Engadget's Black Friday giveaway, part six: win an HTC HD2! {Engadget}
Nov 27th 2009 3:59PM Just great, this contest is getting replies at the rate of 100/min! At this pace our chances of winning will be 1 in 100,000. At least it's free to enter. It'd have been nice if it was specified what HD2 is being offered: GSM or CDMA ? European or yet-to-be-released US ?
Review: Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Black Swan {TV Squad}
Nov 25th 2009 8:50PM Correction, Nat saved $100 ($50/letter) on the engraving. As for whether Larry is an a-hole or it's those around him, Larry is an admitted misanthrope and non-conformist so yeh, he definitely comes off as an a-hole, but the others' reactions to him are equally so, too, so it's a little from column-A and a little from column-B.
Family Guy's Quagmire puts Brian in his place {TV Squad}
Nov 24th 2009 1:44PM I think the rant-scene was just a plot-device to air some of the h8 mail levied against Family Guy, especially the attitudes espoused by the Brian character (voiced by Seth himself). It was Seth giving a little back, showing that he can take it as well as he gives it. Cool.
Review: House - Ignorance is Bliss {TV Squad}
Nov 24th 2009 1:31PM Alot of these criticisms are fair, but I still choose to look deeper into the show's premise, I still like how they force us to examine what's important in our lives, in society, without being told what to believe. This show still makes me think and sparks deep discussions, even though it's lost its shiny topcoat. Maybe you'll enjoy it more if you look beyond its outward silliness.
Review: House - Teamwork {TV Squad}
Nov 19th 2009 8:05PM "I loved you and I loved Chase. I'm sorry for you both, for all you've become, because there's no way back for either of you." Really? Life just isn't black and white like that.
----------------------------------------------
Keep in mind, Jane, that the characters are simply representations of various attitudes in our society, and in Allison Cameron's case, that character is a representation of those who are straight-arrows, lives by ethics, and see the world in black/white, right/wrong, left/right, etc. So give "the character" a break :-)
Things I Hate About TV: Pop-up ads {TV Squad}
Nov 19th 2009 7:40PM Allison, seriously, everyone HATES these pop-ups, it'd have been alot better post for you to tell us who at the networks to contact to protest this practice. They're the ones permitting this intrusion and we need a coordinated effort to protest it so it'll stop instead of, as it now is, getting worse.
Review: Modern Family - Great Expectations {TV Squad}
Nov 19th 2009 7:29PM I really, really like this show, it's entertaining on so many levels, they really did a good job in conceiving this type of comedy.
Review: The Prisoner - Part Six: Checkmate {TV Squad}
Nov 19th 2009 7:19PM I'll add this since no one else has commented on it ... unlike The Original Series (TOS) this treatment didn't seem really care why 6 resigned. There was a token effort a couple times to elicit that info, but rather, it seems the ultimate point was to retain Michael at Summakor rather than let him resign. And maybe this is a commentary on employer-employee relations of today, especially in the professional business environment with its emphasis on employee satisfaction and retention.
Hank yanked by ABC {TV Squad}
Nov 11th 2009 3:31PM Cool, I checked out after the pilot, got that one right.
Review: Saturday Night Live - Taylor Swift {TV Squad}
Nov 8th 2009 5:19PM Agreed, Annie Wu is way off base. Usually SNL wastes 80 of their 90 minutes, but this one was actually watchable all the way through! I really liked her singing monologue, and the "Really?!" sketch on Weekend Update. Decent showing.
