    Any fans of The Expanse in here? (Books or TV Show)

    I mentioned The Expanse in another thread, and was wondering if there are any fans of the books or show here. I've really enjoyed it. I think I saw the first season on SyFy Channel first, then went and read the book, and was blown away by how closely the show honored the book, and how well...

    Triluminary Question

    So rewatching the series again, a nagging question came up and I don't remember where I heard this particular bit of info. Spoilers below for the, well, no one who is reading this site who hasn't seen B5 all the way through yet. We know a few things. The Triluminary glowed when the Minbari...

    Going for another rewatch. Playing a video game sort of inspired me to.

    It's been a while, but I'm starting another watch through of B5. I had been playing an Xbox 360 game called Mass Effect, and MANY of the story elements fondly reminded me of B5. Don't get me wrong, there were enough plot elements in the game (which is an RPG and is sort of like playing a...

    Babylon 5 "Repackaged" DVDs

    I am introducing a friend to B5 and was on Amazon and saw the old SKUs for the B5 DVDs aren't available anymore. But the good news was that there were "Repackaged" SKUs for only $21. Note that this is repackaged as in a re-release, not buying used. Does anyone know what this "Repackaged" is...

    Why "Castle" is an awesome show

    I admit it. I tuned into this show when it premiered for one reason: Nathan Fillion was in it. He is one of those people who I will watch whatever he is in because he makes it more awesome. I figured this was a broadcast network crime show so it might be a good vehicle for his personality...

    RIP John Hughes

    Can't believe nobody has posted this here yet. John Hughes, who made so many legendary movies in the 80s, passed away yesterday at only 59. I think he is a big part of how the 80s felt and what the 80s were. He was one of the first writers to really connect with the young, angsty, teenage...

    Life on Mars (UK version available Region 1?)

    To anyone across the pond. I'd like to watch the UK version of Life on Mars, but I don't see it on Netflix at all, and am wondering how I can get my hands on a Region 1 version that would play over here. Any ideas? Thanks

    Burn Notice: A show you aren't watching but should be.

    Is anyone on this site watching this show? Its wrapping up its second season right now, albeit they are shortened cable seasons of about 15 episodes each, much like The Shield was. I started watching it at the start of Season 2, although I watched all of Season 1 via download rentals so I was...

    Rant Time: Over Marketing of Shitty Movies

    Does this piss anyone else off? I swear to God if I see another "Paul Blart Mall Cop" commercial, billboard, web banner, sound bit, or viral marketing scheme I'm gonna snap. What the FUCK is with Hollywood these days? Do they know they are making such crap that we aren't going to watch, that...

    Bruce Boxleitner on "Chuck"

    So I saw Bruce on this week's episode of Chuck. He plays Devon "Captain Awesome"'s dad. Morgan Fairchild played his mom. All in all, it was fun to see him there. I'm sure he will be back at some point, but was a nice drop-in. He must have some sort of NBC agreement in place since he has...

    Changeling - Discussion Thread [Spoilers]

    Yea, I know, there is a "Changling News" thread, but I'll bet some people don't look in that forum, and even so, thats a thread about News regarding the movie, not about actual discussion about the movie itself, which I think should belong here. So I just saw this movie tonight. It was one of...

    Life on Mars (US Version) - Discussion Thread

    I've been debating for a few weeks on starting up some show discussion threads for shows that aren't talked about in here yet that I like. I'm sort of tired of the only discussions being about lame shows like Heroes (yea, I was into it the first season too, but its time to put it to rest)...

    Internet Short - w/ Nathan Fillion

    Looks like Captain Tightpants is making quite the circuit with these Internet shorts. First he did the Dr Horrible from Joss Whedon, and now he just did one with his Slither buddy, Director James Gunn (who used to be married to Office babe Jenna Fischer). Check this one out, its AWESOME...

    The Dark Knight (Spoilers)

    OK, How can we have two threads on this site about a 15 minute Internet short "Dr Horrible" but not have a SINGLE thread yet about the new Batman movie?!?!? Sick and wrong people, sick and wrong. I just got back from seeing this. The movie was BAD ASS. Best movie I have seen this year for...

    Indiana Jones Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    OK, So I just saw the movie. Figured we should have a thread if anyone wants to talk about it. Most of the people I saw it with flat out thought it was the worst of the Indiana Jones movies (below Temple of Doom). I wasn't prepared to give it that low of a mark, but to be honest, when the...

    Rewatch Value

    This other thread on spoilers got me thinking of something. There are some shows and movies that I can just watch over and over and never get tired of them. Some of them aren't even great works of writing or magnificent stories, yet I can get roped in. Then there are cases of great shows that...

    SPOILER WARNING! (Discussion)

    I came across this interesting article about spoilers and how soon is too soon to talk about what happened on your favorite show, for fear of ruining it for someone. Interesting look at the DVD/DVR era we live in. In the end, I agree 100% with their stance on this. The shows I am most...

    Jericho Season 2 (Spoilers)

    If I remember correctly, there were a couple other Jericho watchers on this site other than me, and were happy when the show was saved by the fan campaign, and its now back on the air for another season. At first, I wasn't impressed at all with this new season. I watched the first episode and...

    Biggest Spoiler Preview Ever (Stargate Atlantis)

    Let me first say, before I get into it, that I never watch the "Next week on ______" previews of any show. I've seen networks like Fox and such do a damn good job of ruining the coming week's episode by showing some key plot point in the preview in the hopes of roping in viewers. So I just...

    The Joker won't be back for the third new batman movie

    Mainly because Heath Ledger was found dead today. Looks to be drug related. Always sad to see that happen to anyone, especially to people who appear to have success and a career. Still, I wouldn't have picked him to join the ranks of River Phoenix and others. He isn't the first, and he won't...
