The Crazed Spruce

Oh, man, I've missed the Irish Drinking Song! And Newsflash! Glad to see them bringing back the classics. :)

While I personally would find it amusing if Doyle and Rosa hooked up exactly one (probably after a drunken Christmas party or something), and Doyle tooled around in a wheelchair for a month because she literally broke him, I'm fine with them never getting together as a couple.

Ross, as they're watching the sex tape he accidentally made with him and Rachel which recorded for posterity the moment he knocked her up. "When were you under me?"

Q is for Quick, like his wit.

Y'know, in the Canadian version of that commercial, they edit out the "you suck at laundry" part. Just sayin'.

One of my favourite parts of the show last season was Alison's descent into pure batshit insanity. Can't wait to see where they take it this season. :)

Consider me cautiously optimistic. When the show worked, it was awesome. And when it didn't work, well, we had a dude turn into a spider and we followed a travelling carnival lead by a guy with an evil scheme almost as nebulous as his accent. (Oh, Robert Kneppler. We had such high hopes....) As horrible as 90% of the 4th season was, though, I still liked the show by and large. Hell, the symbol from the show is still the background on my laptop. And, God help me, I'm actually looking forward to Heroes Reborn.

Some (hell, most) of my best online friends came from the old Heroes Meet Market forum. Don't know how much of that old magic we can recapture, but I'm willing to give it a shot. BTW, I'm a hotel night auditor in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, up in Canada. (And the wallpaper on my laptop is the S-symbol from the show, in front of an eclipse, with a black background. :) )

I try to watch it, too, but I work nights, so I can't watch it live, and I've been having issues with my DVD recorder, so I haven't been able to see a full episode since the first one. When they get around to airing a marathon, though, I'm totally there.

I just heard about this show from looking through this site's forums. Looks interesting, and I'll probably catch it when it airs.

Is it just me, or has Tide actually started shying away from the old tropes about men being idiots and only women can clean? Seems like every guy in a Tide commercial these days is perfectly capable of doing the laundry themselves. I mean, who knew?

My favourite Winchester moment was his epic takedown of Colonel Flagg. :)

You could always delete the quote tags. :)

Still one of my favourites. Apparently, you can really taste the garlic. :)

Don't remember exactly what episode it's from, but one of my favourite Johnny lines (I even used it as my signature in a forum I used to frequent) was: "When the whole world's out to get you, paranoia's just smart thinking."

"There! Are! FOUR! Lights!" "I'd be delighted to offer any advice I have on understanding women. When I have some, I'll let you know." "Growl for me! Let me know you care!"

I agree, RedZone, that was a great moment, and one of the best burns in TV history. But five minutes of wit doesn't make up for four years of flat characterization and a cartoonish personality. Give me Charles Winchester any day.

I've always preferred Charles to Major Burns. Frank was basically a one-note cartoon character, while Charles was much more well-rounded, and made a much better foil.

"The plastic tips on the ends of shoelaces are called aglets! Their purpose is sinister!" "Please. I go through <i>everyone's</i> trash!" "Aha! Thirty-<i>eight</i> flavours!" Really, anything The Question evey said, for <i>that</i> matter....

Greg, Brad, and Chip are definitely three of the best fourth chairs, but I've always liked Kathy Greenwood.

Pikitus!
