I'm a 1/3 of the way through episode 2. It's really very low rent. I'll give the rest of this episode a go, and then next week, but if it hasn't picked up considerably I'll give up on it and go back to watching Falling Skies and Revolution.

Episode 2 was loads of fun, you loon.

And yes, the very end was brilliant :)

Forgetting to watch it is probably more time efficient. If you were to remember to watch it you would only forget that you had done about two minutes after it ends.

It's fucking dull isn't it? I know Coulson is supposed to be unassuming but he is also entirely uncharismatic, just like everyone else in it. I dunno, maybe I'm expecting too much but without a Marvel license and Whedon's name attached this would struggle to even get picked up by Channel 5.

Post subject:  Re: Agents of Shield

The second episode was better than the first in some ways and worse in others which isn't brilliant. After we thought it had finished Mrs B proclaimed it had one more episode to hook her or it was getting ditched; which was instantly upgraded to a two episode grace period after the actual final scene.

The idea of dropping this so you can spend more time watching Falling Skies is just 8) though. Hell, the idea of spending less time hammering nails into your dick so you can watch more Falling Skies would still be madness.

Why don't you switch off your TV set, go out and do something less boring instead?

Post subject:  Re: Agents of Shield

The very last scene of ep2 was awesome.

Also, I really like Coulson.

Also also, I think they need to make sure that the overarching story lines (Coulson's death, girl's allegiance, etc) get decent amounts of air time, and it not just be a MotW type thing every week.

That's one of the things they're at least trying to do right; most new US shows would be pure MotW for the whole first season (essentially until they see if they'll even get a second season to make it worthwhile) but they've baked a couple of over-arching plots in here right from the first minute. As you say though, it's whether they spend any real time on them that's the crux.

I just don't want them to fanny around and get cancelled before we find out WTF is going on.

Falling Skies is *very* boring up to that point, then it takes off.

It's definitely worth persevering with. It's non-too-subtly the American War of Independence with the English played by aliens, but it's good stuff.

I've used it for years now, with no spyware infestations. No installations needed. It aggregates links to other streaming services - the best are the likes of putlocker and sockshare.

Channel motherfucking 4. What the fuck only 7 days online per episode?

Why the fuck would they accept that licence? It's not even worth the fucking money surely?

They should just shut everything but 4 and 4+1 and spend more on online licences.

Now I'm just going to have to wait for it to be on Netflix and fuck 4 in the face, the only thing I want to watch on it and I fucking can't.

I'm not as angry as all the naughty words might suggest.

If torrenting is effort, I think you're doing it wrong.

You can join my PlexServer if you like. It hates you unless your name isn't "Craster", and then it works quite well.

If you're starting from scratch you have to get the client, too, and possibly some codecs to make it go, so it is a little more effort that 4od.

4oD makes you sit through 5 hours of adverts for every 10 minutes of telly, so you need to balance it out.

Streaming online isn't illegal for the person watching it (thank you UK court system!), which is why it's great.

yes, much less effort than sitting of the sofa, pressing the ps3 button on the remote, pressing Netflix, pressing up/down/left/right a couple of time and 'ok'.

All of which I'd have to do in addition to the steps you gave.

The legality thing is a minor issue.

So we're still talking a difference in pure effort that can be measured in seconds or, at worst, a couple of minutes for the sake of not waiting months to watch something. However this conversation went beyond the point of actually having a point a good few posts ago so it's probably best we both just stop talking about it.

Okay, fair enough, I apologise for implying you're not a normal human being; it was just a bit of colourful phrasing not intended to have any actual meaning behind it and I'm sorry if I've caused any offence.

There was a case in the last year or so that made it clear that the temp caching of something isn't "copying" for the purposes of the copyrights and whatsits act.

It makes sense, as otherwise you've got no idea whether you're allowed to be watching a particular thing on Youtube.
