    Too true.

    Though he cant hear their complaints over the sound of the cash register sounds banking his millions of dollars.

    Jealous of his success is all it is.

    Has anyone tried calling the massive dynamic phone number? Or emailing their 'Tech Support' line?

    edit: Hell any of their numerous email addresses for that matter.

    Bah, I tried submitting an application to become a 'Massive Dynamic Team Member' however the link doesn't open a new page or anything.

    Neither does their 'register a product' feature.

    Or the live tech support chat tool.

    looks like the site is still being worked on or they don't plan on using it for anything but dropping hints at future episodes.

    As a pilot it did its job of making me want to watch more - but nothing crazy memorable which is kinda to be expected although disappointing.

    I dunno. Just stood out as bad to me.

    But I mean, it is inconsequential, which I guess is the point. its a title, its over in 10 seconds.

    I have to agree with you, as far as it being bad.

    I like the idea, the font though, makes it look terrible.

    You know what I want? I think it would be cool if all the writers for the different crime shows, Bones, Numb3rs, Law & Order SVU, CSI, and Criminal Minds got together and made up one case -- one crime with one suspect, and each of the different shows solves it in their own way. That would be ridiculously cool.

    Better yet, have the writers swap jobs for different shows. So you have like CSI Miami scriptwriters doing the first 2 minutes shades on moments for Criminal intent or something.

    They kinda tried this already. Of course it was the CSI writers doing Two and a Half Men and vice versa.

    I'm watching the first X-Files movie, and they just did a cut to Foum Tataouine.

    The smoking man visits Tatooine. Seriously.

    I almost had a chance to visit there on a trip, but by the time I even knew what country the trip was in, much less that they were going to stop by some of the ANH sets, I had already obligated myself to something else. If I'd have known that it was also an X-Files location, I might have considered rearranging things.

    I'm a terrible person.

    John Noble is the walking around yelling, "I'M CRAZY" with every line
    The main character is tedious
    Her romance with leathery guy was horribly written
    And the only function of her boss seems to be unlikeable

    fucking awful awful awful

    just terrible dialogue and a plot that nowhere near redeemed it

    How do you know he can help us

    how do you know he can't
