Death's Head

Yeah, episode 3 was hallucinatory. I loved it and same, I could have sworn bits of it were rotoscoped. But they've all been beautiful in their own way - In Aquila Rift and Lucky Thirteen I almost forgot I was watching animation - my brain just gave up trying to work out if they were real actors or not. And the 'traditionally' animated ones are beautiful too - Good Hunting in particular, but also Sucker of Souls. And Zima Blue was amazing, like a Jerry Cornelius strip come to life. A few more of these to go, but this has been a real TV highlight.

After the thing at the end happened, could they not have

That's some spectacular lack of self-awareness. Amazing.

They weren't premonitions as such though were they? Pike literally sees a ghost of himself and Clem Fandango performing an action, the exact nature of which is revealed later on. It's almost exactly like Future Echoes. And it wouldn't be the first time Trek has nodded towards Red Dwarf.

I've just remembered that Trek managed to rip-off Red Dwarf yet again in that last episode, this time 'Future Echoes'.

It's getting better - I really like Pike and his proper Starfleet idealism, and the show would be better served by opening up the ensemble and not focussing so much on Michael. Regarding the latest episode,

Friend of mine is in the Fawlty Towers one! I'd be bang-up for doing the Addam's Family one - Mamushka!

Is that Holland Manners off of Angel? He was fantastic in that.

I think I'd enjoy the banter with the Sinner Man, but trying to make Shaun Wallace crack a smile would be worthwhile.

I do love Pointless for the "...just talk us through the board" bits.

So far I've only caught ones with The Beast - according to Wiki he was the only one who made the trip the States. Woof.

I love the Chase - very nearly pipping Pointless for my favourite quiz. On Challenge you can watch the American version with the British chasers guest-starring which is pretty much the highlight of my life at the mo.

Oh no, it's a comparison I've made myself many times before stopping to think about it - how many scene changes in Twelfth Night, say? I suppose it's a bit like saying something is 'comic book', even though comics can technically be about anything.

I've always found that comparison interesting, especially as I've just come off assistant-directing a play that had about 20 different bloody locations! (Short scenes as well - that was certainly a challenge to stage!)

Roger Rabbit at Hammersmith cinema, now sadly a hole in the ground. Second was Home Alone at Whitelys, back when it was posh, and the third, strangely, was Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
