Another week, another episode of The Flash to get me pumped. Loved Mark Hamills little Easter egg.:D
Thunderbirds are Go looks great and captures the vibe of the original perfectly. The new ships are perfect with a slight update. Toys are apparently coming as well.
I normally avoid watching South Park, but I was crossing past the channel on the way to something else last night and something caught my attention that had me watching the rest - it was an episode about trying to stop Disney from taking over Star Wars and ruining it. The funny thing was seeing the Star Wars vehicles being used by Mickey Mouse, and having the Ties and AT-TEs patrolling the Disneyland park... as if they were real. It was funny because sometimes the Disney corporation feels like the galactic empire, taking over everything (Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars)... it won't be long before they control the world and need a clone army to run things. :p
Loving River monsters, new season starting this week!!
Spent a good chunk of my weekend watching Daredevil on Netflix. It was great. Was a bit unsure going in but they pulled off a really good Daredevil story and I'd say the most satisfying TV adaptation of a comic book ever. A top quality production in all areas, that makes Agent of Shield look bland and childish in comparison.
Really looking forward to Aka Jessica Jones (adapted from the comic book Alias that I thought was great) later this year
You know, I've tried to not be so cynical about TV shows, so I was kinda excited to give the new "The Odd Couple" show a a chance. It was an immensely popular show way back in the day and they have remade it with Matthew Perry from Friends and whatshisname from Reno 911 - both actors I have found decently amusing in the past.
But sadly we have got yet another completely predictable sitcom :(. The scenarios are tired and cliched, the characters are completely one-dimensional and when they act out-of-character it comes across as staged rather than genuine character growth. Every episode has proved predictable from the first rehashed one-liner :rolleyes:
Haven't been this disappointed with a sitcom since Shatner's Sh*t my Dad Says. Not that these are the worst sitcoms on TV - just they are ones I thought had the potential to be good yet turned into yet more ongoing crapfests :rolleyes:

Superhero fight club. A brilliant ad done by the CW for the finales of Arrow and The Flash
That Collectors show from the ABC is having re-runs at about 5am, from the 2011 season.
It's a shame that one of the earlier hosts ended up being in the media spotlight for his arrest over child porn in 2010, as it may mean that we'll never see any of those earlier seasons again, which included two Transformers collections. :(
(the show itself pretty much died after that too because of him)
Can't wait for this (Dark Matter) show to start. It was an awesome comic and I've followed the writer for a very long time. Since he worked on stargate :D
(I think this trailer might not have any vfx done for it really yet, meant to be a better one out soon).
Ooops, that link I included tells me that it is only viewable to subscribers... yet I got it from a google search and was able to view it. (so much for their subscription service if google can get around it for free) :rolleyes:
I'll have to remember to not risk using any links to articles on the Australian. :o
Here's one that should work.
From that link...
June 2010 - Arrested (within 2 hours of dowloading files that were part of a sting operation - and found to have downloaded over 12,400 illegal images in the previous 16 months, keeping 900 of the images on his computer*)
Feb 2011 - Pleaded not-guilty to first Magistrate hearing
Aug 2011 - Second Magistrate hearing
Mar 2012 - Pleaded not-guilty to third Magistrate hearing
Jul 2012 - Changes plea to Guilty and remanded to prison until sentencing (finally convinced that he couldn't win if he fought the charge)
Oct 2012 - Sentenced to 10 months, with a minimum term of 5 months due to time already served. Plus $5000 bond for 3-year good behaviour period.
Feb 2013 - Out after 4 months, meeting certain conditions.
That took almost 3 years... such a speedy and efficient justice system we have in Australia. :rolleyes:
* The article on the Australian website actually goes into more detail here, suggesting that he was pleading not-guilty, because he was claiming that they weren't downloaded for any erotic/sexual/perverted reasons, and had psychological reports to "prove" it. It also claims that it only started out from searching the internet for unusual things for his weekly radio show in the previous year, but then when he started coming across weird sexual stories and images, his curiosity led him to file-sharing sites and downloading thousands of all sorts of porn, which included the fetish and illegal stuff.
But the point is that no matter how he came across the illegal stuff, or even how much he didn't keep after he got the images, he still kept 876 illegal images, which is 876 too many in the eyes of the Law. :mad:
And the Law on that doesn't take into account what the motivation is, or if there was a lack of any perverted motivation.
At least he saw the futility in trying to fight the charge, because no matter what evidence he had or justification, he was guilty of that particular Law.... a Law that is written so that there is NO grey area for perverts to exploit it.
Oops, I didn't realise it until after posting that, that this is a TV show topic... sorry about the divergence, and mature content. :o
I like watching Game of thrones ( I read the books first ) and the Flash/Arrow (hoping for 2nd Season of Flash)
i'm watching Elementary right now. not bad at all.
Well I watched Charlie Pickerings new show - "The Weekly"
I quite like Charlie - plus he is a TF fan! I used to have a mate that worked at the ABC canteen who filled me in on him, so one day when JJJ was broadcasting at the Melbourne Town Hall I took along my G1 Ultra Magnus and Megatron and he came down off stage to check them out during a song break - he was pretty enamoured with them :D
Sadly I cant say I was a massive fan of his first episode. It felt like a poor copy of MCCallefs Mad as Hell (which I loved!!!). Hopefully it will get better.
Same sentiment about the Charlie's show as Trev's.
Just finishing up season 1 of Peaky Blinders. Quite a good show.
Damn, next Flash synopsis: Trapping Eobard.
Started Breaking Bad Season 5 as well. It just keeps getting better.
Man Im loving American Ninja Warrior on sbs2, so much fun coming home each day after work and watching it!
Up to episode 10 of Daredevil. Man, this show just gets better and better :cool:
Damn, just watched Game of Thrones Season 5 latest episode : Spoilers
Why did the kill Barristan, he didn't die in the books!!! :(
I've been trying to watch Criminal Minds. The show is interesting but I have such a hard time getting past the fact that Agent Rossi is Fat Tony from The Simpsons:o
there is a trailer for supergirl and limitless both look cool
Game of Thrones, Grimm, Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy
And my fav "If you are the one" :D
Has anyone seen the Supergirl pilot yet? I was going to watch it but I have been swayed by some friends reviews. They generally described as "Ugly Betty meets Superman" and it's overly pro feminism.
I just watched the trailer. Not bad, but I think they went the wrong direction. Powergirl is WAY more interesting than Supergirl! Supergirl is basically a less powerful version of Superman with a bunch of emotional baggage, whereas Powergirl is Supermans cousin from an alternate dimension (their version of Supergirl) and more grown up and powerful! I've got a fair few Powergirl comics - the Supergirl comics bored me.

I know who I would tune in to watch with extreme interest every week ;)
Been catching Vikings on Netflix. Most of the way through the 1st season and not sure I'll finish it. Trying a little too hard to be Game of Thrones but lacks tension and intrigue. Just not really caring about the characters or situations.
On the other hand, the last episode of season one of The Flash was epic!!! Really got good toward the end of the first series, they really hit their straps. Can't wait for season 2, although not sure how they will rachet up the tension without... someone I won't name to avoid spoilers.;)
