Apart from he’s called Thanos

Damn
Can’t believe I scored such an open goal & you fell for it.

The baddie in Capn Marvel is actually called Talos even spelt the same way

:sunglasses:

Very much Old School, but last night channel hopping, I found myself watching the 26th and final ever episode of UFO.

Unfortunately no sight of Gabrielle Drake or Ayshea, who Gents of a certain age will remember damply. But Tony Blackburn’s ex- missus, Tessa Wyatt was looking mighty fine.

Also starring was Benny Cumbersome’s mum, Wanda Ventham.

Old school, it’s positively Victorian (ok I exaggerate) - what channel was showing it?

Forces TV. Sky 180.

Tonight replaced by Space 1999, which basically was the follow up. On at 10pm

Yeah, I found that channel the other day. Watched a couple of Hogan’s Hero’s - a right blast from the past as a nipper!

I cannot imagine any TV Show ever managing to take a 50 year old episode, integrate into their modern era and yet fill in some of the back story from the original show.
And have non nerdy geeks like Mrs P_F who wasn’t even born when the original aired saying
OMG.
Gosh. If you don’t want small insignificant spoilers don’t read the whole thread

Yep. Good, clever and careful attention to detail. Lots of comparison pics on Twitter showing how Anson Mount really does lòok like Jeffrey Hunter.
My only gripes the TOS heads had more detail & their clothing was a paler blue. :roll_eyes:
But the series story is coming together now.
Loving it!

Thanks to Mobdro, been dropping in to their ā€œshowsā€ stream and catching random episodes of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica.

I’d forgotten just how damned good that show was.

Me and Mrs C_S were just debating whether to watch that or retain our affection for the original. We’ve decided to wait a bit. Unless you can tell me the reboot is better.

The reboot is epic.
It has moments that relate to the original cannon, but it was a stand out epic. A real part of the reboot of TV in general into something of almost cinematic quality. Even the spin off shows were great and backfilled the story so well. Don’t think Discovery would have happened without it. Great story, great sets and acting AND the original Apollo is in it

(And, tbh, I had forgotten just how smoking hot the cast was.

(OK non PC how smoking the actresses were)

Does Lucifer sit here?

Season 4 has just landed on Netflix rather than Prime.

Inoffensive watch, sometime funny and it adds to the total count of time spent with Mrs C_S at the weekend when not watching footie.

Everyone’s a winner! I’m banjoed when the season finishes though :frowning:

Good bump, series 5 (final series apparently) of Gotham lands on E4 this Sunday :bat::policeman::clown_face::heart_eyes_cat::penguin::question:

I do love Lucifer. Gentle yet clever.
Got most of Mrs P_F’s pals watching it, he, and his accent is a great way for them to improve their English!

And that doesn’t look like Emilia Clarke…

Mind you it does look good - James Cameron, Arnie AND Linda Hamilton!

I started this years ages ago but then stopped thinking I’d watch with my partner (he can manage one show a night, whilst I can do 3). Should I watch it?
