nowt wrong with faggots and peas (pronounced 'paes') - stirling dish for dinner many years ago... yummm - must seek out some faggots - go great with gravy and taters
The last couple of episodes have really got me interested in Lost again - as the previous eps seemed to do little to hold the viewers attention.
I hope that it just isn't the fact of the Other's home has been found, and that there is now a new dynamic to the story, that will keep me interested - though I suppose the next few episodes will tell... damn those Lost writers - they've got me watching it intently again just because of 2 good eps this season...
OO, you still playing chess? I've gotten away from it for a while now.
I'm still playing - just. Tend to go through a few weeks of playing a lot of matches, and then lose interest in it if you fancy a game sometime let me know
There is something compelling about those opening lines from the old BSG...
A shame it seems that the Caprica project has stalled - maybe if it is the last season of BSG it may get picked up again as a continuing spin-off? Hopefully, anyway.
I'm off to look at the tv guide to see if there is anything worth watching on tv until 2008
^ ah, the infamous 'Ship Of Lights' and Count Iblis - I remember it being a cool epsiode back in the day - and definatley some similariites and homages going on there from RDM
IIRC Count Iblis was played by Patrick MacNee - who also voiced the start credits on the the old series - "There are those who believe... that life here... began out there. Far across the universe. With tribes of humans... who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians... or the Toltecs... or the Mayans... that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids... or the lost civilizations of Lemuria... or Atlantis... Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man... who even now fight to survive... somewhere beyond the heavens." - as a kid I thought HE was the Imperious Leader the cylons were always on about...
I think JediSage has hit the nail on the head - the episode was sort of reminiscent of the original BSG ep when Starbuck and Apollo left an old unsused observation deck to try and find Earth - just before hearing a radio transmission of the Apollo moonlandings come through (so they weren't faked after all ) For some reason the four people in the nBSG can hear a transmission of some kind...
They may think they are cylons at the moment - but doubt they'll be come the first few eps of the new season (far too many questions are thrown up like why Tyrol and Cally have a child (another cylon hybrid kid like Hera), Tigh fighting in wars all those years (cylons DO age), etc
Has no-one invented that time machine yet which will send us into the futre t owatch new eps of BSG ? (and pick up the lottery numbers )
^ I really hope that RDM will get the chance to wrap up the series properly - if it is indeed the end. I'll have to track down the interview - but RDM said he thought the Caprica series was 'no longer moving forward' in relation to it going ahead, and IIRC spoke about it in the past tense (a shame).
What did you think of the final episode? It certainly opens the stroy up for more possibilities...
^ is that official mate, or is taken from Ron Moore's latest interview in which he said he wasn't sure if he should prepare the 4th season as BSG's last?
anyway, I'm off to listen to some Jimi, and then download the episode podcast
a bad patch going out of so many competitions in a short space of time for the Arsenal - and although thier style of football can often be a joy to watch, the other side of the coin of their sportsmanship and attitude let's them down big time.
Was a fascinating and superb match to watch - the first 20 minutes were great, and I couldn't see Barca getting back into it when they went down to 10 men - but fair play to them, they pulled it back.
3-3 with Messi completing his hat-trick in injury time - not bad for a 19 year old. lol
The commentators reckoned E'too was not best pleased about being subbed and at half time - it seems for club stability alone that he may leave at the end of the season... as a Liverpool fan I wouldn't mind seeing him playing for us
I hope the film does well and takes Trek into a fresh direction - however for that to happen it will need something few Trek films have had of late... a decent story.
Throw Lille out of the Champions League for their players 'leaving' the pitch? No chance.
A fine and a warning from UEFA is the norm for these sorts of things.
The crowd problem is a an obviously more serious and complex problem - I imagine there'll have to be a full investigation (cover-up / switching of blame) before anything is done about that...
UEFA don't look after the fans' best interests - they are there to get rich and have a good old free time at the expense of the paying fans. If UEFA get things wrong they shift the blame - often onto the fans.
Don't think Man Utd did anything wrong in the game (officials' fault for not letting Lille's goal stand) - though I do hope Lille beat them in the return leg
I'm very much looking forward to seeing this - especially after thoroughly enjoying Spaced and Shaun Of The Dead
It'll be interesting to see if they do another few movies along the lines of Shaun and Hot Fuzz (taking off Zombie and Police films) - it'd be superb if they decided next do a film on sci-fi - or even Star Wars...
