BruceH Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Anyone catch "Mad Men" last night? Excellent episode! I love that Don hates the 'burbs now. Who'd have thought that Ken would start writing science fiction stories? And the fight was great. I figured Lane would win, despite the difference in ages. With a father like his, he'd have to have learned how to take a few punches. Edited April 16, 2012 by BruceH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 It was a good episode. I loved Pete getting knocked down a peg or three! I loved the little exchange between Roger and Don, and Don drawing the curtains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Again. . .it's so good! Watched this last night. What an experience! Shows why Joel Dorn said of Kirk: "the late, great, one of a kind miracle,baddest motherfucker ever, Rahsaan Roland Kirk." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I suspect I'm the only person in western civilisation who's never seen this. Saw some clips as part of a Geography lesson I had to teach and was utterly enthralled. So I did a rare thing and bought a DVD set. First episode - Pole to Pole. Utterly staggering!

Saw some clips as part of a Geography lesson I had to teach and was utterly enthralled. So I did a rare thing and bought a DVD set. First episode - Pole to Pole. Utterly staggering! Indeed. I bought that in Sheffield for about 1/4 of the Tokyo price. Since then I've watched in on NHK in HD. The Beeb is in a class of it's own with this kind of documentary. I was also extremely impressed by 'Ganges' My link,one of the few that can match Planet Earth in fantastic photography. If you've missed it then I recommend it with the highest praise.

Thanks, kinuta. I'll keep that in mind. I've got 'Planet Earth', 'Blue Planet' and 'Frozen Planet' lined up for the next few months. But 'Ganges' looks good too.

jazzbo Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Another beautiful (non BBC) set is "The Story of India." I love it. Well-researched, well-filmed, entertaining and educational and just plain gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 For fans of Mad Men, Bill Simmons' Grantland website provides regular commentary that is both insightful and amusing, After each show on Sunday night, they also publish what they call the Mad Men Power Rankings where they rate the characters in terms of their contribution to a given episode. It's worth a look. My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Some clunky acting in this show and the direction can often be unintentionally confusing, but it explores some great themes and ideas. The episode I'm watching right now is a re-working of concepts in Philip K. Dick's "UBIK." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I plan on revisiting Dollhouse in the near future, I think it's a show that probably works better once you already know the story and are able to just "absorb" each episode. Thankfully Whedon's stuff tends to stand up to repeat viewings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the fresh water programme last night - loved the otters winding up crocodiles. And the piranhas stripping down a fish in seconds. Though the crocks grabbing wildebeest at the lake edge was pretty unnerving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
