Default January 15 (T10 #96-99)

Okay, let's do this thing! My original plan was to whip this up for January 1, but as you'll see, it expanded a bit -- mostly because I wanted to give a couple of my favourite new sf shows their first appearance at 5M.net. Here are four, count 'em six (wait, what?), new Top 10 lists:


And finally -- no joke here --

Enjoy!

5MV no longer exists! 5M.net does! Look, I love "5MV" as much as anyone else, but the apron strings have to be cut and--

Picard: The line must be drawn HERE!

Anyway, good stuff.

Thanks for the warm reception, guys. (Low turnout, but I could hardly expect otherwise.)

I thought about that, but the fact that "better" is a real word makes it confusing. (It would also make the choice easy.)

Of course, you have your own particular bias in this case....

I generally overstate his case, but I'm pretty against him. Not only is he painfully boring and uninteresting, but he drags down Claire in every scene she has with him. In season 1, I thought Claire was such a great character that she could be paired with anyone and be interesting (anyone in Bennet family, Zach, Peter, Nathan, Ma Petrelli, Haitian,...), but West disproved that.

No flights, no tights, I say. ... Except Nathan. ... And just on the former.

...Is it a coincidence that before I read this thread I'd put And the Glory from Messiah on?

No, seriously.

Good stuff, Zeke. 'Specially liked the Janeway one.

Liked the disclaimers, too.

Great top-ten lists, Zeke! Very funny.

I especially liked (WARNING: Spoilers for those who haven't seen season two of Heroes):

Quote:
Reed: Stop hanging out with Irish gangs
And:
Quote:
Nathan: Spin this assassination attempt into great PR via comparisons to Reagan... oh, and survive it
This one took me a while to understand:
Quote:
Monica: Whatever your resolution is
But I thought it was really funny once I got it.

Anyway, thanks for the update, Zeke! I hope's there's more to come (especially more Heroes content).
