But I don't think it's been explained what happened between each reincarnation. When Melinda, Edred and Sed were reincarnated into the Vikings/Norse people, what happened after the entity was defeated at the time? Did the souls immediately go back into Copernicus and the hosts were then free to pick up their lives (with or without their memories of the event), or did they die? Or did the new occupants occupy the bodies until their [natural] deaths?

I'm no legal eagle, but I think that's grounds for disbarment isn't it?

I have to admit that was a highlight! I would like to know how they came to know so much about the team. It's easy to forget certain details over the centuries, and how they knew so much about the Northern Elves' kingdom et al. They even had a Copernicus of sorts! Maybe they SHOULD have been the receivers of the Unicorn souls - because even Merlin was shocked when he saw how young the current team was and asked Copernicus "What is the meaning of this?" in an angry tone.

I'm not sure what to make of that. I thought the evil was mom Morgan, but she claimed she was being held and made to be the entity's heart. So she is an unwilling prisoner according to the scene we saw. I agree. Not to mention how one minute he's a mindless beast in that form then he's talking (although that may be because they're in the cosmos). She probably thought it was the only way to continue fighting. Where else was Melinda's soul going to go other than back into Copernicus. I question how the group was able to go Captain Planet and merge together into an entity of their own to fight. They never thought of this before in all the centuries they've been together? I'm not certain how this is supposed to pick up if they get a second season.

I remember an interview back in the day in which Storm explained his nickname originated because he was born on a stormy Thanksgiving night. The name stuck. Being amazingly cute didn't hurt either (yes, big crush talking here!).

AWWW! I grew up watching Frank and later his son Storm Field doing the weather at WNBC and WABC respectively. RIP Mr. Fields, and my condolences to Storm.

I quoted it as it appeared. Entertainment Lawyer said it could be a former [male] winner or finalist. Kind of like they say an actor was an Oscar winner/nominee.

Just caught another vintage sad moment from of all shows, "Leave it to Beaver": In, "Beaver's Houseguest" (1960), Beaver meets a new friend at summer camp nicknamed "Chopper". They get along so well, Beaver asks his parents if Chopper could spend the weekend at their house. Ward and June agree and Chopper arrives. Essentially he's a nice kid, but a bit more worldly wise than Beaver - because his parents are divorced. When he arrives, he brings two nice gifts for the Cleavers, expensive cologne from London for Ward and a fancy box of chocolates for June. Beaver gets a brand new baseball mitt (Chopper's dad owns a sporting goods company) and they go on to have some fun. Later Chopper asks Beaver about his family - like if Wally was his real brother or not (his parents have married more than once and he has step siblings and half siblings). He also mentions how everyone throws nice gifts his way (the audience knows it's to buy his affection) and he claims to like the way things are (or at least par for the course). In fact, the man that brought him to the Cleaver house was his mother's current boyfriend! Beaver starts to wonder if Chopper has it good considering all the stuff he gets and the expanded family members and asks his parents separately if they like each other and would they ever consider divorcing. Obviously, they tell him no. June worries Chopper might be a bad influence on Beaver but Ward says Beaver is just curious about how things work. The next morning, Choppers mother calls and asks her son to come home early. He tells the Cleavers it's because she has a case of "the weepies" (crying and looking to her son to be her support). The Cleavers agree and Chopper goes back, but is mindful to thank his hosts. Beaver ends up having a talk with his parents about this and agrees that he definitely has the better family deal.

Got a few from June for some summer speculation: A Warren Beatty blind: Yikes! Is nothing sacred? How many disgraces music producers are there? Seems like there's always a new one. The only one I can think of is dead now. Where to begin? That covers a lot of ground. All we can narrow it down to is it's a guy who's married. Hope it's not Daughtry, I always though he was a likeable guy. I find this particularly sad. Bad enough she's a druggie, but to be passed around like a toy is so degrading! There are the women that come to mind: Sarah Jessica Parker Sarah Michelle Gellar (Is she still A list since Buffy ended??) Jennifer Love Hewitt (is she A list though?) Jamie Lee Curtis Jada Pinkett Smith (maybe due to the dust up at last year's Oscars and rumors their marriage is a sham anyway) Hmmm.... Not sure of the organization, but it's obvious it was Haiti and Dominican Republic which were the original targets of trafficking. Seems now they're using Ukraine for their next supply source, although that should not be a surprise considering money laundering and trafficking are not uncommon there already.

A gossip site more than hints that Madonna's "illness" isn't what it's been posited to be. From Entertainment Lawyer:

If Jodie deserved a spinoff, it should have been over 20 years ago. They missed the boat. Given the choice, I'd rather see Daria. However, I have such happy memories of the original show, I'd be worried the current Hollywood types would ruin it.

Not to mention men trying to take credit for a woman's work! I rolled my eyes at that line - again!

True. Although considering the demise of K-Mart and similar economic issues in recent years, I can see how even more changes could be around for the town.

On my way out of the office, I stopped to chat with one of the reporters who was at the parade doing live coverage that night. It seems one trashy woman tried to pick a fight with her! To put this in perspective, this reporter is about 5'2, petite, thin and looks like she'd blow over in a stiff wind (and she may very well admit it!). She's doing her live coverage from her particular vantage point (we had several reporters covering different areas of the parade route - treating it like NYE) and chatting it up with fans, etc. . This one woman was determined to be in the next live shot and even told the reporter she was was (even leaning in on her before the next live shot!) , She and the photog politely told her it wasn't a good idea and she needed to stay out of frame if possible. This woman then openly declared she was going to beat her up! The photog spotted some Metro officers (who were out in force treating it like NYE) and motioned for them to come by. Eventually the woman and her boyfriend (who just stood aside during all this) were escorted out. Another reporter who was on a balcony during his coverage said he spotted two guys having it out fist to fist as well. Metro also gave them the one armed escort from the event. Don't know if they were arrested or not, but at least there didn't seem to be any major issues that night.

Works for me! So sorry to hear of her death - she was still rather young! I remember seeing her books on stands everywhere! From the library to the airport bookshop.

I thought that was the mind blown button, but point taken.

It's been nothing less than insanity at my place of employment!! All last week leading up to the Stanley Cup finals was nuts enough; with every win, there were "cold opens" to edit each morning for almost each hour! A hat trick - copyright free music - fans in their VGK gear shouting "Go Knights Go!!" - more copyright free music - more plays on the ice - more copyright free music, ad nauseum. There were watch parties to cover, people waving VGK flags like war symbols! Towels given out for the crowds! A co-worker who was moonlighting as an "honor guard " (they sweep up hats and stuff on the ice between quarters). Had to do interviews with her! Got to meet the Keeper of the Cup and the cup itself was in our studio! Then, we WON! It was nonstop! More cold opens (with copyright free music) and now chants of "We Are The Champions". Parade is planned!! Friday: My edit partner was off but one of the photogs was set to fill in. Fridays are very busy without the Stanley Cup news, but I knew we could handle it. Until I learn there was breaking news (hostage situation and barricade) and other things which had the producers send him out to cover - I was essentially editing the show alone! To say I was frazzled by the end of the shift would be an understatement! I hope management doesn't find out - or they'll think all they need is one editor to do all the editing for the mornings! Then I get a text that afternoon from my supervisor asking if I'd be willing to do some OT. I've posted previously that OT is uncommon in recent years so I was happy to take it. I went in Saturday at 5pm to help edit the parade stuff. The bosses ordered two huge square pizzas for everyone - Bitcheroo was there while I was getting a slice - I think she was hoping I'd lose it and throw it at her but pizza should never be defiled like that! At least I didn't have to deal with her beyond that. Three editors on that shift (to cover all ends of what would be a hectic celebratory day) and I was ready!! What happened at the parade? Well, 50 Cent (yup - that guy) has a new champagne label and of course VGK is advertising a partnership of some sort so the guys celebrated early with it! The team was dripping wet and taking off their shirts and drunk as skunks while fans (including kids) were watching in amazement. When they entered, one slid down the steps on the stage, and everyone acted like a bunch of drunken frat rats! OK I get it - not every day one wins the Stanley Cup and it was their night to celebrate but this was embarrassing! Lots of cussing during their "victory speeches" as well (did I mention kids were present?). Our station had to go out on a 20 second delay in case something went out that was improper for air. We finally got the all clear to leave at 11PM and by the time I got home, I passed out. Came in this morning and told edit partner everything he missed. He nearly died laughing - especially when I showed him the video of the team being drunk and trying to give their speeches. He almost wished he could have been there! Today? Peaceful and calm by comparison! Just leftover stories like warmed over pizza (some of which was still where they were left Saturday night!). Most included replicas of the cup in one form or another (one carved of ice at the Minus 5 Ice Bar, a gourmet chocolate version so exact it had the names on it). I'm so ready for a break!

My butt is was deliberate! They screwed up and can't admit what they did so they act like a housecat that slides into the wall and walks away with the, "I meant to do that!" look. These people do NOT know how to save face credibly.

I'm surprised they've been together this long! Been hearing rumors of issues between them for years.

In Radar's case I think it was more of a situation of his mom dating men - period. His father was dead for several years and she and his uncle (presumably her brother) ran their Iowa farm. Then out of the blue, while he's in Korea, she's seeing a man for the first time in a long time. That is stressful regardless of age. Plus most women at 50 circa the early 1950s were often grandparents and often not dating if single. I thought it was inspired when she was cast as Aunt May in the recent Spiderman films! Nice to think May didn't have to look old and frail!

I am starting to tune out of this show. I know Genndy goes for the buildup (and who knows how many more seasons this show might get) but I'm getting a bit annoyed. We finally meet up with Werewolf Winston - who apparently is a mindless beast in his wolf form - until he isn't. Then they seem to make it seem like he can control himself somewhat judging by the way he reacted when he heard Melinda/Emma scream. Merlin - is he possessed by the Big Bad? Or perhaps The Big Bad in disguise? Does this mean the Otto inventor and the Tiger man are all dead? If so, who and why? Foxy Lady? Melinda's mother? I did appreciate Edred protecting Melinda's/Emma's sense of modesty when a naked Winston was given a metal loincloth (which looked weird and I hope he finds something better). I also liked that Edred was chided for leaving Winston in the ocean. I'm surprised that the rest of the team was unaware of this. Did Edred tell them he just dropped him off somewhere?

I used to wonder about this too, since he couldn't have been any different before we see him in the pilot. I do remember Phoebe mentioning that Prue was in her "perfect hell". This made me think she went along with Roger for security and practicality. They actually broke up just before that so she obviously came to her senses by the time of the pilot. Of course when he stole the collection from her and screwed her out of her curating job, that was the last straw.

It had a lot against it; the writers strike, Zaslav's cuts, basement ratings and Superman and Lois is more popular. It was inevitable.

Perhaps without the soul, the body physically dies, so they had to preserve it should Edred fulfill his obligations. That would have been a good reveal, but we saw someone we never heard about before, will likely never see again.

I missed the first few minutes of this episode, but it gave a bit more backstory. Had they traveled back in time to find Edred's people and Merlin? I was intrigued that Edred was apparently [engaged] to the Eastern Elves' princess, but broke it off when he fell for Melinda. Considering how bitter the king was, it makes me think she either committed suicide or died of a broken heart. Nice to see Copernicus as himself again! It would seem that Merlin is the reason for how he is. Why the heck does Merlin blame Melinda - a small child at the time of the incident with her mother - for the situation they find themselves in now?? If anyone COULD have done anything, HE could have since he was the adult and an experienced sorcerer.
