Y The Last Man Vol. 5In this final Deluxe Edition hardcover collecting Y #49-60, Yorick and Agent 355 prepare for their ultimate quest to reunite the last man with his lost love, while the person, people or thing behind the disaster that wiped out half of humanity is revealed. Then, Yorick Brown's long journey through an Earth populated only by women comes to its dramatic, unexpected conclusion.
I agree that the second to last episode of Dollhouse was better than the finale, but I’m glad there was another episode and the second to last wasn’t a cliffhanger because that would’ve sucked had there been a cliffhanger and no season 2, which looks so, since the ratings for the finale were terrible.
I bought every media for Dr. Horrible (iTunes, then soundtrack and DVD).
So Sarah Conner is dead? Damn, I loved that finale.
Anyone see a Japanese movie called “The Machine Girl”? Now that movie is fucked up.
I like Bradley Cooper as Green Lantern, but I’m not too familiar with the character (not like Brad, :) ).

(I Google’d, don’t think I knew that offhand)
The finale of dollhouse was weak because they tried to do too much imo. And in the end they had to cut stuff out like doll bounty hunters against alpha and all that. I still enjoyed though not sure if i liked what happened with Helo. Also they haven’t aired an episode that will appear on the DVD set i think. Hopes for season 2!
Yep, and the DVD (Bluray for me :) ) will include the unaired pilot too.
Dollhouse got renewed for season 2! Woot.
Btw some tihngs in the podcast. The command words wouldn’t have worked with Alpha because he didnt have a handler anymore. Only affects them when the words are from their handlers.
And the whole torture at the start wasn’t meant to happen. Topher said about the imprints? or something making alpha paranoid and took the client when seeing the black van around them to get answers from him. This imprint might have been the dominant one in the present because it was his last..or whatever. I also prefered Alpha in the penultimate S1 ep than his more crazy state. I haven’t noticed many plot holes at all with the series myself.
Yep, each time you get a new handler, the command words have to be reprogrammed. I’m pretty sure one of the first people that he killed was his handler.
Should have been called Benultimatum…
i think your selling district 9 short
What little we’ve seen of District 9 has me intrigued. The version of the trailer that gives subtitles to the alien at the end also gives it a slightly different spin.
Have you watched alive in joberg?

I actually have seen Alive in Joberg, but it’s been a while. I’ll have to watch it again. Thanks for the link.
The trailer I was talking about before is on the viral site for the movie. It gets rid of the blurring over the alien’s face and adds subtitles for the alien’s dialogue.

Yeah. I’ve seen it. Would you believe I prefer the original version?
Oh sure. I also prefer the “official” trailer, but I do like being able to see the alien’s face.
If it were still on NBC, I think that Scrubs would go well with Chuck.
Happy Birthday Ben
Congrats on making it all the way to 100 before the shifting around :D
I wanna see District 9 without any spoilers at all.
I’m intrigued.
I love Chuck (and am a sucker for crime drama, which is prominent on NBC) but can’t think of any show, other than Heroes, for it to be coupled with, especially since Jay Leno will have the 9pm (cst) slot.
How dare you be in EST. You confused me, and I don’t like it.
:)
Totally agree that Cupid and Chuck would be great together.
I hope you didn’t just call Chuck a Crime Drama. I like you quite a bit. I’d hate to have to shoot you. :P
No, I meant that I just like crime dramas, which other than Chuck and Heroes, is all that’s really on NBC. So other than airing before Heroes, if Chuck were moved to another time slot it would have to pretty much be on before a crime drama.
Chuck is definitely not a crime drama.
I hope that makes sense.
Whew. Your life is spared….for today. Muhaha. o.o
I was kinda hoping the rumor of H&K 3 woul’dve been a stand-alone feature about the two Jewish guys that are always having parallel adventures as the guys.
Will Kal Penn even have time to do this? I thought he was pre-occupied with his new White House gig
Yeah, I heard Penn was giving up acting for 3 years…
I agree with you guys about Parks and Recreation, I tried to get into it but it’s just so bad and unfunny, none of the characters work well together, the comic timing is way off, it’s my least favourite show of the season.
@Jack- Worse than Sit Down, Shut Up?
atleast I’ve laughed at Sit Down, Shut Up once, P&R is just awful
RANDY!!! SCOTT NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU!!!! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Ben Cooper would be a bad choice for Green Lantern….
Not Sack!!
