Spartacus - Lots of Blood.. and Silly Tshirts

By Michele Neylon on February 9, 2010 1:34 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

Spartacus Blood and Sand isn't going to be showing in Europe for a while I suspect ..

For those of you who have been able to see it the tshirts it has inspired so far are quite amusing.

Who'd have thought that you could get so much inuendo into a simple Latin word like "ludus" ....

Getting Friends With Flowcharts

By Michele Neylon on January 27, 2010 1:35 AM | 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

Over the last couple of weeks several people suggested that I watch "The Big Bang Theory", which is an American comedy (if you, like me, weren't aware).

I finally succumbed and "gave it a go" and am now totally hooked.

One of the shows main characters, Sheldon, seems to get some of the best and funniest lines (and scenes).

Sheldon isn't very good with human interpersonal relations (and that's putting it mildly!), so when he had to become friends with a colleague from work he decided to apply logic and a flowchart to the "problem".

The result was hilarious.

So what you say.

Well I'm into my "geeky" and "funny" tshirts, so I came across this one over on ThinkGeek :

I'm not sure how well that would look on a tshirt, though I'm willing to give it a try!

If you're "into" crazy tshirts there's even a site dedicated to the tshirts worn by Sheldon in the series!

24 Redemption

24 Redemption was shown on Sky 1 earlier this evening, as a two hour "special event", as I mentioned earlier.

Without ruining the story for those of you who missed it...

Jack Bauer is still Jack Bauer, but there's no CTU (as my mother reminded me!), so it's a lot more focussed on the "lone wolf" than the previous series.

Of course it's also nearly 22 hours shorter than a normal 24 series, so you can't really expect it to be anything like the normal series.

While watching it I was wondering how they'd manage to come up with a "full" story in 2 hours, when they're used to doing a real time story that lasts 24 hours... I needn't have worried - it works. It may not be a chef d'oeuvre, but it's still damn fine tv entertainment.

24 Redemption is being shown on Sky tonight.

24 Redemption is a 2 hour feature length special that is meant to bridge the gap between day 6 and day 7 (series 6 and series 7 in non-24 speak). It aired on US television last night, so I suspect quite a few people will already have downloaded a torrent version. Personally I prefer watching things on my TV if I have the choice ie. if I don't have to wait 6 months!

Stargate Atlantis

I don't like watching single episodes of TV shows, which is one of the reasons why a Sky+ box makes sense for me. The other problem I have is that I forget which evening or time a programme is showing!

During the week the Stargate Atlantis Season 4 boxset arrived from Amazon, so I spent most of yesterday watching it. Funnily enough Season 5 has started airing in the US already, so I was able to watch the first two episodes of Season 5 shortly after watching the grande finale of Season 4.
