  1. 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.

  2. 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. :) )

  3. Ok, be honest, I can take it...I *am* the only one watching Barry's show, right?

    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.
  4. 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."

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. If any show deserved a drinking game, it's this one.

    DISCLAIMER: For novelty purposes only. Neither the OP nor the staff or management of previously.tv bear any responsibility for any drunken shenanigans or worn-out elbows resulting from participation in this form of entertainment. Not recommended for show marathons. Any alcohol poisoning resulting from this game is the sole responsibility of the participant.

    That bein' said, take a drink whenever...

    *An employee is drunk during the recon.

    **Two drinks if it's an owner or manager.

    *An employee hits on the person doing John Taffer's recon.

    **Two drinks if it's an owner or manager.

    ***Three drinks if it's Taffer's wife or daughter being hit on.

    *The food during the recon is described as either "disgusting" or "inedible".

    **Two drinks if it's Taffer's food expert doing the describing.

    *A bartender overpours.

    *An owner won't let a manager do his or her job

    *An owner has absolutely no experience running a business.

    *A manager has no clue how to manage a bar.

    *Critters and vermin are found behind the bar.

    **Two drinks if the critter is larger than a squirrel.

    *An owner yells at a customer.

    *An owner yells at an employee in front of a customer.

    *An employee takes advantage of an owner's kindness or generosity.

    *An employee is fired.

    *An employee deservers to be fired, but isn't.

    *An owner acts like a total douchebag. (Only one drink per episode, no matter how douchey.)

    *A premium alcohol is name-checked.

    **Two drinks if it happens outside the training scene.

    *Taffer changer the bar's name.

    **Two drinks if the new name is worse than the old one.

    ***Three drinks if the owner changes the name back five minutes after the cameras leave.

    *Pour out one drink for every one screwed up during staff training. (Keep a bucket handy. Or at least two mops.)

    *Drink a full glass of water for every time that ad where Taffer tells you to drink water airs.

    Feel free to add your own. Play safe, everyone.
