Things I have enjoyed watching lately are Sherlock (I liked the on-screen devices they used and the updating to current day, plus the actors), Toy Story 3 (as fun and moving and gorgeous to look at as the others), The Big Bang Theory (I've almost seen it all so far; woe!) and a new local SF series called This Is Not My Life.

I'm afraid that I can't help much with your TBBT question. Maybe the writers, having thought of a good gag about Sheldon's hatred of Fox's president, couldn't resist using it.
The last episode of series 3 aired here last Thursday, so I've now caught up with American viewers. I can't believe that there were really 23 episodes; it only seemed like half as many. Series 4 debuts in America in September; I imagine it will be a month or two after that over here. I'm sure that there must be at least one LJ community for the show in LJ, but I haven't dared to join it for fear of spoilers.

I also wonder why all the guys dress in layers when it must be pretty warm in Pasadena most of the time. I should add that. Maybe it's a nerd thing to do that; not here, it'd just be themed t-shirt and jeans or even shorts in summer.

But I can't figure out his issue with B5.
Next season should start soon, right?
Reply
Yeah, he might like River, but she's more a fighter. However that could fit with his liking for superheroes. I'd have thought he'd enjoy the aliens in B5.
BTW, I forgot to ask, but you should be able to tell me. Why do all the guys wear so many clothes? Surely Pasadena is pretty warm all year round, or at least in summer?
Reply
Maybe he doesn't like B5 because of the recurring religious themes? But when gods and angels are advanced species, I think that would sit well with his atheism.
As for the clothing, my guess is, "in game", they are all kind of anemic. Out of context, I would guess that the actors, being actors, are all well fit and they don't want good musculature evident on the 'nerds'.

Excellent points about the clothing. I couldn't bear to where that much in summer though. It's almost too much for my winter.

I missed the first episode of the new series on One, but apparently it's going to be repeated tonight, which is good. :)
I have seen the town it was filmed in, and it creeped me out. Brr. :(

Wow, talk about a limited palette. 0_o I wonder if wearing a red jumper would get you a free 'visit' to the Wellness Centre.
Creepiest moment - after the teenager was 'treated', our hero noticed his photos had been altered to reflect the new haircut. Needless to say, there are a lot of mindgames going on.

Did you notice bullet holes in one wall of Alec's perfect house? That was odd because he didn't seem to.

The dressing in layers - I was going to say it's because of the temperature fluctuations but then realized Pasadena is Southern Cali, not northern. So... no idea about the layers. :o)

I think the theory that they want to hide how fit the actors are is the best so far. :-)
