^^^ > Just caught last night’s LOST on Tivo

I watched it here:

The new version of ABC’s free online player finally has a
full-screen mode, and the video quality is tolerable,
at least for me (your mileage may vary).

(I’d like to see CBS add TOS-R to their online player,
though the video quality wouldn’t do it justice.)

17 – Just caught last night’s LOST on Tivo, and was floored. Poor Locke–I feel bad for him and at the same time it seems he’s going over deeper and deeper into the dark side. Great episode, keep ‘em coming!

#21 “BIG fat chance”
Hey, this gives us an idea for the next chapter in Shatner’s career! With his distinctive singing style, why doesn’t Shatner become the oldest, and most famous, rapper in the music biz! He gave us a taste of it at the end of Free Enterprise. I can hear the promo now, “Come see the most energetic septegenarian ever! Come see BIG FAT SHAT!! Yo, yo, yo…what it is…

I think ABC should give it a go with the next Stat Trek tv show, whenever that will be. NBC had their chance & cancelled it. CBS had their chance, put it on UPSux & cancelled it. ABC needs a go. Heck, since Abrams has a long history w/ABC, he’s got the right contacts & could produce the thing. ABC’s done a big turnaround & has some kickass shows now & I like their style. They’re not gloomy like all the CBS forensics & death & kidnapping & war.

Yeah, I know, BIG fat chance of that happening though…

And yea for more Boston Legal & Lost to look forward to :)

I saw that episode replayed a few years ago. Bill played it very low-key, not at all like his blustery Denny Crane character of Boston Legal.

The Barbary Coast is on pirate DVDs.

Yes, it was the TV Movie Awards… too bad they didn’t put the captain in the gold tunic.

I’m not sure whether the Seven Parody is from the Oscars show or the MTV Movies awards of that year. Rescue 911 Shatner was doing the Kevin Spacey role… TJ Shatner was Brad Pitt and Shakirk was … oh, what’s his face. You know… God. Morgan Freeman. Oh, and Mister TamberShatner was someone else in that film, but I won’t give away the ending if you haven’t seen Seven.
