the 3rd episode threw me off at first, but I enjoyed it. It reminded me of the weird one-off episodes the show used to do. Like the black-and-white one or the Cops one, y'know?

I did enjoy the first two more, but I think the season is pretty great. Haven't watched the fourth episode yet.

I'm bummed it's only 6 new episodes though.

I'm also watching Gillian Anderson...

in "The Fall"

The show is great. Serial killer / sexual deviant / Ireland / smart police work - it's all very good. The only issue is Anderson herself. She plays a highly intelligent detective and part of her allure is her lack of inhibitions when it comes to sex, and the way she uses her seductive ways to advance her motives in her career, and on this case. She is so invested in the role she doesn't know how to turn it off. Even having casual conversation with another female police officer where there isn't supposed to be sexual tension...she talks in this slow, breathy, chest-heaving voice and it's just obnoxious. Beyond that minor complaint the acting is solid, the imagery is well done (and disturbing) and it's smart enough that you aren't sure what is going to happen next.

My roommate tries to tell me that Xena and Hercules are still good... haha. Maybe...

Thinking about watching ReBoot been thinking about it off and on for the last few years but never bothered looking it up since I couldn't remember the name since I only saw it a few times back when it was airing in the 90s. Finally decided to look up 90s CGI cartoons on a whim and it's pretty much the first result on google :lol: .

Anyways I was thinking about buying it but luckily there its up for free streaming over a ShoutFactoryTV.com which is actually a pretty freaking awesome site. Had never heard of it before today but it seems to be a legitimate streaming service similar to Hulu or Crackle with a ton of really solid stuff including the MST3K, A Boy and His Dog(been meaning to watch this forever), and etc. There are a lot of really good cult classics over there so it's definitely worth checking out if you haven't been over there yet.

Looks like they are just using an embedded video from Hulu for ReBoot. Which kind of stinks since I dabbled into some of their movies and the videos they are hosting themselves have much less intrusive advertisements.

It's free though so no biggie.

It's actually not to bad visually the writing could be better but then again it was a kid's tv show :lol: . Only thing really painful to watch is the character animations.

A couple years back I watched through the Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles and actually enjoyed it up until the end since there isn't much closure thanks to the show getting cancled :(. It's up for free streaming over at Crackle.

Really wish they would reboot it I mean Starship Troopers: Invasion which came out in 2012 is pure eye candy and is visually one of the best CGI movies I've seen. It's up on Netflix or at least it was a few months ago.
