January 13, 201412 yr One hour in of the two hour Downton Abbey season premiere. Opening second bottle.
January 20, 201412 yr I made the mistake of watching an episode of doctor who and now I'm hooked . Why can't American tv be like this? I'd trade the number of episodes for quality in a heartbeat. Never saw a British tv show that I didn't absolutely fall in love with. The same can be said for only a handful of shows stateside.
January 20, 201412 yr I'd trade the number of episodes... There's actually quite a few episodes of Doctor Who. He's as old as I am...or rather, the show is.
January 20, 201412 yr Leading to the Who's the best Doctor/Bond question. Sometimes the first encounter isn't necessarily the best ...
January 21, 201412 yr Anyone who has multiple headphones (I.E. me) is exempt, since we have different headphones for different situations. EDIT: Also, I think the concept of introducing ownership into the equation differentiates the two -- there's no ownership in Bonds or Doctors, other than by the actual show makers. So we are free to pick favorites in things we own, or things we feel the need to pare down, either financially, or just because. I mean, I have the same problem picking favorite movies from 2013 (I have four [Gravity, Stoker, Upstream Color, and The World's End], favourite albums (if you just listened to what you consider your favourite album for the umpteenth time and felt like something different, is it really -- right at that very second -- still your favourite album?), favourite movies of all time [blade Runner, but if there are so many different versions of it, and I wouldn't change a thing about Pulp Fiction or From Dusk Til Dawn -- neither of which I consider even remotely my favourite movie -- then...what? Am I just indecisive?). EDIT #2: By the way, this is my ranked headphone list: Leatherheads everything else ...you have to start stating criteria to get any more detailed than that (portable -- the Leatherheads just aren't -- etc.).
January 21, 201412 yr I started with season 5. Matt Smith is almost as cool as Benedict Cumberbatch. All other doctors seem too slow. I enjoy fast, witty deliveries. The quantity reference was more for Sherlock than Doctor Who which has "longer" seasons. Hustle had 6 episodes and always left me wanting more. Sherlock takes that to a whole new level by having only 3/season. I wonder if the quality of popular shows like Walking Dead would improve if they didn't have filler episodes that didn't add anything to the story line (ie. the governor. Fuck the governor. Worst segway ever).
February 1, 201412 yr Just finished Sherlock s03e03. The first one was hilarious. The second one was...okay, funny again, really? Meh. But the third one was just fantastic.
February 2, 201412 yr Rather than two teams I don't care about in a Game I couldn't care less about* Three Blokes cocking about. * When I said this yesterday, I remarked that I don't appear to have integrated very well
February 2, 201412 yr The Graham Norton Show - last week's ep with Idris Elba, Lena Dunham, & Olivia Colman - hilarious!
February 3, 201412 yr Watching the Super Bore! Blow out and the result was never in question from the first quarter.
February 5, 201412 yr Not sure why, guess 'cause I visited once as a joke and know people in the audience, but watching the Super Bowl of Creation debates. http://fora.tv/event/bill_nye_debates_ken_ham/livestream
February 6, 201412 yr American Experience: The Amish: Shunned http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/shunned/ Edited February 6, 201412 yr by blessingx
