Apologie accepted... Captain Needa.

It was a bit slow to start with but by the end, it really gets there. It felt like watching one of the novels, one of the better ones, not Crystal Star.

Mads Mikkelsen was good as Qwi Xux

Has anyone been watching the National Geographic Mars series?

Hey, Whatcha playin' ?

See, I turned Spy off about an hour in.

You are right, it does feel like a sitcom, which is not helped by the fact that all the cast are from one sitcom or SNL and usually turn up in the same handful of mainstream comedies.

I did think it odd that nothing in the first hour happened at night and the subway sequence did seem rather off.

We had a little experiment with live broadcasts on facebook with after a few snags actually works rather well. We'll no doubt give it a go next time we do a commentary.

Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in participating in.

This We...Month we're discussing Twenty years of the N64.

124 'N64 at Twenty'

My favourite Blair Witch fact -- they returned the video camera to the store for a refund after shooting, someone out there has the camera and doesn't even know it.

Discovery has been put back until May 2017 which is frustrating but on the flipside, maybe if Voyager had come out in May 1995 we'd still be talking about it?

Just watched Bourne, the stakes were certainly too low. The problem with Bourne is he has no relationships with anyone, they tried to force a relationship with his father here which just doesn't come close to working. They are not prepared to let the character grow and move on so we just go round in circles as Bourne outsmarts various CIA cliches film after film.

The first three films tied into what was in the zeitgeist at the time in terms of surveillance culture which turned out to have some grounding with the Snowdon documents and Wikileaks however, this film only uses them as touchstones and not actual plot points, it really wants to have something to say but simply doesn't.

I can't quite believe this is Greengrass as it feels like another director coming in to do the sequel. (Don't get me wrong, it's better than the Jeremy Renner one that I only got half an hour into.)

The first film is a nice piece of cinema, the second is an abomination against narrative structure and then the third one wraps things up pretty nicely.

I'm not saying that I expect every mainstream film to have a message but occasionally they do and can put a light on things that are happening in the world and in doing so raise their game, this film started to do that and then just didn't bother.

So yesterday Bryan Fuller spoke at CBS All Access panel for the television critics Association and it's the first time that he is given us pretty much any information In short of that fact that the series will be set in the prime timeline and the recent footage of the year ship one of the first thing he said was that the lead character is not going to be the Captain and is a human female with the rank of Lt Commander. This  which will give it a West Wing kind of vibe anywhere in the early seasons you didn't see much from the president's point of view.

Most of the speculation since we found out it's in the prime timeline has been when exactly it will be set, With the ships registry number people rightly guessed it sets before the original series and he has now said it's going to be 10 years before Kirk's series which is actually pretty close to when the new movies are taking place in that, Only four years and ahead of this.

There're a couple of things he's ruled out completely when not going to see the Kobayashi Maru or the battle of Axanar nor the Earth-Romulan War. It's definitely set closer to Kirks time then to Archers
He is also said that we going to see a very diverse crew and we're definitely getting gay characters as well as the more ethnicities than we've seen in previous shows

A couple of other things he hinted at was the character of Amanda Grayson might make an appearance as Spock's mother he's also suggested we might see something of section 31 the black ops division first seen in Star Trek deep space nine but later in enterprise and into darkness

So the new series has a name, a ship (looks like an old Ralph Mcquarrie design) and it's only bloody confirmed to be in the prime time line!
