I also enjoyed their use of Killer Moth in the show, Neron didn't get used but I think this worked just as fine and as practical. The thing is whether people feel he's an insult to the comics or not, Burton's vision of Penguin is VERY popular. It was a magnificent performance and a magnificent portrayal by DeVito.

Penguin's deformality is the key to him being called the Penguin, he can be refined or filthy but in the end, it's those physical deforms that make him unique so it's no surprise they'd focus on it so much. Clock King wasn't a boss situation but it was very similar, it was still anger pointed towards an "spiting" man.

The series often left too many easy reasons to be evil by simply blaming "someone else". It works for some like the Mad hatter and Mr. Freeze but for someone as smart as the Riddler, it just seemed so petty to turn to a life of crime over losing your job. Especially considering what happened to Hatter and Freeze.

I mean they REALLY lost everything and for Riddler to follow a similar formula it just didn't sit right with me. But like i always say, there are things I liked in Batman: AS, and there are things The Batman did that I liked that AS didn't come up with. One thing I admire is their bringing back old D grade villains.

Guys like Ragdoll, Gearhead and Black Mask are a real treat to see. Btw, I suggest we might want to take this discussion to the "Batman" thread monk as this is veering off course and speaking of which, the last Tv I have watched tonight would be:

"Invader Zim"

Sure thing. The last show I watched was Shin Chan.

Bag on the dub all you want, but I love this irreverent little show which just got first season last week after going through a test phase last summer. IF you're willing to turn off your brain for some crude but sometimes clever humor I suggest watching this show.

The Samurai, on the History Channel. The title tells you what it's about. It's an excellent documentary; I was surprised by how little I really knew about that part of Japanese culture.

shin-chan. i dont know why i like it. just funny show.

The Office - Hot Girl (Season One)

Survivor. Go Earl!:D

Painkiller Jane


This show rocks :bloogrin:

Law and Order - Who let the dogs out?

What a powerful episode. Sad, dramatic, and dark, this was probably one of the most powerful episodes I've ever seen of this show.

Seriously, seriously good stuff.

grey's anatomy...god i love that show. it just keeps getting better and better!!!

Sailor Moon Live, episodes 1 through... 49. Yeah, I watched them all over the last few days, every last episode. Did I mention that my computer crashed Wednesday morning? Well, now you know what I've been doing to occupy my time.

I admit it, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It didn't feel like Sailor Moon much of the time, though; it felt more like a soap opera. The characters were different, too; Sailor Mars, for instance, seemed less hotheaded but more sullen. The villians looked almost nothing like the originals from the anime classic; there was more intrigue between them, too, more infighting. The show had a lot of silly moments, and a lot of very dramatic moments, and one moment that left me stunned and speechless (until the next episode, when I found out the writers were just torturing me, and in the worst possible way). The background material about what had happened on the moon a thousand years ago was different, too, and not fully explained to my liking, although that may simply be the result of sub-par translation, which was pretty bad in some of the episodes. It might've helped a lot if I understood Japanese.

I can't say this was a great series, but it wasn't bad, not bad at all as far as I'm concerned. It had a lot of heart, and it definitely grew on me as it played out over the past few days. "Endearing" is how I'd define it, for lack of a better word, and I will gladly watch it again someday. Of course, I've still got the 200 original episodes to go through, too; hopefully I'll do so without a computer breakdown to prompt me. :)

Oh, one other thing... Due to a mistranslation, all of the subtitles refer to Queen Beryl as "Queen Berry". Now that's scary! :scaryberry:

Geez Cass! Go hiking! Go kayaking! Get a dog or something, dude!

49 episodes... :wiltshock:

Hey, don't mock sitting through series, I do that all the time. I spent the last 3 or 4 nights watching Sonic the hedgehog's SATam cartoon series on DVD. It is in my opinion, one of the 3 greatest, amazing, beautiful, and well written cartoon shows I have ever seen in my entire life.

It took them over freaking 10 years to finally release this show on DVD and it felt like an eternity for me. I have always loved this show and it's characters, I've been inspired by this cartoon from the first day I saw it, and it's thanks to the powerful emotions, storylines, and incredible characters that helped me get into fan fiction and become the writer I am today.

It also is what got me hooked on the Sonic the hedgehog comic books from Archie, which I've been a collector/subscriber of since May of 1993. By the way, in case anyone was wondering what I considered the other 2 "greatest, amazing, beautiful, and well written cartoon shows I have ever seen in my entire life", they would be Darkwing Duck and Beast Wars.

A close, close, CLOSE 3rd was Batman: the animated series.

My building doesn't allow pets, and it's been raining all week. ::)

It could be worse, I guess. I've seen some scary things done with the whole L's-versus-R's deal. They could have called her Queen Belly.

family guy - airport '07

not much, just the same stuff as most other episodes.

Heroes

This show is great. I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode, and I don't even have a chair. As a comic fan I should already know the twists and turns, but somehow they still surprise me.

I cannot wait for the dvd.

Same here, I just got done watching this and it is one phenominal show. I didn't expect this show to survive all of NBC's fall chopping block nor did i expect it to become as big and popular as it has become.

They keep making it interesting and they keep making it fresh, every time I get a handle on it they whip out something new and amazing to thrill me. Sylar is by far one of the coolest villains I've seen on TV, he's a great bad ass.

I second that emotion. He is the creepiest as well. This show has more twists than the endings of an M. Night Shamylan movie... but in a good way. Heroes = Love.

Most Awesomely Rediculusly (Can't Spell) Celebrity Moments on VH1.

last t.v show i watched was the oc :')

Ben 10 - Lucky Girl

This was definately Gwen's shining moment! I loved how in the end she recorded Ben saying, 'Gwen, you did a good job', and then tormenting him with it! 8D

I actually disliked this episode....alot. On one hand, I liked seeing Gwen stand in the spotlight and I loved the new villain Hexx. But i felt this episode was WAY too anti-Ben, there was alot more unnecessary bashing then necessary bashing.

I think this episode really ripped on him and it wasn't needed in most of the scenes. Oh yeah:

Last Tv show I watched - Boston Legal: Tea and Sympathy

I don't blame you. Everyone has different opinions. As much as I like Ben, Gwen stands out for me.

I don't dislike Gwen, I just wish they would not make Ben-bashing a regular theme on the show. Even if Ben wasn't my favorite character it bothers me when any show makes it a running gag to continuously rag on one person.

I will NEVER watch the Ben 10 episode "Midnight Madness" again because that's just pure Ben hate. However, I felt Gwen's Lucky girl worked WAY better in the semi sequel episode they had with "Tough luck". I liked that one ALOT better.

I just wish Ben and Gwen got along a tad bit more then usual, or at the very least, try to balance out the "bashing" or picking on.

fresh prince. :)

oh yeah, and this is the one where carltons ex-girlfriend comes in and aperantly got a kid out of it. one of my favorites

Last show I watched was the Atlanta-Philadelphia baseball game last night. Atlanta won, 4-3. Last non-sports show: The Colbert Report.

24. Not much action this time out, mostly internal politics at the White House and at CTU. Still makes a great show, though. :)

The Office

Women's safety day, it was HILARIOUS!!! ;D This has one of the best Dwight pranks, and I swear I was laughing so hard through out the whole episode.

Excellent episode, just excellent :D.

I just finished the new episode of Scrubs. I felt realy bad for JD. Janitor wondering who God was made me giggle. And yes I said giggle.

Ditto Scrubs. To be honest, I've felt that this season has largely been a little weak, but that last one was really very good; funny, well-structured and heartfelt, the way Scrubs should be. :) Seems like the Elliot/JD saga has been reignited, and I'm surprised by how well it worked; it had gotten too convoluted before, and I was pleased that they had apparently retired the plotline at the end of Season Three, but it just seemed right to reintroduce it at this point. If this develops the way I suspect it might, we could be in for a humdinger of a seaon finale! :D

Most important though, this episode made me laugh a lot more than it has recently. The Janitor's ponderings about God made me laugh, as was Turk's rage about having to fantasise about his own wife. Best moment for me though was Kelso's anecdote about his wife...

"Everybody in the room OK with pretending that never happened?" 8D

I watched Naruto just a hour ago. A very good episode too.:D

I was watching Hope and Faith before i went into town =)

Just finished a DVD episode of Dastardly & Muttley In Their Flying Machines. Before that, the Foster's pilot movie House Of Bloo's.

Just finished watching The Batman's Season Four finale, "The Joining: Parts 1 and 2". Overall, really good episodes, but ones that left me with serious reservations about the future of the show...I'll go into more detail on in the appropriate thread.

Sailor Moon, the original version, episodes 10-12. These are much better translated than the live series. Each disk in the complete anime set runs a little over an hour and contains three episodes, including those that were never seen in the US because the censors were less mature than the target audience. Episode 10 introduced Sailor Mars. I don't know what it is about this series that fascinates me so much. It's often silly, especially in the earlier episodes, the animation isn't the world's best, and some of the characters occasionally get on my nerves, but I love every minute of it. :)

Law and Order : Judge Dread

Man I love this show. Yes it's long running, and yes there are like 40 other courtroom, cop TV shows running around but this show always catches my attention. I love the writing on this show, they have some amazingly powerful stories and I LOVE Sam Waterston, he's a damn fine actor.

Btw Cass, ain't nothing wrong with Sailor moon. I've just been watching over the original dub recently and I still love this show. I think the animation is actually pretty nice and the characters i find are the heart of the show. Sailor Moon has incredibly deep character development, right now I'm in the "Rini/Wiseman saga".

I never got that far; the local channel that was carrying the show at the time dropped it a week into Rini & Wiseman in favor of reruns of Three's Company. They never showed the Doomtree Saga at all. The characters are wonderful and have a lot of depth, I have no argument with that at all; I do think they got off to kind of a slow start, however. But I already know what's coming up in the rest of the first season, and I'm eagerly looking forward to it, and even more to the later seasons that I've never seen at all. :)

I'd start a Sailor Moon thread, but I think it would just be you, me, and an occasional post by a few other members. 8D

So? :bloogrin: Support is support no matter how many or how few you have to back it up.

Btw, the last TV show i watched was a second view of "Cheese a go-go" from Foster's naturally.

The last show I watched was 20 to 1.

It was a special episode. It was called 50 to 1: Great Movie One Liners. Any guesses on what was #1? ;)

Just like a a Malone to bring a knife to a gunfight.
