WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
**********************



Wow, well played women! I can’t believe 5 women made it to the end, well actually I can. They started as a tribe together and after a tribe shuffle and a merge, the women went back to their first tribe and played the men very well. Kim was definitely a very deserving winner. I always hate when someone just sort of sneaks in at the end and gets the money just because the jury is jealous that someone ousted them. It would have been interesting to see where Colton would have gone in that game. Would the women have kept him around? Probably, because the rest of the men in the jury probably wouldn’t have voted for him. I was also surprised by them not keeping in Christina since she really shouldn’t have gotten any final votes either.]]> http://maxfenig.com/survivor-one-world/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/river-song/ http://maxfenig.com/river-song/#comments Tue, 12 Jul 2011 12:35:09 +0000 max http://maxfenig.com/?p=1314 So now that we know who River Song (Melody Pond, get it?) is, there are so many questions. Namely does River Song and The Doctor hook up? Is River Song going to be the next companion? It seems unlikely to me that Amy & Rory are actually going to raise a child on the TARDIS so I really think this will be the last season that Karen Gillan is on the show. Even though I have already stated I want David Tenant and Billie Piper back on Doctor Who I am actually looking forward to River Song being a companion on the show. Hopefully it will happen. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/river-song/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/stormtrooper-lois-lane/ http://maxfenig.com/stormtrooper-lois-lane/#comments Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:31:39 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=1103 Here is shot of Lois Lane as a StormTrooper from the Smallville episode entitled “Warrior”. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/stormtrooper-lois-lane/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/amy-did-remember-rory/ http://maxfenig.com/amy-did-remember-rory/#comments Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:47:38 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=961 But then Rory killed Amy.

Can we get Billie Piper back now? ]]> http://maxfenig.com/amy-did-remember-rory/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/will-schuester-sings-the-etoys-song/ http://maxfenig.com/will-schuester-sings-the-etoys-song/#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 02:57:38 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=951 Did you watch Glee tonight?

I think she will. And I think it will lead to her leaving the Doctor as all companions eventually do. In the Doctor Who episode “Vincent and the Doctor” the doctor and Amy visit Vincent van Gogh and there are many hints about Rory that the Doctor accidentally drops around Amy, and she seems confused each time.
As you may know or maybe you don’t I still want David Tenant & Billie Piper back on the show, but this is the first time I watched almost an entire episode without thinking that the entire time. Guess the writers did a good job.]]> http://maxfenig.com/will-amy-remember-rory/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/farewell-jack-bauer/ http://maxfenig.com/farewell-jack-bauer/#comments Fri, 28 May 2010 15:14:12 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=926 I really liked the ending of 24. I am of course sad to see it go, but I think the writers did a really good job of ending the series well. No fluff, no changing the fell of the entire series. Jack Bauer went out the way Jack Bauer should go out. I do hope your days eventually get better though Jack.]]> http://maxfenig.com/farewell-jack-bauer/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/russell-hantz-should-have-won-survivor-again/ http://maxfenig.com/russell-hantz-should-have-won-survivor-again/#comments Tue, 18 May 2010 04:12:35 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=898 I cannot believe Sandra Diaz-Twine won Survivor, what a complete waste she is. Survivor is the only place where you can sit around and do nothing and get rewarded for it. Russell Hantz controlled the game, completely, twice! Russell should have won both times. Seems like he just needs to work on his Final Three selection processes to finally win. Maybe if he had brought Parvati Shallow & Danielle DiLorenzo then he could have said look these are the 2 people I was loyal to from the beginning of the season and I kept them, and he could use the argument of controlling the game. If you are going to play the villain role only bring true villains with you to the final three, that way you don’t get any players like Sandra or Natalie White who were just along for the ride, winning Survivor. Everyone lies in the game of Survivor, it’s part of the game people, accept it already. Just because the jury doesn’t want to admit to themselves that they lied during the game, doesn’t make it okay for them to be up on a high horse when they go to vote. I think everyone on the jury was there because Russell Hantz put them there, suck up your pride people and vote for the person that beat you at the game, not someone who just slid by the whole game.]]> http://maxfenig.com/russell-hantz-should-have-won-survivor-again/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/doctor-who-stone-angels/ http://maxfenig.com/doctor-who-stone-angels/#comments Sun, 16 May 2010 23:54:47 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=880 I must says I think the stone angels from Doctor Who, which just appeared in the 2 part episodes “The Time of Angels” & “Flesh and Stone” are the scariest Doctor Who villains out there. Sure the Daleks are the arch enemies of the Time Lords, but the stone angels are definitely the scariest. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/doctor-who-stone-angels/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/every-question-i-answer-will-simply-lead-to-another-question/ http://maxfenig.com/every-question-i-answer-will-simply-lead-to-another-question/#comments Thu, 13 May 2010 17:14:06 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=863 Ha-Ha. Yeah we know lady, like who are you. Here are some questions that did get answered In the Lost episode “Across the Sea” we are introduced to Jacob’s mother, and we find out Jacob and the man in black (who apparently was never given a name) are twin brothers. The lady & the man in black also turn out to be Adam & Eve skeletons from way back in season 1. “The Others” are on the island from real early on, and the Man in black lives with them for 30 years. More questions for you JJ, Damon, et al.? Does the man in black have no actual body now? Is the lady who delivers the babies the first person on the island? How do I play the man in black’s game? Is the light now extinguished?

I loved how happy the Heroes looked when Parvati gave the first idol to Sandra, then how there faces turned to utter agony when Parvati gave the second idol to Jerri. Of course it would have been more awesome if Parvati had someone figured out the Heroes where going to vote for Jerri and just use 1 idol and save the other for next week. Oh well. Hopefully Russell finds another idol quick. I never saw the other seasons Parvati was on, but she may be giving Russell a run for the title of best Survivor player ever.]]> http://maxfenig.com/parvati-with-2-immunity-idols/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/what-is-the-point-in-being-afraid/ http://maxfenig.com/what-is-the-point-in-being-afraid/#comments Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:29:23 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=780 Because the Man in Black will push you into a well if you aren’t.

Although Tess figuring out Green Arrow’s secret identity was very reminiscent of Batman and Catwoman figuring out each others secret identity in Batman Returns. I did like how Martian Manhunter, when talking to Clark, referred to everyone as a team. I didn’t enjoy the slow-mo action at the beginning of the episode with Green Arrow jumping from rooftop to rooftop. And Ollie come on with Tess it’s always a trap. But I guess that is the downfall of man, they are blinded by the women they love. I did however really enjoy the slow-mo at the end where Clark rescues Chloe, I guess becuase that was more stills except for the slightly moving bullet. Also good to see Amanda Waller as a tough character, she always seems less intimidating in the cartoons, but then Pam Grier is a pretty intimidating woman. And who is the Red Queen? I am sure people more into Superman than I already know that answer, but I don’t. Guess I’ll find out soon enough.]]> http://maxfenig.com/checkmate-indeed/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/lost-crisis-on-two-earths/ http://maxfenig.com/lost-crisis-on-two-earths/#comments Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:36:45 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=749 Warning Spoilers ahead for the Lost episode “Happily Ever After”. So it seems as though Sideways World is slowly breaking down. I guess that means we won’t get to choose our ending. Which is good, I don’t want a choice, I just want a darn good ending to the series. Eloise & Desmond’s talk reminded me of The Matrix, where Mr. Smith is talking to Neo and says “Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program.” Even with Desmond getting what he wants, according to Eloise which was Charles Whitmore’s approval, he still was looking for more. I don’t totally agree here with Eliose. I think more than anything Desmond wants to be with Penny, yes he does want Charles Whitmore’s approval, but I believe that is secondary to Desmond being with Penny. So this whole episode does beg the question, is Charlie the first to find out, they are in the Matrix, or did Daniel figure it our first? Seems like they met before, so maybe Daniel “wanted to show something” to Charlie, who in turn passed it onto Desmond, who in turn is about to pass it onto George. And one more thing, I remember reading sites when it was first announced that Charlie would return, and they were like how could they do that, he’s dead. Wake Up people this is Sci-Fi. No ones dead unless you see the body, and then their not necessarily dead. Plus once you throw in Time Travel & Alternate Worlds, a cast member can always come back. Which of course leads to the question, who is the best surprise comeback ever? My answer would be George Clooney’s Dr. Ross, reuniting with Julianna Margulies’s Carol on ER at the end of season 6, in the episode “Such Sweet Sorrow”.]]> http://maxfenig.com/lost-crisis-on-two-earths/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/billie-piper-come-back-to-doctor-who/ http://maxfenig.com/billie-piper-come-back-to-doctor-who/#comments Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:07:43 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=732 and bring David Tenant with you. Billie Piper it’s time for you to come back to Doctor Who, it’s been a really long time since you were a series regular, we miss you. While you are at it drag David Tenant back too. You can have the writers to chalk the 11th Doctor up to a bad nightmare, it really doesn’t matter how they do it, just come back to Doctor Who. Billie Piper, you and David Tenant had such great chemistry on Doctor Who together.

The first episode of the new season, is appropriately called “The Eleventh Hour”. I liked Matt Smith as the Doctor, I liked his new companion Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, I like the story, I liked the new opening credits scene. But I still want David Tennant back. I really don’t think anything will change my mind from that. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/i-still-want-david-tennant-back/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/you-have-0-friends/ http://maxfenig.com/you-have-0-friends/#comments Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:11:59 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=716 The latest episode of South Park is a fantastic rip on Facebook and the never ending pull of time it takes from us. I don’t want to say to much with out giving it all away, but there is a great inclusion of Tron as well. If you enjoy South Park, Tron or Facebook I highly recommend it. Even if like me you haven’t watched South Park in years. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/you-have-0-friends/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/the-lost-numbers-with-names-revealed/ http://maxfenig.com/the-lost-numbers-with-names-revealed/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 04:15:44 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=593 In the Lost episode “The Substitute” the reason behind the numbers has been revealed, well mostly at least. The Man in Black said “Jacob had a thing for numbers” so maybe there is more to come. In a previous post we had talked about Jacob being in the lives of those on Oceanic Flight 815, before they made it to the island. Looks like he has been in the lives of many others as well. The Man in Black, aka fake Locke, took Sawyer (a treacherous climb to be sure) to a cave and revealed “That’s why you’re here. That James is why you’re all here” There were a ton of names (looks like at least 416) on the walls, most of which were crossed out, but “Not all of them”. These are all that was left. #4 – Locke #8 – Reyes #15 – Ford #16 – Jarrah #23 – Shepard #42 – Kwon – “I don’t know if it’s Sun or Jin” says the Man in Black Everyone except Locke on this list was still alive when the numbers were revealed. So 3 ideas for Locke still being on the list. 1 – Jacob didn’t back to the cave yet to mark him off. 2 – Jacob didn’t know he was dead. 3 – Locke is still alive. There are lots of people still alive that were not on this list (Desmond, Claire, Kate). So why are only some still left not crossed out? Will that be revealed?]]> http://maxfenig.com/the-lost-numbers-with-names-revealed/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/the-justice-league-is-coming/ http://maxfenig.com/the-justice-league-is-coming/#comments Sat, 20 Feb 2010 14:00:18 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=561 Smallville really is a different show in seasons 8-9, than it was in the first 7 seasons. I think seasons 1-7 & 8-9 are both really great, and I don’t prefer one over the other, but is really nice that the show is maturing and bringing different elements in. In seasons 1-7 is was really about Clark coming into his own. Learning about his powers and learning about responsibility. The Spider-Man quote definitely comes into play. With great power comes great responsibility. I think Jonathan Kent was really responsible for a lot of that learning. In seasons 8-9, Clark is learning that is more than just about him though. Sometimes he needs help, but even more than that, he needs to be a leader, a great leader in fact. In episode “Absolute Justice” the members of the Justice Society really tried to make this clear to Clark. Dr Fate: “You will lead this generation” and “It will be a silver age of heroism”. Stargirl: “So what do you call your team anyways?”. Hawkman: “You don’t do this for glory or vengeance”. Great leaders don’t lead to be great, they lead because they see the need is there, and because they do what is right and just. Sometimes great leaders are thrust into power, not of their own accord, but because those around them know they can do the job and do it well. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/the-justice-league-is-coming/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/do-we-get-to-choose-our-lost-ending/ http://maxfenig.com/do-we-get-to-choose-our-lost-ending/#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:05:01 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=566 With Lost having a split reality now, will it end that way?

I don’t believe she will choose Jack or Sawyer. In the first episode of season 6 Kate went to check on Jack first after they time traveled. In the 3rd episode Kate went to check on Sawyer in the house that Sawyer and Juliet shared. Kate has been so back and forth over the first 5 seasons, although I think she has always leaned more towards Sawyer than Jack. Maybe if Sawyer and Juliet didn’t live together then maybe Kate would have chosen Sawyer. There are only a handful of episodes left before Kate has to make her decision, let’s see what happens.]]> http://maxfenig.com/kate-wont-choose-jack-or-sawyer/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/top-10-lost-reveals/ http://maxfenig.com/top-10-lost-reveals/#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:15:39 +0000 ray http://maxfenig.com/?p=515 Last & Final season, here is a look back at the Top 10 reveals from the first 5 seasons of Lost. Hopefully there will be a lot more reveals this season.

10. Rose’s husband Bernard is actually alive. The whole first season she kept saying he was alive, in season 2 we finally get to meet him.
9. Jin speaks English.
8. Locke was in a wheelchair. Flashback to Locke trying to go on a walkabout and it is revealed that Locke was in a wheelchair before the plane crash.
7. Locke is the dead dude Jeremy Bentham seen in the Flash Forwards.
6. Jacob has been in the lives of the passengers of Oceanic flight 815, before they made it to the island. Sayid, Kate, Sawyer, Jack, Jin & Sun, John all meet Jacob before coming to the island.
5. Sayid was in the Republican National Guard.
4. Richard Alper never ages.
3. End of Season 3 is a flash forward, revealing at least some passengers will indeed get off the island.
2. French woman’s distress signal has been on a loop for 16 years.
1. Ethan’s not on the list. When Hurley reveals to Jack that Ethan is not on the passenger manifest.

Lost and Dollhouse. With Lost we have known for a few years that the 6th season would be its last. Dollhouse was forced to an end a couple months ago. This all makes me think about the end of The X-Files. The X-Files was my favorite series in college. Quite possibly my favorite series ever. Seasons 1-5 were awesome. The first movie came out which was really hyped and I feel lived up to the hype. Season 6-7 were really good as well, but you could easily see that they had moved from Vancouver to California. After season 7 David Duchovny didn’t want to be a part of the series anymore, but Fox knowing that The X-Files was a cash cow went on with seasons 8 & 9 anyways. A very big mistake. I have yet to meet a fan of the series that enjoyed the last 2 seasons, my wife even stopped watching and she’s just as big a fan me. Duchovny of course came back for parts of season 8 & 9 (but it didn’t make a difference at that point) and the second movie, which also seems kind of blah. I really wish the show had ended at season 7. Dollhouse up until Fox announced was canceled seemed to really be wandering and not giving us a whole lot of answers about anything. Thankfully Fox allowed Joss Whedon some time to finish off the series, instead of just blowing it away like they did with Firefly (in my opinion his best series). This has given Joss the opportunity to spew forth lots of answers. Since Fox canceled the series I have actually enjoyed it a lot more and will miss it. When Fox announced the cancellation I was really ambivalent to the news. Fox making Joss condense the show to 7 or 8 episodes what would have been dragged out over 3-4 years is a quick payoff for the fans. Though I am sure many will be upset over the quick end. Lost announced the end of the series a few years back. This really let JJ Abrams and crew plot out where the series was going to go and how to end the show and how to lead up to that end. I really think this was an excellent decision on the part of ABC. I am really going to miss Lost when it goes off the air, but it is a thousand times better then some of cast or crew getting upset and leaving the show and the series dragging on for a few extra seasons that no one really enjoys and really brings down the series as a whole. There are lots more shows that dragged on too long Prison Break, Alias (thankfully ABC saw that error quickly and it only dragged on for about half a season too long). And way to many that end earlier than they needed to Buffy, Angel, Jericho. It is definitely a fine balance of not canceling a show to early and not letting drag on to long. I think Lost might be the first series that has ever found that balance. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/the-end/feed/ 0 http://maxfenig.com/florida-doesnt-have-tags-in-the-front/ http://maxfenig.com/florida-doesnt-have-tags-in-the-front/#comments Wed, 13 May 2009 02:17:47 +0000 ray http://www.maxfenig.com/?p=358 Prison Break is finally back onto wrap up what I think is it’s final season. Anyways now they are tooling around in “Miami”. All the cars they are driving have Florida license plates in the back and front of the car. What’s the problem with this? Well Florida cars don’t have license plates in the front. They are only in the back. How do I know this you might ask? Well I’ve lived here my whole life. We’ve never had them in the front. The producers should do a little more research. ]]> http://maxfenig.com/florida-doesnt-have-tags-in-the-front/feed/ 0
