JSngry Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Three consecutive home runs by the Rangers against the Royals on a Fox national/regional telecast that's using the Royals' play-by-play man & the Rangers' analyst. Talk about a study in contrast! Quote

kinuta Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 House finale WTF ? The Shadow Line Episode 4 Quote
Shawn Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 re-watched the last 2 episodes of BONES, I love that damn show. In the process of re-watching "That 70's Show" Season 7 in tandem with too many other things. LOL Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Remember 'Whatever Happened To Our Dream Of Freedom' from a few years back - brilliant and alarming. BBC is currently screening 'All Watched Over By Machines...' which I've recorded but not yet seen. Will have to look out for those other two. I'm now on Series 2 of 'Spiral'. Funny how, even though I've seen series 3 and know the main characters survive, you can still get tense when they are in trouble. Quote

Bev The series I'm watching, The Trap, is What Happened to Our Dream Of Freedom. It has a long title and a shorter one for some reason. I really enjoyed the first part of the new series and am looking forward to this week's episode Edited May 30, 2011 by kinuta Quote

It has a long title and a shorter one for some reason. I don't recall it having that name when originally aired here - could be my defective memory. Or was it added to give it a snappier title? Am I right in recalling that this had a section looking at how target driven cultures end up with employees distorting everything to hit the target with examples from the NHS and the police? Boy does that ring home in the education field! Edited May 30, 2011 by A Lark Ascending Quote

Boy does that ring home in the education field! The Trap is part of the title sequence. The point you make is mentioned in the first episode. I think his arguments are sometimes thin and don't hold up to careful scrutiny but his originality is refreshing and thought provoking. Quote

jazzbo Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Target is selling this for 9.99. Well worth that. More than halfway through the season and I have tos ay. . . as much as I like the following two, this was the best season. Quote
kinuta Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace Part 2 BBC Headspinning. There was enough information packed into pt 2 to start several threads . Another viewing mandatory, and a third maybe. It's extraordinary that the BBC can come up with programmes like this. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Started watching Season 2. Better looking dvd picture on this season. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace Part 1. Very impressive. I'd never heard of Ayn Rand. The Joy of Easy Listening - a BBC4 documentary that reminds you of how music history gets written about with just as much airbrushing as Soviet history used to. My mental map of the 60s and 70s is dominated by the rock narrative. But watching this I was reminded of just how prevalent this all was at the time. As someone on the programme said, this was how it sounded in Worcester rather than Soho. Edited June 3, 2011 by A Lark Ascending Quote
kinuta Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) The Shadow Line Episode 5 Brilliant show. The whole sequence at the clockmakers was classic. I wonder why there are no comments about this, is nobody watching ? Edited June 3, 2011 by kinuta Quote
jeffcrom Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Genghis Blues - I know that some of you know this amazing film about the California R & B musician Paul Pena, who discovered Tuvan throat singing via the shortwave radio, taught himself the Tuvan style and repertoire, and eventually traveled to Tuva (between Mongolia and Russia), where he entered and won the Tuvan singing contest. A scene of Paul singing and playing the blues "Long Black Train" for a group of Tuvans is very moving, and the footage of his first appearance in the competition is stunning. Even as he approaches the stage, Pena is a nervous wreck, and has little idea what he is going to sing. He ends up singing a couple of traditional Tuvan songs, improvising a song in Tuvan and singing/playing a throatsinging blues. The crowd just went nuts. This is a beautiful film. Quote
Dave James Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Big time hooked on AMC's, The Killing. Engaging story, well acted by a cast of virtual unknowns. Set in Seattle; gritty, rainy, atmospheric. Good stuff. Quote

kinuta Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Frontline - Post Mortem Fascinating and shocking. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Big time hooked on AMC's, The Killing. Engaging story, well acted by a cast of virtual unknowns. Set in Seattle; gritty, rainy, atmospheric. Good stuff. I'm enjoying it as well. Only two more episode's to go. I've begun watching The Tudors, Season One. Quote
kinuta Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 Injustice - ITV Episode 4 I'm enjoying this a lot. Case Histories BBC - Episode 2 Some good stuff on UK tv these days, I might even check out the books on the strength of the first two episodes. Very good. Quote
Shawn Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Bones - Season One: Epidode 15 in tonight's installment... Bones gets shot at, Booth and Bones play air guitar to Hot Blooded, Booth gets blown up by a refrigerator bomb, some poor chick gets eaten alive by dogs...and Adam Baldwin has been in every television show ever made since 1984.
