I've just watched the intro-teaser of it and while it sounds interesting, one question irked me throughout: Why Alan Davies?
just watched My Neighbour Totoro - a nice poetic Japanese anime.
Last night, I watch Empire Strikes Back for the first time in a long time, while hubby worked on the computer. Then, I watched Doctor Who, Eleventh Hour, for the second or third time.
Being at someone else's house makes it difficult to really relax, so I was happy to find something on late-night TV.

^^ I've had that on all day and I've been watching it off and on.
Tonight I'll watch Falling Skies, if there's a new episode.

I think Alan Davies might have been chosen because he had no more knowledge of physics than the average person and therefore his questions were on a level that non-knowledgeable people could appreciate.
It's just about what you'd expect it to be. Some of the kids are hugely annoying, some are endearing, some really haven't made an impression yet, all are pretty talented musically. I'm enjoying the glimpses into the thought processes and personalities of the people behind the show. This last week the guest mentor from the show was Dot-Marie Jones (Coach Beiste) who plays my favorite character on the show right now. It was really great to hear her talk about her character.
When it first aired, I watched Enterprise for the first year-and-a-half or so. I quit when I realized it was a chore that I was forcing myself to fulfill. It was last priority on my list of things to watch, and I always seemed to put it off until I had absolutely nothing else to do. Then "A Night in Sickbay" aired and I decided enough was enough..I'm determined to watch the whole series though. There's value there. I know it. Somewhere. *repeated sigh*
Did you ever watch it through before? Seasons 3 and 4 are where its at. What's so sad is the show compares pretty well to others. I don't care what series it is, none of them find themselves until Season 4. In fact, I think it's arguable that overall, Enterprise's Season 3 is as good as or better than any of the other series.
...snip...
But I've heard enough people around here saying how good it got in the last couple seasons that I'm willing to give it another shot - especially now that it's on Netflix instant view.
So far I've watched "Broken Bow" and "Fight or Flight" and here's a summary of my impressions:
- I loathe T'Pol with all that is in me. It has nothing to do with the catsuit and everything to do with how the character is written and how Blalock portrays her. She is unbearable whenever she's on screen.
- I hate the way the Vulcans were given a smug, disdainful superiority complex. In previous series I didn't really care one way or the other about Vulcans. To me they were just rather dull. This show took a species that should have been gracious mentors to humanity and made them insufferable, arrogant jerks. RUINED the species for me.
- Already I want to toss scaredy-cat Hoshi out an airlock, and I'm actually inclined to like this character because I think the actress is charming. As a corollary - they don't have the universal translator, so instead Hoshi has magical translating powers?
- Don't even get me started on the reckless decisions Archer has made so far. "Oooh look, a pretty new planet with air like ours - let's go play down there without even launching a probe or observing it for more than 5 minutes!" (Guess that comment indicates I've also watched "Strange New World" - I fell asleep 10 minutes in after all the eye-rolling made my eyes heavy.)
Sorry for the thread hijack. You may now return to your regularly scheduled recitation of your viewing habits.
(Oh, and as an aside, I don't get why people are making such a big deal about MLB listing the games he's watching. He's expressing his interests just like the rest of us are. It's not like he's hijacking the thread or making posts that aren't easily just disregarded if you're not interested. Who cares?)
Didn't know anyone was given a hard time for posting sports. Personally I love knowing someone else on the board is watching the same games as me.
Watched Limitless earlier. Wasn't too bad actually. Reasonably entertaining.
Watching Star Wars (ep. 4) at the moment. I'm in bed and can't sleep. Laptops for the win.

I wasn't expecting to like it, but I rather enjoyed Limitless as well.
I am watching the last episode of NUMB3RS - Season 3.
After I finish that, I am going to go to ESPN or something and try to find highlights from the Tour de France.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Pegasus". Regardless of B&B's efforts to destroy this episode by proxy, it is still one of my favorites. I love that the normally unshakeable dynamic between Picard and Riker takes a hit here; not that I would want to see that dynamic destroyed, just that I like seeing such things get attention once in a while.
Some fourth series Bones episodes.
