What are you watching?

The Frankenstein Chronicles - a six-part mini-series starring Sean Bean.

(I'm curious as to whether his character will survive ...)

Sean Bean? Don't hold your breath.

Sean Bean? Don't hold your breath.

It's gotta happen once in a while. He made it through Ronin, IIRC.

The signs and portents are not good, though. TFC is only 2 episodes in and he's already got a dead wife & baby he wants to be with (and there are intimations of mood and foreshadowing that he might get his wish). But maybe the writers are trying to pull a head-fake ...

Never saw Ronin and I have no idea what IIRC means.

I'd go with the signs, portents, dead wife, dead baby, and his fate in everything (except Ronin apparently) he's been in. How is it Sean Bean dies in everything (except Ronin) and Glen gets to live? There's no justice in this world.

My husband bought all the James Bond movies on blu-ray. We're on the 2nd one, From Russia With Love.

sweet, enjoy...
I read most of the Fleming novels growing up...I also remember seeing the early ones, like Goldfinger, Dr No, From Russia With Love, and Thunderball, at the drivein theater with my mom and brothers, while my dad worked nights. Man those hotdogs wrapped in foil (steamed), and a grocery bag full of buttered popcorn was priceless...

Wife taped that last Cruise flick "Ghost Protocol" in the Mission Impossible series and we watched it. It was actually pretty good. Say what you will about Cruise, but I like his movies. Took me four years to get around to seeing it though....

Also, the Flash on Netflix isn't bad either, at least the pilot. I liked the comic when I was a kid.

My #2 son likes Flash. They both like Gotham. I need to check out Gotham because that's the only thing my oldest son watches. He doesn't care for tv and it's been a long time since he's actually wanted to discuss a tv show.

Gotham is the better of them by far IMO. We watch it religiously. The Flash, is getting kinda campy. We watched the second episode last night. Also, the Flash is connected to the Arrow, and although my wife likes it, I am not that crazy about it.

Legends
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_(TV_series)
he's been running strong for 20 episodes so far....

 

[opal]

oo.. I like Legends too

Gotham season 2 is a lot better than season 1. Many of the actors try to emulate the Dark Knight versions of their characters. The guy playing "proto Joker" does a phenomenal job, he puts together elements of Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and the animated series versions of the Joker.

I have been watching the series "Hunting Hitler", on the History Channel today. And, I have little doubt, that he and Eva Braun escaped from Berlin and lived out their lives deep in the jungle of Venezuela. The information released by the US gov recently allowed these investigators to reveal how he pulled it off. It was magnificent and makes perfect sense. Those Germans were incredibly smart and had some awesome resources...
The ruins in the jungle, the U-boat, the tunnels in Berlin to the airfield, the secret aircraft..... Yeah, they escaped, that's for sure.

Anyone seen it yet?

Donald Sutherland on ‘The Hunger Games’

Thinking about watching Amazon's "The Man in the High Castle".

This series is very well done, but for people prone to WTFs, I recommend not to look at the secret films the characters watch, especially at the end of episode 9, and probably stay away from the last episode in its entirety (FWIW, it strays from the book). The end of episode 9 introduces a genre change, which is rarely attempted in movies or TV.

Just finished Season 5 of "Game of Thrones."
