Haha! I would have loved it if Xena killed the reporter!!! I think she was tempted a few times, lol, but she never went through with it. What's cool is the reporter was played by Michael Hurst, the guy who played Iolus, and he looked completely different, lol. Short, brown hair, glasses, khaki outfit. Tee hee, it took me a while to realize where I'd seen him before the first time I saw it. :laugh: Aw, I understand, I'd rather be sleeping at that time, too. :yes:

Teehee, I'd be surprised if Xena wasn't tempted to kill the reporter, I can just imagine her being asked questions and getting that urge to just end him, twitching at her sword and wanting to pull it out and slice his throat, what a cool image for me to have, my mind is such a pleasant place. :lol: I saw the last five minutes of Xena today, I might have watched the +1 channel and seen it from the beginning but I was going out so no point. :blink:

Tomby
 
Yeah, and Scorpion King was thousands of years before Xena, so if he had them she should be abe to have them, too! :lol: Still seems weird, though. Ah, well.

Plus the guy in Scorpion King said about getting the explosion creating recipe from China I think, so they must have been making explosives for a long time, maybe Xena just met the ones who make pretty explosions and not the death bringing ones, so she could go back and find the bad ones easily, it makes sense I guess. :wild1:

Tomby
 
Yeah, she's dangerous to go out with, lol. I'd be scared to be her friend, too. Her friend in the first season got messed up and then died, lol. Just stay away from Kim. It's the best way to stay dafe. :laugh:

Oh yeah, I was forgetting about her friend, she got her arm broken, drugged up and hit by a car before being killed in the hospital, definitely best to stay away from Kim, if I saw her coming down the road I'd be running in the opposite direction. :laugh:

Will
 
I giggled through Halloween.

And A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Then I had nightmares.

And I couldn't laugh any more.

Oh, that's so bad, but sometimes laughing at the things which scare you is the best way to defeat them, I had my silly phobia of Squirrels and I was making fun of them so much that people thought I was making up my fear, sometimes laughing is the only thing we can do. :)

Hehe, she wanted to, especially since the real plot in that episode was that there was no more love left in the world, so it's not like the power of love was there to stop her. :laugh: Just her sheer will power and self restraint. :yes:

Ooh, that's cool, I'm glad you got to see a little bit of it, anyway. :yes: Go Xena!!!

Makes perfect sense. :laugh: Still, it feels weird, like giving Xena a blaster or lightsaber. :laugh: Ah, well.

:laugh: Yeah, Kim's friend had it rough. :laugh: Definitely stay away from Kim. I think if I saw her I'd start running away while throwing, like, marbles and tacks and things behind me so she couldn't follow me. :laugh:

No more love? that's sad, but is that why there were reporters? what was the explaination for them being there? maybe it's two loveless times colliding or something, which doesn't make sense, but neither does Xena being transported through time to be on TV shows. :laugh: At least she has restraint, Gabrielle would be terrified all day every day if she didn't.

Tomby
 
Ooh, that's cool, I'm glad you got to see a little bit of it, anyway. :yes: Go Xena!!!

I did but according to the TV guide they're going back to season two again, what I saw was about Xena having her body switched with Callisto, weird, out of all the people to switch her with, since I only saw the end I'm assuming Callisto got Xena's body, that'd be crazy, her hatred to Xena would probably mean she'd be smashing her face against wooden poles and stuff. :lol:

Tomby
 
Makes perfect sense. :laugh: Still, it feels weird, like giving Xena a blaster or lightsaber. :laugh: Ah, well.

If Xena had a machine gun or something that'd just be mad, she'd be pulling that sadistic joy face while blowing everything up, another funny picture I now have in my head, maybe she could travel through time to a war somewhere and drive tanks and stuff, if she can have bombs and meet reporters then it's possible. :wild1:

Tomby
 
:laugh: Yeah, Kim's friend had it rough. :laugh: Definitely stay away from Kim. I think if I saw her I'd start running away while throwing, like, marbles and tacks and things behind me so she couldn't follow me. :laugh:

Those would work, she'd trip over them, but all you really need is a tiny net or something, she'd get caught in it and then while trying to free herself she'd get herself more stuck, trapping herself, you wouldn't even have to put any effort into that, she'd do that for you, she's so stupid she'd do that for sure. :lol:

Hehe, there wasn't really an explanation for the reporter. He was just there, lol. It just added to the weirdness of that whole episode, which I loved. Like, Eve, who's all into peace, was cursing at the reporter. It was great! :laugh: Haha, if Xena didn't have restraint Gabrielle would have died a million times over on that show. :laugh: Yes, definitely good she didn't meet the old Xena; she so would have died. :laugh:

They went back to season 2?!?! :o How dare they? How do they expect you to see the newer episodes if they don't show them? :cry: Plus, season 2... well, it's okay, but it's on the lower end on my ranking of the seasons. :laugh: Although, Callisto and Xena switching bodies was cool. Hudson did a great job playing Xena, I thought. :yes:

Hehe, that'd be awesome. :D In season 6 they did have an episode where Xena and Gabrielle were cloned in modern times, and Xena didn't really like guns. She said they were useless in hand to hand combat, or something like that. :laugh:

:laugh: That'd work! :laugh: She does seem to have the uncanny ability to get herself in trouble. Gah, for being the daughter of Jack Bauer she doesn't seem to have too many of his skills. I guess she does have the ability to survive, just like he does. Too bad; I want her dead. :laugh:

Random weirdness I like, I don't need everything to make sense, sometimes I like things better when I don't understand them, answering things takes away the mystery, plus we can come up with our own explainations, which means there's lots more time to talk about things. :D It is good, Gabrielle would be in pretty bad luck had Xena ever hit her head on a rock or something and reverted back to her old self, kind of like Terri Bauer's amnesia, just a lot more fun and with more killing, they should have done an episode like that, it would have been awesome. :laugh:

I don't know, I was hoping they'd just keep showing them in order and then I'd eventually be able to see the last episode finally, but after reaching season three they're repeating ones from before it again, argh, I want to see the end of it! :cry: She did seem nice from the few minutes I saw of it, not screaming and being angry, although she was Xena so she would be that way, I'd have liked to see what Callisto was doing, she'd have been bad Xena. :D

Tomby

Teehee, guns in hand to hand combat are useless, the only thing you can do with one is to smack it against someone's head, actually, that seems to be able to knock out or kill people sometimes, maybe Xena just wasn't using them right, but them being cloned, that sounds funny, did they have all army suits on and stuff? that'd be awesome. :o

She's useless, Jack's done as much as he can to help her be ok, but she sneaked out of the house which is why she got kidnapped first, if she had have listened to her dad's advice she'd have been fine then, the only time I think she has listened to him and not gotten into a total mess was when he gave her advice on killing that guy, that was kind of sweet really, him talking her through it in the way any parent should, he did the same when he helped that young officer in the last season to stealth kill that guard by slashing his throat, Jack's the best dad in the world. :laugh:

Randomness is good. :yes: Seriously, season 6 rocked because they could get away with crazy stuff like that in that season. :yes: All the characters rocked in that episode, though, because without love you could never really predict what they were going to say. It was really funny. :yes: Oh, gosh, Terri's amnesia annoyed me in the first season. I mean, I usually don't like the plot device of amnesia; it just really bugs me. But for Terri to get it and recover in just a few hours just grated on my nerves to no end. :laugh: It felt like they had run out of stuff to do, lol. Oh, well. Terri died, so I didn't need to think about it any more. :D

You should be able to see the end of it!!! It's not right that my Steven can't see the end!!! :cry: You know, a few years back on the Oxygen network they were showing Xena, and they were going in order, but I don't think they went past season 4, for some reason. (They have since then, but they're not showing them in order any more, at least not that I know of.) Gah, stupid networks with their not showing to the end. <_< Ooh, it was really cool when Xena and Callisto were in switched bodies and they faced off, that was awesome to see the actresses ry to emulate each other. I actually think Hudson did a better job of it, as much as I like Lucy. Of course, Hudson had a lot more material to study of Xena than Lucy did of Callisto. *shrug* I still think Hudson did a better job at being the other character, though. :yes:

Haha, yes, pistol whipping is a valuable resource. :laugh: Xena didn't seem too interested in that, though. She made herself her own sword. :laugh: Hehe, the people that cloned them ordered replicas of their outfits from the Xena catalogue, so they were wearing their normal costumes. :laugh: Such a lie; I'e seen the Xena catalogue. There's no accurate costumes in it to buy. <_< Ah, well, it's just a story. :laugh:

Aw, Jack is a good daddy. :yes: Like when he didn't contact her when she thought he was dead to protect her. Aw, he's always thinking of others. :hug: :laugh: I'd be scared to have him as a father. True, I'd always be safe, but everyone else I know would die horrible deaths. Best to stay away from that whole family, really. :laugh:

As long as it was good with its randomness and weirdness, some shows don't always manage to do that and get too silly which seems stupid next to the previous seasons, X-Files did that at times, and the last season of Angel got that way too, but Xena was always a little silly at times so it'd be able to get away with that. :D Xena was hard to predict what she'd do anyway, so if she was even worse then that'd be crazy to watch, oh, me wants to see it now. :blink: That annoyed me too, the amnesia subplot was just silly compared to the rest of what was happening, it was cool when Tony had to rescue her, but at least she recovered as to not ruin anymore of it.

I know, it's not fair as I want to see how Xena ended! :cry: That's weak, why didn't they show them all in order? TV does that here with Buffy and Angel, they're always getting shown in order, although Angel's been stuck at the first few seasons, and so has Buffy, I don't bother with them, I like seeing things to the finish, gah, I want Xena to get shown all the way through, now they've stopped showing Cops and started with Chuck Norris, why? Xena would kick his ass. <_< Yeah, Callisto wasn't in as many episodes as Xena was, obviously, so it'd be tougher to be able to copy her, I guess I'll see the episode again if they're randomly showing them in no order.

It's pretty cool in video games, not that many have pistol whipping, I think 24 did, but I couldn't see Xena doing that when she can smack people about easier with a sword, stick to what you know, although it would have been cool for her to go on a shooting spree, if only she'd tried it she might have liked it. :lol: There's no costumes? they'd make a load of cash if they had those, there'd be ladies buying them and guys buying them for ladies as well, oh well, Xena in costume fighting soldiers or whoever would be cool to see.

He is thinking of others, he's given his life away to help others, not that his life ever gets taken as something always saves him, like the disposing of the nuke and when Nina would only give information if she could kill him, he was going to allow it, he's so brave, and also psychotic but it is best to keep away, anyone with anything to do with Jack or Kim will be kidnapped or killed, and sometimes by Jack or Kim, definitely best to stay away.

Okay Steven, did you see Casion Royale opening day?

No, I couldn't, but I went the first showing on the day after, that's not so bad, the only other Bond film I saw at the cinema was The World Is Not Enough and I saw that opening day, first screening too, I'm not such a bad fan then.

Did you see it? if so what did you think to it?

Yeah, season 6 was cool, for me at least, cuz I thought it was willing to go to more extremes as far as violence, sex, silliness (not all in the same episode, though, lol). It fit in with the rest of the show... just, it went farther. :yes: It's really weird for me watching season 1 sometimes, actually, because that silliness wasn't really there yet, and I kind of miss it when I watch that season. Seems they really didn't hit their comedic stride until season 2 with "A Day in the Life." Dang, I love that episode.

I know! Why won't they let my Steven see the end? :cry: I mean, they do have the scripts to all the episodes online, so yu could find out what happened if you wanted to, but it wouldn't be the same as watching it. :( You wouldn't get to see Xena and Gabrielle's kiss! :laugh: Chuck Norris?!?! Gah! They need to show Xena!!! :cry: Why would people in Britain care about some dude in Texas, anyway. :rolleyes: :laugh:

Haha, I could see pistol whipping being in the 24 game; that fits Jack well. :yes: Yeah, Xena wasn't really into it, though. She should have gone on a shooting spree, though! That would have been awesome!!! All these cops coming after her, and she just plows them all down with gunfire. :laugh: That'd be awesome! :laugh: I know, they should have the costumes for sale!!! They have Hercules' gauntlets! Why not Xena stuff!!! :cry: Well, they have replicas of all the weapons: chakram, swords, sais, staff... even the katanas Xena and Gabrielle had in the last episode. But I want costumes, darn it! I'd just hurt myself with a sword. :laugh:

Sounds cool, I knew it would be as it's Xena, and I think I did see a few episodes of the last season, even if I don't really remember them because of my memory being so blurry back then, but it's always weird watching earlier seasons of shows, the look will be all different and there'll be loads more characters, plus they either get darker or lighter, have to go one way so it's strange, but fun too to see where the show's come from. :D

Tomby
 
Yeah, it was good when she recovered, because I was seriously getting annoyed at that. Oh well. No use being upset about it now... even though it did really annoy me at the time.

It's one of those things which gets less annoying the more times I see it, I've seen the first four seasons three times each, which is a lot I guess, but leaves a lot to time to get used to silly bits and know that they don't last for too long. :lol:

I want to see it, I don't know how though, it's not like I can get any of the sets since they don't sell them around here and out of interest I did a search and the shops near me just have soundtracks to order, or random half boxes, that sucks, stupid half boxes suck. :cry: Scripts? that might be ok, but my searches are coming up with everything but a script, even the internet doesn't want me to know what happens! :cry: No idea, Chuck's ok I guess as he did fight Bruce Lee, and lost, badly, I saw a bit of some old wrestling yesterday and he was on that for some reason, he was kind of lame on that, he just stood around and then did this kick on this guy who rolled around for a bit before running away, that was stupid, actually, Xena could definitely beat Chuck, she'd kill him, I want him to leave so Xena can come back! :cry:

Haha, I could see pistol whipping being in the 24 game; that fits Jack well. :yes: Yeah, Xena wasn't really into it, though. She should have gone on a shooting spree, though! That would have been awesome!!! All these cops coming after her, and she just plows them all down with gunfire. :laugh: That'd be awesome! :laugh: I know, they should have the costumes for sale!!! They have Hercules' gauntlets! Why not Xena stuff!!! :cry: Well, they have replicas of all the weapons: chakram, swords, sais, staff... even the katanas Xena and Gabrielle had in the last episode. But I want costumes, darn it! I'd just hurt myself with a sword.

Not only was there pistol whipping but you could sneak behind people and snap their necks, that was fun. :lol: Cops should always be killed in things, they're so annoying, maybe all people who make TV and movies hate them, or they're annoying in real life as well, but whenever they're in movies I just want them to be killed, and then laugh when they are, I'm so cruel, but they deserve it! :laugh: Ugh, they have Hercules stuff and not Xena? that's just cruel because unless Xena is on Hercules, the show I mean, not the man, it's unwatchable, but there should be costumes, that'd be fun, I'd enjoy seeing my Tomby dressed up as Xena, I'd enjoy seeing you dressed in anything really but as Xena would be awesome. :D

Tomby
 
Jack's scary, because he'll kill his friends if it'll help him get what he needs, yeah, so I wouldn't want to be anywhere near him, even if I were on his side he'd probably kill me.

He does hurt his friends, he killed Ryan and busted up Tony's leg a bit once, he even hurt Audrey last season, he had her in a kind of choke hold, and that's to someone he loves, it's good that he's saving the world and all but being his friend isn't the best thing to be.

Tomby
 
Ooh, I saw it opening day! First showing at my theater, too. :) Only other Bond I'd seen in the theater was Die Another Day. :yes: This one was definitely a different experience than that one.

Casino Royale was better than that one, much darker and not stupid in any way, I could have seen Die Another Day at the cinema but I said no because I didn't like the look of it, even as a Bond fan from about five years old I said no, ah well, at least I saw it on TV, so I didn't have to pay to not like it much. :lol: The place was packed when I went, I had to sit near the front, which was really crazy during the action scenes, fun though, the explosions and everything looked better.

I'm seeing it Wednesday.

It didn't do as well as the BO as I would have thought.

Box office doesn't mean anything about quality, I guess a lot of people just have problems with the choice of Bond, but the last film made the most money and that was no where near the best of them, but you should like it, not a lot of reason why you shouldn't.

Sounds cool, I knew it would be as it's Xena, and I think I did see a few episodes of the last season, even if I don't really remember them because of my memory being so blurry back then, but it's always weird watching earlier seasons of shows, the look will be all different and there'll be loads more characters, plus they either get darker or lighter, have to go one way so it's strange, but fun too to see where the show's come from.

I'm sorry you can't remember the episodes from the last season. :hug: It is fun to see where a show came from. :yes: I remember this sitcom called Spin City, and I used to like it back in the day, and I was watching it near the end of its run, and I saw an episode from the first season in syndication. Almost the entire cast was different! :lol: I mean, it was just a completely different show. It was so weird. I did remember the people, but I wouldn't have ever thought about them on my own. :laugh:

My Steven
 
It's one of those things which gets less annoying the more times I see it, I've seen the first four seasons three times each, which is a lot I guess, but leaves a lot to time to get used to silly bits and know that they don't last for too long.

That's true. I think when stuff happens it feels long because you don't know when it's going to end, but then when you know the end's coming it seems really short. It's like that with Terri's coma. Or, like, when Xena was pregnant in season 5. I remember watching that, and it seemed like she was pregnant for a really long time, but watching it now it actually doesn't seem that long. Probably helps that now I don't have to wait a week between episodes. :laugh:

Half boxes?!?! Who wou;d want that! Gah, just a stupid ploy to make more money, I hate those things. Like, here, they have a "best of" Xena DVD with, like, 20 of the show's creator's favorite episodes. Like I want to buy that! I already have all the episodes; I'm not going to freaking spend money to get episodes I already have! *grumble grumble* Sorry, just, stuff like that really annoys me.

If you want to see a script of the last episode, go to http://www.whoosh.org/index.html. On the left click on "Episode Guide." Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on "Friend in Need II." Scroll down to almost the bottom, and under "TRANSCRIPT" click where it says "click here." That's the transcript for the last episode. :yes: Don't know if you'll really want to read it, cuz then you'll already know what happens when you finally are able to see it. Your call.

I haven't watched enough Walker Texas Ranger to really know anything about it. To be honest all I've seen of it is when Conan O'Brien shows clips of it and makes fun of it (which is awesome, but I digress). So, yeah... from what I've seen his fighting style always makes me laugh, but that could just be because of the way Conan edits it. :laugh:

Haha, that does sound like fun. Nice, violent game, lol. Yeah, cops are often portrayed as evil in movies and TV shows, I know Alfred Hitchcock was afraid of the police; if you watch the police man in Psycho that's how he thought of them, all menacing and always watching you, although I always found the police man in Psycho kind of comforting, like, "If only he'd stuck around Norman couldn't have killed her!" I guess Hitch and I have different views of the cops, lol. Hehe, I did dress up as Xena for Halloween in 10th grade, but it was a homemade costume that I made myself, and my skills of garment construction were less than impressive at the time, so I don't think you'd be too impressed by it, lol.

I went to Die Another Day with a bunch of friends in college down in Westwood and afterward we went to a music store that had a stage up in the second story where they were giving beginning bands a chance to play that night, and this guy I knew was performing so I went to see him, so it was this whole night thing, lol. Really fun, cuz it was with friends... one of the few times in my life I've felt normal, actually... like i was doing what people expect somebody my age to do... it was fun, although I never would have gone to see the bands on my own. Just... not me. Meh. Ooh, at my viewing of Casino Royale the theater wasn't packed, but it never is here, but there was more than ten people there, which is actually pretty good for this theater, lol.

It does, I got the same thing with DMC and that was only a film, it seemed much shorter the second time I saw it, but it's worse with shows as they can really drag things out and there's this hope that they end part of what's happening soon but then another week passes where it's still happening, but I guess Xena's pregnancy was supposed to last a while, births don't happen quickly. :lol: What annoyed me worse than Terri's amnesia, in season two when Jack had to get the recording back to CTU, over the last so many hours he'd get the recording and lose it and then have to get it back again, then it'd get damaged and... ugh, that still annoys me if I see that season. :blink:

It's so poopy, I was wondering why I'd never seen a box of it and then when I search it's all season 1.2 and stuff, that sucks and even more so since each part costs more than a whole season of another show would, and they don't even have all the half boxes, only one half of most seasons. :( I hate that too, why would a fan want to buy a set of random episodes when they most likely have them all anyway? they're ok for people who haven't seen the show, if they're willing to pay out for them, which they're probably not, so pointless.

Ooh, thank you! I'll read it, I know then I'll know what happens when I can see the last episode, but that should really be if I get to see the last episode, plus I'm not too bothered about knowing what happens, I know she dies anyway, it only bothers me if someone somewhere spoils the end of 24 for me, as has happened the last three seasons. <_<

I haven't seen much of it either, but I guess he's called Walker and he's a Texas Ranger, that's about the whole plot put there in the title, and it's Chuck kicking people in the head or whatever, I guess I can pass on it then, but now TV's gone back to Cops again and put Chuck on a little later, uuuugh, if they can keep doing stuff like that they can squeeze Xena in there somewhere, I hates UK TV sometimes.

It was nice, can't alert lots of people by shooting all the time so a little neck break was needed at times, I've played more violent games with even worse stealth kills so it's nice in comparison to those. :lol: Mostly they're evil, like in First Blood, or stupid, like in Blues Brothers, those cops couldn't do much at all, but the worst ones were in The Hitcher, they had me siding with the murdering psychopath, I guess people who make movies and TV just want us to hate the cops for some reason, which is weird since they're supposed to be helping people. :laugh: Aww, I'm sure your costume was a good one, no one's going to say anything bad about Xena so you chose wisely with that, did you have any weapons to go with it, like a little homemade Chakram or something?

It was sad, but I'm not sure if that really counts as a kill, there's different versions of how many people Jack's killed because of that, and some people don't list him killing a dog in day 2, animals can die too, but Paul died after he saved Jack, before he saved him Jack electricuted him, he's so nice to his girlfriend's ex-husbands.

Maybe it's with it being Bond and in Britain, the cinema near me is always pretty empty when I go, I've actually been all alone a few times, and when I went to see School of Rock years ago it only me and a friend so we turned it into a singalong, so funny, and no one to complain about it. :lol:

Yeah, I mean, Lucy Lawless was pregnant in real life, so they couldn't really make that any faster, lol. At the time, though, it felt really long, lol. I was probably just impatient. :laugh: Haha, that was annoying with that recording. It kind of reminds me of this miniseries called The 10th Kingdom where for a lot of the movie they are chasing after this mirror, and when they finally get it you'd think they'd watch it, but no, they lose it again, and then when they finally get it back again they break it. :rolleyes: People in movies are so horrible about watching after their things. :laugh:

Ooh, that's so annoying, that reminds me of when I was trying to get all the seasons, but in the stores they always had season 6, and then sometimes, like, 3 and 5 I think were the other two that I could find, but I wanted all of them!

Yeah, the clips I've seen always have him fighting with kicking people and stuff, but I guess it looks weird because the show takes place in the present and feels kind of real, so that exaggerated style of fighting looks weird, even though when Xena does the same moves I like it, but that's more fantasy so I can accept more impossible moves. Yeah, they don't show Xena much here, either, sometimes on Oxygen or Sci-Fi, but actually I don't think she's been on Sci-Fi for years. :cry:

Oh well. Haha, I did have a home made chakram, but it was just made out of cardboard. :laugh: I put velcro on one side of it and on my skirt so that it hung on but I could grab it and throw it when I needed to. I spray painted it gray and then I had this gel pen that drew in this gold/bronze color and I put the design on with that. Meh, not the best looking chakram ever, but it worked for my outfit. :laugh:

Yeah, Jack didn't outright kill him, but it's kind of like in Little Shop of Horrors when Seymore just lets the dentist die from the laughing gas and doesn't help him. Neither outright killed the guy, but they could have prevented their deaths if they wanted to. :laugh: Sure, they should count the dog! Poor doggie. :lol:

Yeah, I usually do stuff alone. I went to see Casino Royale alone, nobody wanted to go with me! :cry: I think my dad would have liked it, too, if he had seen it, but he's kind of being a jerk and anything I say I like he dislikes automatically, so since I wanted to go see it he didn't. *shrug* Just hurting himself, really. Anyway... aw, if I were in England I'd ask you to do stuff with me! :wub:

I really don't like it when actors are replaced, it only works with Bond or Doctor Who, but that's because the character has a load of lives so he can die and come back as another actor, I don't think that'd really work with other shows, people can't die and come back in real life, I think it annoyed me the most in Matrix Revolutions when they had a different Oracle, I know the original actress died and they couldn't really have a film without her, but the replacement gets on my nerves a bit fo some reason. :blink:

I guess that would be strange since Lucy wouldn't have been able to do as much while pregnant and they'd have to have more stunt doubling than usual, as long as it was still fun while she was, that's what matters. :yes: I haven't seen that one, but things in movies and such are so predictably going to get stolen or broken or something, it really annoys me when a character spends ages trying to find something and when they find it they have to examine it, even if there's people out to kill them at the time, because you just know that it'll get stolen if they don't hurry up, I'll be all "hurry up or you'll get it taken from you" which I rarely do at movies,I can usually stay quiet, but scenes like that get to me.

At least you got them all, and in one box would probably take up less space as well I'd imagine, but having random whole boxes is a lot better than random half boxes, and I only want to see the end of it anyway, stupid companies trying to make more money by splitting things in half, that's so evil, not as evil as TV taking it off and replacing it with Chuck Norris and Cops, but it's getting there.

I read the transcripts for the last two episodes, so I kind of know what happened, while also a bit confused since a lot of it was random noises so it was hard to tell what was happening without any direction notes, still nice to know what happened to Xena finally. :D Oh my... you got told what happened in Sixth Sense? that's so cruel! I was lucky that way as I didn't even know much of what it was about, at the time I was supposed to be going with a friend to see Blair Witch, and I thought that sounded crappy so I talked my way into seeing dead people instead, even though I hadn't seen any reviews or much else for it, best way to see things I guess, I even saw Matrix that way, don't get that now with having the internet but it was nice then for surprises.

I haven't seen a whole lot of it but Chuck's pretty 80's for fighting, it's a dated fighting style which looks weird compared to newer stuff, Xena was cool as the fight scenes were pretty far-fetched as far as gravity goes, she can do several flips in the air from a tiny jump or spin around in the air without holding onto anything for about a minute, and we don't care since she's the warrior princess, Chuck's just 80's, and old, why is he replacing Xena then? it makes no sense to me. :(

Yeah, it is weird, maybe they're trying to turn us all into anti-establishment revolutionists. Okay, not really, but it is rather sad, I know some cops, and they're nice people. Oh well. Haha, I did have a home made chakram, but it was just made out of cardboard. :laugh: I put velcro on one side of it and on my skirt so that it hung on but I could grab it and throw it when I needed to. I spray painted it gray and then I had this gel pen that drew in this gold/bronze color and I put the design on with that. Meh, not the best looking chakram ever, but it worked for my outfit.

They're subliminally altering our perceptions of the police force, I'm sure they're not all bribe taking, trigger happy, stupid and often evil people, even if that's how they're made out to be sometimes, I still don't know if I'd want to know one too well, incase they try arrest me or something, although I've had no troubles and I live next door to one. :o Teehee, that sounds like a cute Chakram, not sure how well it'd be for using as a weapon but it would have looked nice and that's much better, since throwing things at people isn't something I think my Tomby would do. :lol:

Yeah, Jack didn't outright kill him, but it's kind of like in Little Shop of Horrors when Seymore just lets the dentist die from the laughing gas and doesn't help him. Neither outright killed the guy, but they could have prevented their deaths if they wanted to. :laugh: Sure, they should count the dog! Poor doggie.

Jack tried to save him by shocking him with the paddle things, he did save more lives by making the doctors work on the other guy, if he hadn't all of LA would have been wiped out by a nuclear missile and that'd just be sad, but I'm still not sure if that counts as a kill, he looked so sad afterwards, poor Jack, but he definitely killed that dog in day two, one blast with his shotgun and it was no more, I guess he should be kept away from animals as well as people. :laugh:

Yeah, I usually do stuff alone. I went to see Casino Royale alone, nobody wanted to go with me! :cry: I think my dad would have liked it, too, if he had seen it, but he's kind of being a jerk and anything I say I like he dislikes automatically, so since I wanted to go see it he didn't. *shrug* Just hurting himself, really. Anyway... aw, if I were in England I'd ask you to do stuff with me! :wub:

Aww, you should have had someone want to go to the cinema with you, I'm almost always having to go on my own as people just don't like the same films as me most of the time, I did get a friend to see Casino Royale but just about everyone likes Bond, even my niece liked what she saw of Living Daylights before wandering off and not coming back, I was alone today when I went to the cinema, no one in there at all, but if I lived closer to you I'd be asking you to go places with me all the time, I'm not sure where I'd ask you to but any place would be a good place as long as I had my Tomby with me. :wub:
