I can't tell if this is twisted and wrong, or if it's covered in awesome. 25????

New England's ALWAYS played like that. Back when they were on their 21-win streak, they would demolish the really tough teams that were the cream of the NFL, and barely squeak by the Terre Haute Community College Fighting Insurance Salesmen. It's maddening. People say that they tend to play at the level of their opponents. I admit that it was less interesting when they were blowing everyone out 45-14, but it was also a LOT less stressful. :laugh:

You did. yes. Tune in next week when the waitress tells me not to touch the plate because it's hot, followed shortly by a mad hunt for cold water and bandages.

Oh. Oh, my. I can still see it when I close my eyes.

Understandable; British TV on DVD tends to be prohibitively expensive. IMHO, totally worth it, although I'm biased as a Whovian fanboy from way back. And Blink in particular was a highlight, despite being this year's Doctor-lite episode (although the writer, Steven Moffatt [Coupling, Jekyll, scads of other really good TV] actually turned that into a strength of the episode).

Did you ever finish out the season? What did you think? I loved this episode, and it was smack dab in a run of seven or eight really good, strong episodes.

JUST listened to this episode (my podcasting has been lacking of late, because breaking iPods is apparently my new mutant superpower). This was AWESOME. I haven't watched or really even thought about TNG in years. This was three solid hours of me going "Hey, yeah, I remember that one!" and then having to apologize to coworkers for the outburst. I'm definitely going to have to track down the show.

Nope. When is it set: now or in the past? And welcome to the forums! Thanks! I only recently discovered the podcast, and I'm really enjoying it. It's a five-issue series that takes places over their whole careers: Issue one in set in Spidey's Ditko era, issue two is during the John Romita Sr. years, issue 3 is during the 70's, issue 4 is in the black costume period, and the last issue is more or less now. All that said, while a knowledge of Marvel history doesn't hurt, it's equally enjoyable to someone totally unfamiliar with the characters. I've always loved the semi-combative, incredibly competitive, almost brother-like relationship between the Torch and Spidey, and Dan Slott (She-Hulk, The Thing) captures it PERFECTLY. On top of which, Ty Templeton's artwork is beautiful. Plus, it's seven bucks. I've spent more than that on books I didn't care for just to complete a run.

My first post... be gentle. Have you read the collected Spider-Man/Human Torch "I'm With Stupid"? It's absolutely hysterical, and both my wife and my ten-year-old son loved it.
