I think I remember Michael Moore visiting there back in the 90s to obtain slaves for TV Nation.

It also helped that they cast a lot of rather pleasant looking Australian actresses.

Me too, and I'm building up my B5 collection too. In the unlikely event the AV Club reviews Lexx, I'll be sorted.

I think I just want to see it for the sake of it really. I can't remember if it was any good or not by now, just that someone gets their hand taken off in a botched handcuff removal.

Not being able to watch a R2 DVD in a R1 area hardly counts as unattainable in this day and age.
 
Channel 4 in the UK used to show some more cultish films late night on Fridays. Before we all had broadband, youtube, torrents etc to hand, HK action movies, anime and things like that were shown once in a blue moon and C4…

Gareth Thomas has never seen himself playing Roj Blake, William Shatner has never seen himself playing Captain Kirk, don't see what the big deal is.

Always odd when even reasonably devout Christians start mocking mormons as nutters of some sort. Despite the protestations of many priests, I can confirm that I never, ever ate the flesh of a human being on any Sunday.

Baxter writes as badly as many new Who story writers, he sets his heroes up too early as winners, then let us watch on as they simply walk through the various obstacles on their way to the conclusion of the story. Much in the same way the Doctor simply says "I'm the Doctor" and aliens back off when they could just…

Who fans are used to not expecting quality episodes from the TV series itself, so bad spin off books are a given for them, poor souls.

When I hear anyone mention the taping over of Who tapes I imagine the Head of the BBC not wanting to buy more tapes in the same way Dad did in the 80s and producers fuming over the loss of their programmes in the same way my sisters and I would fume over something we wanted to watch being taped over.

In the US when you have a self named show, doesn't that mean you're close to retirement?

Go back far enough and you'll find the AV Club giving the thumbs up to The Phantom Menace of all things http://www.avclub.com/artic…

Human being, turns out we were the monster all along etc etc.

I can't reply directly to Bumpy for some reason, but a lizardman ate the last Jew? I thought Jews were the lizardmen, controlling the world through the British Monarchy. Or am I conflating several different conspiracy theories there?

Any time I see someone in the news touting peace in Northern Ireland as a great breakthrough and that everyone else should do as we did, I mentally refer them to places like Isreal, Chechnya, all sorts of places in SE Asia, where there are some really grim struggles going on.

The BBC showed The Wire in such a way, every week night, an episode at 11, every season back to back.

True, but usually the series is wound up, like Blackadder, or doesn't have cliff hangers, like Fawlty Towers or Bagpuss.

Always sad when reality intrudes on reality TV.

Continental European surely? Seeing McNulty pretend to be English by carrying a male purse annoyed me (and my dead grandfather) as much as hearing him call Bushmills a protestant whiskey.
