For that random tv trivia..  and those Dr Who fans who watched the Christmas Episode, how many realised that Aunt Linda was the voice of Atris in Kotor 2?

I just found out Marvel owns the TV rights to all their characters. So technically theycould have Spider-man and the X-Men on Agenta of SHIELD.

So I learned that season 3 of sherlock ends tonight (the UK version which is so much better)

 

which means, there's 3 episodes of sherlock I haven't seen yet. Hooray!

I seem to recall ladycrimson that you too enjoyed this show a lot? well, it's back.

 

Edit, ofc I could have expected that the last posts in this thread are on about it.

 

That's what you get when you don;t keep up with every thread. oh well.

Golden Globes, 9/10, entertaining. I would do anything to get drunk with Emma Thompson--her mic-drop as a presenter killed.

 

And now I really want to go see 'Her', except there's no way I'm going by myself to that show--wait, they just showed a preview for Sherlock on PBS and Watson has a moustache!  

All Stop. On Screen.

He doesn't keep it. They just did it for people like me who were like "ITS WRONG! WATSON NEEDS A MOUSTACHE!"

 

Speaking of which... ending of ep 3 equals thumbs up from me.

It does look absolutely enthralling, I just wish it was mandatory for everyone to read the books. Then they would understand true entertainment :geek:

But if everyone read the books they would know why Tyrion is in chains and we couldn't be all waiting for them to find out all excitedly.

True but the books offer more insight and mental stimulation than the movies around the characters and there motives. You can still watch the TV series for the visual experience.

If by visual experience, you mean all the fine ladies in the show, then yes, I watch it for that reason.

Yes the ladies are well worth seeing, especially Daenerys Targaryen :sweat:

To be honest, the books are released so many decades apart that I only remember the bare bones of the plot, so watching the show still surprises me regularly.

 

Yeah the time lapse between the books can take ages, I read them all about 3 years ago and then Dance with Dragons when it was released so the story was relatively fresh in my mind

Sherlock Ssn3 Eps3 - That was more like it. I'd give that episode an 8.5 and the first two 7.5

 

But the last 5 minutes of eps. 3? A 10. Bwahaha, perfect.

I still say I expected Watson to do it, not Sherlock.

 

Out of curiosity I picked up Veronica Mars and am currently doing a marathon.

Found out today that Fox is doing a 'Firefly' with Almost Human and showing the episodes out of order. From what I could find out, these are the episodes that have aired and their correct episode number.

 

Air date and Actual Order it should be:
◾1.01 Pilot (Actual episode: #1.01)
◾1.02 “Skin”- (Actual episode: #1.05)
◾1.03 “Are You Receiving” – (Actual episode: #1.06)
◾1.04 “The Bends” – (Actual episode: #1.07)
◾1.05 “Blood Brothers” – (Actual episode: #1.08)
◾1.06 “Arrhythmia” – (Actual episode: #1.03)
◾1.07 “Simon Says” – (Actual episode: #1.10)
◾1.08 “You Are Here” – (Actual episode: #1.02)

 

We're still missing episodes 4 and 9. It's probably why there's no underlying story arc to be seen and why some episodes have Kennex and Dorian being best friends and other episodes they're not. However, the creator JH Wyman has said 'it's all okay' as the rest of the episodes will make sense. But I think he's just saying that to please his Masters (Fox).

 

I've decided to not watch this until all the episodes are out and then I'll re-organise/rename them and watch it from the start in the correct order.

A lot of shows do that at least occasionally. Star Trek:TNG did it semi-frequently, IIRC, and the original ST did it a few times. I've really only noticed minor inconsistencies when it happens...rarely anything major plot or chr. building wise. eg, it only seems weird or misplaced once you know it's weird and misplaced.

Saw a bit of Chicago PD, had to laugh at it with all the "bad cops that get results" nonsense. Best moment was one screaming at another to take a suspect's eye out so he'd say where the cop's kid was.

Yes I do the same, I never skip episodes of a series I'm enjoying. Good call on your side :)

I was very disappointed with season 3 of sherlock, it wasn't nearly as good as the first two seasons.
