I'll be in my bunk.

I watched the Buffy episode, The Body again last night.

Golly that is one piece of television that never loses it's power to churn the emotions.

Everyone should see this as a primer for the sort of reactions one has to the situation.

After finishing Firefly, I've been thinking I should give Buffy a try even though it never interested me previously.

You won't regret it.

I can't think of a truly duff episode, some are better than others obviously but the better are examples of television at it's best.

Not so much Angel though it too has some fine episodes.

     REGGIE PERRIN:   Clever stuff. Pity it had such a short run.

I didn't get where I am today without saying now there are two of them.

       ^  Oh. I meant the second. :)

Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001)

This show was really hit and miss. Seasons 1 and 2 were very bland. Season 3 was an improvement. Seasons 4 and 5 were good and then it fell apart in season 6. The last season was okay. Except for the finale. That was garbage. I haven't seen a worse ending since Mass Effect 3. That show really needed a guide. Instead it just kind of wandered all over.

Hannibal - with Mads Mikkelsen :) and a bunch of other familiar faces.

Bates Motel.

Both prequels to well known film series. This should be interesting. I like them both so far.

 

 

The story reminded me of the eighties in the UK.

Divided by strikes, by sexual politics and Aids and by the Irish troubles.

People say that the seventies were drab, beige and nicotine stained. I remember that time being garish, plastic and lurid and the eighties were depressing albeit with a Barbie pink and black motiff.

Not a good time to be one of 'them'.

Is everyone in Hannibal and Bates Motel a nutter?

yes.

Hannibal is the weirdest art show around.

The mushroom guy was the most disturbing thing I have happened across since the trailer for Human Centipede (I feel no desire to see the film, the trailer was enough to convince me of this).

I let my wife know when Season 5 of Mad Men went live on Netflix Streaming a few weeks ago. We decided, eh, we didn't really care anymore.

Last night, we thought, we might as well see if its ok. Then watched half the season. Somehow it feels better than before. More coherent.

Really getting hooked on Bates Motel.

Checked out the first episode of Defiance. It's not bad but it feels like a mashup of Babylon 5 / Battlestar Galactica / Warhammer 40k.

Hopefully it will get better / more interesting / more original..

The effects are kinda hit and miss too, sometimes impressive, sometimes rather cheap looking.

 

 

 

Been watching City Hunter. Really enjoying it so far. Also going to get back into watching Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits really soon.

I like Defiance so far. They need more scenes with the Doctor tho.

Really? I thought the doctor was poorly done.

 

Finally saw some Orphan Black. seems like it could be interesting.

About to check out the Fades. FX.

 

Saw Once More With Feeling again last night on my slow journey back through Buffy/Angel.

It's still good but I think I've watched it enough time to diminish it's impact.

The Angel episode Billy still packs an uncomfortable punch though.

Enterprise (2001-2005)

A show filled with potential that was greatly misunderstood and sadly mismanaged.

Hannibal just gets better and better (it's has as much realism as Game Of Thrones but as a work of Telly art it's something special).

Well in the pilot of Defiance I thought the doctor was a pretty good character. Lately though it seems like they've sidelined the character into just being in the show as little as possible. So I agree with you now.

Last show I watched was Royal Pains. I'm not a big fan of this show but it's something that my Mom really likes so I was watching it with her. I don't think it's bad or anything. It's just an okay show to me.

Last web series I watched was the latest Who reviews the reviewers round because I missed it live. It always feels kind of meta whenever I think about commenting on this. It's like I'm commenting on a group of people that have gathered to review the creation of reviews from other people that are reviewing various products often video based. That and sometimes Gaffer Tape's dog attacks... Oh yeah and Gaffer Tape stops in time.

I watched the Bafta ceremony thingy. It was ok. A lot of the clips from the shows intrigued me though, I might have to go and check some of them out.
