Who's watching what on tv

[When Jokers Attack]

Episode 2 of Homeland was really good, I won't say anything more.

[t8yman]

Homeland ep 2 was fucking brilliant.

Dexter- I'm not so sure..........

[t8yman]

dexter spoilers ahead - don't read if you aren't up to end of episode 2.

I'm just not happy with it. There's no way Deb would deal with the situation like this. The bloodslide plot is going to develop nicely, with Dokes obviously being "not guilty" to LaGuerta, she is gonna dig like fuck. I hope the series becomes a bit more plausible because its frankly ridiculous at the moment.

Catchphrase is coming back!

Anyone watched this week's SOA yet? Best guest appearance ever!

Quite enjoyed Spielberg's The River last night.

Really enjoying new Red Dwarf Glad it's back to how it should be - apart from the fact that even Kryten is looking his age

I caught this myself last night and I am glad I did. The changes to the set give it the feel of the first 2 series. I am glad it is in front of an audience as well. It all seemed really natural rather than forced in the dreadful Back to Earth.

Watched Back To Earth the other day,dreadful.

Yeah I think Back To Earth was just compromised too much from a complete lack of a budget.

Red Dwarf X is pretty good though. Really enjoying it. There's sod all else on TV making me smile and laugh quite so much. Love how they're all right back in character - particularly Chris Barrie as Rimmer.

Really has the feel of the old series - self contained stories on board the ship. No Starbug, no time travel crap, just them trying to get by on a bucket of bolts in deep space.

I wonder if they will explain where Kochanski went, where the crew went, why Rimmer is a hologram again, how Red Dwarf itself is still there etc. it's not really necessary I guess, almost like how they didnt need to explain the drastic changes from 2-3 (which they did in 3's opening scrawl) but it would be nice.

Seems like the Kochanski from 7-8 is missing, not dead? I always thought it was weird how they dropped the whole thing about her trying to go home to her proper reality. She was a snobby unfriendly version of the one we saw in Series 1 (who always seemed to be really into Lister - she marries him in a future seen in Stasis Leak which I'll assume has been aborted) so again they could just say she found a way home to her Lister and our Lister's Kochanski is still very much a pile of Daz, that would do.

If they end it - and I hope they do, it has to end with Lister on Fiji, it just has to.

Think the new series of the Thick Of It (was two weeks behind but caught up this week) has finally got into it's stride now! Really back to what it made it brilliant

Rimmer has always been a hologram though hasn't he?

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Ok. You were all right. The second episode of Homeland was great :-)

[t8yman]

I'm watching Ep3 tonight and I cant fecking wait!!

[LondonTom]

Nah for the last season when they was back on Red Dwarf proper he was "human" again but I guess that's debatable as they was all rebuilt by the nanobots(I think that's what they are off the top of my head).

_{I'm loving season 3 of Boardwalk Empire. It seems to be getting better with each episode.}

Quick possible explanation and handy plot hole patch: Lister and Co found the nanobots (maybe some were still in Lister's blood since they rebuilt his arm and Kryten figured that's where they were). They tell the nano bots to destroy the virus that was wiping out Red Dwarf and put everything back the way it should be - so the robots do just that, taking it literally, destroying Rimmer in the process (and the crew) once again. The hologram in Series X is just a duplicate copy of the one that left to be Ace and so retains what little growth of that character he went through while dead, along with memories. Kochanski ran off to follow a link way trail back to her dimension and they lost her. Senile Holly was put back in charge but the bath incident from Back To Earth wrecked him.

Maybe they're leaving it open for the fans to interpret how they like.

Have to say Person of Interest is getting a bit dull after a few episodes. Very samey.

Have Life starting this week - not seenn it before, but another big role for Damien Lewis in the US.

Loving Homeland, Continuum, Warehouse 13, Red Dwarf, Alphas, Hunted, Criminal Minds.

Ok last episode of Red Dwarf seems to have me confused.

Why would you teleport back to Earth and then not be amazed by that? Granted they were in the wrong time - but they suddenly had a teleporter back to Earth. The only justification for going back was finding Kochanski. Also - while it's a gag I know, but spending six months traversing the globe on foot would have had a significant effect on the crew, especially during such a hostile period in history. You'd be a radically different person by the end. Earth would suddenly be home again and the thought of returning to Red Dwarf would be a very strange thing to do.

I know I should let it go but Red Dwarf needs to sort it's plot holes out before it starts tearing whole new ones. Maybe that's the joke, oh well.

I really enjoyed Life. There is a good running story line that does not take over many of the episodes.

Arrow starts tonight and I have the first episode of Elementary to watch. Its the Sherlock Holmes thing with Jonny Lee Miller but based in New York

[When Jokers Attack]

Well Homeland is moving fast. Wonder if there is plans for a third season?
