Some reviewers have suggested that the storyline of this movie is a bit plodding and portentous, and I'd be willing to allow that. But even if this film had absolutely no plot to speak of, I would have considered the money I plunked down yesterday to see "Hero" to be money well-spent, because I have been witness to some of the most achingly beautiful film-making I've ever seen. As in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," the characters here fly through the air and dance across water, but "Crouching Tiger" surely could have benefited from the sublime camera eye of "Hero." One scene of swordplay in particular that takes place in a grove of trees amongst swirling yellow leaves almost stopped my heart in my chest: It was that gorgeous. And yes, there is a plot also, one that involves various assassins with names like Sky, and Broken Sword, and Flying Snow. I have to admit that the tales and counter-tales told were a bit confusing at first, but by the time the film is over, all the pieces have fallen into place, and this chapter of ancient Chinese history has assumed a truly mythical quality. At a time when movie theaters show a lot of utter dreck, we ought to be supporting movies like this.
Hero is noteworthy on at least two counts.
First, there are scenes of haunting beauty("Duel in the yellow forest" and "Turquoise autumn" to site a couple) that, like the best of impressionist paintings, are so affecting that you will forever see the world in a slightly different way having once beheld them.
Secondly, the overall message of the film is a provocative one. The claim is that a degree of human casualties and suffering may be the optimal path to a better world, especially when the alternative is equally brutal chaos. This is not a popular theme. It has become much more fashionable to be anti-war in all cases. And understandably so, since variations of this logic have often been used in the past to justify atrocities. But the film provides a crisp litmus test for avoiding delusion: action must be taken with a heart void of malice and an unwavering commitment to the broadest possible ultimate outcome of good for all. Can anyone live up to this standard? Several characters in the movie do, each in their own way. If the standard could be met, would the world be a better place? These are questions worth reflecting on that have not been dealt with, to this depth, in any film I'm aware of.
Rarely have I been so astounded by such a magnificent, awe-inspiring
film. If you have not yet placed your eyes on this masterpiece of
Chinese cinema then I cannot recommend this film highly enough. 'Hero'
is by far the best Chinese film I have ever seen, and already a firm
favourite of all time.
The imagery is unparallelled, simply draw-droppingly near perfect scenes, with bold and vibrant use of colour, symbolism and scenery. The fluent flow of the storyline, the delicate direction of the sword slicing action, the Chinese cultural concepts and the emotionally charged scenes between characters combine to produce a simply remarkable achievement.
This film has a few elements from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but is far, far superior in every way. The sleek direction from Yimou Zhang is so perfectly done, just imagine two martial arts experts ensuing in battle against each other, defying the laws of physics as we know it, and yet following them in 360 degrees in slow motion as one deflects a droplet of rain from one sword to the other, at the same time spinning and leaping over water... simply beautiful. The attack sequences are also superbly set, with hundreds of thousands of the King's warriors in formation, simultaneously firing enough arrows into the city which literally cover the sky, in addition to the viewer being able to watch the journey of a single arrowhead aimed during this event. The build up to the attack along with the unnerving tune of a Chinese stringed instrument help you, as the audience, to become firmly engrossed in your seat.
The individual martial arts is also second to none, for myself particularly to see the distant shots of the whole battle sequence showing the true skills involved with fighting, such as footwork, perfect timing,aggression, counter attacks and defence. Jet Li shows he is truly the grand daddy of martial arts. I cannot stress enough how much you need this film in your life.
The colourful imagery imposed by the director will take your breath away with luscious, vivid, bright, wind-blown,draped backgrounds as the setting for the important progression of the story. Even the story itself is brought to the audience in such a way which ensures your undivided attention, as there are twists in the tales and hidden plots which do not develop until the end of the film.Even short individual scenes are memorable due to their sheer awesome display of skill and speed.
This film even holds a political message which is relevant to all times, especially in today's American-lead world dominance. This film has absolutely everything - including an extremely sexy young Ziyi Zhang who simply is the biggest hype to come out of china since SARS.
This film was released in 2002, but this is certainly one of my all time favourites and will probably be the best film I see all year. I have never been more enthusiastic to pursue films in this genre in my life. For more action type enthusiasts who like more gore and violence check out 'Ong Bak', but for people who appreciate a fuller, visionary piece of martial arts filming, this will leave you speechless.
While i enjoyed this movie very much, i believe Hero will get the kinds of
reviews and responses that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (CTHD) did, and
still does, ie. either you liked it very much, or you couldn't see what
fuss was all about. This dichotomy of opinions makes for interesting
because it seems to cut across cultural and intellectual differences.
Everywhere the film is shown, there will a segment of the audience that
love and rave about it, and another segment that will be wondering if they
had been watching the same movie. I can't explain why this is so, but i
suspect it has a lot to do with a viewer's initial expectation of the
and then his perception and appreciation of the nuances in the telling of
the storyline.
Hero is a film that is beautiful in many aspects. The direction and photography is artsy without being pretentious. Every shot is worthy of being a work of art in itself. The language spoken is traditional mandarin, but oh, so easy to the ear, even though i couldn't understand every word. (I don't think Tony's and Maggie's voices were dubbed, but i could be mistaken). The main characters were very well acted out, especially that of the role of the Qin Emperor. Zhang Ziyi's character was largely insignificant though, so i think she's been put in to add some star power to the production. The fighting scenes are unusual by most standards, employing an interesting combination of CGI and real action. Some of the powers that the characters possess appear too amazing to be true, but remember that some of the fights only took place in the fighters' imagination. The music, though quite similar to that in CTHD, is appropriate, and sticks hauntingly to the back of your mind long after the movie is over.
I went to the cinema having heard some of the hype leading to the movie, but with no real knowledge of the storyline, and not expecting a lot. I think that helped me enjoy the movie more, because the way the story unfolded actually set me thinking and anticipating in a manner that i could not have had i known more about the storyline. The message at the end of the movie is simple, but certainly open for debate. In fairness, i don't think the director attempted to provide an answer, as to whether the decision made by the Nameless One was the correct one or not, but rather to ask questions. I'd better not give out too much here, but it certainly set me thinking about things for a little while after the show had ended. These days, any movie that can get me pondering after the credits go down has got to be pretty good.
Overall an excellent movie. I'm sure some areas could be better, but i can't think of any right now. Highly recommended.
Score: 8.5/10
After two years of hearing about the myth of the most expensive Chinese
film ever made, Hero has finally floated on to British cinema screens.
As it flies, it trails a coloured cloth that carries the film's
numerous morals and messages which descend upon you like a soft layer
of fabric. This is a film that can lift your spirits and have you
laughing out in sheer joy as you gaze in wonder at the perfection of
the mise-en-scene and cinematography. That is, if you let the film take
you on a journey, without pondering the films questionable plot points.
Hero is two sides of a tale as presented by Nameless (Jet Li), a mere Prefect who defeated three deadly assassins, and the King of Qin (Daoming Chen), the man the assassins wished to kill. Nameless weaves his heroic though modest story of how he killed the assassins, but the King remains unconvinced, spinning his own version of how he believed events unfolded.
Director Yimou Zhang takes us through Nameless' story first, spreading the battle sequences thick, allowing them to take their own time. In the King's version, certain battles are then revised, which is remarkably brave considering that some battles are utter fabrications. In one such fictitious fight, in a faultlessly designed set, Nameless and Sky (Donnie Yen) close their eyes and fight out the battle within their minds. Screen time is being spent lavishly on showing how two characters contemplated a fight, whilst fighting each other in a battle that never occurred. It is confusing certainly, but perhaps Zhang wished for his audience to get lost in the plot's design so that they would not question the warrantability of half of the battle sequences, which make up most of the film.
Yet, it is difficult to ponder these details when they are made so utterly insignificant when viewing such a spectacle. The sheer beauty of the battles, the gentle floating of the assassins as they fly around their arenas (which range from a forest full of orange leafed trees, crisp leaves falling down to the ground like rain, to the crystal clear and calm of a mountain lake), the costumes of characters at varying stages in the story line (red for passion, green for youth, white for truth, blue for love), the amazing army scenes which feature thousands of arrows being fired into the sky to create a black cloud that descends right on top of the camera, all these elements combine to produce a faultlessly perfect image on the screen, each frame a worthy photograph that gently reminds you why cinema is the greatest art form of the twentieth century.
And characterisation is not lost in this beauty as one may have feared. Despite the irritating two dimensional performance of Zhang Ziyi as Moon, the other actors carry off fine performances, especially Tony Leung Chiu Wai as Broken Sword and Daoming Chen as the King. Their performances are especially credible as they are often drowning in the memories of the King and Nameless - they need to change slight mannerisms in order to reflect whose mind they are now in.
The script too is of an impressively high standard. The moments of clarity that the warriors feel are experienced by the audience also, and there are some very informed outlooks of the emptiness of warfare, communicating that to achieve peace, sometimes war is the only option. These messages of course seem fitting in our current times, underlining how ancient some of the methods of our governing body truly are.
Hero is undoubtedly a most beautiful and awe inspiring film. What it lacks in plot substance, it makes up for with structure and script. It elaborates on the ground work created by 'Crouching Tiger' and is an experience that I would encourage you to seek out, as long as you are willing to submit to the film and let it guide you through its world on its own terms.
Rating: 4/5
It sounded like a HK Cinema fan's ultimate wet dream... Zhang Yimou to
direct a martial arts epic with Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Leung Chiu Wai,
Ziyi and Donnie Yen in the cast, Ching Siu-Tung doing the action,
Christopher Doyle the cinematography and Emil Wada the costumes. What
could you ask for? (Well, Brigitte Lin coming out of retirement and Yuen
Ping and Sammo Hung sharing the action director credits,
I guess we have CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON to thank for making the wu xia world bankable again, and generating the interest and investment required to bring a project of this stature together. There's no doubt that the US Market was a major target, and US$ went into the funding. Given this it's a tragedy that Yimou let Miramax get their paws on it and effectively ruin any chances it had of major US success
Apart from Zhang Ziyi and the Tan Dun soundtrack (a terrible choice no doubt enforced by US investors), CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON is not a good reference point by which to evaluate HERO. Much more appropriate is Wong Kar Wai's ASHES OF TIME, with which it shares two lead actors and a cinematographer. HERO is definitely more commercially oriented, but shares a beauty and philosophical richness with AOT, and a certain melancholy mood.
The story of HERO starts off quite simply, as Jet Li begins to recount his martial triumphs to the Emperor of Qin. The tale is told in flashbacks which revisit and re-evaluate the same events, elaborating on and changing the story as we learn more. It's reminiscent of Akira Kurosawa's RASHOMON, and is a great way of developing a mystery thriller. Zhang Yimou handles the building of the tale expertly, as one would expect from such a master film maker.
Zhang Yimou himself is such an accomplished cinematographer he hardly needed to hire somebody else for the job - but if there's anybody better than Yimou it's Christopher Doyle. I wonder how much conflict there was on set though, as I am sure each had very strong visions of how they wanted scenes to look. The result doesn't show any signs of it if such a conflict occured though, as the visual style seems exceptionally strong and focussed throughout. A large part of this is Yimou's use of bold colours to delineate the different sections of the story (The green, the red, the yellow, the blue, the white). With Emil Wada's stunning costumes and the great choice of locations, HERO is almost as rich in stunning imagery as ASHES OF TIME. It's a true work of art, harking back to Yimou's older films like SHANGHAI TRIAD and RAISE THE RED LANTERN - I'm really pleased to see him making such visual films again. The visuals are sometimes let down by some unconvincing CGI effects, unfortunately.
Zhang Yimou has never directed an action movie before, so people were clearly worried he wouldn't know what to do with the fight scenes that a wu xia movie needs more than anything else. It's been quite a few years since Ching Siu Tung has produced any really impressive work too, so I was rather worried - especially when I heard (from good authority) that Yimou had Ching had clashed on set. Apparently Zhang wanted more grounded, realistic kung fu, which really isn't Ching Siu Tung's thing (should have got Sammo or Yuen Wo Ping!). I guess Ching got the upper hand in the end, as the fight scenes are certainly not grounded or realistic - they're very much about the twirling and whirling and the graceful flying that Ching Siu Tung virtually defined. They're not as manic as he usually makes the action when he directs himself, though - a fact that sometimes makes the wirework look a bit awkward.
A real surprise is that the weakest fight scene of the film is that one that pits the two best martial artists together. Jet Li vs. Donnie Yen opens the film with some sword vs. spear action. There's some beautiful moments, but I felt the scene lacked impact and featured some awkward moves too. Oddly enough, the fight I enjoyed the most featured no real martial artistry at all - Maggie Cheung vs (well, you'll see) in a beautiful autumnal scene of falling leaves. I guess that's because Ching Siu Tung is really not working to his strengths when he tries to do "real" martial arts.
I had held off watching HERO for months, because as soon as I got the first released DVD (the DVD-5 from Guang Dong Face Ah) it was announced that the extended version of the film would be released in a few weeks. It's generally well known now that Zhang Yimou was persuaded to cut about 20 minutes from the film by the hatchet men at MiramAXE, who really must die first when the revolution comes. I figured the first time I see it I should see the best possible version, for maximum impact, so I was willing to wait. Well it's been 2 months now and the extended version is now indefinitely delayed due to legal issues, so I finally gave in and watched the DVD I'd had lying around for so long. Now that I've seen it I have to say I don't really see what another 20 minutes would add to the film - it seems quite complete and well paced at about 95 minutes. A little more development of Donnie Yen's character would be nice, but other than that it's hard to imagine what is missing. Longer action scenes maybe? Or perhaps just 20 minutes of Christopher Doyle's beautifully composed landscape shots, or close ups of Maggie Cheung dying.
I'm glad I waited to see the film anyway though, as it allowed all the hype and anticipation to die down. Unfortunately, when a film is as highly anticipated as this it's inevitable that there will be "backlash syndrome" as people feel let down that it wasn't the ultimate movie of all time they heard/hoped it would be (it was amusing to watch the reviews on CROUCHING TIGER swing between "incredible" and "awful" as hype waves ruined the experience for many, and I'm sure the same will happen with HERO).
Zhang Yimou is an extremely talented director in many respects, but perhaps the greatest is his ability to get incredible performances out of his cast. With such an illustrious cast on board he perhaps felt he didn't need to try as much though (or they weren't willing to listen), as the acting isn't as powerful as I had expected. It's still of a very high quality, but doesn't evoke the same strong emotions as some of the performances in ASHES OF TIME. Leung Chiu-Wai gets the top award for acting though, which will surprise few people. Zhang Ziyi only has a small part, but shows a lot of talent too - nice to see such skill in somebody that still has most of her career ahead of her. Of course, it was Zhang Yimou that discovered and nurtured her talent in THE ROAD HOME.
There are only two disappointments in HERO, for me. One is the special effects, which aren't up to the very latest standards. A little less use of CGI would have made it go a lot further (like in CTHD). The other is the soundtrack, which is really just much too similar to the Crouching Tiger soundtrack. It doesn't fit HERO as well, but it is still pretty evocative and effective - just too similar to CTHD.
I still intend to pick up the extended version of HERO when it's released, to see what Zhang Yimou's ideal vision for the film was. Even running shorter than he really wanted it's a mighty fine film though, and one I have no hesitation in recommending if anybody hasn't seen it yet. If MiramAXE ever do get round to releasing it in the US, I hope it does well.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Before I give my review, let me offer one suggestion that will help you
appreciate this film. DO NOT SEE IT JUST ONCE. Watch it twice and then
pass judgment. The film is so visually and artistically captivating
that the plot can be harder to grasp the first time around. The second
time around you'll get a better appreciation for the film.
I viewed this film with high expectations. People were comparing it with Crouching Tiger and I really enjoyed that film. Within the first 10 minutes you understand why the comparisons are made. The cinematography, editing, music and special effects are similar. The stories, however, are quite different, and I found the story to be better than the one in Crouching Tiger.
The story is about an assassin who concocts a plan to kill a king who had been trying to conquer his home land in pre-unified China. His assassination plan requires him to get close enough to the king to strike him dead. The movie shows the assassin's plan through a series of flashbacks, and culminates with the assassin getting his chance to kill the king.
The beauty of this film is the how the assassin becomes a "Hero". I won't spoil how he achieves this, but that is what made the film great for me. It made the film more than just a visual and musical masterpiece. It also made it more than just a Kung Fu picture. It actually added a decent plot to the film which made it worth while. Honestly, I was just expecting a good Kung Fu picture. Hero is actually a great overall movie which just happens to accent the film with some of the best Kung Fu action in recent years.
Definitely the best movie that I have seen this year. I hope it wins big at the awards ceremonies. It was impressive.
After two viewings, I am still not sure what to make of this film,
story-wise. I have no problems exalting praise for the cinematography
which, for many people, was the drawing point. It's what got me to
watch the movie. I had heard it was the most beautiful film ever made.
Well, I wouldn't go that far, but it IS visually spectacular. It's even
more appreciated now that I watched one of the documentaries in which I
learned to what great lengths director Yimou Zhang the crew went to, to
make this look so good. It took a lot of patience, waiting for just the
right conditions, such as the smooth, silvery lake which only was calm
two hours a day.
Overall, I didn't think the story was that appealing except for the good message at the end, about the good of all being more important than satisfying one's personal vengeance. Well, who could argue with that? As for the rest, perhaps being a Westerner unfamiliar with Eastern culture, it's harder for me to relate to the mind-set. I would be interested to know how Asians viewed this story, as opposed to similar films.
Sometimes I think these wild Crouching Tiger-like action scenes are too long and overdone, but at least in this film they were very original and, once again, more visuals feasts than anything else. On my second viewing, I discarded the subtitles and went with the dubbed version to concentrate more on the stunning look of this film. It paid off. Even if I don't quite follow everything, each scene is such eye-candy that you can't go wrong viewing this.
Two things interesting about this project. First, the sad news, at
least for the Chinese, that the Japanese have finally won. This is a
Japanese film in all important respects: the theming by lush color, the
rather modern notion of benevolent conquest (genuinely originating in
the Persians but only used since as justification for selfish empire,
specifically in this case Japanese conquest - and adopted by the
Chinese only since the war) and of course the wholesale swallowing of
Kurosawa is here obviously in the story: it is half 'Rashomon' and half 'Ran.' But more important is Kurosawa's theory of film as a device to capture space. As with Parisian impressionist painters, the thing painted is not the point. It provides an origin only; the painting is about all the magical things that happen in the space between the subject and the viewers eye. The paintings, and Kurosawa's films are about that space.
Kurosawa invented the technique of shooting from very far away with a telephoto so as to flatten space, and at the same time creating (usually three) layers of space. Often, he would engage the space directly.
This masterful film is obsessive about the point and may be the most lush swim in dimensional space you are likely to find with the technology we have. Every shot is oriented around not the action, but the space that contains the action. Falling water, dust, lots of blown fabric and hair, feathers, arrows, even book tablets and those leaves! With lots of bamboo screens, all these are used to show the space, plus the usual fantastic mountains, clouds and forests - even at the end the Great Wall and of course the moving waves of soldiers and courtiers.
Many of the architectural shots are lifted from Welles' "Othello."
The matter is not lost in the copious allusions to mental space: the game of Go, music, calligraphy, politics, and love. All these are defined, exercised and conflated with one another in terms of space and the intrigue of space with a little more effort in the latter items on the list. Then, waving lamps are used to make 'murderous intent' spatial.
Unlike 'Crouching Tiger' which this resembles not at all, the camera is static, not dancing. Where Lee emphasized the ballet of the fight by engaging his camera, Zhang stands back in the space. Where Lee conceives fights not among the participants but their masters, Zhang shows us not the fights, but the battles among the true worlds of the fights - the worlds of different colors.
What we see could be the imaged Go game, or the imaged fight within it, or the imaged story Nameless tells, or the one the King tells and on and on with nestings of imaginations.
Every nation creates their own movie to explain themselves. We in the US seem to like more militarist stuff. Except for the thuggish motive (my war for my kind of peace), we would do well to have stories about stories like this one through four layers until they reflect back on the origin. Complex story space in rich real space.
If you are going to see this, you really must see 'In the Mood for Love,' which features Broken Sword and Flying Snow in something of the same relationship they have here. It is one of the best films ever made and truly spatial in a purely Chinese manner. It will completely transform your enjoyment of this.
Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie is visually beautiful indeed, but the story is just plainly stupid. Do not agree? Read on.
We have 6 very well-educated Asian people, all know this part of famous Chinese history more or less, watching this movie together. At the end, some feel so disappointed about the story, and the others, worse, felt so disgusted by its built-in political messages.
Praise its photography as you wish, but please don't tell me this is a great movie. A beautiful movie with a terrible message can't be a great movie. It simply is NOT.
Even with my high respect for Mr. Zhang's earlier works, I can't help but feel so disappointed with this overhyped film.
Warning: Spoiler ahead (The version I watched is the original Asian release issued in 2002, which is longer than this US version.)
1. Brief historic background
In this movie, the King of Qin state use his powerful troops mercilessly to invade the six other states in early China, and eventually conquered them all to form his Qin empire.
Historically, he was the first emperor to "unite" China. In reality, he was the cold-blooded tyrant who achieved his ambition with brutal force and at the cost of numberless people's lives and blood. One chinese legend stated that his troop was ordered to kill (bury alive) 400,000 surrendered soldiers from the neighbor state "Zhao" after one battle, just to crush the morale of other resisting forces. This is just one of countless example of what he did to "unite" China.
Due to his tyranny, people hated him so much, especially those from the six other conquered states. The great empire he spent his lifetime to build only last for 15 years, one of the shortest in China's history. The empire soon turned into another chaotic battle field with all the uprising forces fighting against his heir, until another new dynasty (Han).
The most laughable part (and historically incorrect) in this movie is that, although the assassin have gone through so many years of preparation aiming to kill this brutal tyrant to save his own country and people, he was so [unbelievably] easily persuaded (or tricked) by this King to give up his life-long mission, even at the cost of his own life, and knowingly let this tyrant and his massive force finish crushing all other countries.
A graceful assassin? or an unbelievably stupid idiot? Of course the history ended with the King has his way and had all the people in China kneel before him. What a glorious story with a extremely stupid assassin.
2. The "message"? Is this really a propaganda film?
So the "message" of this movie: the best way for suffering people to end war is letting the powerful invading force finish their job, letting the brutal tyrant be the emperor, without resisting or trying to kill him, then we will all get peace and become one "united great country" ?
In short: Let the big bad guy have his way with us, and then we can all live peacefully afterward?
How intelligent and creative!!
If the message in this movie is so true, why should people fight in WW2? We should let Hitler conquer Europe and there will be no war over there after he finish all others, just a great "glorious" NAZI empire?? We should let Japanese conquer the East Asia (including China) so there will be no more fighting and killing over there either???
This is exactly why some people in Asia call this movie a piece of communist propaganda. This is a good piece of work to teach the people to let their powerful (totalitarian or not) government have its way, no matter how bad or controling it is, so that there will be "stability" and a "glorious united country".
Now you know why Zhang Yi-Mou, whose earlier works were not really appreciated by the officials in China, was suddenly so well funded and supported by Beijing in making this movie.
Am I biased? Well, I guess so. I know so much about this part of Chinese history and also the connection between this film and the Chinese government, that I just can't pretend I am [objective] to call this movie a piece of "pure art".
This movie did not do too well in Asia. I am surprised it do quite well in the US. Funny.
Praise its photography as you wish, but please don't tell me this is a great movie. A beautiful movie with a terrible message can't be a great movie. It is NOT.
Sorry Mr. Zhang, I can only give you 3 stars out of 10 this time. Even with my respect for your earlier works, I can't help but feel so disgusted this time.
3 out of 10.

|Better Business Together (OR: Calling in Favors)
A Preview of the Honor and Profit Expansion for Android: Netrunner
|Android: Netrunner The Card Game | Published 07 April 2014
"You can find anything on the New Angeles black market, if you know who to ask."
–Gabriel Santiago
Honor and Profit is coming soon. In our last two previews of this upcoming deluxe expansion for Android: Netrunner, we reviewed the secretive efforts of the expansion's new Jinteki divisions, and we met the three new Criminals who come ready to carve a profit out of Corporate servers.
Today, we turn our attention toward some of the cards and strategies that the expansion has to offer fans of the game's other factions.
Better Business Together
Honor and Profit focuses on the tricks and traps employed by the secretive Jinteki and the most talented professionals among the game's Criminal faction. However, they're not the only factions who will be able to make use of the expansion's new technologies and myriad contacts.
If you think about this logically for a moment, it makes sense. The corporations of Android: Netrunner exist to provide goods and services to customers in exchange for credits. They might compete with each other for control of specific markets and key demographics, but whenever their collaboration may result in more credits, they collaborate. Accordingly, the game comes with rules for "influence," which you can spend to incorporate out-of-faction cards into any deck.
With their influence, the game's corporations can draw upon the greatest innovations made by other corporations in order to tighten up their efficiencies and complement their core business models. Alternatively, they can use their influence to add new, surprising dimensions to their assets and defenses. Because few corporations offer subtler and more confounding tricks and traps than Jinteki, Honor and Profit is a great purchase for players looking to use their influence to add one or more layers of deception to their Corp decks.
For a mere one influence, Psychic Field (Honor and Profit, 10) is a terrific addition to any NBN or Weyland Consortium deck seeking to balance the ability to advance agendas against the ability to flatline the Runner. If it's exposed, you can potentially eliminate the Runner's hand, setting you up for Scorched Earth (Core Set, 99) on your next turn. If the Runner proceeds too cautiously, worrying that he might encounter a Psychic Field, then you can install and advance your cards. NBN and Weyland aren't famous for their shell games, but Psychic Field may help both of these Corps develop new levels of deception.
Another of the Jinteki cards in Honor and Profit is also worthy of consideration in any Weyland Consortium deck using Building a Better World (Core Set, 93). Medical Research Fundraiser (Honor and Profit, 14) is an operation that costs three credits and yields eight, or nine if you're running Building a Better World. That's a terrific return; however, the operation also delivers three credits to the Runner. If your deck is designed to protect servers with impenetrable layers of ice, you wouldn't dream of giving the Runner credits to spend to fuel icebreakers; you'd want to force the Runner to scrape together his own economy, as slowly as possible. However, if your deck is designed to aim for a quick flatline combo, then you can ignore the fact that you're helping the Runner set up his late game because you don't intend to ever let him get that far.
Haas-Bioroid can also benefit from collaborations with Jinteki. Inazuma (Honor and Profit, 16) is a three-cost code gate that does next to nothing on its own, but if you can pair it with another piece of ice, it can give the Runner fits. The deadlier that second piece of ice, the better Inazuma becomes. Of course, you need to have a piece of ice behind Inazuma in order to take advantage of the card, and that means you have to draw the combo in the right order. Then, it also means the combo becomes relatively meaningless after it's revealed. The Corp's greatest tool against the Runner is the element of surprise, and if you reveal two pieces of ice, the Runner will be able to use his knowledge of those pieces of ice to determine whether he can break Inazuma and the ice behind it, or if he should just ignore the server. With Awakening Center (Creation and Control, 21), Haas-Bioroid can find its way through this dilemma. The Corp has plenty of deadly bioroid ice at its disposal, and it can keep the Runner guessing at the nature of the ice that he might face after breaking Inazuma. Again, the Runner might just ignore the server, but that might prove the Runner's fatal error if you use that server to advance and score the agenda points you need to win the game.
Calling in Favors
Just as corporations may exchange new technologies, the runners in Android: Netrunner may refer each other to underworld contacts or provide each other with access to new codes and hardware. Naturally, Honor and Profit introduces a number of elements that may prompt game's Anarchs and Shapers to dig more deeply into the Criminals' black market.
Calling in Favors (Honor and Profit, 31) is an event that gets better with each connection resource that you bring into play. Given that many of the game's best resources are connections and that an event, Hostage (Opening Moves, 4), already exists to help you pull them out of your deck, Calling in Favors may soon find life in any faction, especially Shapers, owing to the fact they already frequently call upon the services of such strong in-faction connections as Aesop's Pawnshop (Core Set, 47) and Professional Contacts (Creation and Control, 49).
Speaking of connections, Honor and Profit introduces one that functions like a cheap Magnum Opus (Core Set, 44). Tri-maf Contact (Honor and Profit, 50) rewards you two credits for one click, just like Magnum Opus, though the connection costs three less to install. Furthermore, because Tri-maf Contact is a resource, it doesn't drain any of your precious memory units, leaving you free to focus on breakers, viruses, or other programs. On the other hand, Tri-maf Contact comes with two drawbacks. First, you can only use it once per turn. This drawback, however, can be bypassed by installing more than one copy of the card. The second drawback, though, could potentially leave you in a bit of a pinch. If your Tri-maf Contact is ever trashed, you must suffer three meat damage. This drawback might keep Tri-maf Contact out of some Shaper decks, since they have plenty of other means of generating credits; however, it's just another day at the office for those reckless Anarchs who adhere to their faction's unofficial motto, "No risk, no fun." Still, it's generally considered good form to live up to your obligations once you've contracted with the Tri-maf.
Finally, you can expect to see plenty of Runners make use of the expansion's new program, Grappling Hook (Honor and Profit, 45). For two credits and just two influence, you can install and later trash this program to break every subroutine but one on any piece of ice. Its effect partners naturally with that of e3 Feedback Implants (Trace Amount, 24), which requires another two influence per copy. Together, they form a fantastically inexpensive and wonderfully strange breaker suite capable of plowing through just about any piece of ice. Once you have them in play, you can run with relative impunity because the ice they can't break will rarely harm you. Most single-subroutine layers of ice simply end the run. They're great tools for Anarchs and Shapers looking to create an early game presence as they build toward their ultimate late game rigs, and Grappling Hook becomes even better if you add a measure of recursion to your deck. In fact, since it's a great program to recur, it may become a signature inclusion in any deck built around Exile (Creation and Control, 30).
Public Domain
Not all the best ideas in Honor and Profit are for sale from Jinteki or Criminal connections. Thirty of the expansion's cards (three copies each of ten different cards) belong to no faction. Split evenly between Corp and Runner, these cards introduce a number of tricks and traps every bit as devious as those that belong to Jinteki and the Criminals.
We've already revealed some of the Corp's new neutral options in the expansion's announcement and our look at what it offers Jinteki. Still, it's worth taking another moment to acknowledge the utility of the ambush, Plan B (Honor and Profit, 23), and a couple more of the set's neutral cards.
The successful use of any ambush demands that you manage to bait the Runner into running against it. Then, you need to be able to trigger the ambush, often by paying a number of credits. If you trigger it, you then benefit from its effects, which most often – but not always – scale with the number of times you have advanced it. Plan B is no different in these regards, but whereas the standard ambush penalizes the Runner by damaging him or trashing his programs, Plan B, instead, advances your goals. It's one of the few assets that can potentially win you the game whenever the Runner stumbles upon it, and because it's neutral, it can play equally well in a Jinteki deck that layers its traps with Project Junebug (Core Set, 69) or in a Haas-Bioroid deck that adds additional layers of intrigue and impact with Cerebral Overwriter (Creation and Control, 9).
Of course, part of selling that ambush might be convincing the Runner that you have something he needs to steal before you score it, and selling your bluff might be one of the best possible reasons to play with Fast Track (Honor and Profit, 27). In a "fast advance" deck, this operation can help you find the points you need to win the game, but the operation also works well within a Corp deck that relies more upon psychology and misdirection.
For example, imagine you caught the Runner at a point where his funds were strapped enough that you knew he could break through the ice on your remote server in a couple turns, but such an effort would drain him of all his credits. You could search for an agenda like Fetal AI (Trace Amount, 32) or NAPD Contract (Double Time, 119) and install a card into a remote server. Will your opponent run when he knows he can't afford to steal the agenda? Not likely. Beside, if the agenda you reveal requires four or five advancement to score, he'll still have one more chance to steal it… so he passes. That's when you advance the other agenda that you installed three times and score it. There are other ways to abuse the knowledge you give the Runner, and Fast Track helps you with many of them.
We Know People
We've also seen a number of the Runner's neutral cards in both the announcement and our examination of the new play style Iain Stirling (Honor and Profit, 28) permits the game's Criminals.
Oracle May (Honor and Profit, 54) is a one-cost connection with worlds of potential, and she's absolutely fantastic in a Shaper deck. This is because Shapers have both Motivation (Opening Moves, 8) and Test Run (Cyber Exodus, 47) to reveal or fix the top card of your stack. Paired with either of these, Oracle May offers an astounding return of one draw and two resources for just one click. That simply can't be beat.
Another of the connections in Honor and Profit also looks to make a big impact in fast-rig Shaper decks; Donut Taganes (Honor and Profit, 55) is a resource that raises the play cost of all operations and events by one. The massive impact of his ability is balanced by the fact that he's a double-edged sword… except when he isn't. He cuts both ways if you play events in your Runner deck, but if you're not running any events (or even if you're just running a couple), Donut only hinders the Corp. And if any faction can ignore events, it's the Shapers. Their diverse array of programs can do just about anything events could do, and Donut Taganes is likely going to encourage a number of decks that put that theory to the test.
Finally, our last look at the expansion's neutral cards is at the AI icebreaker, Overmind (Honor and Profit, 53), which functions a bit like the Core Set AI, Crypsis (Core Set, 51) insofar as both work against any form of ice and start at a base strength of zero. Furthermore, each presents a limited lifespan. Crypsis is discarded after it's used during an encounter with a piece of ice, unless the Runner discards a hosted virus counter, and while you could keep placing virus counters on Crypsis, it just isn't economically viable to spend click after click to place hosted virus counters on the AI. Overmind, on the other hand, won't go away, but its utility will. When you install Overmind, you add one hosted power counter for each unused MU. Thus, if your base MU is four, and Overmind is your first installed program, it comes into play with three power counters. Then, Overmind can gain one strength for one credit and discard a power counter to break any ice subroutine.
Like Crypsis and Atman (Creation and Control, 40) before it, Overmind is likely to spur a number of deck types that run it as a solitary icebreaker. Then, in order to gain the greatest utility from the card, players are likely to partner it with Grappling Hook and e3 Feedback Implants in order to reduce the number of subroutines it needs to break, or simply power it up by generating loads of early, inexpensive MU with cards like Q-Coherence Chip (Honor and Profit, 52), Chaos Theory (Cyber Exodus, 46), and Deep Red (Mala Tempora, 42).
Choose Your Path
Honor and Profit is coming soon. Will you choose the path of personal evolution, the path of personal profit, or another path entirely? There's plenty of technology and deception for all seven of the game's factions, so be sure to keep your eyes open for more news about this upcoming deluxe expansion!
Based on the classic card game designed by Richard Garfield, Android: Netrunner The Card Game is a game for two players set in the dystopian future of Android. It pits monolothic megacorps against subversive netrunners in a high-stakes struggle for the control of valuable data.

Gillian Leigh Anderson (born August 9, 1968) is an American actress. After beginning her career in theatre, Anderson achieved international recognition for her role as Special Agent Dana Scully on the American television series The X-Files. Her film work includes The House of Mirth (2000), The Mighty Celt (2005), The Last King of Scotland (2006), and two X-Files films, The X-Files (1998) and The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008). In 2013, Anderson was cast as Hannibal Lecter's psychotherapist, Bedelia Du Maurier, on the television series Hannibal, and in 2014, she began starring in Crisis, which was cancelled halfway through its first season on May 9, 2014, with the final episode airing June 21.
Anderson has received five Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, winning one, and five Golden Globe Awards nominations with one win.
Early life[edit]
Anderson was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Rosemary Anderson (née Lane), a computer analyst, and Homer Edward "Ed" Anderson III, who owned a film post-production company.[2][3] She has English, German, and Irish ancestry.[4] Soon after her birth, her family moved to Puerto Rico for 15 months; her family then moved to the United Kingdom where she lived until she was 11 years old. She lived for five years in Rosebery Gardens, Crouch End, north London, and for 15 months in Albany Road, Stroud Green, north London,[5] so that her father could attend the London Film School. She was a pupil of Coleridge Primary School.
When Anderson was 11 years old, her family moved again, this time to Grand Rapids, Michigan.[6] She attended Fountain Elementary and then City High-Middle School, a program for gifted students with a strong emphasis on the humanities; she graduated in 1986.[5]
Like some other actors (notably Linda Thorson) Anderson is bidialectal. With her English accent and background, Anderson was mocked and felt out of place in the American Midwest and soon adopted a Midwestern accent. To this day, her accent depends on her location — for instance, in an interview with Jay Leno she spoke in an American accent, but shifted it for an interview with Michael Parkinson.[7][8][9]
Anderson was interested in marine biology,[5] but began acting her freshman year in high school productions, and later in community theater, and served as a student intern at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre & School of Theatre Arts. She attended The Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago (formerly the Goodman School of Drama), where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1990.[10] She also participated in the National Theatre of Great Britain's summer program at Cornell University.[5]
Anderson's brother died in 2011 of a brain tumor, at the age of 30.[11][12]
Anderson moved to New York when she was 22 years old.[13] To support herself when she started her career, Anderson worked as a waitress. She began her career in Alan Ayckbourn's play, Absent Friends at the Manhattan Theatre Club alongside Brenda Blethyn; she won the 1990–91 Theatre World "Newcomer" Award for her role.[5] Her next theatrical role was in Christopher Hampton's The Philanthropist at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut.[14] Anderson moved to Los Angeles in 1992, spending a year auditioning. Although she had once vowed she would never do TV, being out of work for a year changed her mind.[15] Anderson did Home Fires Burning for a cable station, as well as the audio book version of Exit to Eden. She broke into mainstream television in 1993, with a guest appearance on the collegiate drama, Class of '96, on the fledgling Fox Network.[15]
As a result of her guest appearance in Class of 96, Anderson was sent the script for The X Files at the age of 24. She decided to audition because, "for the first time in a long time, the script involved a strong, independent, intelligent woman as a lead character." Producer Chris Carter wanted to employ her, but Fox wanted someone with previous TV exposure and greater sex appeal.[16] Fox sent in more actresses, but Carter stood by Anderson, and she was eventually cast as Special Agent Dana Scully. Anderson got the part assuming it would run for 13 episodes, the standard minimum order for American TV networks. Filmed for the first five seasons in Vancouver before moving to Los Angeles, the series would run for nine seasons, and included two films, released in 1998 and 2008. During her time on The X Files, Anderson won several awards for her portrayal of Special Agent Scully, including an Emmy Award,[17] Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild awards for "Best Actress in a Drama Series." While filming, Anderson met assistant art director Clyde Klotz,[5] whom she would eventually marry.
In 1997 Anderson worked on the independent film Chicago Cab. In 1998 she starred in the film Playing by Heart with Sean Connery, Angelina Jolie,[15] Ellen Burstyn and Anthony Edwards. Anderson also had a supporting role in the film, The Mighty with Gena Rowlands, Harry Dean Stanton, James Gandolfini and Sharon Stone.[5]
In 1999, Anderson had a supporting role in the English-language release of Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, where she voiced the character of Moro. Anderson is a fan of Miyazaki's work.[18] She also took part in Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues.[19]
In 2000, Anderson starred in the film The House of Mirth with Eric Stoltz, an adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel of the same name, where she won such awards as the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actress, also British Independent Film Award for Best Actress and Village Voice Film Poll Best Lead Performance.[15]
When The X-Files ended in 2002, she moved to London for a complete change of pace and the opportunity to return to the stage.[20][21] She performed in several stage productions and worked on various film projects.
In 2005, she appeared as Lady Dedlock in the BBC television adaptation of Charles Dickens ' novel Bleak House,[15] had a starring role in the Irish film The Mighty Celt (for which she won an IFTA award for Best International Actress) and performed in A Cock and Bull Story, a film version of the novel Tristram Shandy.[15] In 2006, Anderson was nominated for a British Academy Television Award (BAFTA) for Best Actress and won the Broadcasting Press Guild Television and Radio Award for Best Actress for her role in Bleak House.[15] Anderson also received an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie" for her performance as Lady Dedlock. She was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award and Golden Globe for her performance in Bleak House and came in second place in the Best Actress category of the 2005 BBC Drama website poll for her performance as Lady Dedlock (Billie Piper came in first and Anna Maxwell Martin came in third).[15]
During 2006 and 2007, Anderson appeared in two British films: The Last King of Scotland with James McAvoy[15][22] (2006) and Straightheads with Danny Dyer (2007).[23] Anderson hosted Masterpiece Theatre during the Jane Austen series.[24] From December 2007 to March 11, 2008, Anderson filmed The X-Files: I Want to Believe.[25] Anderson portrayed Nora in Ibsen's A Doll's House at the Donmar Warehouse in London's West End during a limited engagement which ran from May 14, 2009 until July 18, 2009.[26][27] Anderson had a nomination for Best Actress in the Lawrence Olivier Awards 2010, for productions which opened in the 2009 calendar year for her portrayal of Nora.[28] In April 2011 she starred in the BBC adaptation The Crimson Petal and the White as Mrs. Castaway.
Anderson appears as the head of MI7 Pamela Thornton in Johnny English Reborn, which opened internationally in Australia on September 15, 2011,[29] and to some acclaim as Miss Havisham in a three-part BBC adaptation of Great Expectations that aired in late December 2011.[30][31][32] In May 2013, Anderson appeared in the lead role in The Fall, a drama serial for BBC Two and RTÉ ONE.[33] She currently plays as a main character in Hannibal, portraying Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier. In 2014, Anderson was promoted from a recurring character during the first two seasons, to a series regular for the third season.
In July 2014, Anderson gained critical acclaim for her performance as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams at the Young Vic Theatre in London.[34] The production became the fastest-selling show in the theatre's history and the run was extended by two weeks due to the demand for tickets.[35] In the first collaboration between the Young Vic Theatre and National Theatre Live, the show was broadcast live to over 1100 venues on 16 September 2014.[36]
Personal life[edit]
Anderson married her first husband, Clyde Klotz, The X-Files series assistant art director, on New Year's Day, 1994, in Hawaii in a Buddhist ceremony. They had a daughter, Piper Maru (born September 1994), for whom Chris Carter named the X-Files episode of the same name, and divorced in 1997.[37] In December 2004, Anderson married Julian Ozanne, a documentary filmmaker, on Lamu Island, off the coast of Kenya. Anderson announced their separation on April 21, 2006.[38] Anderson and former boyfriend, Mark Griffiths, have two sons: Oscar, born November 2006[39] and Felix, born October 2008.[40] She ended their relationship in 2012.[41] In March 2012, Anderson told Out magazine about her past relationship with a girl while in high school.[42]
Celebrity ratings[edit]
In 1996, Anderson was voted the "Sexiest Woman in the World" for FHM 's 100 Sexiest Women poll.[43] In 1997, she was chosen by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World.[44] Askmen listed her at No. 6 on their Top 7: '90s Sex Symbols.[45] In 2008, she was listed 21st in FHM's All Time 100 Sexiest Hall of Fame.[46]
Activism and charity work[edit]
Anderson is an honorary spokesperson for the Neurofibromatosis Network.[47] Her brother Aaron died from the disease and was diagnosed when Gillian was just a teenager. She also supports Children with Tumours,[48] a new UK group devoted to helping children with NF.[49] She is also a member of the board of directors for Artists for a New South Africa and a campaigner for ACTSA: Action for Southern Africa. Anderson is an active member of PETA, and supports animal rights.[50] She also supports tribal rights charity Survival International leading to her performance in a London stage fundraiser in early 2010.[51]
In late 2010, Anderson and other celebrities joined a campaign to boycott Botswana diamonds over the government's treatment of the Kalahari San.[52] In February 2011, Anderson narrated a short film about recent footage of an uncontacted tribe.[53] The Amazon Indians were spotted from the air on the Brazil-Peru border. Anderson has said, "What comes across powerfully from this amazing footage is how healthy and confident these people appear. I hope they can be left alone – but that will only happen if the loggers are stopped."[54] In June 2011, Anderson became an ambassador for Survival.[55] Anderson has also been active in the LGBT community, particularly with youth.[56] In 2013, Anderson also joined the Fishlove campaign, urging to fight unsustainable fishing practices that harm the marine ecosystem.[57]
For International Women's Day 2014, Anderson is one of the artist signatories of Amnesty International's letter to UK Prime Minister David Cameron campaigning for women's rights in Afghanistan.[58]

They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Partners Premiere Review: Grade It!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Partners centers around two lifelong best friends, one of whom is straight and the other gay.
A decade ago, this progressive concept may have been enough to base a sitcom around. But times have changed.
Gay characters abound on television, society itself has come along way and I, at least, need a lot more for my entertainment value than the very tired concept of a self-centered, over-the-top gay man bouncing his zaniness of a straight target.
That's really all the premiere delivered, playing up the differences between David Krumholtz's Joe and Michael Urie's Louis in uninventive, one-dimensional ways.
Nothing felt fresh about Partners. Of course Wyatt is a gay nurse. Of course Louis wishes he could be a Jewish doctor. Of course there were numerous jokes about sex and penises, with many ridiculously forced (heart-on? Really?!?).
The sitcom is mostly harmless and doesn't cater to the lowest, most obvious denominator like some of its CBS brethren (2 Broke Girls, Two and a Half Men). But it's not imaginative or unique, either. Not only do I feel like I've seen Joe and Louis' relationship before, I feel like I've seen it between Will and Jack on creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick' previous series, Will & Grace.
Partners said it best itself early on, when Joe and Louis' secretary mocked the latter with what could easily be the show's tagline: Gay, gay, gay. Joke, joke, joke. That's really all you need to know.
What did everyone else think? Grade the premiere now:

Stereotyping it drives me nuts.We get a lot of jlanruoists who just aren't interested in anything other than confirming their preconceived ideas with some evidence' even when the evidence doesn't exist or contradicts what they want to say. Five years after the fact, there are still articles claiming that the number of egg and sperm donors dropped through the floor when the law on anonymity was changed. It didn't the numbers actually went up. If they'd bothered to check the publicly available stats on the HFEA website they'd know this is a non-story but no, bad news is so much more entertaining.Then, and I hate to say it, there are the articles in women's mags who want a very specific story about a grieving infertile couple given hope by a donor and how they had suffered for so long but look there was a happy ending. I know this is what they DO and it's also the kind of story that helps recruit donors, but y'know, it's not the whole picture.
This pilot was frustatingly similar to the pilot of Will & Grace - two best friends, one gets engaged, the other disapproves, they get in a fight, then reconcile... Hopefully they won't re-use every gay joke that ever appeared on W&G
I have loved David Krumholtz since his days on "Numbers" and was hoping for a comedy series I could finally watch. While I enjoyed Joe and Ali, the gay couple lacked any semblence of subtlety. Louis relied on every gay stereotype (and not in a fun way like Sean Hayes in "Will & Grace") and there didn't appear to be any chemistry between him and his dull nurse/partner. I would guess that this show will have a short run, but since Jon Cryer won an Emmy for a terrible season of "2 1/2 Men" I realize that a poorly written show does not guarantee that it will fail.
Loved it. Except they should have made Brandon Routh's character more butch. He's acting as a slightly slow witted gay nurse comes off very awkward and stupid.
I'll watch anything with Sophia Bush and Michael Urie. Amazing chemistry with those two.
I also loved the boy who played Loius/ Lewis's younger character. So funny!!!!
I liked it I thought it was cute. I hope it stays. But I do hope Brandon Routh acting improves it was terrible least night. I don't know if that's him or his character either way I hope it gets better
I really liked it. I hope they hammer out the too much like "will & grace " kinks!
I don't think this show will last long
While not very original, I found this show cute. I do think it a little like Will & Grace but that not bad thing, but however I think the jokes were safe. It could be like Cougar Town which attempted for normalcy but went to the zany which is how Bill Lawrence likes it. Overall I do love the cast.
It surpassed my expectations. And the cast had more chemistry than I would've guessed from the previews. But yes, the 'Heart On' thing was incredibly forced, and I'm almost certain I've heard that joke before!

The ceramic and metal waste forms cannot be fully evaluated at the present time because acceptance criteria have not yet been established. The committee previously recommended that "DOE should establish acceptance criteria for waste forms scheduled for storage in a geologic repository. "4 Similarly, the uranium product cannot yet be fully evaluated, because its ultimate disposition has not been decided. The committee believes that the overall goal of the demonstration is to show that the electrometallurgical process can be made to work at scale in a reasonable fashion; the goal at this stage is not to show that the waste forms will be satisfactory for geological disposal.
The committee finds that the criteria established by DOE are reasonable for judging the success of the EBR-II spent fuel treatment demonstration.
Confirmation that the waste forms produced by EMT are acceptable within the DOE's Office of Radioactive Waste (DOE-RW) Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) program for final geological disposal must be a key component in a full qualification of the EMT process.
If DOE concludes that the EMT process is unsuitable for processing the remainder of the EBR-II fuel, then the PUREX process could be evaluated for its applicability to treatment of EBR-II spent fuel. However, a significant issue for treating EBR-II fuel at SRS by PUREX relates to public concerns about the transportation of the fuel from the current storage site at ANL-W to SRS.
In recognition of the progress that ANL has made in the demonstration and in accord with the committee's previous recommendations, the committee recommends to DOE that ANL's demonstration project be carried to completion.

C's continue streaky ways
Saturday, November 16, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge was a No. 2 overall pick in the NBA draft and is a two-time All-Star who has averaged more than 21 points per game in each of the last four seasons.
Mo Williams scored 18 with eight assists for Portland, Damian Lillard had 17 and Robin Lopez had 10 rebounds.
"Every team has a margin for error and not many teams have a big one," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "We can't take plays off; it's not going to work out well for us on either end of the floor. Those guys are going to make you pay if you relax. And they did."
