It's certainly a great truism in football that no club is too big to go down. Newcastle, Leeds and Aston Villa have all felt the sting of relegation in relatively recent times, and both Utd and Spurs were only spared their blushes by the horrendous quality of the bottom three last season.

Star Trek isn't really about "exploring strange new words" or even science/science fiction. Its about people, problems and the problems people face. Science is just the hook those are hung on. I think the bulk of TOS's episodes have a romance angle.
Keeping necessary articles of clothing in the...
I can see why you would think this.
I would say that 'bastardization' is far too strong a word for what they are doing with Spock's character. But I would say that the inordinate focus on his love life has gotten a bit out of hand.
Because they feel the need to focus on why Spock and Chapel...
I'm not sure how bad things will have to get before they pull the trigger on Amorim, He seems completely out of his depth and his tactical inflexibility just seems increasingly childish. There's a weird modern strain of managers who'll just refuse to amend their tactics, no matter how badly...
A lot of things bugged me in season 3, while they were there in the other seasons they became magnified in season 3 to the point of maybe no return
1. it is a soap opera, too much romance and little science fiction or exploring strange new worlds
2. Bastardization of Spock's character. I had...
Two instantly come to mind, others I could easily fight for, others are (not my thing) that make season 1's sense of adventure vastly superior. But that's my opinion and, as with fingers and toes and orifices, we've all got them. So anyhoo, will Suzannah cry for me or thee, or will Suzannah just...
Is that why they always made such a big deal out of a show making to 100 episodes, which was when a show qualified for syndication?
Wow, I'm shocked that none of those have an over dramatic voiced over narration explaining the premise of the series, I thought that was a requirement for all...
I'm really hoping that the bye week helps us get back some of our DL and at least one of our starting corners. Otherwise the BAMA game will be a shootout and I really don't like a shootout on their home field. The State game we just played was rather amazing in that everything that could go...
That show really leaned into the TNA and cop show elements. But it was all over the place with its writing.
Pretty sure Highwaymen got canceled during the writers strike. I enjoyed that show as a kid too. It had the guy from the battery commercials.
A quick look at the 1984-85 tv schedule tells me that Street Hawk was going up against Magnum P.I., Thursday on CBS, before being moved to Friday, where it went up against Dallas on CBS, and Knight Rider on NBC.
Pretty much got lost against a couple of ratings juggernauts.
...stay on the air was that it was basically an ongoing commercial for Dodge Vipers, so the car company was willing to bankroll it even if the ratings weren't great. Sometimes companies are willing to take a loss on a show with mediocre ratings because it profits them in other ways, like the way...

The first x-ray burster star to be discovered from Earth was observed by a team led by astronomer Jonathan Grindlay, who observed two x-ray bursts from the source 4U in NGC 6624.

He didn't explicitly say he was moving the deadline up, but Jellico doesn't explicitly say anything. That's why no one likes working for him. He gives orders impossible to follow without compromise, gets angry if you try to ask which compromise he'd prefer, then gets angrier when the compromise...
A first-rate, well-scripted episode for sure. The character depth and nuance makes for a refreshing contrast to a basic plot about cat'n'mouse in submarines, and the script knew that. I found a couple possible nitpicks, but they're not large and everything else is so pinpoint sharp that I...
Now it's over I can finally rate it and I gave it a 9, and yes maybe episode 5 and the terrifying Eye Midge are doing a bit of heavy lifting there, but only a bit.
Nibs lives! Thank God!
I too figure Atom was the synth 'dad' Kavalier created. The eye thing going after Joe was terrifying but it...
Well, so much for the "normal people"...
It's amazing how this thing keeps getting more expensive after the fact. At this rate what will it cost in 5 years? Anyone got a spreadsheet?
Thinking it over, I'll change my rating for "Our Man Bashir" from an 8 to a 9.
"Passing Through Gethamane" (B5 S3E4)
Technically, this was the last episode of 1995 for Babylon 5. I think it's weird that in the fall they'd show the last four episodes of one season and then the next four...
Part One
The Ju’Day-type raider Bounty slowed to sublight speeds as it approached the satellite.
Though, to call it a satellite wasn’t entirely accurate. It was a gargantuan rectangular construct the size of a small asteroid, one of many that were strategically located at each of the Markon...
