    Ah yes, I did watch Unbelievable too. The point is, I don't use it anywhere near once a month so it makes no sense to accept being a slave to their shite service.

    Ya, I'm a fan. Big up BBC for the staggered release, too.

    I'm sure the internet is going to react very positively to a new character created for the Batwoman TV show and her being black.

    Not sure it matters much for a made-up crime-fighting lady who dresses up as a cat for lolz, and Halle Berry already played Catwoman

    And it's not more "unrealistic" if a 2000 year old time traveller who has adventures with giant pepper pots has tits instead of a dick.

    Or if a half-woman, half-fish person who's mates with an albatross is black instead of ginger.

    And yet....

    EDIT: Actually I'm now not sure if you thought I wasn't sarcastically talking about the angries.

    It's a shame Ruby Rose quit the show as I thought she was doing well after a shaky start when they introduced her.

    Glad that they didn't just decide to make the new actress "Kate Kane" and pretend nothing happened though.

    All I remember about that is the weird moany soundtrack. And Catwoman was solving crimes instead of committing them.

    I caught up to episode 10 last night. 8 & 9 were all over the place imo. 4 remains the highlight.

    There's a lot of episodes and moments that I struggle to fully grasp the intended purpose behind but not in a negative way and THAT'S ART.

    Spent the last few days watching Warrior Nun on Netflix and it's a lot better than I thought it would be. There's a lot of set-up in the first few episodes (after the first) but it ramps back up about halfway through and the last couple of episodes are great. Lead actress does well, especially as this was her first English speaking role.

    I started watching Limitless (series, based on the film of the same name). It's decent and I have a soft-spot for quippy, explain-improbable-things kinda shows. Nothing groundbreaking but solid background stuff

    Kinda, yeah

    The guy from the film appears (and also produces) but is seemingly cast as the bad guy, thus far. His henchman is a guy who's supposed to be a classic "Menacing Brit" but sort of comes across like Johnson from Peep Show

    Finished Homeland series 1, which was brilliant and intense. Started series 2 today, so too early to make any judgements.

    I'll listen to her talk about it on that podcast of theirs tomorrow.

    That role-reversal of genders act got a big grin out of me, lot of time for that.

    As someone who pronounces it the laaaahst daaaahnce, I just don't feel qualified to watch it.

    I've been recommended I May Destroy You by multiple sources though so that is going to get a look.

    I've just seen the Guardian's reviewed The Plot Against America. I remembered reading about that a while back but didn't realise it was out now.

    Written by David Simon and Ed Burns too.

    I fell asleep halfway into the second episode and they played right through, but I seen nothing in that first 1.5 to go back.

    If that's aimed at IMDY, it's not exactly got a gripping story arc and you're about as far detached from its intended demographic as it's possible to be so that is not surprising. But it looks good, sounds great and does a lot of novel stuff.

    Anyone watch Pointless last night? The finalists picked 'Blue Things', one of which was probably the easiest ever questions for sheer scope of pointless answers: name any Chelsea player who has scored more than 10 Premier League goals. They knew fuck all about football though so tried to name bit part actors who were in The Thin Blue Line.

    1. It's Stamic.
    2. He did not play for Chelsea.
    3. Who tf am I thinking of?
    4. Jesper has 7
    5. Eddie has 8 career goals for Chelsea.

    Easy, yeah?

    Edit: Nah it is Stanic. 7 league goals. Cheers all.

    Not sure if there is a list anywhere but I got all three picks correct, off the top of my head Osman said: Gudjohnsen, Morata, Anelka, Gallas, Peacock, Flo, Pedro, Willian, Luiz... Four Four Two did a quiz that had 44 listed and it sounded like the majority of those were pointless.

    For a pointless effort on that I think I would have gone Mark Stein, John Spencer, Gavin Peacock or something like that. All pre-Gullit studs and only one of them now advocates the total subjugation and submission of all women in regular tweet storms.

    My answers were Gavin Peacock, Dan Petrescu and Willian. I think 2 of them were pointless.

    What’s the premise? Pick a Chelsea player who has scored 10 or more league goals that nobody else would think of? Is it like on opposite of Family Fortunes, only the answers are all factually correct?

    It is indeed the opposite of Family Fortunes. So if you'd said Drogba or Lampard or whatever then it would have been a higher score which you don't want, but you're aiming to get a correct answer which zero people thought of and win the money.

    Makes sense. I’ve seen it on my parents TV but never really watched it.

    My go to Chelsea player answer is always Shaun Wright Phillips.

    Doubt he got 10 for this one though

    Casiraghi I wasn't confident on but Sutton I was thinking was going to be up there with Drogba on about 50+ goals.

    1) Season what?!?!?!
    2) I thought that was Daisy Edgar-Jones prior to googling. Imagine the reaction.
    3) Mawaan Rizwan had me thinking of Mehdi Hasan which would have been some move.

    That's it for an insight into the workings of this curious mind.
