I've been a bit disappointed by this series, not because it's not good but because it's just a bit too technical for me to get my head around. I'm a big Brian Cox fan and have all his Wonders Of... series' on blu ray, but this one is a just a bit too complex for me.

i didnt notice this post before. I agree, i found parts of it too technical to get my head around, and then Shambles post made me think I was thick. But im not the only one - you arent thick and didnt fully get it either. I found his series about astronomy even more mind boggling tbh, i got the episode about the carbon atoms, and the one about the water in the sea doesnt move, its the earth that moves, but the one about "entrophy" i could not grasp at all.
 
Cant believe how shit the dexter ending was

need to start season 2 of oz sometime
 
Aye, last few season were shit i think many just kept watching it out of habit/curiosity. Massive let down

of course ive watched a science documentary before, Brian Coxs' science documentaries present things in different ways that makes it more engaging and tell me stuff i didnt know before. Im not embarrassed about that. I dont know everything about everything. I think with Coxs shows you need a bit of foundational knowlege to start with. I droipped physics and chemisty after 2 or 3 years, and didnt engage with it atall at the time. I kind of switched off during those lessons cos i knew i was gonna be dropping those subjects for my o levels.. So he is talking at quite at what seems like a high level to me about stuff that i have huge gaps in basic knowledge of.

Apologies. In hindsight it sounded like I was being kinda sniffy which wasn't my intention at all. I certainly have massive gaps in my knowledge too but have watched a gazillion and two science documentaries - there are actually very few left online that I haven't seen now - and also read a lotta popular science books. Problem I have with most science documentaries is that they have to assume the audience are totally unfamiliar with what is being presented so each one has to start from scratch. This means that the same stuff comes around again and again from one series to the next.

I'd dearly love to see stuff aimed at people who have picked up the basics and are looking to go just a wee bit deeper. Or to explore some of the less well-trodden areas of science. Or for a series that starts with the basics as usual but, instead of just going over that stuff again, carries on. Have never seen that happen so far and - frankly - doubt it'll happen. Which is a real shame. Have actually taken to watching university lectures (there are loads on PooToob) but obviously they are often a bit too techinical for me... although I can generally get the gist of it even if the equations are little more than obscure hieroglyphics to me. Just doesn't seem to be anything much in between the big, popular, mass-market science shows and university-level lectures which is most annoying :!

At first he seemed to be getting in to it but as it peaked he started to freak out a bit. From what he's said about himself on other shows he's a bit of a control freak and prone to anxiety. Add in the fact he'd never taken a psychedelic before and was doing so in a clinical setting (he was in a scanner whilst tripping which I strongly suspect would send me off on an iffy one too) and I got the impression he's unlikely to be repeating the experience any time soon :D

its ok you dont have to aplolagise, i was getting defensive. i know what you mean though, there's some topics that i am quite well informed about and am looking into in depth, and i would like to see some in depth stuff done on tv, on topics such as drugs and mental illness etc, the panaroma show on that subject was the most biased piece of skewed reporting ive ever seen, and ive totally lost all respect for the show after that. I dont think a subject like that is ever gonna get covered properly on TV. In my youth i thought Panorama was a brilliant heavy weight show, maybe its gone downhill, maybe it was always shit i dunno.
 
Great film just about to start on film 4 channel 'Machete' starring Danny Trejo.
Well worth watching if you haven't already seen it, worth rewatching if you have already seen it.
 
yeah ive seen it, though i prefered the films that it was a spin off from, the one with the guy who would kindap lovel;y teenage girls and do sick things to them, and the one with the woman with a machine gun instead of a leg lol wtf, quentin tarantino at his insane best.

Is danny trejo that mexican guy with the craggy face ? It would have been quicker to type danny trejo into google images but there you go.
 
Yeah that's Danny Trejo,he has been in so many films. I'm sure that there is now a sequel to 'Machete' I saw the trailer the other day.
 
yup, mel gibson will be in it so you know it will be good.... machete was pretty cool though. but hey i like a good exploitation movie.
 
Just watched this week's Sons of Anarchy.

and the most bizarre rape scenario/scene of the year award goes to ...

[edit]

It cuts away at the crucial point tho, so don't get excited or owt.
 
Newp!

Rape choice happens. It's kinda weird

Currently on BBC3 ... discussion on decriminalisation of drugs n other topics

Laurie Penny from the new wave feminist writers crew is on, she's hawt (sorry love ;p) .. and so is that uber clueless cunt from the apprentice .. kateface

Good things in favour of decriminalisation are being said, cept from Katecunt, obviously

[edit]

'kin 'ell. Someone actually just said the words 'We have to focus on Harm Reduction'
 
err bit embarrased about saying this but i really enjoyed tonights episode of waterloo road, the return of grant lee budgeon was brilliantly done, and he brought some much needed gravitas to the show, and they are introducing a teacher with a potential benzo problem storyline, that was a bit overdone, but i would imagine it would have been enough to get kids around the country googling diazepam

spoiler

NSFW:
shame they killed off the best character

Only ever turned in to watch that program once because that kid was in my high school a few years below, got suspended because he winged a shoe at some teachers face, he was a little shite in school. Got away with it though because he was famous init
 
Mark Steel is saying very funny things on HIGNFY on BBC1 right now. It's a new series.

Mark is a legend.
 
For first time, ‘The Walking Dead’ season 4 to premiere worldwide one day after U.S. premiere

International fans of The Walking Dead will not have to wait long for new season 4 episodes, worldwide distributor Fox International Channel announced today.

The Walking Dead season 4 will air episodes outside of the United States within 24 hours of their Sunday night debut on AMC. FIC’s Chief Marketing Officer said that the reason for doing this is two-fold. “We want to prevent the spoilers for sure, we also want to make sure [international viewers] get the best version of the show — not some pirated version. But we also want them to get it super fast.”

Not watching a pirated version is good news for advertisers who want to make sure their ads are being seen by people in the right countries. Moreover, viewership on television should increase.

New episodes of The Walking Dead during previous seasons were seen roughly a week after their American debut which was a record turnaround in and of itself.

The show will be airing in international markets such as Australia, UK, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Balkans, Baltic, Norway, Netherlands, all of Latin America, all of the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa.

As usual, The Walking Dead season 4′s world premiere occurs in the United States at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on AMC this Sunday, October 13.

this is great, downloads are ok if you cant get the stuff any other way or afford any other way, but I think I'll wait for it to be broadcast in the UK, it'll only be afew days later, it seems like the producers have cottoned on to the fact that everyone will just pirate it, if they dont make this move. Very good decsion, i just hope its not plonked on some channel i dont get. What channel do you think it will be on, channel 5 ?
