Now if it only had a GAU-8, it would be really something. Equivalent of the gatling gun on the Valks, except a lot more powerful.

Gawd, I hope the production is Japanese if they ever do Macross, not Hollywood.

The season was a downer for me too. Had caught parts of last night's episode, juggling it with Heroes, and then watched the whole thing this morning. I don't mind outing the brother or the father. But the ending was weak. Why the hell did the idiot father take such risks. I still don't understand why little Josh was so special. Who the hell was the main villain? Overall, given how good season 5 was, this one was a bit disappointing. Far too many loose ends. I hate to say it, but I do want papa Bauer to survive, so he can explain essentially 3 seasons worth of stuff.

Having caught the last part of it, I have to say, they needed to have done a better job at the end. How Hiro killed Sylar was just lame. I don't even recall him freezing time. Now, it's sad that Peter comes back, if it is true and Nathan returns as well. Then the show is a loser. Nathan should be dead, when Peter goes kaboom, is he actually harmed himself?

Oops, you're quite right about the Russian thing. Bauer arranged for them to be brought to the US. Although the fact they were transferred to terrorists tend to be a point that somehow papa Bauer seemed to be involved with, but not well explored

I disagree on the part about evil doers. The problem really is that there is a lack of focus. The underlying bad guy is papa Bauer, we don't have any closure on the whole conspiracy thing. Instead we looked at the smaller picture all year long, first the Muslims, then the Russians, and then the Chinese. Why did he (papa Bauer) bother to sell nukes to Russia, that seem to be almost a useless point. He is already plenty rich, what was in it for him to do that? What was in it for papa Bauer to get sonny #2 to pull Logan's strings. Who the hell is behind the kill Palmer #2 plot? Nameless officials don't get together and decide to kill the CEO on a whim. It would be very nice to properly explore these portions. For example, I wouldn't mind finding out Daniels is also being controlled in some way by papa Bauer.

Do you want the answer? Simple: No body cares about some unknown CTU agent... he could've dropped off the face of the Earth for all anyone cared.

Uh oh, daddy Bauer is now getting ready to get grandson Bauer from the US government. Unfortunately, I think daddy Bauer is going to die at the end of the season, just like our poor Chinese compadre. I'm truly disappointed in this season though. It seem like the main focus was about the evilness of daddy Bauer, but he just has so little screen time. Not nearly as evil as Logan was. This was sad. I hope papa Bauer does live, and that as an ongoing arc, they'll put him back into season 7.

Well, ol'George is just pissed because ILM didn't do the special effects. After all, it isn't good when there is competition. I suppose he could've criticized Lord of the Rings too: "I could see it now... well, Tolkein's story wasn't that good to start with, but that Jackson just ruined the whole thing." Now, that would've been bombast. More Star Wars? George, get a clue, that ship sailed 20 years ago. Just like Indiana Jones ship sailed 15 years ago... Wait... that was more Spielberg. Stop grasping at straws and go do something new. But the three more movies will be interesting, Spiderman certainly has a lot of villians to go through, I hope no Carnage, no more symbiote though. I'm not too happy they killed off Osborn though.

I hope papa Bauer lives long enough to be in next season. If I think about it, I'd like old papa Bauer to hook up with Mandy. Haven't seen her since season 4. I really miss Mandy. The only bad guy who has truly escaped the clutches of Bauer so far. As for Milo, well, I never liked him much anyway. So, no big loss, I think though that I don't like Nadia and Ricky very much either, they both need to bite the dust.

Good choice, it'll be a nice scout chopper to fly. Not the threat that everyone thinks of in terms of firepower like the AH-64. But still quite dangerous given what it is armed with.

Well, to be fair, Lou didn't so much as fight side by side with Keifer as he was too busy been taken hostage and getting shot. As to emphasize the point that some Young Guns are just not quite as good as others.

I personally think they ought to bring in Charlie Sheen and Emilio Esteves as guest stars for two episodes and then kill them off. That would've completed the primary cast of Young Guns. And to emphasize the point that at the end, Bauer rules.

Ha ha, I like the brother angle. Old Phil Bauer got into what's her name's pants, result: the Kim lookalike. Milo or the Rich kid (I can't remember his name) is gonna bite the dust.

This godless Chinese commie ba$tard says not if we buy the show first. Hey, I mentioned Terri, and Curtis, even if I spelled his name wrong, but did forget Nina, and "you chopped my hand off, you bastard" Chase, but then after that, I figure it starts to get a bit silly, there are all these nameless red shirts, and so forth, after a while it's hard to keep track of them all. Bah, give Jack a nuke I say. He'd find better targets than some nameless LA suburb.

"You're a curse, Jack, everyone who gets involved with you dies." Well, factually, that's accurate... let's see, Terri, David, Tony, Michelle, Curtis, Edgar, oh wait, Kim is still alive.... where's the cougar

Reviews from press and players eh? Sorry, I never learned to read. It really is just a matter of opinion there. But the year or so in game was not too bad for me. Well, at least the first six to seven months.

Oh no, not another MMO. SWG was good when it started out, but the problem is they started using the EQ model on it. Expansions and so forth. I pretty much quit once Jump to Lightspeed came out. As someone else said earlier, jedi were never essential to the game. But SOE caved to all the rabid power gamers out there. As for KOTOR, I loved the original, the second one had a promising start, and ended in a gigantic abortion of a storyline. I am hoping they get the right people and do a good KOTOR 3, but not an MMO. The story would be difficult in that setting. And honestly Bioware should do the story.

What a pity, I kind of liked the FSW. I really hoped some country would put a production version of an FSW fighter into service.

As for the as UKAF is concerned, have all the Vulcans been withdrawn from service? In terms of a bomb truck, and in view of the current climate, it's not a bad idea to have a B-1 equivalent of some type. I don't think any current European air force has medium/heavy bombers any more, the best they have are all along the lines of Tornados... and... and I don't even know what else. I think when the USAF finally retires both the B-1 and the B-52, they'll sorely be missed. It's very nice talking about precision bombing and so forth. But at the end of the day, imagine the payload of a B-1 or B-52 when coupled with the new SBD. Probably enough to wipe out a good division of tanks. It seems that with no real enemy nowadays, evolution of military equipment has slowed significantly.

The last season of SG1 is not that great, I am really not the biggest fan of the ORI. I personally think that the series should've ended when RDA left. May be even a season before that. And I think to his discredit, RDA keeps trying to come back, and it's not doing SG1 any favors. There are still entertaining episode, but the end is definitely rushed. Take the series finales for example, it tries to tie up loose ends, but the way it happened made me think that they didn't do any justice to some of the long drawn out plot points. Unfortunately, SG-1 in the last two seasons have been kind of like Michael Jordan coming back to the Wizards, well, that certainly didn't help his career much. Atlantis is still fairly promising, although it seems to be no longer on the right track with the current season. (mind you, I've finished watching the entire season of SG-1 and SGA already), but it feels like SGA is starting to draw on a dry well, for example: replicators again... geez.

Bah, you just can't buy a navy. PRC is a long way from a world power in that are. They're a regional power, but that's about it.

Better than that, the F102 also had some built in rockets on that panel. It was quite neat the first time I saw it at WPAFB. I assume that's where you got the pictures.

ha ha, funny, fear the cute bunny, can you imagine the embarrassment of getting killed by that thing?

In either case, it would've been very convenient if Al Sadr died. And his replacements and so on. They might have been martyrs, but the funny thing about martyrs is that they're not around to shoot off their fat mouth. In terms of Fallujah, there is a lesson to be learned, it is an age old lesson, one that the US failed to apply. Mess with us, and die. It was a lesson applied by the most successful military leader in the world. And as long as he lived, the spaces he conquered was fairly well pacified. but then I'm going off base here, we're in the age of media where death and destruction is abhorent. I can imagine a Sherman, or a Patton alive today. That general would've been crucified by the press for any success they had. The US hasn't forgotten how to fight, but somewhere along the way, its leaders became spineless. Moving back to the discussion on the army; it is really best defined by its role. The US army has been really molded into an offensive force. What Rumsfeld tried to do was to bring it in line with his vision of the world, one where armor doesn't matter quite as much as special ops, and plain old ground pounders backed up by lots of sophisticated tech like UAVs, GPS guided munitions and so forth. I think there is a role for both, the trick is finding the right balance. Unfortunately, what's in Iraq right now isn't the right force. It really ought to be a bunch of special ops guys, and not the regular army who show too much presence, and give the media too much attention. All the infantry that's deployed there is a waste of time in my opinion. Remove them, and let keep special ops there, may be put a heavy brigade with good mobility up in Kurdish territory, and another in Kuwait, then call it a day.
