so the spell check changed MOM into MUM? that's crazy.... anyhow apparently next week's episode will be a good one, revealing who the hell is HRG and how did it all start.

I would make that deal, the one from realgm in a heartbeat, but it is unlikely they would agree to it. I guess if the choice is JJ and VC I would have to pick VC. I really really would hate to see him go so soon, but VC brings much more to the team.

They were on all the time and got good ratings. Some of my favorite TV from my childhood was mini-series like "V" or "North and South" or "Lonesome Dove." Wouldn't Lost have made an awesome 8 to 12 hour miniseries? They could have gotten rid of all that backstory crap and just pushed the action on the island. I do remember V, they also replayed the whole series about 3 years ago, think it was the sci-fi channel, and it was awesome. Shows like this would be much better if they had a plan, start to finish, for 3 or 4 seasons and that's it. Move to something bigger and better, but they want to milk it as much as they can. In the end we end up not knowing anything. I started watching a show online from Fox, Vanished. It had a good story and interesting development. Well I got into it without knowing it was cancelled. I watched the first 13 episodes or so, and that's it, I am now wanting more or to know the end and never will. Hopefully is not that bad for Lost, but I feel it will all end up to quick and will be dissapointing.

That's the thing I do hate, then the shows end up losing viewers because they extend it too much. That's what is going on with lost. But at least if the close the Sylar chapter you have an end to that story, then they can add something else. Lost just keeps going and going and nothing really gets resolved ever.

Also, I think that Nathan (Peter's older brother and daddy to the cheerleader) looks like he may become a baddy at some point. That is awesome that Peter is going to have all the powers just like Silar. I think the painter just "THINKS" the other guy is a friend because he helped him control his power, the whole doing it without being high deal. Also the fact that they think he is the one that will explode doesn't help. Of course they want to kill him. I think Nathan is unsure but should come thru in the end as one of the good guys. Peter might be even more powerful than Sylar but need to get them controlled. Sylar can "see" and understand what the others do, but Peter is a sponge, so technically whatever the other guy is doing that might fight him, he could do also.

Only the best new tv show in the states. It is called Heroes. Go to www.nbc.com, then click on videos and you can watch the episodes online, plus they have an online comic that gives you more details to the story and a lot of commentary from every episode.

ha ha, well anyone can figure that one out with that clue after watching just the first what 2 episodes maybe.....

Holly ****e did you see who's Claire's real dad is??? I don't want to say much because NBR just started watching, but crap, that's crazy.

It is a small world......He was here last year for about 3 weeks. He went to a Magic game with another friend of his.

I've been working in the Residential Industry for almost 10 years now. Where is this place? Do you guys just design the home or build them too? I, like probably 90% of other draftpersons, wanted to go into the Residential field, but got a chance to do survey work and just liked it so much I stayed. I have a friend who's dad is an architect and he has a company in Longwood. I talked to him, and he sort of wanted me to work for him, but I would have to start at an entry level, coming from the Senior level, and probably taking a $10/hr pay cut. NOT!!!! So I told him thanks but no thanks. I am overpaid somewhat, but they are happy and I am happy.

Oh come one Mire, I don't think it will be a problem in a little website that not many check, as long as you don't use real personal information. It's good. I am right now a Senior CAD draftman at my company. It's cool to be the Boss. I've been doing it for about 6 years and have been in my current company for almost 2 years. We do Land Survey work, plans, maps, construction support etc etc. If you ever see the guys down the road measuring stuff, that's a survey crew. I grab their information, and convert it to a drawing. Or I give them information to stake out, and they go out and do it. I played basketball since I was 11 or 12. I played ball in 9th grade. I was the SG on the team but I was only about 5'-9" then. I can still shoot, now I'm 6'-2" I guess I could have played more, but that wasn't for me. I just played for fun. I was out of Highschool at 16, out of college by 18. I only have a 2 year degree but make more money than my brother that is an Engineer. I'm 25, I feel like 40 sometimes, but only about 18 in my brain. Which is pretty bad, some people expect me do act as an adult, while others want the old inmature guy. So it's kinda hard right now to act right. What is sad is that I'm getting to that stage in life where I rather stay home than go out an have fun. I also have a home sticker decal business thru ebay and I just created my own website. www.davcivicsdecals.com to sell decals online. I mean I just started it yesterday, so there's only like 3 decals in there right now. I know live in Lake county, with what appears to be Every single senior citizen of this country, gotta love The Villages..... oh and of course, my name is David

Nah, it was just sad. Part of me was saying, please be as good a baseball player as a basketball player. The other part was saying, WTF are you thinking, got back to the court you don't belong here. We will never know, but Chicago could have won what 8 or 9 titles in a row if he had not retired.....3 times....You just cannot put down what the man did for the sport....Love him or Hate him, he was/is the best.

quote: Originally posted by ThisIsTheYear: quote: Originally posted by nbr334: quote: pretty much once my balls dropped That is funny lol Would've been 92'- 93', everyone loved Chicago and that made me sick. Chose the next best team with the best colors and it just so happened that they picked up this kid called Shaq. lol, same here. Everyone was considered a Bulls fan, and the Michael talk was making me sick. Plus, I live in Florida and just wanted to represent the boys in blue. FU two.....nah just kidding. I was a Baseball fan before I saw a man called Michael Jordan play basketball. I was and am a Bulls fan, but was mostly a Jordan fan. I was always a East Conference fan. I started liking Orlando when Shaq arrived, but it wasn't until Penny was drafted that I became a real Magic fan. I started collecting Penny cards, purchased his Nike's, little penny doll, etc etc. Ever since then I've been a fan.

So is the show going to end up sucking like lost? Are they going to try to extend it with weak stories and plot twists? Hopefully they'll keep it good. That's what I think about Sylar, he has that ability to see how things work, and either fix them or immitate them. But why is he cutting their brains out. If he can see inside, why cut open their heads.

Right.....I was thinking that, trying to find why he was able to break the glass then and not before when he was trying. I guess that chick was the one to die. I don't think he got her powers because she shot herself in the brain, or so it appears, so he could not take her brain and learn from it, or do whatever it is he can do, I still don't know. I guess the mute haitian is not that mute after all. But I think Horned Rimmed Glasses dude just got influenced by his daugther and was not thinking right, while Mute Haitian dude is working for some type of government office that overuled Horned Rimmed Glasses dude and told him not to clear Claire's(hot as hell cheerleader that is only 17, hahaha) memories, but maybe just maybe, there's other Heroes working for that agency that also have "predicted" the destruction and know Claire is a main piece to stop it. Now, what is up with Peter? A few things.... Number 1 - what happened when he was dreaming, and first it was his brother but all of a sudden it was Sylar...Did Syler get into his head? Number 2 - Why was he sick and coughing and looked like crap when talking to Claire? Is there something behind the sickness? Number 3 - What is up with that last dream and him exploding? WTF Number 4 - This one is the most important of them all..............Why is Peter playing Rocky's son in the movie, while he is supposed to be trying to save the world? He doesn't have time to do movies while the rest of the Heroes fight......lol.....

I have no clue on what sylar can do or how he does it. It's like he was able to look inside the brain of the other guy to learn what was happening to him, and he was able to find the same thing on his brain and change it. There's only one show left until next year. But I thought they meant January, hopefully not too long. What was the whole deal with Hiro and the girl, I don't get it. She was just a character put in to humble Hiro???? Did you see the scenes from next show, they said one of them was going to die......... So I ask you, who do you think should go, or will go?

HEY EGG NOGS..... Darko is in his first year. How long did it take Dwight to play good. Wait for it, he is still working on it Dwight can't even get out of a double team without turning the ball over.....Darko has a lot of talent that needs to be exploited....Give him some time......9 games, 9 f'ing games, we have the second best record in the East and we want to change our whole lineup. I don't get it, what where you guys expecting, go perfect.......Come'on it won't happen. I agree that the team has things to work on, but please. We are on pace to go 55-27......If you don't like that, or if you are not happy with that, then you should stop writting/reading this site now. It just upsets me a bit to see so much doubt and questioning when the team IS winning. There's only three things that they need to change right now. 1) Dwight and his inavility to get out of a double team without a turn over. Teams are killing us, stopping our superstar every game. Yet we still win. Oh and stop putting the ball low, under the waist, he get's picked out almost everytime. 2) Darko needs to wake up. He needs to realize how good he can be and play like it. More passion, more fire. 3) Turnovers.....Hold on to the damn ball and don't let it go.

I thought the dad, or Horn Ring Glasses, was Sylar.....or maybe the black guy that's always with him. But I read a theory somewhere, that he just knows about them, somehow, and that he is trying to help them understand what is happening to them, maybe for the government's use, or who knows. But a weird clue from the last episode was those marks, or tattoos, that they got after passing out. What are those? ID marks, or are the powers put into people and then they are marked. Who knows. Th jap guys are funny. The guy HIRO was on Scrubs as Franklin, the lab doctor guy. Scrubs is the best show/comedy on TV evar!!!!! The flying boys. Petrelli? One really flies, the other one I think can just use the same powers as other heroes, like he can use the power is he is close to another heroe. The cheerleader.....Well let's just say I can't tell you what I would do with her because she is still only 17. We will have to wait until next year, at least...... At the end of last episode, they showed a pic of that diner's girl birthday, Hiro was on it then. So he was able to travel back and meet her. But what is up with the look on his face.... Okay. that's all for now.....by the way, thanks for including people of all places in this discussion.

Yeah, I know we will have a spot for him in the lineup, just thinking if we will have minutes for him to play. I guess it all depends on the game situation. I don't see him playing a lot of minutes right now, it will be a nice insurance, just in case one of the other 3 main guys goes down. How much longer will Battie play? He is 30, still going strong, but maybe Gortat will replace Battie eventually. Just thinking out loud here, who knows..

he is looking good. I don't mind him staying one more year to get even better. He'll be here next year, almost guaranteed. I hope we can find minutes for him.

Let's see I jumped on the Dan Brown band wagon, and read Da Vinci code, really good FICTIONAL story. His book Angels and Demons was even better in my opinion. The I tried reading another one of his books, Deception Point or something like that, boring...could not finish it. Chuck Palahniuk is the man, I have read almost all of his books, good stories that make you think and keep track of what' going on but are not too predictable. I've been trying to find something I will like again, but I don't know much about authors so haven't picked up anything new in a while. I'll check some of your recommendations. I like stories like Dan Brown's Robert Langdon books, a little history, a little mistery, a little conspiracy. And Chuck's fiction. I'll have to look into Stephen Bury, Stephen Brust and Guy Kay. Any specifics?
