I'm watching this Ascension thang on Sky1 at the mo...it seems to be a bit like Bioshock's Rapture in space..or perhaps a bit more like them Hugh Howey Silo books in space? Anyway - giving it a whirl.

I can't believe they built that shit in the 60s..

Alternate 60s.

Gave up half way through the second episode. Hollyoaks in space. Not even in space if you pardon my spoiler. Low-brow fodder and really not very good.

I agree. I did plough through to the end. Waste of time.

Thanks. We got half way through the first episode when my wife needed to sleep. Never a great sign, but she was willing to continue.

Won't bother as it was touch and go when we were done.

Sky's next big 'thing', Fortitude, looks interesting from the trailers....

Tried Forever for about 5 minutes. Guy has captain scarlet like abilities. Moans about being immortal. oh, its such a curse.....
Turned off.

Re Ascension - I watched it to the end, really to find out who knew what on the ship about the mission. Also the ship didn't look big enough from the outside for me...

I thought Supergirl was likely to be wearing a more practical onesie these days..

[Darkflame]

Saturation and Brightness is really out of fashion these days.
Still, not too bad.

Not like superman not wearing his underwear outside his pants these days. I mean, what's the world coming too.

Only in the Nordic countries, it seems.

[toxibunny]

Aha. I take it you all know about http://hola.org then?

[Darkflame]

Agent Carters great. Much more consistent then Shield. Hope it gets a second season.

I didn't even know about Agent Crater. I shall be checking it out.

Of course i'm years behind...

Just started on the Flash. Got to the point in Arrow (season 3 ep8) where the description said it was part two of the crossover with the Flash, so figured I'd give it a go despite not being wholly convinced by Barry Allen in his Flash build up appearances.

As I seemed to watch 4 episodes in one go, it clearly exceeded expectation (although I was going to bed after third, but saw Felicity Smoak was in ep 4 so had to carry on...). Much lighter than Arrow with some rubbish dialogue and plenty of cliches and the back story arc idea running through it but still enjoyable.
