Yup.

That reminds me: is there going to be a BFQ of Everything this year?

[K]

I'm rewatching Castle for some reason. Good stuff.

I thought Castle was really good, particularly in the early seasons. It fell away a bit towards the end.

that's last year's btw. this year's airs in march iirc

and put me down for the "ugh jonathan ross is in this? fineeee, whatever" camp

[tristy]

I have no sense of when these things air, or even how they get away with saying fuck and whatnot, so thanks for the clarification. FWIW, that BFQ of Everything I posted... I didn't like it so much. Not nearly as much as the BFQ of the Year for 2021.

And I like Jonathan Ross, maybe it's because I haven't seen him in a whole hell of a lot besides these things.

he's an executive producer on the show, and out of the first ten years he only missed one, so yeah I think it has more to do with overexposure (and that's coming from a non-brit, I'm sure its even worse over there). but if you haven't checked out the backlog of shows I definitely recommend them, they're generally good fun!

[Josh]

I actually don't mind him outside of BFQ and he's often fine even there, if a bit eyeroll-inducing. His looong bit this year was just too much for me, especially when he steamrolled his partner. The only BFQ regular that I dislike more often than not (when he's on BFQ) is Rob Brydon. He's fine enough on Would I Lie to You and whatnot, but he has such gratingly pedantic energy on BFQ.

The last two seasons were mostly....meh. 

I'm loving Fillion's current show, The Rookie.

[Cymbols]

The last couple of seasons of The Rookie have dipped for me. First two seasons were great. Still pretty decent, just not nearly as good.

Surprised it's Raylan focused but I won't complain!

 

 

 

 

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, I kind of wish Raylan wasn't seemingly going to be the main character but whatever, I'll take more Justified.

[Gabriel]

The first three episodes of Peacemaker are up on HBO Max in the States and Crave in Canada.

We watched the first two last night, and they were fun as hell. John Cena and James Gunn are a match made in film heaven.

Also, it has one of my favorite intros of all time... and unsurprisingly for a Gunn product, the soundtrack is a banger.

I see it's inspired by a British series, Murder in Successville. Brits, is that show any good?

Bleh, I will watch it cause I loved Justified, but I felt that ended perfectly and really doesn't need any continuation or spin-off or whatever.

Look, the ending to Justified was absolutely perfect but I cannot turn my nose up at more Raylan goodness.

[DFF]

Really enjoyed the final season of The Expanse. Gotta say it's one of my all time favourite shows. 

[GhostMachine]

NBC may be reviving Quantum Leap, but as a sequel series with a new cast (ie, like the new Fantasy Island). Hopefully they get Scott Backula onboard and resolve the original show's shitty ending.

Oh man, Quantum Leap and Sliders are the two shows I've been begging for some kind of revival of for years. Love that concept so much.
