Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
So I’m watching the first night of the new show Expedition Africa, and on the first day, their very first decision was to travel nine miles inland into Tanzania without any water. “We’ll just get some water when we get to our destination,” and off they charged into the wild. They also have one explorer whose job title is “navigator,” and presumably he is along to navigate the party, and NONE OF THEM LISTEN TO HIM.
I’m thinking we should probably start a pool on how many of them die.
Chuck
Just thought I would throw that out there. Sure, it is silly, and immature, and dorky, and that is what I like about it. I’m actually having more fun with this show than I have in a while.
My brother and I agree that one scene from season one may be some of the funniest stuff we’ve seen on television in a long while, if only because of the inane conversations my mother, brother and I have. At any rate, Chuck was accusing Casey (Adam Baldwin, aka Jane from Firefly), of enjoying the surveillance he was doing of Chuck. Casey then went and played back a conversation he had recorded of Chuck and his friend, in which they discussed what kind of sandwich they would take on a desert island, and it devolved into an argument over whether or not Jessica Alba between two slices of bread counted as a sandwich. I was laughing so hard I was crying, because I have had thousands of conversations like this with my brother and mom.
Again, what a fun show
Also, completely unrelated, but I was thinking a homemade cilantro ice cream would go really well as a side to a particularly spicy Thai or Mexican dish. What do you think of that?
When I started reading Pratchett, you all came up with this handy guide for reading order.
A friend wants to start watching BSG, and my viewing has been so spotty that I can’t remember to tell him what to watch first. What is the definitive order for viewing, including any miniseries and what not?
I’m really liking it so far, and I give it a thumbs up.
This is where a dozen of you armchair Eberts jam the comments with remarks that I have no taste, that so and so was a much better show and that it was first done in an obscure series that no one but someone really cool like you remembers, and that Southland really sucks.
