  1. Same problem. Font is incredibly tiny. I had set it to extra large, but once I chose theme the font became smaller and the ability to choose font size is not there now. (Using opera browser)

  2. I'm glad Jim finally made the deal with the guy who had the hockey Calves protector socks. Same with the chemist who had the water ingredients nail polish, seems like a really good idea.I didn't think much of the product named amazeballs. I picture knocking back a glass with those in it and ending up cracking a tooth. And did he say his last name was phallic? That can't be his real last name can it?

  3. The best part of the episode for me was no Busty Ross - although I thought for sure she was going to make an appearance when Crane mentioned Benjamin Franklin's interrogation method (cue flashback).

     

    I guess Pandora didn't kill Nevins but, then he returns and they kill him off anyway :(  Even if Bill Irwin (who'll always be the Flying Man to me) was busy I wish they would have left the door open for his return. 

     

    Oh, and I loved when Crane called Abbie Tenente.

  4. I knew nothing about this episode other than the fact that it was about wrestling/wrestlers and, I really enjoyed it.  I knew from the breakout that the Female Aid/Crowley escape was a set up by Lucifer.  ...

    The wrestling stuff was great, I really enjoyed the boys being boys and having fun reliving their youth with the Old Time Wrestlers.  I had no idea that the young punk/kid was an actual wrestler, he did a good job in the scene where he turned the Crossroads demon down.  The older Wrestler (that Dean idolized) was good as well.  Any idea on the actor?  He looked so familiar to me but i can't place him.

    That's Canadian actor (originally from Winnipeg), Aleks Paunovic. he turns up in a lot of shows, especially those filmed in Vancouver.

  5. Ever since they got the new dragons I find myself laughing so hard at least once an episode.  This time it was the guy with his Styloli (? - the convertible hat).  Michele and Joe just looked so absurd and that hat was fugly.   Also, I couldn't understand why the butt cream pharmacist didn't take Jim's offer when he was meeting the assman's  equity  investment offer.  Who wants to invest in a guy who has to call his wife first?  Bad move when he ended up giving up more of his company.

  6. from the espn article: "Inter have no shortage of ambition and no shortage of money"

    Inter may have ambition but they also have to watch their finances due to the restrictions placed on them

    under UEFA Financial Fair Play rules. Besides the financial restrictions placed on them they can only

    register 21 players. So they have to make money and clean house. It is odd though that six months after

    Mancini requested Shaq, he didn't want him any longer. Oh well, I hope his career flourishes just as when

    Coutinho left Inter.

  7. A remastered FFXII would be really cool to see. I definitely wouldn't mind sinking more time into that.

    My favourite FF game. I'm not sure if I could devote any more time to it though. I had all my player characters

    maxed out and bestiary/weapons, etc. completed.

    Heard speculation that a remake/remaster is in the works?

    that was later clarified?

    Guess we'll see what happens. Still looking forward to FFXV.

  8. Wow! Great episode. Joe, I hate your guts. I cried at the end - poor Max. His scene when he was praying was heartwrenching.

    This apparently is the scene in this episode that AMC cut out. This really pisses me off. All of the deleted scenes with Pete's wife and her synth really change the perception we have of Pete, and consequently, his relationship with Karen.

    And all those deleted scenes are plot points discussed here (so definitely not minor). I'd prefer AMC replace the spoilers/

    previews with the scenes they are deleting.

    They better find and revive Max.

  9. Yeah, that was my first thought, too. It's been a while since Real Humans, but if I remember it right Flash was a sort of nanny-hubot, right? On a related note, I preferred how there was a limited amount of different models in the original show. That made sense.

     

    One thing I find interesting/a bit weird is the change in having the Pete character (Roger in the original) be a policeman. The change from having William Hurt's character be related to the others, I can see why they chose to do that, but this not so much. It kind of takes away from his story a bit - in the original you could almost (just almost) sympathise a bit with him and his being replaced by hubots both in his already dead-end job and at home. Actually, I think everything about that part of the story was better in the original, like the development of the wife's relationship with their hubot and their son's reaction.

    Some of my reply is going to be spoiler-tagged for plot/episode reasons (especially after ep5 of Real Humans).

    I agree - Many of the characters stories are better fleshed out ;) in Real Humans. (This could also be

    because the episodes run longer than Humans). Still, I think a lot of the characters were more

    sympathetic. One could see how much Odi and lonely Lennart needed each other. And Gordon

    reading the Bible and wanting to be accepted as a God-loving being.

     Flash is the one with long blonde hair/sister to Gordon.

    I remember her being kidnapped later on and forced to work as a sexbot with Odi.

     

    C76 - I barely remember Ove.  Was he one of the good guys?  Did he have a moustache?

     

    Just read in the other forum Humans was getting a second season.  I better start watching season 2 of Real Humans.  (I'd rather see that first).

  10. I'm up to episode 5 of Humans and have only watched Season 1 of Äkta människor (Real Humans). So far, I really

    prefer the original version and its taken me up until now to really appreciate the different story being told in the new version.

    In the original version the hubots have a limited number of models; in this version no two synths are the same,

    which doesn't seem very realistic for a mass-produced commodity. Also, the hubots have certain roles they are built for like workerbot, caretakerbot, sexbot, etc.

    Leo in the original is a more sympathetic character. Merlin comes across as a jerk. And I guess Niska in Humans is a combination of Niska and Flash from Real Humans?

    I agree, the Hubots are creepier...maybe because they look and act less human?

  11. KAT165, ON 12 JUL 2015 - 02:01 AM, SAID:

    The Fairy King told Arabella that her husband traded her for a piece of wood (which was the Arabella imposter/Moss Oak), but what did Jonathan actually do that allowed FK to take his wife? I don't remember and/or am unsure. Doesn't Jonathan have to strike some sort of bargain with FK in order for FK to get what he wants? I don't recall/understand how it was so easy for him to bring Arabella to the dance.

    When the Moss Oak was taken to his house, she asked Jonathan if she was his wife and did he forsake previous wives. He said yes thinking he was comforting her but that was the oath. The Gentleman said Jonathan would do this unknowingly.

    This is why I am still confused. Arabella had been whisked away during the night, and I thought it had

    been some time until the Moss Oak arrived at the house, so how was the Gentleman able to enchant Arabella

    before then? Also, I have just realized the women have no will of their own, seeing that their husbands are able to make these arrangements with the fairy.

    I am still loving this show and wish each episode was 2 hours long. They go so quickly.
