What Are You Watching?

Play it? Watch it? Listen to it? Post it! Discuss Movies, TV, DVDs, CDs, and Evangelion! Compare Computer, Video, Pen & Paper, Sports, and any other games you want. Most anything entertaining is fair game.

It is spiritually very very similar to "To Serve Man": And to talk about it i'd be giving out common knowledge of the story lines of a really old short story and a somewhat old very bad tv series. Ahem.... should i use spoiler's or just tlak it about normally?

Mostly it would just be the plot premises though.

Wait, are you claiming Twilight Zone was a bad television series? I'm going to have to kill you if that's the case.

No no i'm referring to the series that I linked in my previous post.

Basically the story of "aliens come to earth disguising an evil with a cloak of peace and innocence to rape and pillage the planet" has been done a lot. From the previews and other material V will be a "spy/psychological" hidden enemy plotline along with aliens are out to rape the planet of resources and murder the human race in some horrible fashion.

Alright, I give in; What's the fuss about the Big Bang Theory? What's it got that sets it apart from the myriad crappy sitcoms out there?

From what I've seen of it, it's funny, but nothing really makes it outstanding in my opinion. There's better stuff I'd rather watch, but there is also much worse (that's right, I'm looking at you Two and a Half Men).

Mwuahahaha, a little bit of fan service can be found in episode 8 of Sanctuary, a nightmarish set of drawing by a Asperger's syndrome sufferers features a full length posed shot of an Ulnas ( spellcheck). I really like this show.

Socially inept geekdom. It's like they took my teenage years and put it on display for all to see.

My wife and I (because it's nice to have at least one show we watch together, and I ain't watching Army Wives or Real Housewives) watch FlashForward. Interesting, but I don't think I'd watch it without Courtney B Vance being in it. I'll watch anything he's in, out of respect to Hamburger Hill.

I meant to catch V but I missed it. I watch Modern Family on Hulu during lunch breaks.

I'm also currently going through Band of Brothers again.

Sunday:

Nothing really there. Typically I spend my Sunday evenings working on homework and studying anyway.

Monday:

House
Heroes
Lie To Me*
Castle - It has Nathan Fillion as the star. Need I say more?

Tuesday:

NCIS
NCIS: Los Angeles
White Collar - Was on Friday, but comes back on Tuesday in January. Glad I gave this USA show a try.

Wednesday:

Again, not much. More time for schoolwork, I suppose.

Thursday:

FlashForward

Friday:

Stargate Universe
Numb3rs

Out of Season:

Burn Notice
Psych
V
Royal Pains
Eureka
Warehouse 13

Also, I have been watching JAG and Quantum Leap on Hulu recently. I am starting to believe that Donald Bellisario is some kind of mad TV genius.
