    That series wore out its welcome a long, long time ago. Good to see that it didn't fall the way of Inuyasha.

    Maybe that'll give pc software developers more incentive to work

    Nothing says 'fuck the world' more than having entitled people steal a product you spent several years working on

    :shock:

    But then you think about digital file sharing vs physical sharing...

    You know...the days of one person in your family having ALL the cool games, and borrowing from them

    Technically you weren't paying for that either yanno

    Then came the days of DRM, authorized systems and online access codes..and well that was that

    I don't know where I side. On the one end, I buy all my games. Game prices become reasonable if you wait long enough. There are always open source alternative. For every Microsoft office there is a libre writer. Sad day to see it go down though.

    Like a drug dealer on the corner. Someone will replace it.lol

    Just read about that. They have been trying to shut them down since 04 or so. This isn't the end for em yet. Seems most people I know prefer kickass anyway.

    Interestingly enough, someone posted a link to a replacement

    This is truly the world's greatest game of whack a mole

    I also seen an article about 3-D printing and piracy

    Yanno...people downloading the blueprints for any given item on a site like Piratebay, then reproducing them at home

    This shit is just the beginning....

    Here's to waiting for at-home cloth printers so I can make my own knockoff Gucci

    I watched that in awe too

    I thought Hollywood moved past that...guess not

    Sad really considering the lack of color already present in these shows

    On another note.....the flash mid season finale was predictable for anyone with a gotdamn pulse.....but freakin awesome nonetheless

    At least they didn't kill off both black dudes since they were hinting throughout the episode that Mac was more than likely effectively dead.


    I do however like how they are laying the groundwork for introducing the Inhumans to set the stage for the eventual movie coming down the line.

    And at least they let Tripp hang around for good little stint to become likeable, rather than give him that Lucy Lawless treatment....:p

    I thought the black guy who got knocked off was going to have something with Simmons

    You seen the way she looks at him...come on now America she's practically begging for it

    Killing off a likeable character is worse in my opinion.


    The part that pisses me off about it, is that Tripp was established since the end of last season, and yet they bring in another White guy at the beginning of this season and make him a regular right away.

    Killing off a likable character is nothing new never mind if you kill off only the unlikable characters it comes off as too cartoonish even for a comic book based series.


    I don't know why anyone was surprise that Tripp was killed off considering that B.J. Britt has been on guest star status since he joined the show last season, plus he's going to be a regular on some BET show with Gabriel Union. Same thing goes for the Mac & the Bobbi "Mockingbird" Morse characters. The actors are billed as guest stars, so then could wind up dead at anytime as well if they don't decide to make them series regulars.

    Exit B.J. Britt Enter Blair Underwood

    [​IMG]



    From The Hollywood Reporter.com



    Two-time Golden Globe nominee Blair Underwood has boarded Marvel's second-year drama, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

    Underwood, whose TV credits include NBC's sci-fi drama The Event and its remake of Ironside, will have a recurring role and play Agent May's (Ming-Na Wen) estranged ex-husband Dr. Andrew Garner. The actor will make his debut in a March episode and begins filming the role this week.

    The Agents of SHIELD arc will be the L.A. Law alum's first visit to the Marvel universe. His more recent credits include earning a Critics Choice nom for Lifetime's TV movie A Trip to Bountiful. He reprised that role opposite Cicely Tyson and Vanessa Williams for the past few months onstage in in Los Angeles and Boston after spending the summer starring in the Old Globe's production of Othello. On Broadway, his credits include the starring role as Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire in 2012.

    The casting also brings Underwood back into the ABC fold where he starred on Dirty Sexy Money. His credits also include CBS' The New Adventures of Old Christine and HBO's In Treatment. He's repped by ICM Partners and Thruline.


    Underwood joins a roster of high-profile guest-stars on Agents of SHIELD this season, including Lucy Lawless and Adrianne Palicki, among others.
