I pray every day Trump will win.

Forever. Damn, that was a pretty good show. Sort of a mash up with Highlander, Elementary and Castle. Pity it was cancelled after one season but it sort of finishes at the end of the season anyway. No real cliffhangers which is good.

Paid the stamp duty today on the property I purchase last year. That was a lot of money that went down the drain. Settlement is on 21st of this month. Didn't realise it was that long ago that I signed the contract. Time flies.

I think it's a brilliant move the Republicans playing the Trump card.

Agent Carter - Season 1. Heard it was good and decided to check it out. Glad I did. It's kind of like a sequel to the first Captain America movie but set in the 1940-1950s as you see what happens afterwards. Two different stories playing out after the movie with the TV show showing the past as well as the new movies showing the present. I really like that. Intruders Interesting series by Glen Morgan, writer from the X-Files. First couple of episodes started off slow but by the middle it turned around. Cancelled after one season but still enjoyed it. Eleventh Hour (UK) with Patrick Stewart. Only four episodes but quite good and always good to see Patrick Stewart. There is a U.S. remake made a couple of years later with Rufus Sewell which I haven't seen, but will check it out some time to compare it to the original UK version.

I'm not a gambler and don't gamble at all. When I did go to Vegas, I decided since I'm here I might as well try it just to say I tried it. So I walked up to the window, placed my dollar bills down and said, 'Can I have $3 worth of quarters please'. The lady just looked at the three $1 dollar bills, looked up at me, looked back down, took the bills and changed it and said, 'good luck'. She probably thought it was my last three dollars I had. I did win some money, just enough to buy me dinner and the amusement ride at Luxor. So I thought I came out al right in the end. Never gambled since..

Well, the X-Files has wrapped up. The more I think about it, the more I realise there wasn't enough episodes. From the old seasons, there were usually a half dozen episodes that dealt with the mythology throughout each season and the rest of the season had Monster of the week episodes that filled in the rest. The mythology story for this season comes across as being told in about the same number of episodes (half a dozen) but was squashed into two: My Struggle and My Struggle II. While I liked the content, it would have been better presented over more episodes. The season should have been in the range of 13 episodes at the very least. But with the actors being older now and with other commitments, that may have been harder to do.

I agree with Raithe. I didn't mind Season 5. It was a good epilogue to the series and explored things they probably wouldn't have had time to get around to. Definitely one of the best endings to a series I've seen. Interesting, the ending of Season 5 was the original ending of Season 4 not knowing if it was going to be renewed, but they reshot the Season 4 finale with another episode. I also agree that watching the four other movies 'In The Beginning', 'Third Space', River of Souls', and 'A Call to Arms' is better to watch after Season 5. You could watch them in between seasons but I always watch them after. And then onto Crusade. Crusade is another kettle of fish with the episodes being shown out of order. There's some lists on the internet which debate which order they should be seen. Definitely don't watch them in the DVD order.

Australia. Live in Sydney next to the beach. It's been a nice 28°c (82°F) today but feels milder inside. Love the sea breeze coming in and the smell of fresh air. We haven't had the aircon on all summer as the breeze keeps the place cool. Have lived in Brisbane for 3 years (a few years ago) which is more humid and sub-tropical. Was nice to go swimming, kayaking and surfing in Winter when it's around 70°F but eventually moved back to Sydney due to various reasons. Mostly work and family related. Sydney has more of an extreme temperature range than Brisbane but I do prefer Brisbane weather. However I prefer Sydney as a place to live for other reasons than just work and family. Sydney has other things like more gaming groups (D&D, Traveller, etc), more comic book stores, more sports groups, generally more of everything else that I like.

Been used to 25-40c (77-104F) weather all my life and have lived rural but prefer the city life. Live next to the beach and very much an ocean person.

Sense8. Heard many good things about this and had put aside to watch later. Just watched the 4th episode and this is brilliant.

The Man in the High Castle. Great Stuff! Can't wait for Season 2.

Flash / Supergirl crossover confirmed. http://comicbook.com/2016/02/03/the-flash-supergirl-crossover-episode-titled-worlds-finest-multi/

That's good to hear.

I found him to be quite boring.

They should send a Rover to the moon to confirm all the stuff up there is there.

Fiddlesticks! I thought I was beginning at the beginning as Dickens suggests, i'll have to stop watching the series until i've seen that now, the slightly autistic side of me will allow nothing else. Thank you for the notification however, i'm enjoying this series rather too much i'd say, quite enthralled. I highly suggest watching the Gathering before continuing. I did the same when I first watched Season 1 all those years ago and I remember characters referring to events that I hadn't seen before. It was a little confusing and when I looked on the internet, I was like 'damn, I've missed the pilot'. And there's some really important story elements that set up the series. Once you watch the pilot, a lot of things will make sense. Sinclair, Garibaldi, Kosh, Delenn, G'Kar, Londo are all in it and establishes their characters. For some reason they leave it off the Season 1 box set but it really should be part of it as a pre-season pilot episode for this very thing with people not knowing there's a missing episode.

Nonek, did you watch 'The Gathering' before Season 1? For some reason, they leave it off the Season 1 box set but it's the pilot of the show that was aired back in 1993 and Season 1 started in 1994.

New Caledonia or Fiji

Westworld (1973). Been a while since I watched this. Not sure if I could stomach the sequel Futureworld but I'll probably watch it again. Mainly re-watched it for the TV Series that's coming out this year.

So what's your opinion on this?

First two episodes of the new X-Files. Great stuff. Can't fault either of them. Next week's episode looks like it'll be good too.

I think Babylon 5 is one of the best sci-fi shows I've seen. I've re-watched it a few times.
