Technically it says he just produced, but I remember reading articles saying he was a lot more involved than just coughing up the money.

The Constant is one of the best episodes of LOST in my opinion. I love time travel stuff.

I mentioned The Constant because so many people loved that episode and I absolutely hated it. I didn't see what was so great about it. Perhaps it was because I didn't really care about either Desmond or that dorky Saving Private Ryan guy. Smile

I agree with Picard about Abrams though. I did enjoy Cloverfield though. I never watched Alias because I thought the premise looked stupid and I never saw MI: III. I like the new Trek movie, but I did have a few issues with it as well. I honestly think Abrams is more about making money and "leaving his mark" then staying true to source material. I think this next Trek will be good because of Cumebrbatch mostly but I honestly think he'll ruin Star Wars.

When I met him at the Trek premiere in Kuwait (along with most of the cast) he honestly seemed like he didn't want to be there. Like his grand premiere of Star Trek was being opened to a bunch of soldiers in Kuwait versus all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. All the actors were cool though, but JJ just seemed to have something lodged up his fourth point of contact.

That's how I was with DS9. It had been on for several years before I started watching it. I never went back to watch the earlier ones. I loved the Occupation that lasted for a season or two.

I heard the same thing about TMNT, I'm not surprised coming from Bay, what gets me is Eastman and Laird, the creators, have said they're cool with him fucking up their stuff.

As far as Abrams, I can't stand the prick. Cloverfield was shit, Lost was alright up until a certain point and then fell apart, Alias was a gimmick show, and the fake Star Trek movie was a soulless production, he'll probably ruin Star Wars too, but I can't see how it could be worse than Lucas doing it. The only decent thing of his I liked was MI:III. Other than that I don't get why he is such a big deal.

My family lost another aunt last night. There is just one aunt....from a family of 8....left. We were sitting around doing the remember when thing over coffee last night. We remembered that Ann taught us to sew...and knit...and crochete. She taught us all the "good" words in Italian. Smile She was part of the Power Sisters....what we call my 3 aunts together. They would swoop in and take charge of any situation. Clean..cook and arrange anything. After my dad died....they swooped into my kitchen and arranged....I couldn't find things for days afterwords. lol

Best of all...Ann was the calming affect on everyone....no matter what. I'll miss her....alot.

So sorry, Cobalt. That's one part of growing older I hate. Everyone keeps dying off! Sounds like she was quite a character and will be remembered fondly.

I changed my screen name on the site where I have some of my stories written so Toni can no longer "accidently" google my name and proceed to read everything I wrote.

They just added Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko of DS9) to the Comicpalooza guest list. He's strange but I still want to meet him.
