I’m working my way though The Lone Gunmen too. The problem is that the quality of episodes is variable. These days, a network series can’t stand to have any really dud episodes. It’s got some genuine geek-appeal though and it’s worth a watch. Like me, I bet you hate it when you are hacking away on your computer and an error box pops up with a flashing “System Overload!” warning <img src='http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=":-)" /> I love the ex-football player. That actor has a superb David Hasselhoff emulation mode. Hey! I’m working my way though The Lone Gunmen too.

A fluke is a chance happening that is unlikely to happen again in the same circumstances. e.g. Stan : “I threw the ball as the basketball hoop standing backwards behind the 3 point line and with my eyes shut and it went through the hoop.” Mitch : “That was a fluke, dude. You’ll never be able to repeat that again!” I don’t think you mean “fluke”. A fluke is a chance happening that is unlikely to happen again in the same circumstances. e.g.

There were a few other flukes too. Like in the episode where the PC was formatted but they found a backup… CPU that had the data in it. Best line was this in the episode where the monkey is typing on the PC: Langly: <i>That’s gibberish.</i> Frohike: <i>No, that’s Linux!</i> >Did you hear J.J. Abrams on the Colbert Report? Nope, what did he say? BTW, remember that while J.J. Abrams gets all the fame about “Lost”, the show was not his idea, neither he is the sole writer of it (they have a team of 4-5 writers actually). Originally, there was another writer who pitched the idea to Abrams. >The Lonegunmen pilot had the worst line ever.

Did you hear J.J. Abrams on the Colbert Report ? I have to agree, last night’s Lost was a trip. Who was that woman ? Did Desmond go back in time ? What happened to his clothes ? The Lonegunmen pilot had the worst line ever.
