I forgot to address the six legged monkey crawl! How careless of me. What do you guys think it entails?
Redvector:
The viewership is steady, 2.75m viewers for the pilot compared to 2.15m for last week's episode "A well respected man". So there wasn't a massive drop off at any point so far.
I hear ya Monkeyfoot - You're totally right about shows I know I love from the past taking a while.
I agree with you list in large part Mike, but I'm certain my order would be different. Well done though.
Blankczech -You've Got Geek typically focuses on the Scifi, fantasy, video games, comics end of the spectrum, but we're also cinema geeks in general, so we usually spend time disucssing whatever the big release movie of the week is and any big news stories from the world of movies (even if it isn't genre specific).
No spoilers in this post, CalamityJohnson, just an answer to your question: I wish all shows could be awesome. It would make reviewing shows even mroe fun. But not every episode can be exceptional, unfortunately (even if you go back to a CLASSIC series like the original STAR TREK). Still, that doesn't mean we shouldn't cover it. It's out job to let you guys know what is good as well as what is not. The show has a great many good ideas, some of the execution over the past two episodes has been spotty, but the first two episodes got better Mania grades. Anyway, I plan to give Hannibal a look once I get some down time, it sounds like you love it. Cheers! -Chuck
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Cloud Atlas. Bob your description of the wide range of opinions is spot on. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did Kim like it too?
Karas, I personally get a kick out of the historcally sourced artifacts; it's a big perk of the show for me. But I can completely understand that it's not everyone's bag. I'm right there with you about the guest star power that they bring in all the time. It's great to see great scifi talents in something recent.
:)
There's so many amazing moments to choose from, they really it probably comes down to how you first experienced them to make the choice. I think it's time for a marathon viewing session.

Karas -Ooooohhh, Destroy All Monsters is just so much fun. my favorite Rodan is actually the original.
