phenomenal series. I don't remember ep-by-ep. but phenomenal series!

re: fuel cells.

I didn't get that in the movie at all. I assumed it was a lazy attempt to allude to nuclear energy. I mean, fuel cell just means gas tank or battery, right? am I missing something that makes that convo make sense? (edit: that convo's in the end of the movie and, hence, tosser material ;)).

I always thought Band of Brothers lagged a lot, good overall but laggy.
I can't even remember most of it. :lol:

TWILIGHT.
it was bad. the movie was meh. there's a completely unbelievable romance. a 100 year old vampire with the looks of an 18 year old is apparently as emotionally evolved as an 18 year old too. seriously. he's got the jones for a 17 year old. and there's nothing particular about her? wait. there is something particular. he can't read her mind. where have I heard that before? OH YEAH: TRU BLOOD. wtf? The rest of the movie is fine. passable. ok. however, all of this was absolutely meaningless because I literally cringed and the hair stood up on the back of my neck when all the (little?) girls in the theater reacted affectionately and/or cheered at times throughout the movie. wtf? that's like cheering during THE PHANTOM MENACE. I get it when the lucasfilm logo comes across the screen. but what the fuck about the movie gives ANYONE cause to cheer? seriously? and I'm told the movie is a shite adaptation. As vampire movies go, it's obviously romantic in the Anne Rice vein. it felt like a good (not great) tv series, and that's about as good as you're going to get out of this cast (dunno about the other talent involved). bottomline: there's much better for fans of any number of genres that this movie dances around.

I was warned to see BOLT! instead, but I didn't wanna see it in 3D, and the 2D times weren't convenient.

uh oh. is lana back? I haven't seen the latest ep. (dvr only recorded 42 mins. so I just del'd it).

I'm cool with chloe's amnesia though. she's not a part of the supes mythos. she can't be his confidant. it's just not superman, anyway. like even when Lana knows, she's not a regular character (not talking about smallville - although I guess it applies there too). the whole tortured identity thing only applies to clark as a youngin'. and he's pretty much superman now. so the fewer who know, the better, afaic. like other heroes knowing is applicable because they have to team up and not ripoff the audience wanting to see two superheroes in the same scene being superheroes. but otherwise, lame. so it's cool she doesn't know imo.

oh ...well... erm.. yeah Lana comes back for chloe and jimmys wedding, but if you read the upcoming eps it seems lana guests in pretty much all the ones leading up to the christmas break, looking forward to the episode next week called "Legion" where apparently 3 members of the League of superheroes appear to help Clark fight doomsday, which should be the sex
