That's ...<i>Noel, help me, is this a new feature?</i><br /><br />That's a good question, and I'm not sure. My memory tells me things have been most single shot, but I can't say with a certainty I haven't missed any other rapid fires.<br /><br /><i>I hate to tell you, but I've watched the next episode and they use it again.</i><br /><br />If this were a hundred years after the collapse of civilization, I could understand this. Wouldn't make it any easier to listen to, but it would make sense. But it's only been 15 years! Everyone here was already alive during that time and were further raised by people who would have been adults then! Yet even those adults are talking this way! Gah!<br /><br /><i>Nice Street Hawk callback. Totally forgot about that one.</i><br /><br />I still remember that scene well. Forgot I kept a tally of Jesse's bodycount throughout the series, though. 14 total, 6 in that episode alone.NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-73994986634218621702014-09-29T06:23:16.404-07:002014-09-29T06:23:16.404-07:00Hey, Tony!

Three in a row where Lord Dread is on his feet for a stroll. :)</i><br /><br />If this show weren't 30 years old, I might think someone out there was actually listening to me :p.<br /><br /><i>and someone, be it Straczynski or his co-writer this ep, Marc Scott Zicree - who also wrote that annoying teen in "Pariah" - tried way too hard with the slang and rural lingo,</i><br /><br />"I skull" this and "I skull" that. I hate to tell you, but I've watched the next episode and they use it again. <br /><br /><i> Tony was won over a few episodes ago, but this is the one that finally sold me on Tim Dunigan as our stalwart Captain.</i><br /><br />Still plenty of room on the Tim Dunnigan bandwagon if anyone else would like to hop on :p.<br /><br /><i>At the Showcase, we haven't seen a hero go this dark since that episode of Street Hawk where Jesse Mach howled in fury as he opened his machine guns on a dock full of goons,</i><br /><br />Nice <i>Street Hawk</i> callback. Totally forgot about that one.Tony Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127116586453811407noreply@blogger.com
