talking about?)(oh, yes, cursing on the
list)(Debbie!!!!)
The Wave: Do you read Gandalf slash?
Ian McKellan: Well, I'm quite a fan of pornography. I think it's a
very good idea. I think it stops people from going out and hurting
each other.
