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

(I think this trailer might not have any vfx done for it really yet, meant to be a better one out soon).

I've got both of those TF eps recorded and burnt to DVD. It really was an enjoyable show. What happened with that case anyway? Is he serving jail time?

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)

I'll have to remember to not risk using any links to articles on the Australian.

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.

* 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.
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.

I like watching Game of thrones ( I read the books first ) and the Flash/Arrow (hoping for 2nd Season of Flash)

[Sinnertwin]

i'm watching Elementary right now. not bad at all.

I'm really enjoying that series as well as Forever which is just Elementary with the Sherlock character being immortal

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


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.
