It's a dystopian future were eugenics is achieved by sending everyone at retirement age to Midsomer.

I had no idea Indian Summers was back. It's already on episode three. They kept that one quiet, compared to the crazy amount of marketing the last season got.

Sooo........anybody watch 'The Island' last night? I must confess I love those sorts of shows, there was one on Discovery called 'Naked and Afraid' which was a similar set-up except....they were all naked!! Woo. Anyway, I thought the women started off very strong until the debacle with the water, unlike last year where IIRC they split up, got lost and walked around in circles for three days. While I have massive respect for the woman who lost a leg to a landmine, for someone who doesn't want to be defined by her missing limb, she sure went on about it a lot. Think the farmer lady is going to be a lot of fun to watch, I suspect she won't be keeping any stray piglets as pets for very long. I love the bits where they all introduce themselves- 'I'm a Doctor!' *cheer* 'I'm a chef!' *cheer* 'I'm an insurance salesman!' *crickets*

I think the doctor will prove to be the real star of the series. In the way the iceberg was the real star of Titanic. First she introduced herself as "Alice. As in Alice In Wonderland", because it's such a difficult and foreign name. Then she recommended poisoned water and rest to combat the water poisoning everyone was going through caused by the water she found in a stagnant lagoon, proving knowing something, but not everything, is more dangerous than knowing nothing. Last year the tribe knew salt was a preservative, so kept meat in barrels of salt water (not knowing water is what bacteria likes).

Also, can you imagine being stuck on the island with Riz, not only did he freak out and hold everyone up for hours, he snored all night starving everyone of sleep. I wonder if he'll get cooked and eaten. Interesting to see that it appears the two 'tribes' meet up fairly quickly. It'll be interesting to watch, if nothing else. If you can find it, I'd recommend Naked and Afraid, they start off in small groups and some meet up, some don't. Once you get over the goofy name and butt-cracks, it's pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDufd51Mk1o

Anything that lives in the super-brine is probably something that won't be interested in you. You have to let it soak in fresh water for a day or two before you eat it though.

Caught up with Taskmaster over the weekend, that was some good poo poo. Very much looking forward to next series. The episode where they got Josh to count the beans and other canned foods for no reason and no points at all was genius, such a good idea!

Holy gently caress that last episode of fresh meat was incredible. Totally nailed the weird unique feeling you get leaving uni. Also having Vod do better than Oregon was just the most hilarious thing. Really hasn't been her year.

"Everyone has started throwing up after all drinking from the same water source? Better keep drinking, it'll make you feel better". Although the guys building their camp on a tidal beach is almost as stupid. I will admit, I love this show, based purely on schadenfreude.

Rohan Kishibe posted:Just how anyone is left alive in Midsomer at this point I've no clue. The latest series of tongue-in-cheek detective show Midsomer Murders is drawing to a close. The murder rate in the fictional county of Midsomer has been estimated at 32 per million, in excess of the England and Wales figures. I've just finished The Night Manager, really enjoyable performances, especially by Hollander. Tempted to track down the book - I've only read Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor - both of which were enjoyable but a bit of a slog at the age I read them.

Only a couple of TV ads which didn't even give the date of the season premiere. It's a shame because this season seems to be much more exciting than the last. It's more focused on the Indian independence movement rather than the boring forbidden love poo poo. There's even a new villan with a cool moustache. Why is Gok Wan suddenly presenting a cooking show on daytime TV? Have they run out of celebrity chefs?

Just watched The Island, hilarious stuff. My highlight was when they were desperately trying to make fire the guy who'd caused them to sleep on the jungle floor in the dark all night was over praying somewhere rather than helping. Although to be fair he did pull it out the bag in the end.

They always seem to have something like that, wasn't there a useless mopey guy last year (or the year before) that moped off and everyone hated him, then he found a beehive and they got honey and he became their new god. Something like that anyway.

Weren't multiple people, all of whom drank from the very obviously scummy stagnant water, violently ill? I bet she's a nutritionist or a chiropractor or one of those other ones that sounds like a doctor that anyone can call themselves.

I've been on nights out where someone I've never been out with before will immediately start to panic. He seems the sort of guy to have gone from living with a doting mum to living with a doting wife, all the while thinking he's the big man despite selling toys for a living. Imagine having no experiences in life but suddenly find yourself on a scary island. DrVenkman posted:I still can't get my head around Alice (As in Alice In Wonderland), the doctor, giving people stagnant water and not at all clocking when one person is violently ill. Some people are blind to a problem if they had a hand in it. The water can't be the problem as Alice (as in Alice in Wonderland) found it herself, so it must be some sand-based virus. Haha she even said it tasted 'eggy'.

It's especially weird when you consider that they must've had at least a few days training/teaching before they actually got there. I'm pretty sure that "if it's stagnant and it tastes salty then don't loving drink it you doofus" must've been day 1 of their orientation. It's easy to criticise the people on these shows when in all likelihood few of us would fare much better, but this is one mistake I'm pretty confident even I wouldn't make.

If you guys like The Island you should watch Ed Stafford: Naked and Marooned. It's a three part documentary originally on the discovery channel about a guy who spends 60 days on an island by himself. Really interesting watch and quite satisfying as he actually learns to adapt and survive. This same guy was also the first person to ever walk the length of the Amazon river which is just crazy.

You just reminded me about Alone in the Wild on Channel 4 back in 2009, where Ed Wardle tried to survive in the Yukon for three months completely alone. He gradually got more and more undernourished and completely hosed up by the isolation. I won't spoil the ending in case anyone seeks it out but the end of the last episode was quite harrowing.

I thought I'd try and catch up on a couple of episodes of the 100 and would use my neat Chromecast device to play it on my TV rather than just on a small laptop screen. But good god All4 seems designed to stop people from watching their TV shows. So resistant that it's actually crashed the whole thing so nothing will work on it any more! They must hire people whose sole job it is to stop people from using their products (this is a very British Thing to do mind you- see also our train lines). I'm sure there's ways around it and it'll be better once I've restarted everything but I guess I'll just skip em in the meantime.
