If anyone's interested, I found a working torrent of the 1993 (pre-SE) version of the Babylon 5 pilot on Demonoid.

Just saw the first part of the BBC's new sci-fi show Outcasts.

I know first episodes are often problematic but it was dull, really dull, imagine five largely uneventful minutes of the Galactica crew on the Algae Planet stretched over an hour with less laughs.

It was really badly directed too.

For example, dialogue where one person interrupts another is so massively telegraphed the actors might as well speak the ellipsis'.

The cast should work, there are some good actors in there, hopefully it will pick up a bit so I give at least another episode but there are only six parts so the production should have gone for a stronger beginning.

It's going to find its way into my edit, one way or another.

I get so MAD at "Face Off."

I just wish they'd cut the reality show cliches and little personal ticks, and show some of the make-up work.

I couldn't have said it better Boost."Face Off" is a great idea with poor execution.

Agreed, it was a great episode.  Every time I'm ready to quit watching, the writers remind me that the show is still capable of being hilarious.  I'll probably drop it after Carell leaves, but I'll watch a few episodes after 'cause I'm curious as to how they're going to do it.

Anyway, this is about a week late, but I watched the original V on Netflix Instant.  Thing is, I assumed it was a 3-episode miniseries (not sure why I did), so when I got to the end of episode 2, I was furious that the third wasn't there.  Then I was shocked that they ended the miniseries on such an indecisive note.

Then I started to watch V: The Final Battle, and lost interest about ten minutes in.  I'm going to give it another shot in a week or so.

Is that Ben Affleck's dad?

I CLAVDIVS is an amazing series.

I've just finished re-watching the Granada Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes from beginning to end.

The later ones when Jeremy was very unwell are difficult to watch but not as bad as I remembered them (The Three Gables is the only really wonky one but it's a delight to see Petunia Winegum and Brett in the same frame even if the whole thing is a bit of a mess).

I think its Captain Jean Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.

(m-m-make it so)

 

Well, I can't get that out of my head now.

What a well written production.

 I beleive it... but sometimes those BBC production values are all I can see. I rented "I Claudius" after I had just watched "HBO's Rome" and I my eyes just couldn't take the step down.

It's leagues ahead in terms of writing, actor direction, acting than Rome (which I enjoyed a great deal) that it's easy to forgive the stage play look of the thing.

Elizabeth R is a much more compelling watch than Elizabeth and The Tudors in much the same way.

Elizabeth NC17 was even better.

Not a Regina fan then Frink?

I...don't know?

Are you sure you just didn't accidentally watch an episode of The Flintstones?
