I’m getting the SWRPG from Amazon when it’s released. I’ll let you know what it’s all about. BTW, it’s only $26 pre-sale.

Boston Legal has become a caricature of a caricature of a caricature… not to say it isn’t fun to watch.

You clearly have never seen Denny Crane dominate the courtroom. Or Alan Shore for that matter. You should. You’d probably like them.

Fortunately, William Shatner has brought us Denny Crane. His legacy is secure.

I didn’t realize that his name was Denny Crane; I thought he was just The Priceline Negotiator. Personally, I would have preferred that they not give him a name at all and instead let him simply be an anonymous man in a suit who has the power to negotiate for better rates on hotel rooms and airfare. Either way, Slowhand is right; Shatner’s legacy is secure.

You can watch Lake Placid 2 and Fire Serpent, but you delete BSG? sigh…

Watching movies on “The Most Dangerous Night on Television” is like eating potato chips: you don’t really have to think about what you’re doing and the experience isn’t intrinsically subtle or complex.

Battlestar Galactica, on the other hand, is more like a multiple-course meal at a nice restaurant: you want to pay attention and savor all of the sensory input so that you make the most of the experience.

“Okay,” you might say, “so you’re telling me you prefer eating a bag of potato chips to going out to a nice restaurant?”

At times, yes. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, the last thing I want to do is shower, shave, put on a shirt and tie, find a sitter and go out to eat. And that’s what those ten episodes of BSG felt like to me: each of them was an investment of time, attention and emotion that I wasn’t willing to make.

I’m quite looking forward to your Game Night entry for Marvel Heroes. I’ve never seen that one. Got a link?

I went back and added a bunch of links to the original post, including a link to the Marvel Heroes page at Fantasy Flight’s web site. Exclusive to this comment, however, is a link to Marvel Heroes at Board Game Geek.

Yea, I think you are missing out on Lost. They are getting good again and I have been talking with Don about them. Supposedly there was so many complaints about the series that they decided to get on with the story and tell some. They have revealed about Locke and some more about the “Others”

I will find out more about the new Star Wars RPG soon. I will ping my friend that runs the RPGA stuff for WoTC and see what he knows or has heard.
