Upstairs,Downstairs-It's a show from the 70's(I think) about a wealthy family in 1905 and their help.It'se Downton Abbey.It'sinteresting show.
The latest Shield episode. Not bad. Bill Paxton guest starred and an introduction to Lorelei[ from the world of Thor![]()
All caught up with Ressha Sentai ToQger, give that it's only aired 3 episodes so far. It's... eh...
The gimmick of switching colors and thus weapons is neat and all, plus it's cool to see a Red with a skirt, but it really is just a gimmick. It doesn't add anything beyond color swapping since the weapons don't see to actually do anything different in the hands of another member. And speaking of members, their mecha is... special. In that it appears to be able to form a giant red phallus at will. The Hell.
I don't really like the design of their combined mecha, to be honest. It's boxy and feels like a product of the 80s in a bad way. The overly bright colors don't help, but then it's called the Rainbow Line so that can't be helped. I also don't like the design of the helmets; the railroad track visors don't do it for me, especially with the Blue guy who always has his falling down... because he wears glasses that always fall. GET IT.
And that's the other biggest complaint; it's beyond lighthearted to the point of needlessly silly. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man who likes more serious sentai, but I could do without the glasses bit. Or them breaking the fourth wall now and again, or the lamest part of the entire series so far, the Pink one cosplaying at least once an episode in her mind to make herself a better fighter in reality.
But again, only 3 episodes so what I'm sure will be a 48 to 50 episode series, so there's always time for things to change. Or for me to get used to them. Or Japan sinks into the ocean. Or space robot holocaust.
Kinda want that last one to happen. That sounds neat.
And now I've seen episode 4. I really am starting to dislike the helmets and I honestly think the suits are even more lame than that of Go-Busters, a feat I didn't think possible. Wagon is really starting to wear thin on me. I really do think Right, their Red should just ask to permanently switch with their Pink, since he's transferred with her in every episode so far.
Also, starting watching Samurai Sentai Shinkenger; another series with helmets I don't like and outfits that I think are ugly. Maybe it's because I'm not Japanese but I don't get the obsession with samurai and the feudal era... not that I get the obsession with stupidly over sized swords like their Red rocks in combat all the time. Also, their machines are both ugly and look hilarious due the fact that they're compact, fold up things. I guess this is a case where they're going for toy accurate? And their combined machine... well, I've seen a lot of bad giant robot designs and this is pretty high up on the list.
I'm not even going to get started on their spin disks...

Hell's Kitchen-
Latest Agents of Shield.
Very good. Lady Sif was in this with a great fight between her and Lorelie. Can't wait for the next one. They keep falling behind and have to wait 2 weeks between episodes but if that means a better show then I'm all for it. Bring on the Deathlok!!!
Any other Marvel fans following this???

Started watching Twin Peaks (again).I think this show(as with most David Lynch's work) has to be watched several times. I've noticed a lot of things that I didn't the first time around. I think there were some fairly obvious hints to who the killer was.Or I'm reading too much into the show. There's some things I haven't figured out though, but I guess that's part of watching it.
Been catching up on Big Bang. Just noticed not long ago that the blanket over Amy's couch looks exactly the same as the one from the old Roseanne show![]()
