The 2-episode premiere sets the stage to some extent, so it will be interesting to see what direction the show will take with what has happened so far.

Thank you kindly…now to disappear for 90 minutes.

Back and after watching…wow.

First off, Japan made some really bad uncharacteristic errors but on the same token, team USA stepped it up beyond belief. The competition was even slanted towards Japan as they were the only people who actually beat Stage 3 in the history of NW/Sasuke and it had the most points toward it.

Watching Japan just flat out wipe on Stage 2 was tough to watch. You know there are going to be grumblings about them handlebars.

You know they are going to want that salty runback over on their turf (or at least I hope so).

It shouldve took place on Sasuke from the getgo imo.

is BAS still ok???

thats what matters

Another stellar episode of Person of Interest

[details=Spoiler]Jon shows no sign of ring rust.

When do actually film these episodes, the timing is unusually good. I remember they had an episode showing the victims car being remote controlled then forced to crash a month or so after the death of Michael Hastings. Now they are talking about bitcoins and dark internet which has only been in the news recently as well.

I did some google and ogling at Sarah Shahi who plays Ms Shaw, she looks nothing like her character IRL, I would not have recognised her as being the same person, still fine as hell though.

Revolution was so good this week!
THE PATRIOTS!!!

Idk, the course in general was wonkier than usual. I’ve never seen so many slip-ups on the Half Pipe Attack. You either fuck up on the initial approach or you land it clean but like 4 people fucked up the landing in the competition.

Yuuji completely wiped out all day. Double Salmon Ladder was killing people on Stage 2 (though that obstacle always wrecks) but Team USA finished Stage 2 two out of three times, and honestly Arnold had Stage 2 all but completed until messing up the Rope Spin landing.

I think being in the US hurt Japan a slight bit but man, they were feeling the pressure all day whereas it felt USA was playing with House Money. USA was playing like it was an honor and if nothing else, more Mt. Midoriyama practice, especially on Stages 2 and 3 (very rare to get essentially free runs through the ACTUAL course, that’s huge for the next season). Japan though probably felt like the Americans didn’t belong with them (look at all the experience difference between them, exacerbated by the fact that Japan runs Sasuke twice a year to ANW’s once a year) and needed to pound them and the pressure caught up. It makes sense that Ryo, essentially the rising upstart of team Japan, did the best.

You assume that Sasuke gave enough of a crap to want to do that. Usually the Americans had to go on their own dime or have Universal or whomever to pay their way there. Sasuke probably didn’t think THAT highly of the Americans. After this shellacking though, I can definitely see them paying for the Salty Runback in Japan because this performance was just disgraceful.

I caught onto her since the highly underrated show “Life” was on-air (w/ Damian Lewis from Homeland), found out she did a lesbian scene on “The L Word”, and only watched her not-so-great USA series before it was cancelled.

You just reminded me that she guest-starred in Psych as Gus’ girlfriend…

RIP, Professor. I actually thought this guy died a long time ago. The Professor was my favorite character, except when the girls would come on to him and he wouldn’t react. That pissed me off as a kid lol.

Spoiler

Did you miss me?

Yea Life was awesome, I was mad when it didn’t get renewed for a 3rd season.

oh shit hahah theirs a supernatural vs justin beiber beef online hahahah this is stupid.

The Taste
Nigella was wearing a wine-colored dress this episode.

Ludo’s Team trying to repeat the Team Challenge winning run they went on last year, lol.

Top Chef: New Orleans
Roy Choi going in on the chefs for the Quickfire Challenge was a nice change of pace.

Jon Favreau’s movie project (w/ Roy Choi) called Chef sounds kinda interesting.

Lone Target
Was a bit of an interesting watch.
Premise is ex-military guy gets from Point A to Point B through terrain stuffs while avoiding local military forces that track/chase after him.

@thurst
The new season of Real World just started airing recently.

Think I might give up on Tomorrow People after this season

That vote thing with the candles made me want to flip a table.

i stopped watching after the first few episodes. rather go watch the british version…i cant handle this search for charles xaviers. Its got too many xmen nods imo…when the original doesnt.

True Detectives is like a breath of fresh air, really enjoyed the first episode.

sheeeit, I’ve only been watching Tomorrow People because of that one hot broad on there…oh and the cougar-licious “Nina from 24” that’s the guy’s mom…she could still get boned too, without hesitation.
