Lars, I just re-read your post. I really like you & this statement didn't register at first... "...but I imagine that there were a lot of people from out of town there." Were you implying that, as the other team, there were many Bostonians & New Englanders there & that if THEY would have rioted you wouldn't have been surprised? I hope that's not what you meant...'cause while I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, New England has lost their reputation as "long-suffering losers" & have some experience nowadays with winning championship games without doing tens of millions of dollars in damage to Boston or somebody's else's town. New England Patriots: 2002, 2004, & 2005 (Super Bowl Champs) Boston Red Sox: 2004 & 2007 (World Series Champs) Boston Celtics: 2008 (NBA title champs) Boston Bruins: 2011 (Stanley Cup) We surely understand how Vancouver feels. The Red Sox, the Bruins and the Patriots delivered many calamities but zero championships for a LONG TIME. But this city has ridden an unprecedented wave of success over the past decade. The Bruins' victory in the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night made Boston the first city to win championships in all four major sports within a 10 year span. Like the other trophies, the Stanley Cup will go on "tour" throughout New England so all the loyal fans can touch it & snap a picture. Yesterday, it was pushed through the streets of Boston in a baby carriage so fans could admire. :) It's been a LONG time since Boston's won the Stanley Cup & they were the last of our four teams to get their championship...they knew New England was counting on them to deliver. Fans were too happy to destroy anything. They were too busy kissing people they'd never met before! :) /tricia

It has the potential to be really good. I'm just afraid that the premise of this guy having a cult following of thousands is too far fetched. If he were living in the world, it might fly; but, a dealth-row inmate - hours from death. I don't think it's going to be successful. I had to same feeling with Last Resort. The first episode was gripping. By the second episode I was getting angry. The premise of our military setting the stage for an imaginary war and hanging the sailors out to dry was beyond this navy wife. Turned it off and never looked back. I'm glad others didn't buy into it either. Our military needs moral support, not to be taken for fools.

I used to watch Bones regularly and honestly lost interest a few seasons ago. There are a ton of episodes on my DVR waiting for me to watch. I absolutely agree that their "house" seemed uncharacteristic of their style considering Bones' and Booth's own apartments. Seemed to lack the eclectic "global" feel that Bones' had and the masculine modern feel I remember Booth's apartment having.

I keep thinking his ways are gonna catch up to Keith someday. Gonna bite him big time. Do you remember that show where easy going captain Jonathan Hillstrand and Keith get into a physical fight? That was too wonderful! I love that he called him out on national tv. Can't hide then. Excerpt: "But just minutes into the episode, it was a simmering feud between Time Bandit captain Johnathan Hillstrand and Wizard skipper Keith Colburn that stole the show. Hillstrand takes exception after a deckhand reveals Colburn all but recruited him at the taproom -- a violation of the skippers' unwritten code. Johnathan pledges to confront Keith at the captains' annual gathering the night before the season opens. Usually held at a tavern, this year's meeting convened around a burn barrel at an old barge at Dutch Harbor. Hillstrand shows up ready for a fight, calling out captain Colburn almost immediately and going nose-to-nose with him as the other skippers watch. Hillstrand shoves Colburn on his ass, with captain Phil getting between them after Colburn gets back to his feet. Colburn has never really endeared himself to the show's die-hards, and the reaction of the other captains to Hillstrand's aggression -- they simply stood by and watched, without saying a word -- speaks volumes of captain Keith's standing among his peers. The camera captures Hillstrand growling, again eyeball-to-eyeball with Colburn, in a parting shot: "Don't even call my boat unless you're (bleeping) sinking." It's riveting stuff. The capper comes in a reflective moment by the overmatched Colburn later in the wheelhouse. It comes off as laughable, given the way he toppled like a Weeble Wobble when shoved: "At the end of the day, I was man enough not to lash out and go back at him." Yeah. Right. Whatever you say, Keith." Here is a link that might be useful: article about the fight
