First of all, I concur with everybody else that Nathan didn't deliberately levitate from the car. And later in the hospital he seemed dazed. He told Peter he was thrown from the car and I'm not sure that he didn't believe that at the time. But I'm sure that guilt is a motivator in his denial of his powers and his agressive attitude towards Peter who is making him think about this flying ability that brings him emotional pain. As for Nikki and Jessica, I've read a bit about multiple personalities. A person with multiple personalities can have an alergy as one person but not have the alergy as another, odd as it is to believe. And multiple personalities can be generated in an abused child who can't handle what is happening to him/her emotionally and creates a different personality to take the abuse. So I can believe that Nikki could have created the Jessica persona to take the beatings she experienced as a child and then resume control when the abuse was over. And I can believe that the Jessica persona could have abilities that Nikki does not. What relationship this has to a dead sister Jessica, who was apparently beaten to death by her father, is unclear. Is this really Jessica's personality or just a manifistation of Nikki's survivor guilt, naming her new personality after her dead sister? And is her father Hal Linderman? I don't know. Linderman is supposed to be filthy rich and a powerful underworld figure and Nikki's father was talking about how a 2 thousand dollar laptop was such an extravigant present. And since Linderman apparently lives in Las Vegas, why was Hal in a cheap motel? But this show, like Lost, seems to love to connect the characters in surprising ways so it could be him. Perhaps Hiro's trip to the past to attempt to save Charlie was a necessary part of his learning to control his powers that will lead him to the knowledge that he needs to go back in time to warn Peter. And if Peter can temporarily absorb someone else's powers, could he absorb all the powers Sylar had collected or just the one he had originally? After next Monday we'll have to wait months for more answers. Darn. KaraS

Well, I've always liked Santa Claus: The Movie. It's the ONLY film I ever really liked Duddley Moore in. And Ghost Busters II is a New Years film, kinda cool. I have Santa Claus Conquors The Martians on tape (I taped it off the Scifi Channel one year), the original version. And this paragraphless format sucks. Those of us who DO know proper English grammar like to use it.

Phantom21, about Giles being underutilized, you bet he was. True, the show was called BUFFY the Vampire Slayer, not Giles the Watcher, but he played a huge role at the beginning of the series. Originally it was Buffy, Xander, Willow and Giles who fought monsters in Sunnydale. Other characters came and went, but those 4 were the heart. If either Willow or Xander had been marginilized in the manner that Giles was, how would you feel? Giles did NOTHING signifigant in season 7, made no real contribution. All he did was stand around and whine and I found that really tiresome. As for the Big Bad not being too big and bad, there's NO WAY they should have been able to win. One Ubervamp was bad news, almost killed Buffy in one on one combat. Yet at the end the slayerettes faced hundreds of the things and triumphed. There's no way they should have been able to do t hat, slayer powers or no. Because over the years, while Buffy's slayer powers were handy, they were not what allowed her to defeat so many foes over the years. Kendra had slayer powers and look how far it got her! What made Buffy a great slayer was her wits and her support system of friends. These things allowed her to overcome challenges that had brought down many other slayers in the past. But in a situation like the final battle, those things shouldn't have been able to help her much against such an overwhelming foe. The Ubervamps should have just powered their way past Buffy and the slayerettes like they weren't even there.

Maybe they are trying to initiate another night of original programming. What do they have on Sunday's now, reruns of bad movies? And while ratings for BSG have been down, I seriously doubt they are trying to kill their most visible show that even mainstream critics adore.

First, had Buffy died in season 7, another slayer would not have been called. Buffy died in season 1 and her only replacement, Kendra, was called at that time. The slayer line continued with Faith. Had Faith died, another slayer would have been called, but when Buffy died in season 5, no new slayer was called. Secondly, give Angel a try. He was very different in his own series from what he was in Buffy and they concocted a brilliant supporting cast for him to play off of, both Buffy alums and new characters as well. As for Buffy season 7, it was my least favorite of the series. I found the Big Bad TOO big and bad. There was no way they should have been able to defeat it. The slayers-in-training were dull and Giles was terribly underutilized. I don't think he had more than one or two good scenes in the whole season. Very disappointing.

The thing about the Geek Trio is that they CHOSE to be evil. The past villians, vampires and demons were evil because that's what they were. They enjoyed their evil, especially Angelus, but they weren't really responsible because they were just being true to their natures. The Geek Trio were humans, ensouled beings, who chose to be evil when they had the choice to be good. Andrew and Jonathan were bad at it. They were really just playing games and didn't really want to hurt anybody. But Warren really embraced his evil. He was always a user and manipulator. The first time we met him he had created an artificial girlfriend and, when he found something he thought was better, he abandoned her with no intention of taking responsibility for his creation. And when he accidentally killed Katrina, again he had no intention of taking responsibility, and no remorse either. In the end, he may have been the most reprehensible villian Buffy ever faced because he so spactacurlarly failed as a human being. And how annoying is it that with this new format you can't seperate paragraphs! KaraS

Am I the only person who didn't like Mr Eko? I found him dull and his death doesn't really stir me. But I'm loving LOST.

Well, I think that smoking IS an integral part of Wolvie's character. He can't get lung cancer and he doesn't care wether or not his offensive cigars bother others. He's in-you-face and baaaad. It's part of what makes him so loveable. To take away the smoking is like nutering him. And surely John Constintine wouldn't be the same without his ciggies. Of course since he is a DC character, we don't need to worry about it (yet).

You know, I liked Dawn. She was SUPPOSED to be an irritating little sister who got in the way. That was the relationship to Buffy that the Monks had chosen. They made her weak so that Buffy would protect her. Dawn grew up a lot in season 6 and really came into her own in season 7, perhaps the only good thing about season 7.

Scifi didn't actually make Black Scorpion. Both Black Scorpion and The Secret Adventures Of Jules Verne were made by their production companies on spec and sat around for a while, looking for an outlet. Scifi bought the rights to air both shows. Actually, while Black Scorpion was BAD, it was kind of entertaining in it's own way. Tremmors the Series had it's moments too. You just couldn't take either show very seriously. BSG continues to get better and better. Lost still holds my interest very nicely. I don't want all the questions answered too quickly. What fun would that be? KaraS
