I think he was a good villian, although is monster design was so-so for me. I would've liked for him to be a trilogy villian. Having one episode to be completely human, second turned into afreak, then third still a monster. Adam Bladwin did a great job as his human vefrsion, and Clancy Brown was GREAT as his monster voice. I would definatly like to see this guy, more. He could've been worke dinto a nice 'Two-Face'-esque villian.

Yeah, he was a good villian. Terry's Two Face. Too bad we'll never get to see any more of him.

I thought he was great as well... a tangible reminder of the past life Terry's trying to attone for. His monster design is a wee bit too Toxic Avenger, but I've been pretty happy with his portrayal so far.

He was a great villain. And one of the best thing's is Terry's response to him in Betrayl. He lets him drop into the river. That creeped me out! Watching Terry becoming cold and bitter like Bruce. ooh......

Big Time. Another link between Bruce and Terry's generations that they could have shared. But unfortunately not huh? I was really glad about how Charlie's two episodes turned out. But DG's got a great idea too, having one whole episode for Charlie as human, before the monstor in him came out in full.

You've all said what I wanted to say. Charlie Biggs wasn't as noble as Harvey Dent, but there were similarities, and both Batmen were responsible (indirectly) for turning them into twisted monsters. I rather wish Bruce had mentioned Dent to Terry, though, with the caveat that "You can't save them all...especially from themselves." He might have also referenced Matt Hagan, who Batman extended a helping hand to, just as Terry did Big Time...with the same "frig you" response. Big Time proved that some folks are just irredeemable by nature. Also nice to get a little backstory on "Tiny Terry".

BTW, recalling the Major's speech to the big lug--did anyone else think he was one sexist s.o.b.?

Hmmm. Why would you want another character to be like a villian that already exists? I believe the person who voiced Charlie was Stephen Baldwin (from Bio Dome). Is there even a Baldwin brother named Adam?

I don't think it would work if they spread the story over 3 episodes. He needs to be fresh out of prison when the whole transformation occurs.

Betrayal was as successful as BigTime, mainly because Major was practically a carbon copy of Richie Armacost. I disliked this sequal, and I'd hate to see what the third instalment would be like. I think his death was a fitting end to the story.

There Adam, Alec, Billy and Stephen. I guess I got my Baldwins mixed. BUT, I do know Clancy Brown did a helluva job as the "monster" version of BIG TIME. I just think we needed a bit more time with the creature. Maybe if the transformation happened at then end of one episode, then have his revenge plot happen in a different episode. That would've been good, perhaps.

Do we know for sure that he died there? I mean, i know we'll never see in a future episode, but isn't there always the possibility that he survived?

That would be really weak if he survived.

Sorry guy. The Baldwin brothers are named: Alec, William, Daniel, and Stephen. Where did you get Adam from?

I thought it was Alec, Billy, Daniel, Stephen, Larry, Shaggy, Sleepy, Pinky, Gummo, Gimli, Aloyisius and the Infrastible Gronk.

Yeah, but you forgot the other eight of them:) Just kidding. But, man, i don't know how anyone could keep all of them straight.

i liked him, and i really liked his episodes. he had a good character, cool origin, great link to the hero, and had motives for what he did. yeah, he was cool. the only think i didnt care for was his character design. They could have done so much better.

--is called acromegaly (an adult body growing to odd proportions due to pituitary malfunction). I've seen pictures of people who suffer the condition, and the writers captured it fairly nicely. He spoke well, I thought, albeit in a deep strained voice, due to the thickening of his vocal cords. I mean, he didn't talk like Bizarro--he used proper grammar, and he exhibited a canny intelligence. He was a pitiable villian because for all his brains, he was just a ten-foot-tall child, full of infantile, ill-concieved schemes. A mutant Peter Pan, if you will.

it still made him very annoying and useless.

Let me clarify something. I only liked Big Time before he turned into the mutant. I thought he was an awesome character that came back from Terry's past. Because the writers finally explained something in Terr'y past.

I really liked him before the change, too. Would have preferred him to stay a non-freak, but instead as a friend (kind of like Melanie) with a tendency to get Terry into trouble.

The Baldwin brothers are Alec, Daniel, Billy and Stephen. Adam Baldwin is not related to the others. In fact, I remember hearing him say he that resents that people think he's a member of the Baldwin family, which I guess I can understand.

ROTFLMAO!

But seriously, I think Stephen Baldwin did a bang-up job as Bigelow. That's one reason, in fact, I was so disappointed when they made him a mutant and changed the voice. Baldwin gave him a marvelous air of shabby but soft-spoken machismo that I hated to see disappear.
