A bloke scratching his head looking at his car's engine.

The loud BANG! and the highly dented bonnet should give him a clue.

That and the clouds of steam and dripping oil.

Yer haha.

The trouble is I watched the wrong episode for season 2 opener due to my movie apps getting it wrong and it was 32 years in future and that was very strange.

Ha, I like how you call it normal. I watched it as it was on so I can't remember everything. I may give it a watch tonight. It is one show you need to avoid spoilers for.

Moonbase 8. American "comedy" that I think is trying to do a Red Dwarf, but so far it's failing miserably.

The Good Place, en masse. I missed the first episodes but caught up in just a few episodes. well written, well acted, and quite enjoyable.

I'm still waiting for 4music to screen ep20 (finale) of Supernatural after they showed ep21.

Currently watching "The Hairy Bikers" Food tour of Britain. Food Network. Nothing on the main channels for the rest of the day so this evening it'll be the last Star Wars Movie: IX The rise of Skywalker. Then some pop videos.

We've been through the whole genre this holiday so dire has been the MSM offerings.

Only last night's offering on ITV (Bond: Skyfall) was anything like a traditional blockbuster. Very much an early Bond spy thriller without relying on big set pieces and effects. Better for it IMHO.

I have the complete set on the media server including "that" episode.

Red shirt you've never seen before usually cops it. :D

If you like TOS then Star Trek continues (11 episodes, free download) is worth a look. The sets were built from the original blueprints.

The entire production design of Star Trek Continues is absolutely beautiful. There’s more than just original set blueprints here - the lighting, costumes and musical score are all absolutely spot on. The only thing that lets it down is that the actors are all trying to precisely emulate the original performances and obviously they can’t - it would be a tall ask for a top-drawer performer but nobody on this show is. The result is that it skirts a little close to parody on occasion.

Having said that, it is head and shoulders above any other fan produced Trek you’ll ever see, much of which is truly awful.

Yes the first time and it's edge of seat stuff where I need to binge the next episode, I had the same feeling when watching 24.

I will start season 5 this evening.

Don't get me started on Manifest. I am at the end of season 1 (ep 14) and I won't be continuing with season 2. Imho the tone is too light hearted in comparison to the premise of the story line. I won't get started with my realism factor but what really really gets to me (and it is always the little things :) ) is that every episode feels like a competition of how many times they can say "a/the calling" and "the major".

I recently finished The X-Files so looking at my other box sets to see what to watch.


1. Scorpion
2. Nikita
3. The A-Team
4. Elementary
5. Spartacus
6. Breaking Bad
7. Monk
8. M*A*S*H
9. Futurama
10. Heroes
11. Stargate SG-1
12. Star Trek (all shows)
13. Eureka
14. Warehouse 13
15. Lost
16. The Fringe
17. Game of Thrones
18. Chernobyl


Possible a few more that I might have forgotten

General Maximus 19-04-2021 12:31

Re: What are you watching right now?
 
Spartacus is fantastic and you can get through that relatively quickly before you move onto some of the others. Star Trek and SG1 would keep me happy for a very long time and then I would love onto some TLC with Kate :romance: from Lost.

Gratitude

We would talk about Spartacus at work all the sex, violence and bad language.

The trouble is with 1,021 titles I have a lot of hours to watch.

303,468 minutes or 210 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes.

So if I started to watch on January 1st 2021 at midnight and watched 24/7 I'd be still watching at noon on the 29th of July 2021.

Scorpion finished on a cliffhanger then was cancelled.

Chris 18-05-2021 17:28

Re: What are you watching right now?
 
I’ve watched Scorpion up to halfway through S3, but I got bored of it. It became one of those shows where the writers get lazy and refuse to allow the characters to grow or change, so they can keep trotting out variations on the same theme week after week.

I predict that had it been renewed for a 5th season you wouldn’t have seen anything very original (which is probably why it got cancelled).

Sure was. I went to see it and it was completely sold out. How many new films can you say that for? They need to bring it back. More people will go to watch that than the cack that is on atm.

Well that's the reason for my question - it wasn't in the original theatrical cut, but it was included in a theatrical re-release the following year and in subsequent home media and network TV releases.

I'm just curious how authentic they're trying to be. :D

Justified is like Banshee (not as much graphic sex & violence), with a great 5 series story arc.

I think he meant that he was watching The Nevers but at that exact moment in time there was an ad break so he was technically watching adverts.

Yes had ads running at that moment. Watch the show and explain why it has that title . Cant see any reason for it. Just can not make any sort of link. Is it a boss cat/ top cat again guess most of you are too young to recall that! Much better title i think would have been " the touched" but guess to un pc

Awesome. I did it last November during lockdown no. 2 and it was time well spent. I gained a new found respect for all of the characters, their journies and what they endured. It was an amazing ensemble cast as well. I'll keep you in suspense and come back later and you know who my favourite character is.
