ManifestedISO Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 New Lucifer, funny. Good costumes, photography. Amenadiel felt strangely powerless, which was weird. He was Luke Cage last season ... All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonek Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Last episode of Battlestar Galactica's first season. The fleet need Starbuck to deliver a nuclear warhead onto a Basestar with her stolen Cylon ship, while the president wishes her to go back to Caprica with it and fetch the Arrow of Apollo. Instead of undermining one another and fighting over this resource, why not simply do one thing and then the other? The fleet is not in imminent danger and neither the President nor Adama are unreasonable before this point, this seems like a very manufactured and inorganic conflict. Still a good programme in terms of quality, though the universe and the characater building seems far less well plotted and paced than Babylon 5. How the devil Gaius is going to bring a child to term with his imaginary companion i'm not even going to attempt to work out, though it seems that the organic Cylons are built to mimic humanity so much that they simply are a manufactured offshoot of the species, strange that Cylons would wish to ape their despised creators so much. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Agent Vasquez, DEO special operator, National City, DC cinematic universe ... now one of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

kirottu Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ghost Rider was cool, but the episode gave me really strong "2nd season Daredevil" vibe, all that vigilante vs vigilante stuff. I do hope they go another direction with it. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quidproquo Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Battlestar GalacticaDon't know if you've seen the whole series and don't want to spoiler it for you if not, but agree that it's an excellent series. There's one scene with one of the main characters that I think is one of the very best seen on a serial. 2 As a bear in winter, so must I too hibernate soon.

I do hope they go another direction with it. Unlike last year at this time, no blu-ray announcement for the previous season, nor for Agent Carter ... am guessing AoS has entered its final series. Which might be entertaining ... when the writers get the pink slip, SHIELD goes off the rails: Yo-yo, dead; Mack and Coulson, dead in each other's arms; Lincoln, back from the dead, only to be re-killed by ninja Agent May; Fitz and Simmons, married in Hawaii.

Gfted1 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Its on Fox so even a basic HD antenna should do the job.

Hurlshort Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well, I have cable, but the sad reality is my wife controls the DVR and I have no desire to argue with her need to record every Bravo reality show in order to get my dose of comedy. I need a streaming option. I'll just wait for it to get released on Netflix or Amazon, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got three extra movie channels and a remote I can talk to (which I never do because I always forget about that capability). The single biggest quality of life improvement for me was now I can record a bazillion shows at once (more like eight) and watch them from any TV, not just the box it was recorded on. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 So, has anyone seen first episode of either Lethal Weapon or Macgyver? Macgyver doesn't premier until tomorrow night, AFAIK. Unless they've released it online somewhere, or have a different premiere date in Canada, I'd expect no one's seen it. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) The Good Place. Kristen Bell finds out she's dead and is introduced to "The Good Place" by the angelic architect played by Ted Danson. It's the perfect suburb/village of your dreams populated by 350 of the "good people" who are the most virtuous of the virtuous who all get their ideal homes and to meet their soul mate. The minor flaw being that apart from getting her name right, Bell's character has done none of the unselfish things that scored her high enough to earn the place in the Good place. In fact, she's a self-absorbed, highly amoral person and is trying to figure out what the hell is going on, aided by her supposed soul mate who was in life a professor of ethics and morality and is dealing with the fact he has to lie to protect her from being sent to "the bad place". The pilot episode was somewhat amusing, and I'm curious to see just where they do go with it. Edited September 22, 2016 by Raithe "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

ManifestedISO Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 HELL TO THA NO. Having seen the pilot, this may not be entirely inaccurate. They replaced a Cold War-era super science-smart, street-level solo secret agent with an average pretty-people police procedural. Still, I won't give up just yet. Didn't catch Lethal Weapon.

Raithe Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I tried the new MacGyver. It's hm. I'm not getting the magic from it. I mean I know it might be fond nostalgia for childhood memories, but the original as cheesy as it could get had a sense of fun to it? While there are some amusing moments to the new one, I'm not sure it's actually getting that sense of fun as a whole. It might just be because they had to reshoot the pilot and it's still shaky ground. So I'll probably give it a few more episodes before I can make up my mind on it properly. It runs through a few standard clichés, the current trend to have the sexy female hacker, the obvious twists, and the setup for the potential mysterious big bad. They've kept Mac's commentary to the audience, and they've added in cgi text identifying components during the MacGyver jury-rig moments. 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
