  1. I still don't really care for Ammo, but there's a limit to what I could wish on anybody. He tells his story, which explains why he collapsed at the end of the episode. Being blindfolded and wrestled could not have been good for him. Why wasn't Dario picked? He hadn't proved himself in the Presidio. Not really changing my opinion on most of these people. I think Redemption House was a bad idea, and we lost a big gun in Darrell . . . and that sucks because he only lost the one time on a kamikaze maneuver from friggin' Tony. I'm disappointed in Jordan after the incident . . . and it's painful to see a fan on Facebook put out a picture of her son, who has Down Syndrome . . . but I still feel that a lot of Challengers were ready to dogpile on him. He's a meathead, he's probably an asshole, but I don't think he's in Racist Jenna territory.
  2. I'm not saying Veronica is wrong, but I take what she says with several grains of salt. I know she hasn't done a Challenge in ages (CvP doesn't really count), but why should I trust her when I couldn't in the past?
  3. Just found out today that Animal Planet will be running two new episodes tonight starting at 7. Given the descriptions, they might be repackaged stuff . . . but then we would have Thor the Pitbull and Pipsqueak the Psycho Goat Kid, and that wouldn't be so bad. 7 PM: Domestic Shorthair Kittens, Pit Bull Puppies, Havanese Puppies 8 PM: Coton de Tulear Puppies, Cairn Terrier Puppies, Cow Cat Kittens
  4. Here's my account of the con. I felt that LCAC improved from last year. I'm aiming to hit Anime NYC in November. ETA: Here are the pictures that I took that weekend.
  5. I got Lisa Lisa on Sunday. The artist likes drawing her, and she threw in the Red Stone of Aja. And thanks to going online, I know that it is not called "Red Stone of Asia" like I misheard. Live and learn, right? Anybody out there have fave characters after four episodes of "Stardust Crusaders"? I also like the Stands so far, though it looks like Joseph's Purple Hermit doesn't manifest like the others.
  6. "Dear Tori: Always nice to see a fan of mine who goes beyond Austin & Garth! Yours, Mike Myers." I feel a little better about my initial opinion. Jordan crossed a line, but not like he shot as his foot with a nuclear weapon (re: Jeff Varner in the latest season of Survivor). Let the person who has not said something repugnant cast the first insult.
  7. I got my Kurapika sketch last Friday. Not sure who else I'd like to get. Killua would be the logical choice.
  8. Is there any way to sympathize with Jordan without looking like a dick? I mean, he crossed a line with Jemmye, but that's about a 7 out of 10 with this show. He's trying to keep up, he's attempting to clear the insult bar, he's probably drunk, and the others are punishing him for that? I am not making excuses for the meathead, but we've heard far worse on BMP shows. Damn, the guy put on a performance against Ammo. And Ammo was not a slouch, either. As for the cliffhanger? I don't think he was being dramatic, but BMP needs reasons to ramp up the drama. Mission was a bit of a clusterfuck. Totally knew CT and Cara Maria were safe because they have rapport. The second heat was sad to watch. Not really caring about Marie or Tori, to be honest. And all of this week's bullshit will be forgotten if the teaser about Aneesa and Veronica is true. Aneesa, you already had a sucky time with a Veronica. Why double down? And if that does happen, would the Verantula invite the cameras to film it?
  9. I don't know if this officially qualifies . . . I read on Facebook that Johnny said that RW is officially dead. I'm a bit skeptical, but I watch out for official word. Then again, did Road Rules have a figurative burial either time MTV pulled the plug?

    Meh . . . I think "99," I think "Gretzky." I reckon any judge or jury-related song would do. I still think the entrance music from The People's Court would work.
  11. I think the Towers' "bro-ing" is mostly tongue in cheek. While I'm thinking about it . . . is it me, or have a lot of top and second-tier ninjas fallen short of Vegas? At least Lance Pekus is back on the horse . . . after his failure last season and two uninspiring TNW stints, I thought he was done. Apparently, he's building on his Spartan experience.
  12. Dude, I gave up on those two ages ago. I don't care that Tim's upped his game. I ain't watching any version of Decker, and the commercials suggesting intentional mediocrity don't compel me in the least. Any word on how AS will be shaken up on Sundays? I'm thinking either new episodes of Robot Chicken and/or Squidbillies, and/or the arrival of Hot Streets. Also, I hope we get more Apollo Gauntlet. The head-turns are fun to see animated.
  13. I have to admit, I kept thinking that the Messiah was going to veer a little away from the canon, especially since he wasn't a kid. But then Starr said his name, he pissed on Jesse, and all was right with the world. Well, at least in this world. I'm still thinking that if the guy running the show pops up, he won't look like he did in the comics. I know, watching Tulip cope with shell shock and Jesse's lies gets a little monotonous, as does Denis careening into a messy end. But we get stuff like the last night of Jesus's life, the modern-sounding guys with him, insane shadowplay that's bound to piss people off, and the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury speculating on God's whereabouts. This isn't the best show, and I think American Gods had more fun with Jesus, but it's still fun.
  14. Gotta love a half-hour delay. I watch "live" and managed to catch the episode afterward, but it was still annoying. The Broken Pipe had to be greased, right? I mean, a lot of the regional finalists got past that in the qualifier. Cut to tonight: so many causalities, and the Towers of Power were reduced to rubble. Broken Pipe would have ended Jessie Graff, it was that sinister an obstacle. Forgot about Maggi's eyelashes. I wonder if they can grip stuff so she can rest her arms at key points. The second-year Japanese-American guy . . . what does the kanji on his shirt say? I couldn't make that out from Matt. I immediately thought of Goku from Dragon Ball Z, but I'm certain the kanji is different.
  15. Martin Shkreli!! Shit! Prospective jurors weighing in on him, coupled with courthouse art. "He disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan." "WU-TANG CLAN AIN'T NOTHIN' TO FUCK WITH!!!" How did I forget that?

    In brief: Met lose again, and somebody forgot not to pitch directly to Giancarlo Staton. Meanwhile, Bartolo Colon has beaten every Major League team. Downside: red is not his color.
  17. Damn. Anybody else figure the family needs Jerry as a target of abuse and scorn? Take him out of the equation, and Beth follows in her father's footsteps. His arrogant, oft-drunk footsteps. Never thought of "Jerry as predator." Kinda hoping he'll grow and develop a backbone, but that's probably not going to happen. Man, this episode hit all the notes. Beth freeing tech support, Rick and Jerry not dying, Beth going for the ending of Honey I Blew Up The Kid, Morty slowly ripping into Summer's ex while making a S'more . . . great stuff. Heh . . . Jerry has a Titanic poster over his bed. Continuity!
  18. Heads up: episode is scheduled for 11:15-11:46 p.m. tonight. So have fun with the extra fifteen minutes. ETA: Fired up crowd for Bannon's dismissal, anchors telling us not to look into the sun tomorrow, and the dangers of nuclear waste. I forgot what the last bit was about, and I'm going to feel like an idiot when I rediscover it. Also: John's disdain of the Toxic Avenger, toxic alligators, and the horrors that are American Dolls. Nothing like a Brit screaming "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!" Almost makes up for the show taking a vacation. With John and Sam Bee gone until September, it looks like the heavy lifting goes to Trevor Noah.
  19. "IT'S A RICK AND JERRY ADVENTURE! RICK AND JERRY EPISODE!!!!!!"
  20. Oooooooohhh . . . so instead of flying to Egypt and endangering more lives, Team Jojo will be taking the long route to Egypt. And that's why The Bangles are used in the end credits. So . . . out heroes take on Tower Grey, a stag beetle-like Stand that rips the tongues out of airplane passengers too sleepy to notice a bunch of buff dudes going apeshit with invisible powers. Joseph winds up surviving his third plane crash, which might be a record for a "civilian." Also, Jotaro disses two comely stewardesses, both of whom need a quick trip to the lavatory to swap out unmentionables. And that's after he calls them "bitches." Seriously, if this anime got protested, I wouldn't be that surprised. At least they had the same reaction to Kakyoin, who wasn't a total dick. While I'm at it . . . the Stand user was an old fuck who caused massacres. In a cute twist, he looks to be innocent, as seen in this GIF, where he "realizes" that he just put his hand in fresh blood. Anyway, the boys land in Hong Kong, plan a route, have lunch, meet a stranger . . . and that bastard whips out Iron Chariot on them. To Be Continued, way-oh-way-oh. Oh, and I think Dio is seducing women at minimum. And he's basically Jonathan from the neck down. Ick. So not gentlemanly. If Jojo I had a grave, he'd be rolling in it.
  21. 1. They're not like that. I know, it's tough to understand those two if you didn't see their story hasn't play out on DBZ. Crap, DBZK just got into the concept of Fusion. In my head, Buu isn't awestruck by Satan's fame, but he doesn't know he's 99.99 percent hype. Satan likes the blobby guy, and it's not out of fear that he might rampage like he did at the end of DBZ. 2. "Hyperbolic Time Chamber." I goofed on the name. And it's basically one day = one year. ETA: I like the idea that Vegeta might be the narrator, complete with different voice. And Goku argues with the narrator, because Goku.
  22. More setting up for the big tournament. Whis and Beerus snipe at each other. Goku and Vegeta make their choices: Buu and Piccolo. Yes, the big sack of pink goo was that big of a major threat in the final DBZ arc. Goku briefly considers calling in Gohan, but not only is the kid still rusty, he's also become an academic neurotic. Poor guy. I would've let the vetting take longer. I mean, is Krillin that big a slab of chopped liver? And Eighteen did break both of Vegeta's arms, while he was Super Saiyan. Oh, and Goku talks Vegeta into going into the Hyperbaric Time Chamber for three days. Here's what I see happening: Dende: No. Nuh uh. No way. Goku: Aw, c'mon!!! You're the boss on the Lookout! Open that sucker up! Dende: To review: you two will spend three years training. Is that right? Goku: FUCK YEAH! I mean, if I can't spar with Beerus's mystery warrior . . . Dende: Vegeta, this was not your idea, was it? Vegeta: Did you have to ask?!? Dende: See, if I let you two in for even half a day, I fear two things. One: the fighting and leveling up would escalate to a point where the universe would be ripped asunder. And I don't just mean the world inside the chamber. I mean the whole damn universe. Goku: Would that affect the other universes? Dende: Okay, now I have to deal with the idea that this isn't the only reality. Kami never had to put up with this shit. Vegeta: What is the other concern? Dende: That one of you would kill the other, either by accident or through murder. Knowing you, it would be the latter. And you'd make it look like an accident. Vegeta: Well, I do make terrible decisions . . . Goku: I know! We'll take the Dragon Balls in there! If one of us dies, the other can wish him back! Shenron: (appearing without fanfare) No, that ain't happening. (poofs out) Vegeta: About time he grew some balls.

    Nothing like getting up early, getting ready to go out, putting on ESPN, and reading a scroll about the Mets sending Curtis Granderson to the Dodgers. Good for him, since he's a class act. What will the Mets get? A player to be named later. Or cash. Of course. Unless Chase Utley is sent over for the express purpose of torture, I don't think the fans will win in any way.
