Naw...Atlas V has way too much...head.

Only cause they laid off the last guy on staff who knew COBOL and he took the TRS-81 that was running the shuttle with him when he left.

Well put.

I'm about halfway through S3.

The greatest thing about MacGyver is that he was an ex Army Ranger. An ex Army Ranger, who doesn't use guns.

No one wants a Toasterfridge?!

I'll just leave this here.

None of the above.

A valid point. There are some good Mythos related work that's played straight (Stross's Laundry series, Move Under Ground)I think its mostly a reflection of the horror genre as a whole. People always want make jokes.Eventually things fall into self parody. It probably has something to do with the human fear response.…

I would bet good money that the first force field shot wasn't in the original edit and the studio had them add it after a few focus groups. The whole rousing speech followed by immediate death is so signature Joss, that I doubt he'd purposely give it away early like that.

ROFL! One of my former bosses had similar story except the 'bater was an Architectural model builder and my boss found him the next morning passed out on top of a project with 4 lines of coke on the lightbox next to him and his dick in his hand.
