Kylie Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I'm having a Gilmore Girls night (season 4)! Sounds good! I'm watching House Hunters. Quote
Virginia Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I'm watching A Walk In The Woods but I may switch to something else tonight and watch this tomorrow. Quote
JeanW Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 We watched A Walk in the Woods recently and after I adjusted to the fact that Robert Redford is much older than Bryson was when he did the walk, I quite enjoyed it. And Emma Thompson was as good as she always is. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Most recently: The X Files mini series ep 1 Agent Carter 2x01 - yay, brilliant start to season 2 Daredevil 1x07 - enjoying this more and more DC's Legends of Tomorrow 1x01 - not bad The Flash 2x10 - fairly average ep Arrow 4x10 - yawn Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2x21 - great fun Star Wars: Rebels 2x10 Continuum 4x03 Quote
Raven Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 SG:U (or Stargate Universe in plain English). Re-watching season one, nearing the end. It's a lot better than it is often given credit for. Looking forward to Winterwatch tonight. Quote
Athena Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 SG:U (or Stargate Universe in plain English). Re-watching season one, nearing the end. It's a lot better than it is often given credit for. I've only seen both seasons once but I liked it. I don't prefer it over Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, but it's enjoyable nonetheless. I agree with you, it isn't as bad as some people say it is. Quote

I agree with you, it isn't as bad as some people say it is. ^ I think their trying to ape Battlestar Galactica turned a lot of people off at the start and it never really recovered. Equally, I don't think the series would have worked as well if they had stuck with the tried and tested mix of wry humour and action from the other two shows. Atlantis is my favourite Stargate show, mainly due to David Hewlett. In other news, I hate Eggheads. Edited January 26, 2016 by Raven Quote
poppyshake Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 The David Bowie documentaries Five Years and Sound and Vision (not the terrible tribute programme they hastily put together on the day he died but a documentary filmed a couple of years ago) .. great stuff. Also caught up with Dickensian on BBC iPlayer .. brilliant. Quote

Raven Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The Challenger William Hurt playing Richard Feynman in a BBC dramatisation of the investigation into the loss of the Challenger space shuttle (which happened 30 years ago today). An excellent piece of acting on Hurt's part. Quote
woolf woolf Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Crime Scene Investigation (season 14, episode 15) - I watched it late at night trying to fall asleep, as I sometimes do, but this time it had the opposite effect. An innocent, community-driven school girl is found murdered, but her tracks lead to a brothel. What becomes an exaggerated homage to Twin Peaks turns into a suspense with a cruel plot twist.

vodkafan Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I have caught a couple of episodes of Siblings on TV and found it really funny. Quote
AbielleRose Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I'm watching Mr. Deeds. No idea why I love this movie so much, but I do. Quote

Wow, are they up to season 14 already.. I quite liked the first few seasons but for me it went downhill after that (after a lot of the original actors left). Quote
woolf woolf Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Legend of the Galactic Heroes (episode 6) - an anime series depicting a space war between the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance, the main characters being two young tacticians in each side of the barricade. Through their success, it's possible to notice the weaknesses inside each federation. It's been interesting, so far. Quote
vodkafan Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I caught the first episode of repeats of The Pallisers, a BBC series from 1974. It looked great! Must get this on DVD. Quote
Athena Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 We've watched a lot of DeathNote the past few weeks (the TV episodes but also the second live action film), but for the TV show I'm not liking the direction the story is going in, so I don't think I'll watch the rest of the episodes. My boyfriend will watch them on his own I think, he is still interested. I feel the show should've ended already, it's kind of drawn out and I don't like some of the plot twists and new characters introduced in the last part of the show. So instead the past week we've been watching YouTube videos (using the PS4). We're enjoying seeing Mental Floss, Honest Trailers, and more. Quote

It didn't appeal to me, but he likes things like this. He also likes the Punisher comics and concept, which I don't understand the appeal of at all. We have had high metaphysical conversations about it: I say that the character of the Punisher fits exactly the classical concept of the Flawed Anti-Hero of literature, who is damaged beyond redemption and, by doing wrong, will eventually destroy himself; he disagrees and thinks the character is noble.

vodkafan Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I just finished watching a BBC four-parter from 2001 called The Way We Live Now. It was was superb. From the novel by Anthony Trollope. Quote
Kylie Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Just finished the newest episode of The Walking Dead. Brilliant! Quote
Kylie Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 This thread has been quiet recently. Am I the only one still watching TV? I've been watching season 3 of Orange is the New Black. I was desperate for the new season to start last year, and then I just forgot all about watching it! It's a good show for booklovers. In one episode some library books are burnt in a bid to get rid of bed bugs in the jail. Some of the inmates hold a funeral for the books. It's a great scene! This is the only YouTube video I could find of it (it isn't great quality because someone filmed it from their TV): Quote
lauraloves Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I loved that scene in OITNB! I've almost watched the whole lot now - I'm about halfway through season 3 Quote
Athena Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 During our holiday we watched Michael Palin's Around the World in 80 Days. That was pretty good. It's not the sort of thing I'd normally watch, but I enjoyed it. Quote
