Ya heard it was class. Have it lined up for tonight.

Still haven't watched last week's episode, will rectify tonight.

The Aliens show is good, like!
But I'm not getting why everyone is going on about it being the best thing since sliced bread.
I get that people are fanboys and all but the show is just grand, like.

Loads of suspense, not a lot of pace, and a few plot holes.
And my 'spoiler' gripe on the previous page still very much stands after watching the latest episode.

But I did like the twist at the end of the episode with the...

I'm about to go on to ep5 and I have to agree with you. It's a bit over hyped and drawn out. It doesn't have the sense of claustrophobia of the movies. It's good, not great.

Aye. Solid 8 out of 10 for me. Episode 5 is the best so far. Really harks back to the vibe of the first movies.

The POV chase scenes through the corridor was a nice nod to Alien³.


I'm still holding out hope that the draw the series has received will get Disney to greenlight Isolation as another miniseries.

Watching The Terminal List with Chris Pratt. Army thriller stuff. 5 episodes in. Pretty darn good. Story taking good twists and action is bloody fantastic. Has a Heat style shootout as well. (Obviously not as good as the Heat one. Christ that's amazing)  :abbath:

New series of King of the Hill. Bit bizarre.

Yeah! Tha was a good series.

I'm watching the prequel one at the moment. Not as good, but still entertaining enough.

There's a pretty fun Predator sight gag with Schwarzenegger's young fella near the start too.

It's a corny as fuck series, great action choreography with all the fancy room clearance and tactical reloads. Will give the prequel a go tomorrow when I need something stupid to watch while hungover.

Alien Earth is still progressing nicely and have to reiterate how good a job they've done with the VFX overall.
Still though, those outro tunes...so far, the tunes themselves are grand but completely out of place, but this week...fucking Godsmack of all things!! Hadn't a clue who it was initially but had a sneaking suspicion as soon as the bargain-basement Alice in Chains vocals kicked in. Why??

Last week's episode was the best so far, a real nod to the original film. Yet to see this week's but yeah, the closing credit songs are totally jarring.

Olyphant has said his hair is a nod to Hauer's in Blade Runner, I'm assuming the Tyrell Corporation will appear at some point.

The only black mark against the show!
