It probably happens a lot more with comedies, but we can put together a much longer list of shows with bad pilots that wind up hitting their stride once given some time. The networks don't typically give shows any time anymore for this to happen. This one will probably be given that time though due to all of their connections. So I think with this one, we will eventually find out whether or not they right the ship.

I'm right there with you. I don't know how much you can judge a show by the pilot though. How many shows actually nail it from day 1? With the Disney juggernaut behind this one, I'm sure it will be given enough time to see whether or not it develops.

I'm not sure whether or not the show will have a long shelf life after watching the pilot. It was decent, but I could see this one going either way. And as for Coulson, they've obviously got a lot more story planned on his "death".

It's so easy to miss one of those on screen directions that pop up in the top corner. There are way too many distractions on screen at the same time.

Just in case you haven't figured this out yet... You're on PS3 right? If you have the text message with the link to the stock market all you have to do is hit the square button.

Mine hasn't frozen yet. Then again, I've only played long enough to do the first mission (Franklin "stealing" a car). Hopefully I can find some time this weekend.

I was really hoping he would shoot the zombie at the end of that one.

I love that they don't mass produce these games and put them out every single year Call of Duty-style. Working on a game like this for 4-5 years allows them to do all of the stuff you just mentioned, a ton of depth and not a game that you will put away permanently after a couple months.

And now if only I could find some time to play it.

I must have phrased it poorly, but that's exactly what I meant. They wore red helmets at that point, so instead of switching to a white throwback helmet, they just slapped a white standing buffalo on the red helmets.

Didn't they have this same exact problem a while back (maybe mid-90s)? The Bills wound up wearing a red helmet with the white standing Buffalo on it as a "throwback" during an NFL anniversary year.

I was fully expecting to see when CBS will air Rudolph and Frosty when I clicked on this thread.

The wife has a 4 and I have a 4S. She's due for an upgrade, but I have to wait until Thanksgiving. We'll probably both be getting one of these two once my deal is up (we just got married so we still have separate accounts until my deal is up). I'm not all that picky about this stuff, but at this point, I'd rather stick with what is familiar. I'm glad I have to wait until November though, the initial rush to buy these things is always so stupid. How much difference is there between the two new models? I haven't seen any of the descriptions yet, other than the finger print thing. I know I could just google it, but someone here will probably do a much better job of summing it up in terms that aren't way over my head.

That is pure brilliance. It is one thing for some random people to fake something like that. But for it to be someone so high profile faking the tape and getting away with it? Perfect.

Michael Keaton? Where the hell has he been? The cast seems pretty intriguing to me. Gary Oldman alone peaks my interest in this one. I think I'll have to wait until free cable or Netflix to see this one though. I do hope they work in some very minor cameos for guys like Peter Weller and Kurtwood Smith.

Ok, I'll go ahead and plead ignorance. What does that even mean?

It's a shame those girls weren't the ones who put the noose around his neck.

"Future employer" implies that they still actually hire her after doing that google search.

I'm kind of curious after reading this. I know that all of my maternal great-grandparents came over from Poland as kids. I don't know much about my dad's side though. His father did a lot of searching on his family back in the early 90s, but I don't know what ever came of that. I think there was some sort of early death/remarriage that clouded that branch of the tree quite a bit.

Why is it that the conspiracies always tend towards the most outrageous and elaborate schemes? Laser guided planes, bombs in the buildings, hundreds of passengers who are now off in hiding somewhere and were never actually on the planes... Why don't they instead go with the angle that the government was aware of the plan but let it happen anyway. That one would at least be somewhat plausible idea that you might be able to convince more people to go along with. Does that theory just not sell enough books or get enough youtube hits? Or do people just tend to let their imaginations wonder a bit towards the crazy scifi angle?

So is that a "cheat sheet" with some lyrics on her arm or an actual tattoo?

They should make that the back of Jennifer Garner's head while they're at it.

I saw something on the news last night that said the Smith picture wasn't even in reaction to Cyrus. It was a reaction to something else at another point in the night. I have no idea if that is true or not. With all of this crap, I think I found a new favorite local news person out here in Boston last night. They were going through this stupid story that doesn't deserve our attention and then the anchor ended it by saying "why does she do this stuff". The anchor woman working with him responded with "she wants attention and to be mentioned on tv... oh, am I not supposed to say that?". It was great. For at least a brief second one of the news people admitted how pathetic their business of shock journalism is. She was definitely frustrated by it. The last part of the quote was clearly a reaction to something that was said to her over her ear piece.

I love that movie, but for whatever reason, the ref suit doesn't stick out in my mind. The question still stands about that other guy though.

Why's that guy dressed like a ref?
