I am – Hercules!!


CBS’ fall slate will be formally announced in about an hour. Some highlights:

* “Amazing Race” is gone from Sundays, at least for the time being. A new edition will air at midseason.

* “Without A Trace” returns to Thursdays at 10 p.m., where it routinely beat “ER” for first place in that timeslot.

* “Shark,” which was opposite “ER,” is now on Sundays opposite “Brothers and Sisters.”

* “Cold Case” has been moved to an hour later, where it will content with “Desperate Housewives.”

* CBS is going up against “Deal or No Deal” and “Pushing Daisies” with a non-elimination reality show, “Kid Nation,” about 8- to 15-year-olds who take over a ghost town without adult supervision.

* CBS pilots that did not go to series:

“Babylon Fields,” starring Ray Stevenson (“Rome”) and Amber Tamblyn (“Joan of Arcadia”), a comedy-drama hourlong about a town dealing with its zombies.

“Demons,” from “Joan of Arcadia” creator Barbara Hall, an hourlong about a psychologist who performs exorcisms.

“Protect and Serve,” from writer-producer Gary Scott Thompson (“The Fast and the Furious”), an hourlong about street cops in suburban Los Angeles.

“Skip Tracer,” from Mitchell Burgess and Robin Green (“Northern Exposure,” “The Sopranos”), an hourlong about Los Angeles-based bounty hunters.

“Fugly,” from “Yes Dear”/”My Name Is Earl” creator Greg Garcia, a sitcom about a twin who gets an extreme makeover and moves to Hollywood.

CBS announced today its 2007-2008 Fall Primetime lineup, featuring five new series — one comedy, three dramas and one reality program.

These freshman series will join 17 returning programs on the current CBS lineup, which will win the 2006-2007 season in viewers and adults 25-54, continuing the Network's multi-year winning streak.

The five new series feature bold and creative concepts, including Viva Laughlin, where drama is accented by iconic music; Cane, starring Jimmy Smits as the head of a powerful South Florida Cuban-American family; Moonlight, a romantic thriller with a new twist on the vampire legend; The Big Bang Theory, a comedy about genius geeks from "Two and A Half Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre; and KID NATION, a reality series where 40 kids will try to build a new society in an abandoned ghost town.

"We approached our development this year with a specific goal in mind — to be daring and different," said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. "The Fall and mid-season series we have selected offer creativity and variety with great potential to excite and surprise television audiences everywhere."

These new shows will be woven into a deep and successful lineup that returns more series and has more time period-winning programs than any other network. CBS will return television's Number One drama and scripted program, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION; the Number One comedy, TWO AND A HALF MEN; the Number One new comedy, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT; the Number One news magazine, 60 MINUTES; and the premiere reality series, SURVIVOR.

Also returning are: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, CSI: MIAMI , NCIS, THE UNIT, CRIMINAL MINDS, CSI: NY, WITHOUT A TRACE, GHOST WHISPERER, NUMB3RS, COLD CASE and SHARK, as well as 48 HOURS: MYSTERY and CRIMETIME SATURDAY.

The new 2007–2008 schedule is:

On Monday, CBS adds a new series to television's top rated comedy lineup. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, with a young and loyal audience, returns at 8:00 PM, paired with the new genius comedy THE BIG BANG THEORY at 8:30 PM to form a young adult comedy block. From 9:00-10:00 PM, CBS returns television's top comedy, TWO AND A HALF MEN, followed by the Number One new comedy, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. At 10:00 PM, CSI: MIAMI, the night’s Number One scripted series, returns for its sixth season.

On Tuesday, the Top 20 hit NCIS and THE UNIT return from 8:00-10:00 PM. This successful two-hour drama block will serve as a launching pad for the stylish new drama CANE at 10:00 PM.

On Wednesday, CBS returns its successful duo of CRIMINAL MINDS and CSI: NY from 9:00-11:00 PM. Earlier in the evening at 8:00 PM, the network will try something very different with a new reality series, KID NATION, starring 40 remarkable kids attempting to prove they can form a functioning society in an abandoned New Mexico ghost town, where their adult predecessors failed.

On Thursday, CBS returns one of television's top dramas, WITHOUT A TRACE, to 10:00 PM, joining forces once again with the time period-winning SURVIVOR at 8:00 PM and CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, television's Number One drama, at 9:00 PM.

CBS will again use an established series as a launch pad for a new one on Friday. GHOST WHISPERER opens at 8:00 PM as a compatible lead-in to the new romantic thriller MOONLIGHT at 9:00 PM, followed by the return of the time period-winning drama NUMB3RS at 10:00 PM.

Saturdays will feature CBS's CRIMETIME programming from 8:00-10:00 PM, followed by 48 HOURS: MYSTERY, the night's top-rated program.

On Sunday, CBS will once again open with 60 MINUTES, the perennial Number One newsmagazine on television. At 8:00 PM, CBS will make one of its biggest moves with one of its boldest new shows, VIVA LAUGHLIN, a drama with music, based on the British hit "Viva Blackpool." From 9:00-11:00 PM, the network will program a two-hour block of successful crime and justice with the growing COLD CASE and the sophomore series SHARK.

In addition to the new series for Fall, the network announced the pick up of three programs for midseason, including the four-time Emmy Award-winning THE AMAZING RACE, the comedy THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE, starring Emmy Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and the provocative new drama SWINGTOWN.

The network also announced it has ordered the reality series POWER OF 10, hosted by comedian Drew Carey ("The Drew Carey Show") for this summer.

The new comedy is:

THE BIG BANG THEORY is a comedy from the Emmy Award nominated Co-Creator and Executive Producer of "Two and a Half Men" Chuck Lorre, about brainy best friends Leonard (Johnny Galecki, "Roseanne") and Sheldon (Jim Parsons "Judging Amy"), who can tell you anything you want to know about quantum physics, but when it comes to dealing with everyday life here on earth they're lost in the cosmos. Neither fully understands that scientific principles don't always apply in matters of the heart — until they meet their sexy new neighbor Penny (Kaley Cuoco, "8 Simple Rules…"), a friendly screenwriter/waitress from the midwest who also happens to be newly single. She quickly makes an impression on the other members of Leonard and Sheldon's geek squad — Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip"), who portrays himself as the Casanova of Cal Tech, and fellow whiz kid Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar, "NCIS"), who is rendered speechless around anyone unprepared to converse about the Theory of Relativity or other scientific jargon. The chemistry between this gaggle of geniuses and a delightful damsel is about to undergo a stimulating series of inter-personal experiments. Multiple Emmy Award winner James Burrows ("Will & Grace") directed the pilot. Lorre and Bill Prady ("Gilmore Girls," "Dharma & Greg") are executive producers for Warner Bros. Television.

The new dramas are:

Executive produced by Tony and Emmy Award winner Hugh Jackman ("The Boy from Oz," "X-Men"), VIVA LAUGHLIN is a mystery drama with music about eternal optimist and freewheeling businessman Ripley Holden, whose sole ambition is to run a casino in Laughlin, Nev. Occasionally using upbeat contemporary songs to accentuate the drama and humor and advance the story, the series is based on the hit BBC show "Viva Blackpool." Ripley (Lloyd Owen, "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles") is the ultimate gambler with an infectious personality who is on the brink of making a killing… just as soon as he opens his casino that's nowhere near completion. When his financing suddenly falls through, the fearless and tenacious Ripley approaches his enemy — dashing, sarcastic, wealthy casino owner Nicky Fontana (Hugh Jackman) for help. Though the odds are stacked against him, Ripley doesn't miss a beat, even when he becomes embroiled in a murder investigation after the body of his ex-business partner is found at his club. At home, Ripley uses his dry wit to adjust to the demands of his family: his gorgeous wife, Natalie (Madchen Amick, "ER"), wants more attention; his teenage daughter, Cheyenne (Ellen Woglom, "The O.C."), wants his approval; and his son, Jack (Carter Jenkins, "Surface"), wants to help him at work. All of this adversity would defeat a lesser man, but for the outgoing and passionate Ripley there's no such thing as bad news, only deals to be struck and wagers to be won in the intoxicating neon glow of Laughlin, where the cards are on the table, romance is in the air and lively music is on the stage. Eric Winter ("Wildfire") and D.B. Woodside ("24") also star. Directed by Gabriele Muccino ("The Pursuit of Happyness"). Golden Globe Award nominee Hugh Jackman, John Palermo ("X-Men: The Last Stand"), Bob Lowry ("Huff"), Paul Telegdy and Peter Bowker ("Viva Blackpool") are executive producers for BBC Worldwide Productions, Seed Productions, CBS Paramount Network Television in association with Sony Pictures Television.

CANE stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Jimmy Smits ("The West Wing") in an epic drama about the external rivalries and internal power struggles of a large Cuban-American family running an immensely successful rum and sugar business in South Florida . When the family patriarch, Pancho (Hector Elizondo, "Chicago Hope"), is offered a lucrative but questionable deal by his bitter adversary, the Samuels, to purchase thousands of acres of sugar fields, he's faced with a tough choice: Should he cash out of the sugar business and focus solely on rum, which would please his impulsive natural son, Frank (Nestor Carbonell, "Lost"), or protect the family legacy that he built from the ground up by not selling, and side with his adopted son, Alex (Smits), who mistrusts the Samuels and still sees value in sugar. Alex and Frank's approach to business is as different as their approach to life. While Frank might lose focus chasing women, Alex is deeply in love with his beautiful wife, Isabel (Paola Turbay, "Bailando por un Sueño"), who is also Pancho's daughter. Married when she was just 17 years old, Isabel balances Alex by choosing not to involve herself in the business, focusing instead on their three children, who are determined to forge their own paths outside the family. For the Duques, will family allegiance come first or will their secrets and acrimonious conflicts over love, lust and control of the family fortune be their downfall? Eddie Matos (" General Hospital"), Rita Moreno ("West Side Story"), Michael Trevino ("The Riches"), Lina Esco ("CSI: NY"), Sam Carman ("Bones"), Alona Tal ("Veronica Mars") and Polly Walker (" Rome") also star. Cynthia Cidre ("The Mambo Kings"), Jonathan Prince ("American Dreams"), Jimmy Iovine ("8 Mile") and Polly Anthony ("Lifehouse: Live in Portland !") are the executive producers for ABC Studios in association with CBS Paramount Network Television.

MOONLIGHT, from prolific movie producer Joel Silver ("The Matrix," Trilogy), is about Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin, upcoming "White Out"), a captivating "undead" private investigator who uses his acute vampire senses to help the living… instead of feeding on them. In an agonizing twist of fate, Mick was "bitten" 60 years ago by his new bride, the seductive and beguiling Coraline (Amber Valletta, "Hitch"). Immortal and eternally as young, handsome and charismatic as he was then, Mick is sickened by Coraline and other vampires who view humans only as a source of nourishment. With only a handful of undead confidantes for company, including deceitful ally Josef (Rade Serbedzija, "24"), Mick fills his infinite days protecting the living, and trying not to think about how his life would have been if he hadn't followed his heart. However, after six decades of resisting, he wonders if it's time to pursue the love of a mortal. He has his eyes on Beth Turner, a beautiful, ambitious reporter who has been covering the ongoing plague of unusual murders. But would Beth even consider giving up a normal life to be with him, and can Mick risk the pain of seeing himself as a monster in her eyes? As Mick lives between two realities, fighting his adversaries among the undead and falling in love with Beth, he knows he needs to figure out a reason to keep "living." MOONLIGHT is directed by executive producer Rod Holcomb ("ER"). Joel Silver, Ron Koslow ("Birds of Prey"), Trevor Munson and Gerard Bocaccio are also executive producers for Warner Bros. Television.

The new reality series is:

KID NATION is a reality-based series in which 40 kids will have 40 days to build a new world — in a ghost town that died in the 19th Century. These kids, ages 8-15, will spend more than a month without their parents or modern comforts in Bonanza City , N.M. , attempting to do what their forefathers could not — build a town that works. They will cook their own meals, clean their own outhouses, haul their own water and even run their own businesses — including the old town saloon (root beer only). They'll also create a real government — four kid leaders who will guide the group through their adventure, pass laws and set bedtimes. Through it all, they'll cope with regular childhood emotions and situations: homesickness, peer pressure and the urge to break every rule they've ever known. At the end of each episode, all 40 kids will gather at an old fashioned Town Hall meeting where they will debate the issues facing Bonanza City . They'll show wisdom beyond their years and the unflinching candor that only kids can exhibit. There are no eliminations on KID NATION — you only go home if you want to. And in every Town Hall meeting, kids may raise their hands and leave. Will they stick it out? In the end, will these kids prove to adults everywhere (and their own parents!) that they have the vision to build a better world than the pioneers who came before them? And just as importantly, will they come together as a cohesive unit, or will they abandon all responsibility and succumb to the childhood temptations that lead to round-the-clock chaos? KID NATION is produced by Emmy Award winner Tom Forman ("Extreme Makeover: Home Edition") for Tom Forman Prods. and Good TV, Inc.

The new summer reality series is:

POWER OF 10, hosted by award-winning comedian Drew Carey ("The Drew Carey Show"), is a high-stakes game that challenges contestants to guess the behaviors, opinions and lifestyle choices of the American public for the chance to win $10 million. POWER OF 10 polls thousands of people across the U.S. asking them, well, just about everything — from "What percentage of married Americans said they were virgins the day they got married?" to "What percentage of American's believe they are smarter than the president?" Each week, contestants must decide if they have their finger on the pulse of the American majority and can accurately predict the results of these nationwide surveys. With the first question worth $1,000 and only five questions to answer, each one increasing 10 times in value, contestants participate in a potentially lucrative game where they just might walk away with $10 million. The higher they are on the money ladder, the closer they must be to the actual statistic. The studio audience and a friend can help them, but the final answer is theirs. Michael Davies ("Who Wants to be a Millionaire") is executive producer for Embassy Row in association with Sony Pictures Television.


The new midseason series is:

SWINGTOWN, from the director of "Big Love" and " Rome ," peeks into the shag-carpeted suburban homes of the 1970s to find couples reveling in the sexual and social revolution that introduced open marriages, women's liberation and challenged many conventional wisdoms. During this heady era of provocative change, Susan (Molly Parker, "Deadwood") and Bruce Miller (Jack Davenport, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest") move their family to an affluent Chicago suburb in search of a different sense of community, and they look forward to barbecues and get-togethers with their new neighbors, as well as a change of pace for their teenage daughter and pre-teen son. Enter Tom (Grant Show, " Melrose Place ") and Trina (Lana Parrilla, "24") Decker, a striking, outgoing couple on the hunt who redefine the term "neighborhood watch." After a mind-blowing evening with them, Susan and Bruce realize that couples in this town share much more than recipes, local gossip and a view of Lake Michigan, and are worlds apart from their former conservative neighbors, Janet (Miriam Shor, "Big Day") and Roger (Josh Hopkins, "Brothers & Sisters") Thompson. Susan's loyal friend Janet is appalled by what she witnesses in this new neighborhood, while Roger, though dutiful to his wife, may be more intrigued than she knows. In a changing social climate — defined by its music, fashion and style — everyone in SWINGTOWN is confronted with personal choices, experimentation and shifting attitudes. Shanna Collins ("Wildfire"), Aaron Howles and Brittany Robertson ("Freddie") also star. Mike Kelley ("The O.C.") and director Alan Poul ("Six Feet Under") are executive producers for CBS Paramount Network Television.

    Les Moonves: "If It's Boring, The Address Is CBS".

    by filmcritic3000

    I'm a big fan of Amber Tamblyn and it irritates me to no end that all the buzz was behind "Babylon Fields" getting picked up and then all of a sudden they decide that "Moonlight", a Xerox of "Forever Knight"/"Angel" (which was pretty much DOA from what I understand) gets a series order.

    Why can't zombies and vampire co-exist on the same network?! Why?!

    Damn you, Tiffany Network!!!

    Well, maybe if something bombs, they can decide to bring back "Babylon Fields". Well, it's a thought, anyway.

    After reading their fall schedule, once again my CBS viewing ratio is all but nil, save for "How I Met Your Mother" and "Moonlight". I have this sneaking suspicion that certain people at CBS would really love to shake things up, schedule-wise, but the iron fist of Les Moonves clamps down on any type of deviation from the CBS norm (i.e. yawn-inducing crime procedurals).

    You put it in a nutshell. None of the networks are offering much that seems worthwhile. I didn't love Jericho, and I can definitely live without it; but I have to laugh that CBS cancelled the only show of theirs I watched this year, that wasn't called CSI.

    Between CBS offing Jericho and NBC killing Studio 60 ( the only new shows, form this past fall,that I watched) it'll definitely be a good time to rediscover Netflix.

    Shark on Sunday nights at 10:00? It could work; hardly any competition unless a good game is on NBC. CSI: NY still on? That show is joke. And how long will the rest of the CSI shows hang on until they run out of ways to find dead bodies?

    Did I read that right?? Hugh Jackman owns a casino in Laughlin, Nevada and he's the producer of the series? Didn't see that coming. Also that Kid Nation thing. So they have to live in Bonanza for 40 days....will they be haunted by the ghost of Michael Landon or any of the Cartrights for that matter?

    Damn you CBS. Not that I ever had any real hope of seeing an hourlong about zombies on net TV, but... meh. Kinda sucks about Jericho. I stopped watching it for the most part a few weeks back... Now I'm wondering if it's worth catching up on. Especially since my dad loves to tell me all about what happened every week. o_O;; Good premise though. Would have worked better on HBO, where they could actual show... you know... a *realistic* apocalypse... not the candyass fairy tale world that Jericho took place in. Then again, I guess I've never been to a small town in Kansas before.

    by evilwizardglick

    The nice thing about Blood Ties is the Vamp is kind of weak. And Cox isn't Buffy. No super strength.
    The special effects in the first episode held quite a bit more potential than what was realized. Those fight scenes were excellent.
    For a strong woman show it is fairly decent. And in light of the lack of Sci-fi and Horror programming it steps up a notch.
    Why ignore Cox assistant, she is hot too?

    AICn posts an entirely pointless "we know how it ends but no spoilers" articles, then deletes it when people post spoilers, then "punishes" it's users by withholding the weekly Lost fan gabfest? Hey, no one says they have to post about anything or even have a web site. No one says they will have a web site if they drive all their regular visiters away. And no one's talking about boycotting their advertisers. since I run with mozilla firefox with ad-block, I have no idea if AICN even still has advertisers, other than the folks who give them free movie caps and preview passes. How do... well, never mind, it' snone of my business how these people make a living doing this. they host conversations about upcoming popular TV shows and movies and then maybe on the side do something honorable like dealing a little pot. Naw, then they'd never get anything done. maybe that's it. yesterday someone complained they posted 28 articles in one day, then today it's like they forgot to post a weekly Lost talkback. They must be really baked, partying and waiting for the show to start, all "I keep thinking there's something I forgot to do..."

On cable: Monk (occassionally), Galactica, and Mythbusters. Wow.

And, if the spoiler is true, it appears they do... down to where at least two characters end up...

    just a suggestion. Yeah I thought it turned out to be a solid episode as well. Seeing the long shot of charlie standing in the outrigger about to jump in the water was quite moving. Although why did he have to knock out Desmond? I'm sure Desmond would have let him jump in if he said he wanted to. Only reason why Desmond seemed to volunteer was that Charlie wasn't eager at that point to head to his doom lol. Kudos to Desmond to volunteering.

    This is a rare one where two characters got flashbacks during the episode. Karl and Charlie. I wonder if they are testing this idea to try different flashbacks in the same episode like in Exodus.

    I think that that Locke taking control has been hinted since his episode with the 'Sweat Lodge' maybe the island trusts him over Ben and the Hostiles. Anyway right now the focus is how this season will end not the whole show.

    Cut the cable, save the burnout!

    by evilwizardglick

    Why not just cut the goddamned cable?
    You can not broadcast anything from underwater. That is why subs either rise to the surface or raise an antenna.
    The jamming signal ran from Looking Glass through the cable to the antenna.
    Sayid had a nice sharp machete.
    Why not take the machete, or even a shot gun and CUT THE FREAKING CABLE!

    the only pilot I'm interested in from any network is

    by demosthenes2

    Pushing Daisies. The zombie town pilot sounded interesting, and the vampire one doesn't for some reason and not because of the Angel similarities--I just have a feeling it'll be standalone eps like all CBS shows and less appealing to mythology-obsessed genre fans. For something completely different, I'm still upset about CW apparently about to cancel Veronica. They really want to shoot themselves in the foot. They appeared to have been better off as WB and UPN; merged they cancel each other out in finding any creative voice. Now rather than broadening their audience, they'd rather limit it to teenybopper girls, an age group notorious for wanting trash over substance (One Tree Hill, ANTM). I guess they figure it's the easiest bet in making money anyway since they can't seem to compete with the Top 4. *sighs*

    I was thinking the same thing regarding Desmond possibly manipulating Charlie but I'm thinking maybe not because he did end up saving Charlie the previous time even though he was pretty sure Penny was coming if he died. Also, he was going to jump in the water himself until Charlie clocked him. My thinking is that they didn't want to show the vision of a chopper rescue if indeed he had that vision because the writers would want that type of scene to occur real time due to its drama, etc. Plus that would confirm a chopper was coming and now it's still a mystery. ok that's a ramble lol

    Cutting the Cable

    by abin sur

    Now we don't know if the Looking Glass is providing power to the island or vice versa, and since we have yet to see and power stations, I'm thinking there is an underwater generator down there that would have made simply cutting the cable ineffective. Funny that we stole a CBS TB for Lost and not the ABC one...

    stand alone episode series

    by napoleon park

    are all I'll begin watching now. Got fucked over with The Nine, Invasion, Studio 60. From now on the only soap operas I'm going to watch are Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Lost and Private Practice.
    I want my hour longs done in one.
    I'm lying, I would have watched Football Wives but they screwed up by not making it about a fictional sports league and the Niffle killed it. Or Kiele Sanchez has the new Rena sofer curse. Since I never watched forever Knight and Angel, Moonlighting II will seem fresh to me, except that since I never watched Forever Knight or Angel, I won't be watching Moonlighting II. Too bad about Russ's kid, but if God had wanted Amber Tamblyn to have a TV series, "Joan Of Arcadia" wouldn't have been canceled.

    that tomorrows 45 minute "Lost" reecap/clip show after the extra long Grey's Anatomy season finale will get a talkback? Yeah, me neither. But it would be a nice surprise.
    AICN was prominently featured in a recent Entertainment Weekly article about how movie studios have to deal with the internet buzz to publicize new movies. Oddly enough they side-barred some examples dating back to Keaton as Batman fan freakout before the Burton film, which sure pre-dated the internet experience of anyone I've ever met. Does anyone think that THIS story - geek fan media spoiler site posts non-article that causes fans to post spoilers, article and talkback removed due to (well, unconfirmed speculation that the network didn't like it), popular weekly talkback canceled at critical stage in series, comments deleted from other threads, etc. It's not a major story like Paris Hilton's new women in prison soft porn movie, but in a slow news week it could be an interesting story. Even a Cool News story. You'd think with all the interest that some web site devoted to reporting Cool News would actually want to cover that story and reveal what actually happened and who got fired because of it. No? Oh well, maybe we'll read about it in Entertainment Weekly in a week or two.

    The only show that remotely sounded intersting to me was Babylon Fields, and of course, the brain-dead execs leave it off the schedule. So no CBS for me next year. I don't plan on watching Moonlight, since it will probably be cancelled extremely quickly (and besides, I used to watch it in its previous lives as Forever Knight and Angel. Dammit, I miss Angel...) All I'm watching these days is Heroes, and based on the schedules announced lately I don't think that's gonna change.

    Over at the "TAPS remake" article

    by napoleon park

    the entire thread was hijacked by Losties and TheRealMoriarty (I'm still wondering who the false Moriarty was, not being a Sherlock Holmes expert) Posted several well reasoned and polite responses explaining that there will not be a Lost talkback this week but NIGHT be one for the season finale. Which of course would ne the last Lost talkback until February of 2008.
    Yes, February. Originally they said January, which was cool since then it would return in 1/08, ala the numbers. but a February launch allows the 16 episode arc to conclude during May sweeps, which is good for the network ad revenues, which allows them to honor their commitment to keep the show on for three years. After all...
    I wish I'd trademarked "Show is an adjective, business is the noun."
    RealMoriarty blames the situation on "a rabid percentage" of talkbackers. In other words, the AICN writers who went all "neener neener, we know something but we're not telling" and posted the non-spoilerific non-article that incited the "rabid" spoilers either won't or can't accept teir own culpability in the situation.
    For the record, "Cholly, bruthuh, yuir gunn ta daie" is not a spoiler, it's a catch phrase.

    First failure to cut the cable, and now the Satelite Phone.
    I can understand how Bens blocking the radio transmission from Mira Furlans group (Nice ass on her by the way).
    But how are they blocking the satelite phone?
    That is a hell of a frequency coverage for them. This isn't Star Trek here it's Lost with modern technology.
    I also thought the Sat phone battery was dead. And being a satelite phone why can't they just call anywhere in the world instead of only Naomi's ship?
    Was Hurley actively staring down Claires shirt? Been there done that.

    It seems like Desmond was lying about how Charlie dies -- saying he would drown after flipping the switch. Desmond's actual "vision" musta shown him trying to take Charlie's place and him being knocked out and rescuing Charlie from death after they get in the hatch. I bet Desmond knows he must trick Charlie into getting into the hatch and the rescue still comes after they are in there. I didn't read the full spoiler -- just the "game changer" for next week so I might be wrong. But it seems like Desmond may be either leaving out part of his flashes or lying about them again. I still believe that Desmond knew that Charlie was going to whack him with the oar though going into the thing.

    Desmond

    by kbaker13

    Desmond definately knows more than he is letting on. IF he really saw all that is going to happen he would have warned Charlie about the two hot babes who would attack him. Maybe he knew they were there and that was why he offered to go down(no pun intended) instead of Charlie. Or maybe it was a test to see if Charlie would rise as a hero. He tells him he is going to die, but he does it any way?

    Lost

    by fount of useless info

    Ok, I don't think even for a minute that the studio forced the Lost talkback to go away because of the spoilers. Take a look around the web, no one came after "DarkUFO" for having them on his site. It was taken down because people were way out of control. That's a shame, because I wanted to discuss them. I did post about them but tried to give warnings and some space before mentioning anything spoilerish. (Well, except when I forgot before asking about Charlie swimming...oh and BTW, perhaps that was bad drug addict Charlie just being a chicken) Some people can't just let everyone else be surprised. I know that people come for spoilers, but there is a difference between a spoiler that is a tease and a spoiler that tells you all the big details.
    Regarding last night's episode. I felt like it would have had more emotional impact if Charlie had died. Let the arc end on his episode with his greatest hits.To whoever mentioned Hurley looking down Claire's shirt, I thought it seemesd like he was doing that too.Regarding the Dharma shark: Yeah, I was almost epxecting to see it last night. The tattoo was done by Bai Ling. According to DL/CC, there will be an episode where we see that the shark (which they call Ezra James Sharkington) swam to thailand and forced Bai ling to give it a Dharma tattoo, but they might have been joking.Ok, I am done and will waste no more space in a non-Lost talkback talkng about Lost this week. I just hope there is enough control that we can have one next week, because the Heroes and Lost talkbacks are usually almost as fun as the episodes themselves.

    Has this been posted?

    by fount of useless info

    Bat-Manuel is going to be in Batman. Nestor Carbonell is going to play the mayor of Gotham in Dark Knight.
    I'm sure that's posted somewhere on this site, but I couldn't find it, and I thought I'd share with all of you.

    No more Lost comments

    by kbaker13

    Since the people on this site do not want us to use other TB in place of the Lost one I will not post anymore Lost stuff on this TB. However, I did see a very intereseting episode of Friends last night, hope some other people saw it to and can comment on it. It was the one where everyone went on vacation to this island. Than Ross took them all out into the jungle and explained that he had a plan to get rid of some others. Then back on the beach Chandler told Joey that he had to die to save Rachael, so Joey and Chandler got in a boat and followed some wire out into the ocean. Then Joey hit Chandler and dove into the water and swam into some underwater station. So my question is do you think Joey will die next week and if so how? I was really sad thinking that Joey might die. Anyone else think that Chandler has some other motives for telling Joey what he did since it seems he saw it wrong. I hope somehow Joey survives.

    Lame

    by wallywest74

    Don't wanna complain, but I was really disappointed with the lack of a Lost talkback and having to search for a response for AICN's reasons for not having one is lame. Listen, I don't blame anyone for highjaking another TB, AICN just abruptly disposed of the Lost TB, and, to be honest, people probably wouldn't of highjacked other talkbacks or posted spoilers as titles if AICN just handled the whole situation better and let the original post stay. This whole site is basically where people come to learn about spoilers. If they posted an early picture of Harvey Dent with ooze coming out of his face, wouldn't you look.

    Lucius Vorenus, the clever one...

    never got flogged, nice clean toga and the hour after "Heroes" on NBC in the fall with "Journeyman." Pullo never got a shot with the Zombie dramedy.

    Wha?

    by radio1_mike

    Lemme see here: CBS does-- 1) Cancels Jericho, 2) Puts up Kid Nation, 3) Puts up a 'romantic' Vampire Thriller with a twist? What's the fricken twist, the vamp belongs to NAMBLA or something? and, 4) Does not greenlight a zombie series. Christ CBS the only saving grace you have is How I Met Your Mother... You fucktards.

    Lost Cable issue

    by feedmeastraycat

    In regards to the cable not being cut or blown up etc, the reason it may not have been done is because Desmond insisted that the only way for rescue to come would be if his premonition was followed exactly. He said Charlie had to swim down there and flip the switch and drown in order for rescue to happen, not cutting the cable. It is the same as why Des almost let Charlie die earlier because if he did then Penny would be the parachuter and not the other chick. That would be the reasoning I believe.
