The late season 9 X-Files episode "Jump The Shark," where they kill off The Lone Gunmen. What the hell?

I remember in the final season of Friends. Joey was making such a fuss because several members of group were moving away from New York. He was upset and thought they should all stick together.
But then he leaves for L.A for that failed spin-off show. What a hypocrite.

But then he leaves for L.A for that failed spin-off show. What a hypocrite. Nothing about "Joey" makes sense. Not only do his sisters on the show look NOTHING like they did on Friends, or at least like any of his family did, in case they're "new sisters", but... you know what, I'll stop there. The show is its own indictment. The fact it actually won some People's Choice Awards just shows that people at large must be barely literate or something.

CHUCK: This up coming season, they hired Kristen Kruink ( LANA!!!! THE ONE WE MUST ALL WORSHIP BECAUSE SHE IS SO f***ING BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT THAT THE SHOW REVOLVES AROUND HER NOT CLARK!!! from SMALLVILLE and star of the instaclassic STREET FIGHTER: THE BORING SAGA OF CHUN LI) Just keep in mind that Chuck was able to make an entertaining episode with Nicole Ritchie as the guest star. So I'm not too worried about Kristin Kreuk being on Chuck.

Saw: First one was alright, but I had some issues. Spoilers, so beware. 1. Boy, that guy dying of cancer sure must be strong as an ox, considering he had to of dragged two full grown men to the middle of nowhere, without any help that I would know of, except MAYBE from that guy who looks like Klaus Nomi with no makeup that has the Dread Pirate Roberts' family trapped. 2. does him laying on the floor serve any point whatsoever? was he taking sedatives or something to lay so still and if so, what is the payoff exactly? no way he can be awake to hear them and lay that still for lord knows how long. 3. Shoot this annoying stranger and get free to see my family, with virtually no chance of legal or moral consequence to save my dearest loved ones? "It's been nice knowing you" being what me and most people would be saying. 4. Why can't a doctor of all people know to cut off PART of the foot, and escape in pain but not bleeding to death? 5. He uses the shirt to reach something before, but somehow utterly fails to remember that when the phone later rings out of his reach or whatever. So naturally, he lops off his leg, while only his face turns white without any of the rest of him fading in color. I could be remembering some of this stuff wrong, I could be wrong in my logic, but it just kills a lot of the suspense. Don't get me started on the sequels. Cary Elwes, what do you have to say in your defense? www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuLGMaPXgZkUhh, sure, that works....

TITANIC: that piece of wood Kate Winslet was sitting on was big enough to hold Leo as well. I'm not sure it could've held both of their weights though. It could've sunk, killing the two of them.

So I'm not too worried about Kristin Kreuk being on Chuck. I still think her best role was as that unprincipled slut Fiona in Eurotrip. The best part? I think she's only on screen for like 7 minutes or so.

The late season 9 X-Files episode "Jump The Shark," where they kill off The Lone Gunmen. What the hell? I had just started watching X Files episodes again (because I got bored with them) that season until they killed off The Lone Gunmen. I actually said out loud "Son of a Bitch ..." and never watched another episode. Not that it mattered ...

They **did** try to share it, but it flipped over. Im not sure that sharing would have worked either, The water was so cold that even getting in and out of it would have caused shock.

I'm guessing you have not seen Saw 3. I would explain but then it would spoil Saw 2. But he did have help.

She layed mostly still and didn't get hypothermia or frostbite, though, so it still might of been viable. Either way, the movie was a mixed bag.

Don't forget that she also swam through the water when she was already pretty much freezing to death, to reach the whistle and get some attention. Which is nonsense.

The way Quantum Leap ended it's series finale. Agreed. Sorely disappointing.

Boy, that guy dying of cancer sure must be strong as an ox, considering he had to of dragged two full grown men to the middle of nowhere, without any help that I would know of, except MAYBE from that guy who looks like Klaus Nomi with no makeup that has the Dread Pirate Roberts' family trapped. It's stated in the sequels (s soon as Saw 2 IIRC) that Amanda helps him. 2. does him laying on the floor serve any point whatsoever? was he taking sedatives or something to lay so still and if so, what is the payoff exactly? no way he can be awake to hear them and lay that still for lord knows how long. Jigsaw himself explains that he took some sort of drugs to keep him in an hibernal state. I guess he wanted to be here so he could end the "game" once the time is over, to make sure they would not cheat by trying to escape after the time is up. Also, there needed to be a corpse in the middle of the room for the whole "tape player and gun" part, but Jigsaw despises murderers so he wouldn't kill someone just for that. 3. Shoot this annoying stranger and get free to see my family, with virtually no chance of legal or moral consequence to save my dearest loved ones? "It's been nice knowing you" being what me and most people would be saying. OK, you sorta have a point on that one. My only guess is that he's the opposite of Gregory House and thinks a surgeon should always act nice. After all, he does change his mind and cancels his date with the Asian girl at the last moment, too. Also, he was suspected of being Jigsaw and heard about his previous "games" from the police, so he may suspect that Jigsaw is playing around with him and will actually punish him and/or his family if he does kill Adam. And last but not least, would YOU trust a serial killer? 4. Why can't a doctor of all people know to cut off PART of the foot, and escape in pain but not bleeding to death? He applied that tourniquet for a reason, you know. Granted, he actually applied it on the wrong place, but that's beside the point. Also, cutting part of his foot wouldn't work considering the shackles are pretty tight. 5. He uses the shirt to reach something before, but somehow utterly fails to remember that when the phone later rings out of his reach or whatever. So naturally, he lops off his leg, while only his face turns white without any of the rest of him fading in color. When they used the shirt, they had to tie it to something else in order to grab the audio player, the shirt itself is too short, and there's nothing on the cellphone that would allow to grab it and pull it. I could be remembering some of this stuff wrong, I could be wrong in my logic, but it just kills a lot of the suspense. Don't get me started on the sequels.

Saw seemed fine to me. It and it's sequels were contrived, but fine.

Let's go back to Titanic for a second. An engaged girl got it on with a guy she knew for 24 hours and women everywhere thought it was romantic. If you change the scene from a boat to a bar won't all those same women start shouting "What a slut"?

The Doctor becomes a God because everyone on the planet is chanting his name.
WHAT?!
I still can't get my head around that.
