  1. A team of four adventurers to strange new worlds while being asked trivia questions by Bob Saget.
  2. While I still prefer Buffy to Angel personally (unless we're counting the seventh season, which I don't, because the urge to kill needs to remain in check), I found that Angel was overall of more consistent quality. Others may disagree there, which I can understand, but I'd say that while Buffy at its best was better than Angel at its best, Angel at its worst was miles better than Buffy at its worst. Like, I can watch season four which, I felt, was the low-point of Angel, without too much difficulty, but Buffy... has to stop at the end of season six for me to remain sane. Apart from that, the two big reasons I'd say Angel is well worth watching are Cordy and Wesley. If you only see them on Buffy, you're really missing out on the complex, wacky and often surprisingly moving places they take those characters. Wesley is probably my favourite Whedon show character of all time, and by the end of the series, he's unrecognizably different from how he was when he turned up in the third season of Buffy. If you do choose to watch it, I hope you enjoy it! :)
  3. I am so glad I listened to this at home instead of work so that no one heard me yell "YES!" after Dave said "Mackenzie-Chown" and about three times after the reference to North of 60. I literally remember an episode in which someone's foot froze. Like, solid. I want to say that Teevee did something stupid (because he seemed to do that a lot) and got stuck out in a blizzard with someone else and it was the other dude's foot that froze...? Regardless, it was effing cold out and I felt cold watching it. I really liked that show, but frozen foot = too cold. I'd toss in Game of Thrones, which I don't watch normally but did watch the first season of, when it came out; it wasn't really the outdoors bits that made me feel cold, it was the inside bits, whenever they were at Winterfell. Being inside the castle almost looked like it was colder than being outside. Not sure if it really qualifies, but there's an episode of MST3K where they mock a movie called The Final Sacrifice (it's hilarious) which always makes me feel cold... pretty sure it's YouTube-able, if you haven't seen it, but it doesn't take long to see why. It's not always snowy, but the grass and trees look like the frost long ago carted off any warmth... Non-TV side note, I was only at Brock for a year, but I remember the Mack-Chow complex more than any other- and not just because it had a weird name (not that one could judge, with the Earp and newly-built Lowenberger residences nearby), but because I was a) always getting lost in it, b) always feeling too hot or cold in it (there were a few times where it became so warm and dry in the winter that it was a 'Wear moisturizer or learn to live with burning dry skin' situation- the rest of the time, it was a freezer), and c) had that one courtyard that I could never find unless I was already lost (Brock's own Davy Jones' Locker). I am SO sharing this mini on Facebook. :D
  4. Apart from Extra Hot Great... -Welcome to Night Vale -The Nerdist (flagship, pretty much only the hostfuls as I'm not always big on Chris Hardwick's interview style) -Talkin' Toons with Rob Paulsen (often awkward, but often remarkably informative- I tend to download only the ones with guests I'm a fan of) -Ask Me Another ...I feel like I'm missing something... *shrug* oh well, I'll figure it out later.
  5. My all-time favourite mini! :D While my fave originally was Egbert Bandersnatch, I find that lately I've been calling him Steampunk Mother-Hen and Kensington Mark-My-Words... Joe and Tara laughing in the background just kill me.
  6. Very enjoyable- I don't know exactly why, but Holt's "This isn't ours" comment regarding the stolen clock was, to me, the funniest line of the episode. Agreed!
  7. I laughed myself silly at his face when she started going off on him.
  8. Loved the "meeting" at the beginning of the episode- it reminded me of the "press conference" about hurt feelings over a TV forcening from a while ago (also, thank you for the rule- I thought it was just me who noticed). :D I enjoyed the House of Cards discussion a lot; I agree with Sarah that there isn't much tension in knowing that he will win every time, but I actually find a lot of tension (and enjoyment) in watching how he'll win and at what cost (to him, Claire and to unfortunate others). I hadn't really been phased by the until Sarah mentioned that there were cameras all over the house (I had totally forgotten, for some reason), and now I'm having trouble fan-wanking the fact that someone must have seen it... maybe it's live-only un-recorded and... no one was paying attention...? Yeah, I can't un-think that now...
  9. ..well, I was going to say that my theory was that , but Matt pretty much just nailed everything I was going to say. The only thing that's really changed in my theorizing is the possibility that I hope that made sense (I've had about four Timmy's since noon) and didn't offend anyone (I understand that it is a very offensive stereotype, and don't at all mean to reduce anyone- be they real or a fictional character- to it). Since the writers must know that many people have seen the BBC version, I kind of wonder if they're going to fake us out come the series finale and leave us in a state of more shock than those who haven't seen it. Can't wait! :)
