    I liked Bill Paxton in Agents of Shield.

    He didn't so much chew the scenery as open his gaping maw to reveal an industrial wood chipper.

    phil fish actually summed up a lot of my feelings this morning fairly well

    philfishmeltdown2.jpg

    is he mad about anything in particular or just kind of firehosing his spleen everywhere

    I think more critical thinking about videogames is a good thing, but this sort of thing is not that and moreover strikes me as crass

    phil fish is definitely crass

    but all that was in response to the quinn stuff posted above

    phil fish is generically mad atm, afaik

    in another age his secretary would apologetically tell the press that Mr. Fish has had a nervous breakdown and has gone for a retreat, but this is the age of twitter so one gets to disintegrate in public

    It's raining and there are lots of German flags. I'm not sure why there has been a post World Cup outburst of flags.

    I don't think the cast knew about all the twists in the last third of the show when they started, so
    Ward's personality vacuum is less a matter of diabolical planning than the character being kinda boring.

    Could be wrong, though. I think if you're going to slow burn you need to make all the weekly stuff that's happening pick up the slack and be top-notch, and I think AoS failed in that regard for two thirds of its run. It's nowhere near as shaky as, say, the first couple of seasons of TNG or the first season of B5.

    I'm four episodes in and it seems like perfectly watchable episodic television

    there's certainly a lot of formula. we learn a bit of backstory about a character and then within five minutes that bit of backstory becomes crucial to the plot. a couple of people have a conflict, and then at the end of the show, they sit in the car and exchange banter that shows they have resolved the conflict. sometimes there is a little sting in the tail to hint at something ominous for later.

    but the plots are reasonably clever sci-fi twists on action show/secret agent standards and the actors are getting to show a bit more of their range.

    people were talking like this was the antichrist and really it's just kind of old-fashioned at first. in 1999 this would have been riveting television. if it gets better, I'm sure I'll be quite satisfied.

    I kind of want to watch Fringe again. I got a third into season three and then I just stopped watching it.

    Are you off to Lon-Don again, japan? You seem to have started commuting there. From Birmingham. Which is a bold strategy.

    @Mojo_Jojo

    Nah, back in.brum today

    I just work for a company that blithely assumes everything has to happen in London

    I went to a.meeting last week (in London) where none of the attendees were based anywhere south of Birmingham. Couldn't get a meeting room, apparently, so instead shipped six people to the other end of the country

    I do have to be back in London for 9am in a couple of weeks, and I bet they make me get the six am train, the shits.

    Also I have actually, after a long series of delays, started to catch up with The Honourable Woman on the iPlayer. I think I have to watch the entire series in the next ten days before it disappears. It's pretty great, and Maggie Gyllenhall's English accent is very good indeed.

    I'm expecting at least five scenes where they go "we invented this incredibly high-tech gadget" and then they pull out a fridge-sized version of something already seen in Agents of SHIELD that fits in your palm.

    So I played Rayman Legends until I unlocked Castle Rock

    Then I played that level about a dozen times

    I fee like there's nothing else the game could possibly offer that is better than a platforming version of Black Betty.
