Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Anyone Into Monkeys?
« on: December 27, 2005, 10:35 AM »
I never gave a reach-around to a spider monkey while reciting the Pledge of Alligence.
That just about sums up my level of affection for monkeys.

Yeah, that's mildly disturbing. Pair that with those military robots they started making with machine guns and rocket launchers...

Kit wasn't a medical doctor or a coroner. So she wouldn't do that.
The shot of her holding the gun was in the promo after last week's episode. It was a really quick shot (so quick I though it was the nazi girlfriend holding the gun), but maybe that's what you remember?
Has the footage of Matt and his Tranny friend been shown before tonight?

Now that it's over... (I posted right after Quentin got shot, before the twist).
OK - The Carver is dead on the floor. Nobody notices him still breathing? Unless that weird jacked was supposed to suppress his chest movement. Even so... Nostrils move. Eyes move. People usually don't die instantly from a torso shot. That was just a little bit sloppy.
But let's say he's a good actor. Or he pumped himself with tranquilizer. Even so... a coroner would take and process the body... put him in the body bag. He'd notice Quentin wasn't dead. Then when he walked out of the morgue... somebody would notice.
I know... it's nitpicky. It was a good, satisfying ending. I was hoping it was something deeper than just Quentin, but the circumstances around it really made it pay off. But for a series with such stellar writing, you'd think the end would be a little more plausible. I'm all for suspension of disbelief. But that was just a bit too much.
I wish there was more follow-up on the racist guy, too. Matt walked in at the end like he just got back from burying the body, but the dinner happened a while after the shooting. Did they call the cops? Hide his body? Maybe we'll find out next season. I hope this one's quicker to arrive than the last!
I hope I don't sound too negative. I actually loved it. It's just sitting down and thinking about it afterwards, you see the holes.

I know I said I'm avoiding this thread, but I figured it was safe since tamidala was the only one to post after me, and I wanted to get this idea on the record so everyone will know how smart I am come Tuesday. ;-)
Maybe it's somebody we haven't seen, but who has been discussed extensively this season. How about Christian's FATHER??!!!
Think about it - the Carver is roughly the same height and weight as Christian. Genetics. And he's a serial rapist. Fits Christian's dad's profile perfectly!
So put that down as my prediction. The best part is that it could lead to one of the all-time greatest TV moments... The Carver leans over Christian, and in his electronically-altered voice tells him: "Christian... I am your father!!!"

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Coca-Cola or Pepsi?
« on: December 17, 2005, 04:21 PM »
Coke Zero is Diet Coke with Splenda instead of NutraSweet. And it does taste MUCH more like regular Coke.
Same thing with Sprite Zero.
Wild Cherry Pepsi, Pepsi One, and Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper all use Splenda as well, and all taste fantastic.
I predict the days are numbered for traditional Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. Splenda is just SO MUCH BETTER.

This week's episode was decent. Nothing too stunning, but interesting.
But the promo for next week - Holy Crap!!
Was that Quentin all cut up on the bed with "I can't stop" written above him? I couldn't tell, it went by so fast. I know I'm gonna be glued to my set next Tuesday.

Gentlemen, I think we have a new candidate for those "Want to get away" Southwest commercials...

I've read about traders taking down their companies before... but never by accident. Dude needs a do-over something fierce. It's scary to think that one guy with a computer can almost destroy an entire country's economy.

I'm leaning towards that being her as well. A woman lying about her age claiming to be OLDER than she actually is... that's a switch.
