I've seen all 4, but if you quizzed me I doubt I could even give you a plot summary.


This, all the way up to 11.

I can't even recall the names the other two not mentioned on this page.


Me neither actually :lol:

Bender's Game and Into The Wild Green Yonder.

I think being back at 30 minute length will help it return to it's former glory.

I quite enjoyed the feature length Futurama films. Not as good as the series but still had some good laughs, especially Bender's Game.

just watched the season1 finale of NCIS LA, and while it promoised some insight as to who G Callen was, we didnt get any at all apart from he has a dead sister and a father who likes watching him through a camera lense. shall see if Season 2 brings any light to this character as he is so under used and has a lot of potential compared to LL Cool J's over used character who i wish would go away for a while to let the other characters have some breathing space.

Apparently Clarkson, May and Hammond might be leaving Top Gear soon. Granted the show is in need of a shakeup but that has the potential to go horribly wrong. Knowing the BBC the replacements will be Dale Winton, Fearne Cotton and some numpty off Eastenders.

Same here. I'm pretty sure that 99% of its viewers will feel the same.

I doubt they'll leave, unless they're ousted by the BBC or something. Jeremy for one loves pissing environmentalists off too much to quit now. :lol:

Just watched the season finale of V , season 2 is going to be epic, and they have increased the budget for it , so the fx should be a tad better :yes:

It was a little awkward, but I agree. Loved the opening bit with the hypnotoad. :lol:

Supernatural ended a bit oddly. they seemed to rush the last 2 Horsemen so they could get to the end of the storyline. im intrigued as to how they will explain the cliff hanger. the final season should be good.

Not been able to find the 2nd episode, anyone kind enough to pass a link to me?

First episode was good. Hypnotoad opening is brilliant. Plot was a bit convoluted, but they had to get around the movie ending really.m Overall, a C+. I will not destroy the earth, but neither will I give the producers the secret to immortality.

(Srsly, 8/10 though. Good sign for the rest of the series.)
