It's a bit like, what if He-Man was real, but from an animated universe, and had a family with a human female... and then how would those two "worlds" interact.Quote:

Anybody watching the first season of Luke Cage that came out over the weekend?
Entertaining, although falls a little short of the standard set by Daredevil I feel. Marvel's doing well with the Netflix series, if only they could write some decent villains other than those in Spiderman. :D
A repeat of the Toy Hunter tv show is on Channel 99, at 11.30pm on Wednesday. Not sure if it is just a space-filler episode, or a regular timeslot.
There ended up being 3 seasons of that show, of 41 episodes, and I think only season 1 ended up showing here on free-to-air.
There's also a William Shatner Roast on Thursday at 9.30pm on channel 9... which could be amusing... and most likely tasteless, but I've seen a fair bit of his works, so might find it funny when it gets referenced or roasted.
I was actually surprised that he is 85 years old. I was watching that "Better late than never" show last week, with four old "famous" people from TV and sport, travelling the globe, with the first episode being Tokyo... and one of them mentioned that he was 85. He certainly doesn't look 85, but I looked it up, and sure enough, he was born in 1931. (which I guess makes sense, as he was obviously in his 30s during the original Star Trek, and that was 50 years ago now)
This week (on Thursday at 8.30pm) they travel to Hong Kong, which is another location I'm familiar with, so it should be just as interesting, and amusing.
Bit late to the party but another set of thumbs up for Stranger Things, it's like Stephen King and Speilberg had an 80's orgy... ok that sounds wrong but those who have seen it will get what I'm on about
LOL! 10 points for that joke!Quote:

It did have some good moments, like when there are impostor Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy characters, and the person playing Tripiktaka is a sexy girl. A good joke, since Tripitaka is supposed to be a boy, but is usually acted by a girl.
Watched the first episode of Westworld and gots ta admit that I really enjoyed it. They definitely managed to build anticipation for where the story is going
I had not even heard about this show until I read an article on SMH about how degrading it was towards women. I decided to give it a try and not judge before watching and I am glad I did. I really enjoyed it when you look at it as a show about human nature and not about objectifying women (I found the article to take a very narrow interpretation of the show upon reflection).Quote:

It's a western and ladies rarely get the good end of the stick in them generally, but there is nothing in there that I saw that makes it any worse than any number of shows.Quote:

All of the Digital channels are doing that, and it really annoys me... as if it will attract attention like a "new" sticker on a food item at the grocery store.Quote:
