I just rewatched the triple episode arc in Stargate Atlantis from 3x20-4x01-4x02. It always blows me away, some of the best hard sci-fi going imo.
But the end was brilliant.

I love the SG franchise, but there is nothing hard SF in it. It's pretty straight Space Opera, with magic tech and human one-trait-one-culture aliens. But the episodes you mention were really outstanding.

This makes me wish SGU had gotten another season. It became so good.

Yeah maybe space opera, i'm not really a someone who pays attention to genre terms. I knows what i likes. I'm a huge fan of space battles.

So Drunk History UK happend....

I'm English born and it was loving poo poo. The american one is so much more charming, and the story telling is pretty incredible considering how drunk they are.

I loathed it. It's comedians had zero charm and it's lit like a Ikea store.

State of Affairs is something i've been watching to fill the espionage gap left by The Blacklist's midseason break.

Tonight's episode, at least IMO, caused State of Affairs to go from "Hahahahaha, oh boy. Jeez." to "Ehhhhhhh?". It's actually gotten....better? It's still awful, but now the story is going somewhere and it's on a grander, less terrible scale.

Tell me Agent Whatshisface wouldn't make a great Batman.

I only saw the preview clip with Russell Kane, who I cannot stand. He didn't come across as actually drunk in the slightest as he rattled off his awful 'joke' filled retelling of the nativity with a few slurred words. Drunk History works because it's such a simple loving concept, and yet the comedy bastions of the UK can't even manage that. Burn this country to the goddamn ground.

V for Vendetta had the best parody of english comedy.
I watched the second episode with Irish dickhead, i got through 1.5 stories and i was done. I've seen every episode of the US one at least twice.

Got sucked into Blacklist and James Spader is so good you can't not watch, State of Affairs is not at all unwatchable to my non-TV-addicted eyes, just enough cliffhanger to get me through the week wanting to see wtf.

And for whatever reason I say this out loud every time the character get's mentioned: "Jack Dawson, Super Spy!"

I got lost for a minute on the al fatass owl moo-sorry, chic hokum deal, but then they killed that guy on the plane and that was bullwinkle, right?

I riff the show mercilessly and of all the shows with active threads why NOT this one.

I'm watching to see what wonderful outfits Charlie wears next week :gay:

I also caught a mid season episode of Jane the Virgin at a friends house and i thought it was actually pretty good. So gently caress you Ravane, i'm still not watching it.

I think he's being hyper critical, not sure what he was expecting from something like that. It's a alt world in 1962. Everything worked except some of the CGi which to be fair wasn't really awful or that much of.

The story worked well enough for an adaptation. It changed a fair bit from the book, which i'm reading. I couldn't find a fault besides the CGI.

I think it's going to be a smash hit.


It's plenty brutal enough, has some pretty cool character on the German and Japanese sides.
