Shock at the end of The Flash:eek:
Stupid mid season finale making me wait for the next episide:mad:
Watching The Strain ATM. Yeah, I know... it came out and finished a few months back. Don't know why I didn't watch it when it first came out :confused: The benefit - I can watch episodes back-to-back without any wait time :cool:
Still picking my jaw off the floor about that one :eek:Quote:

Was up till 5am last night finishing off the final season of sons of anarchy. Boy was it good. Getting up though for work sucked :D
Been meaning to watch Sons of Anarchy, just haven't found the time. I have all of the first season. Maybe with all other shows going on break over Xmas, I might finally be able to sit down and watch some eps.
I never thought Sons of Anarchy would be a show I'd like, but between August last year and this week I watched all seven seasons. Those SAMCRO guys and their anti-hero stuff got me hooked and it's a show that does surprising and violent well.
Been catching up on Danger 5 over the break and it is awesome!
To quote one of the YouTube comments -

How did I not know this existed? It's like Thunderbirds, a bunch of 60s men's "sweat" magazine covers, Ultraman and every bad Italian James Bond knock-off you've ever seen took PCP and ecstasy, had an orgy, and somehow produced a very strange baby"
I'm so happy you linked this. I love it!Quote:

And season 2 starts tomorrow night 9:30pm SBS2.
I've been reading the original Sherlock Holmes books. Its interesting how the two SHerlock Holmes shows (UK & US) line up with them. For instance the cocaine habit that is in the American show is very prominent in the original books though not particularly frowned upon. They have just started reshowing the UK show on ABC and a lot of the first episode mirrors the original book, but instead of deducing that Watson was an injured medical soldier from an old war with a drunken brother that passed onto him a pocket watch, its now an injured medical soldier from the Afghanistan war with a drunken brother that passed onto him an old mobile phone.
How is it that I completely missed American Horror Story 4 years ago :confused: I just finished watching season 1 with the wife and it's awesome :cool:
It goes from 'horror' to weird and just strange i.e. song and dance numbers in Asylum and Freak Show. Still good fun though.
Season two is even better.;)Quote:

MVF is the one which has Adam finding food challenges and oversized foods... so there are quite a few jaw-dropping dishes over the 85 episodes.
For something a little more constructive though, QI is back on nightly in January on ABC at 8pm (Mon-Fri). It is the later seasons, and well worth checking out (or taping to watch later), as it is a quiz show with comedians, of general knowledge and myths... often with some adult humour, so not for the kiddies.
That show is too freaky for my liking. My wife enjoys it though.Quote:

I've only started to watch 'The Checkout' as well. Brilliant. Quirky and funny & great ABC cast. FU-Tube is a great segment.
Finally finished watching 2006/7 Saiyuuki --- mild spoiler warning ---

At the end of the last episode, Sanzouhoushi (Tripitaka), Son Gokuu (Monkey), Sa Gojou (Sandy) and Cho Hakkai (Pigsy) escape from the baddies. Weary and beaten, they see a man sitting with his back facing towards them drinking from a big bottle of water. Gokuu begs him to give them a drink, but he ignores their pleas and continues drinking. Gokuu rushes at him, but the old man lifts the bottle causing Gokuu to trip over and fall. As Gokuu looks up, the old man is laughing at him, but the audience sees that the old man is played by Sakai Masaaki, who of course played the original Son Gokuu/Monkey from the 1978-80 "Monkey" TV series! :D The old man then picks up Nyoibou (Gokuu's staff) and starts spinning it around just as he did in the old show, and the original "Monkey Magic" theme song starts playing in the background! :D It is then revealed that the old man is actually Buddha himself, who gives them the Sacred Scrolls (the object of their long quest), and also liberates Gokuu by removing the golden ring from his head, and even remarking, "This thing really hurts, doesn't it?" :cool:
That's gotta be one of the best TV cameos evah! :)
Click here to watch the cameo scene!
Lol - it's what we all wish for :p;)Quote:

I hope a TF collector appears on one of the episodes.
Well she is married to me lolQuote:

Some years I would check the wiki site for any episodes that were in a location I was going to be in for BotCon... never ended up going to any though.Quote:

Banshee episode 3. That was the craziest fight scene I have ever seen :eek:
My first thought on seeing the title was hobos dumpster diving.:DQuote:

Really enjoying season 2 of Sleepy Hollow. The overall plot is getting interesting, coupled with Ichabod trying to assimilate to todays culture for comedic relief is a very entertaining combination. Last night I watched episode 5, Detective Mills was explaining what a lovers lane was to which he replied "Yes we had them back in our day. A pathway where a man could walk with his betrothed holding hands... with their parents not too far behind to make sure nothing unreasonable occurred" :D
I watched the first two episodes that screened on the 27th, and it is interesting to see what some people obsessively collect... but the show doesn't do much delving into the collection or talking about more than a couple items (if that) like the Toy Hunter show does (one of the redeeming features of TH was the education we'd get of a number of items each episode).Quote:

Then when collections are actually featured, we get a bit about how and why they got into collecting (which is one good thing, like the old ABS Collectors show, which focused on the Collectors rather than Collections). But after their life story was told, the focus was on a quick evaluation. Sure, the show premise is to find and evaluate big collections, but the values noted at the end of a segment are meaningless if they don't even show much of the actual collection.
The Harry Houdini collection was probably the most thorough one we saw, but they still rushed over much of it, so it's final evaluation of over a million dollars is meaningless, because we didn't see much of what constitutes a million dollar collection.
The least thorough was the toy collection that featured in the second episode. A guy in Dallas Texas had a house of (allegedly) 5,000 different action figure toys, which included a lot of Transformers from the original series to recent Masterpiece toys, but the TV show focused on his Captain America comic... giving us a quick pan of some toy shelves before spending the rest of the 5-ish minutes on this one comic (which isn't even a toy, despite him being there to valuate a toy collection). :rolleyes:
The shot of the Transformers toys, which looked to cover three walls of shelves, was so fast, I had to pause and go frame by frame to see what he had. In live speed, it was less than half a second. Seriously.
Such a waste.
A segment and collector hyped up as being about toys, to spend 90% of the time on a single comic issue... that ended up being a restored comic, so had reduced value anyway. (still worth $75,000 but could have been a quarter million if un-restored)
Not as good as I was hoping the show would be, but I'll still try to keep watching it out of curiosity of what other types of things people obsessively collect out there.
Just finished season 2 of American Horror Story. Better than the first :cool: Absolutely brilliant!
Watched the double episode of Extreme Collectors yesterday evening. The collections are the only shining light for this show. The rest is filled with valuations. Don't think I can sit through a whole season.
A bit too on the dark side for me personally, but I can see why people are drawn to it.Quote:

The first episode was in Las Vegas and included a guy who had over a thousand sports hats, as well as a guy who as a couple hundred vintage Barbie dolls and sleeps in a hot pink room that looked like something from a Barbie house. (in the various promos leading up to the segment I thought it was a middle-aged lady, but when he spoke in the segment it was actually a guy :o )
Then there was a Pepsi collector, who had anything with the Pepsi name on it... but I couldn't see if they had any of the Pepsi Optimus/Convoy toys among all the vintage mid 20th century items. :p
And the fourth collection was a 10 Million dollar collection of Vegas show costumes and accessories since the 1950s... something that should be a featured museum at one of the casinos.
The second episode was in Toronto and had an action figure collector of a couple thousand toys, but only looked like he collected humanoid action figures, as I didn't see any Transformers. But seeing what is claimed to be the worlds first Action Figure (a wooden superman from the 1930s) was fascinating.
The next person had a collection of 50s diners items, models and a complete diner setup in one of their rooms.
The third person collected a couple thousand mouth organs/harmonicas, with what you'd call an international history of the musical instrument.
The fourth collection was Barbie Dolls.... and all of the lead up pro
Most of the more "extreme" collections that are basically an archive or a history of a brand or concept, should be made viewable by the public - not just to make a little money back off the expense, but to give other fans and visiting tourists something to look at. Some wouldn't be able to warrant a sole public museum, but could still be significant enough to spend some time on display at a state art gallery or museum. (something I'd like to do one day with my collection)
The problem with public viewing is that alot of people don't respect your collection at all and with kids around as well :rolleyes:.... I just love that 50s garage with all the cars and vintage sign and a whole diner beautifully restored ,i was surprised at the valuation as i was expecting it to cost heaps more .
I just stumble onto the new 12 monkey tv series ... it getting quite interesting ... love the time travel element and there alot of that happening:cool: ! Also blacksail is back along with arrow and flash ...
Well you wouldn't allow people to be able to touch things, or else stuff goes missing or gets damaged. Keep everything behind glass or roped off with enough distance and monitoring to prevent people from getting their grubby little fingers on it.Quote:

OMG, OMG, OMG.... Walking dead starts again today!!!! :D:D:D:D
Yasssss! Was not expecting that at all! Especially on the mid-season premiere.:eek:Quote:
