bradygirl_12Just a note to say I'm going to be delayed in watching and reviewing Absolute Justice and Warrior. I swear, the fandom gods have it in for me! Absolute Justice got messed up in my sister's VCR and the generous ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fictionalknight is sending me a back-up tape, and I can't get this week's Warrior tape until Tuesday because BunnyGirl is away on the long weekend. So I am carefully avoiding all spoilers and hoping I get to see the episodes soon! And you'll get my opinions then! Not that I expect that people are breathlessly awaiting them, but it doesn't hurt to be polite and let people know, eh? :)

Date: 2010-02-15 06:33 pm (UTC)The latter especially, and in a way, I can understand it -- they had Wayne Gretzky there lighting the cauldron at the end of the torch relay, and oh, sure, he's one of the greatest Canadian athletes *ever*, but there's at least two men from Québec who have won multiple Olympic medals (winter Olympic medals!) - one of whom won four in the same games - who might have been considered instead. Actually, of the 5 last people to carry the torch, two of them - Gretzky and Nash - have never won an Olympic medal as a participating athlete. Why favor them?
...but I don't want to start a debate, I'm just sayin'.
(ETA: because I looked for it before and couldn't find the statistics, and then did after I posted. lol! --> In the last 30 years alone, Québec athletes have brought home 41 of the 87 medals Canada has won at the Games. --> I dunno about you, but I would think this might have earned at least one of them a spot in the "final five.")

Also the greatest hockey player evah! ;)
