  5. To be fair, Supernatural is one of those where the cast have a great chemistry, and the dialogue can have that right sort of inner-smirk, tongue-in-cheek camp awareness while they have fun being silly about the seriousness. On the downside, it was kind of geared around a storyline that culminated around the..5th or 6th season? I can't remember exactly, and was meant to end there. However due to the sheer amount of fans, they've kept it going and kind of gotten into that habit of introducing some variations of bigger, bad each season. Although I will admit, I have the last..3 seasons I think stacked up to watch at some point because I haven't bee keeping up.
  6. Heh. Donald Trump and Morning Joe hosts off-air conversation leaked
  7. Okay, this might be more deserved in the Funny Things, but it is about a specific Tv show..
  8. Funny story - Apparently one producer involved with Blade Trinity introduced Reynolds to Deadpool. He told him after seeing his character in that film, he was totally Deadpool. Reynolds had never heard of him before, so went and got an issue out of curiosity. For the really quirky... that very first Deadpool comic he opened had a panel where Deadpool actually described himself as "Ryan Reynolds meets <some other bizarre character>"
  9. So Warner Bros. have confirmed they will be keeping Zack Snyder on to help the 2-part Justice League films.
  10. Well, I did Computer Science and Business at degree level (well, until I had to drop out final year and start the caring), for the past oh, five years now I was doing sort of part time project work from home that I could fit around looking after my mother. That was more general research, systems engineering, modelling and analysis rather than out and out IT. So I'm pretty much covering all those areas in the job search and applications.

  12. Still plugging away at all the job searches here. I wasn't expecting things to happen fast, but I was expecting to get some greater traction on things after 3 months or so. I seem to be caught in that awkward position of lacking experience in specific areas for the middle and senior positions, but too old and out of date for the entry level positions. Because I'm over 24, there's no government funding helping out for apprenticeships, so that limits that possibility, since companies are happy to spend a grand training under 24's, but not so the twelve or so grand training costs without that government subsidy. Everyone respects the responsibility of having spent 15 years caring for a parent, but that doesn't actually get you back in the door to the workplace. The potential project work I was dealing with part time the last year or so seems to be falling apart, since the guys behind it just keep putting it on the shelf for months at a time, so that's pretty much heading the way of the dodo. I will say it's kind of an interesting mix of depressing and nice to get the formal letters saying your CV didn't reach the short list for interviews. Depressing because its a negative, but nice that they actually responded and let you know. Hm, on the random, is it me or has the forum been acting up the last week or so? I seem to be having lots of timeouts when switching threads these days, and since I'm not having problems with any other websites it seems focused on the Obs boards...
  13. I actually know a woman and her kids who actually talk like this to each other..
  14. Hm, and I don't see the point in starting another EU thread up, but for the potential interest .. after Cameron's return from the EU and what the reforms are being pushed for.. And a lot of people here are still unhappy with the situation. Most notably that they feel if we don't leave the EU now, we're going to be stuck with a rather obtuse, not exactly democratic EU in charge of everything.
  15. What the difference is between Hispanic and Latino... http://www.vox.com/2015/8/19/9173457/hispanic-latino-comic
  16. Crusade had a few interesting ideas as well, but as you said, it got shown with episodes out of order which didn't help the overall story or feel of it. But the other major weakness I found, was the music. There was something unique and wonderful about Christopher Franke's scoring of Babylon 5 that just captured the mood and atmosphere so well, so when they did Crusade and they got someone else to do the music in such a different way it felt wrong for something in the B5 universe.
