Hiro Protagonist

I didn't see any Christian theme in it. If anything it was buddhism but more in line with spirituality in general with all the books Flynn had on his bookcase. The religious subtext is even more so in the first movie such as when the old guy says to Dillinger that their (the programmers) spirits are in every program they create. And Dillinger says he doesn't want to have religious discussions with him. There are numerous examples. There was always a religious subtext to the original Tron in how the Programmers were regarded with respect to the Programs. It doesn't change that there is a creator & creation angle in both movies. I felt Tron Legacy deflected the spritiual side of things better than the first movie given the post modern times we live in.

Some more: 4400. Needed a 5th Season to wrap it all up. Caprica. BSG prequel and cancelled after the first season. Crusade. The sequel to Babylon 5 meant to run for 5 seasons, only to be cancelled halfway through Season 1. Dark Angel. Cancelled after two seasons and no wrap up. They did jump the shark with releasing all the X experiments/failures though. Dollhouse. Should have had more episodes. Ending felt a bit rushed. Farscape. Wrapped up with the Peacekeaper Wars but really needed the 5th Season to tie it up properly. Flash Forward. Needed another season. Heroes. Was a trainwreck but the Season finale in the 4th Season is unresolved. Jericho. Cancelled halfway through the Second season. New Amsterdam. An highlander type show with an immortal as the central character, cancelled halfway through the first season. Persons Unknown. Great show similar to The Prisoner, cancelled after one season. And what about that Season finale? We'll never know what happens. Rubicon. A thought provoking political thriller. Cancelled after 1 season. Sarah Connor Chronicles. Season 2 was a shocker in the middle but came good in the end. Needed a 3rd season to wrap it all up. Stargate SG-1/Stargate Atlantis/Stargate Universe. Should have had one last season to wrap it up properly. Terriers. Cancelled after one season. Traveler. An excellent conspiracy-drama. Two Uni students hunted by the FBI after a bombing of a museum. Their only lead is their best friend, Will Traveler, who disappeared after the bombing and is not in any record - anywhere. Cancelled after 8 episodes.

It's more the opposite. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/j...bducted/?page=1

Tron Legacy. Was not disappointed. Great stuff. Huge fan of the first movie and now the same with the second.

Nope, doesn't work.

Merry Christmas.

China says "all your Internets belong to us" They're only catching up to the US, who currently does these things more discreetly.

Actually, it gets better especially in Seasons 8, 9 and 10 when they have quite a few superhero groups like the semi-formed JLA as well as the JSA, Legion and the Suicide Squad. Probably the worse season would be Season 1 as there are only about 5 episodes worth watching while the rest are just Monster of the Week episodes.

I just did a marathon session and finished watching Smallville Seasons 1-9 as well as the current episodes in Season 10 over the last 4 weeks. Been blown away by all the characters from the DC Universe that have shown up. The origin of some of the characters are not exactly like the comics, but still good to see nonetheless. Of course there's the usual Lex Luthor and Lois Lane that have appeared. But other characters that have shown up have been Lana Lang, Pete Ross, Lucy Lane, Supergirl, Justice League of America, Martian Manhunter, Legion of Superheroes (Cosmic Boy, Lighting Lad, Saturn Girl, Braniac 5), Mr Mxyzptlk, Krypto the Dog, Bizarro, Rick Flag, Deadshot, the Suicide Squad, the JSA (Dr Fate, Star Spangled Kid, Sandman, Hawkman, Green Lantern, Wildcat), Aquaman and Mera, Metallo, Toyman. Elastic Lad (shown as Pete Ross but should have been Jimmy Olsen), Green Arrow, Black Canary, Bart Allen (Impulse), Doomsday, Cyborg, Zan and Jayna (the wonder twins), Maxima, Plastique, Darkseid, Desaad, Silver Banshee, etc. Also mentioning Batman and Wonder Woman even though they don't appear in person. I'm sure I've missed a few, but still Brilliant!

Incorrect. In reality, most people in Western Countries live in a police state, and are completely unaware of it. There is little difference between tyranny in governments, no matter where it may be. For example, the people of Poland: * cannot drive without licenses * are required to register their cars * cannot build on their land without government approval * are compelled to buy insurance * must show identification papers upon demand * have a portion of their wages taken away * have ports of entry which compel them to stop, clear and pay duties * are subject to searches on their highways * may be arbitrarily taken into custody and fingerprinted without court order The list goes on. It makes no difference where you may be located; citizens of any country who are so constrained are not free, but living under tyranny. It matters not whether we think we have it somehow "better" than the Poles. Both systems are tyrannical in nature, the only difference being the degree of tyranny applied and the understanding of the system by the citizens. The Poles understand that they live in tyranny, while people in other Western countries have been convinced that it can't happen here, even though it has already come to pass. We recognize tyranny in foreign countries, but in our own, we refer to it as "law and order." But a police state by any other name is still a police state.

And Western countries don't oppress their people? Can you show me a Western Country where the people are free and not oppressed by degrees of tyranny.

Pretty much my experience there.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Go on, fly to China, try and stay there for a while and discuss or encourage violence or terrorism. You can discuss violence and terrorism. I know because I went to China last year and did just that with people there. However, I don't understand why you would want to encourage violence and terrorism.

Why wouldn't it be sci-fi? In the early 19th century, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein helped define the form of the science fiction novel. Just because Young Frankenstein is a comedy at heart doesn't mean that it's not sci-fi as well.

Wouldn't want to be in some industries like the building industry. Imagine being a brick layer or bathroom tiler in your 60s. Or even a courier driver delivering parcels in your 60s. I think you'll die before you retire.

Just print more money to pay it back. Oh wait, you're already doing that. Never seen the US$ go down so much in the last 30 years. Great time for us to buy stuff online from the US.

So, Kaftan, exactly which channel in Sweden is showing this series? Pretty sure Kaftan watched it on Channel BT.

Went to Killa's today for their 30 cm (1 foot) wide burger. They serve it in a cake box. Still digesting it after an hour since I got home.

Piranha (2010). It was like one of those WTF movies. The underwater ballet scene was awesome.

The Guy underneasth Devil's tail. He seems to be in an interesting position. Or I have my mind in the gutter again.

While reading one of my Phantom comics, I came across this page. I feel sorry for poor Devil. edited for size.

Predators. Quite a good movie I thought.

Not really. What started out as a libertarian movement based on constitutionalist ideals is now being projected as a far right nutjob group through media manipulation. There's nothing 'projected' about people like Christine O'Donnell becoming endorsed nominees.

I see the tea party as the rights answer to the left-wing groups such as the various green/enviromental/animal/socialist/anti-war movements. It's only a natural progression as the right saw the left take more power through these groups.
