Oh. I thought you meant two TVs side by side. I liked Supergirl 5. Good series. That's the only arrowverse show I've watched from the start. Apart from Batwoman. I keep thinking I ought to have a go with Flash. The Flash's main problem for me was the repetitiveness of the villians. But its my favourite cast (and least altered over its run) so that offsets a lot of the problems with its season big bads. Legends is still my favourite show, but it takes a long time to get there. Finally started on Batwoman. Surprised at how much I enjoyed the first 4 episodes. Though I am irked by how much it feels like its ripping off Arrow despite arrows blatantly ripping off Batman in the first place.

Just watched 'Unbreakable' on DVD. It's a nice little story, though not as gripping or well-acted as 'Split'.
'Glass' really is the weakest of what really never needed to be a trilogy. But I'm glad it exists just so I get to see more of McAvoy's multiple personality genius.

Unbreakable is vastly superior to Split on every level.

Phew. At least 2020 hasn't broken everything just yet. Some of the old ways remain.

I am enjoying season 2 of SeaQuest on Horror Channel. It is the right kind of watchable nonsense. It is terrible in every way but so bad it's good.
I saw some of s1 back in the day (bland) and s3 (too serious) and had not seen any of s2. Love it. Atlantis! Hundred million year old crocodiles! Naked aliens! Killer plants at war with mankind! Evil submarines! Useless talking dolphin!
You can also visibly see actor Roy Schnieder get more and more fed up with the scripts as it goes. He gets hammier and hammier and often stares into the middle distance while scowling.

Tried CSI: Cyber. Very boring.
Not had Council TV for years. Exciting.

You need to persevere - the tech bollocks becomes ever more ludicrous and the character sub-plots are hilariously bad, particularly Patricia Arquette's

Having a dog sitting in the lap of an evening means I've caught more TV than usual - have seen the two Kick-Ass films in full finally and the two Kingsmen films. Both Kick-Ass films are better than the comic, as the Mark Millar-isms are curtailed. Kingsmen films were enjoyable - Mark Strong does a good Scottish accent.

The Kingsman films have grown on me upon repeated viewing. From the trailers, 'The King's Man' looks like it might be even better.

Hadn't realised there would be a third film.
In this instance glad they did a prequel with a new cast, I don't think there was much room for Eggsy and Harry to continue. Also not having Merlin in the films would have depressed me.

Didn't like the first one. Avoided the second.

A Youtube documentary entitled Was Jimmy Savile as Wizard 1.0, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Flash Gordon on Blu Ray this afternoon. Followed by a documentary entitled Sir Arthur Conan Doyle vs Sherlock Homes, sadly they do not meet, fight and team up against a common threat.

Watching Balls of fury and Amazon is showing me its next up option. The Hobbit.
Does Amazon even try?

This week I am mostly watching the 2017 Power Rangers movie on Blu-ray, one I skipped when it was in the cinema.

How are you finding it? I thought it was decent enough.

It was fine! But then I've never been a Power Rangers fan so I don't care about any deviations from the source material. I haven't been able to watch any of the earlier episodes or movies all the way through, because they are so awful. But the 2017 movie is OK! Good cast, flawed but likeable characters, humour, good production values. It's a decent, fun teenage superheroes film.
And the Blu-ray is a full package: 2-hour film, 2-hour audio commentary, 2-hour-20-minutes making-of documentary, 30 minutes of extended scenes, plus outtakes and trailer. Can't complain!
Also, they kill Bayverse Bumblebee (at 2:10)...

I expect I would have seen it in the cinema if I hadn't been prejudiced against it by existing PR stuff I'd seen.

I was not prepared for how grim the last act of the finale to SeaQuest DSV was. It was the usual daft nonsense then EVERYONE DIES (except for a couple left marooned on an alien planet). The sudden change in tone gave me whiplash.
Next up is the short-lived retooled/sequel show SEAQUEST 2032. I only caught one episode of that back in the day and just found it dull.
SeaQuest DSV season 1: boring. Season 2 (when half the cast are replaced and the show gives up any pretence of realism and hits the Crazy Batshit button): great tosh. Utter rot but so bananas I loved it.

Sadly, the short-lived SeaQuest 2032 has started and already half the fun has gone.

Season 2 is fun because it is so mad and the perfect antidote to Current Events. I really don't want to watch Proper Drama at the moment.

SeaQuest DSV was better than SeaQuest 2032.

SeaQuest 2032 was shorter...

Post by The Doctor on Oct 10, 2020 15:43:20 GMT
The thing is at the time only getting 13 episodes before being canned (as 2032 got) seemed really short. Now a 13 episode run for a whole show in its entirety seems really long!

I had that feeling when it dawned on me that of course DS9 has 26 episode seasons after the first one. 26!

At its peak in the mid to late 90's Star Trek was sometimes pumping out up to 52 episodes and a theatrical movie a year.

Disaster! I will probably miss all of this week's SeaQuest 2032 episodes* due to OU work and tutorial! That German blu ray complete SeaQuest set now becomes a MUST. Apparently the UK release has an authoring error where 2 episodes are on twice and so 2 episodes are missing!!!

Ralph.
This is the Horror Channel.
It will be broadcast again.
Stand down from your daft Blu-Ray purchase.
