And she's down! So Third Sister had her own plan. Are they planning to bring this to a season 2? Looks like it.

I hope you do, @Shady ! It's been rather good. This week's was a disorienting one, but very watchable all the same. The ship does seem to have a habit of picking up signals that lead to danger, though, you'd think they'd learn their lesson by now.

It's not bad, a bit one joke though. World's Greatest Dad is the definitive Bobcat Goldthwait directed film, I'd say. Need a strong sense of humour for that one. I think the film you're looking for is The Dark Backward, mind you.

Does a horse drag the carrot, or a man running faster than a horse drag the carrot?

Oh yeah, and Stephen King? Bit of a stretch, I think.

Part 2 didn't disappoint, this is multiple witness time or it's multiple freak out time, maybe a bit of both. Weird things going on with sound in this story. I don't buy the theory the fisherman was benign. If there was a presence, it wanted them the Hell out of there. And it's a...

Yes, the radio voice seemed to be priming them all for the worst (in their minds). Might have been a contributing factor in their terror. But maybe not the only one.

If the horse didn't have a rider, how would it know where to go?

As if the story of George Reeves' death wasn't mysterious enough without him turning into a ghost as well. Also: typecasting can be a terrible thing.

Not just sun exposure, but intense heat over a number of days or weeks is not good for the elderly.

The minister at my local church was heckled a few years ago during the Christmas midnight service by a man who had to be escorted from the premises. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

I was listening to something on the radio about the Indian burial ground trope, and the Native American scholar discussing it pointed out the whole of North America is an Indian burial ground.

Be careful, @charliebrown .

Proof if proof were needed - a man can run faster than a horse: News story This seems to be a cross country thing, so long distance, but the principle is the same. It's a contest held since 1980.

Just caught up with the Canadian Horror Story, a very strong episode with plenty of back and forth between the sceptic and the believer. But what a great story! One nightmare I could believe, but it ends on a cliffhanger leading into Part 2 (released next Monday) where there's even more. The...

Actual monster movie episode this week, reminded me a bit of Event Horizon. Thought it was going to be a boring relationship story, but could not have been more wrong. They're certainly racking up the baddies.

Really good episode this week, best so far. Proper suspense, good action, those snowspeeder things from Empire (repurposed). All cool!

Now we lament the passing of the chamber pot.

They did say that in the reports I heard.

Escargot was running rampant a bit, maybe she's taking a breather. She won't be the first.

I'm afraid this is all closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. It looks as if he was tortured by bad men and his body was later dumped by them. We'll never know why, unless someone comes forward (unlikely now).

The point is, while it's easy to get over monkey pox, its a lot more difficult to get over Ebola, for example, and this outbreak can be used as a test case for some worse disease that may hit us in the future and may not be as easy on our systems. Plus Covid has made everyone paranoid to...

The main reason the UFO explanation was offered was because Adamski shared his surname with that of George Adamski, once-famous UFO contactee. But it seems Zigmund may have been involved with some dodgy geezers, which doesn't explain everything, but if gangsters were connected they've long...

Tonka the chimp appeared in a few movies and TV shows, such as the Alan Cumming comedy Buddy, but for the past year was reported missing. There were rewards offered from PETA and Cumming, but now it turns out the animal had a stroke and its owner faked its death (!). Full story: News story...

That doesn't happen in the Leonard Rossiter short film about him... (I assume it's accurate).

Willy's Wonderland had Nic Cage doing silent acting. This WtP shite has a bunch of nobodies. Advantage: WW.

It was great how the whole episode had that "reasonable dread" atmosphere of a PIF, and the cartoons were spot on. Oh, and it's been renewed for two more series!

Crikey, Darth knows how to hold a grudge, huh? In other news, Moses Ingram, who plays the most interesting character very well (Third Sister), is being subjected to racist taunts online by cowards for being black in an established franchise. Please don't do that.

The Orville was back for its third season on Disney+ (or Hulu), and it was a bit of a epic. A lot more downbeat than I was expecting, but ends on a note of hope. We have a new bridge crewmember and she may be trouble. I'm interested to see where it goes from here.

We've all seen dads open a kitchen cupboard and start demanding "Where's the beans?!" only to have it pointed out to them the beans are right in front of them on the shelf.

That's an old one! Urban myth, as mentioned on these boards a while back.

Oh, we were in for that in 1977.

Watched the first episode of Obi-Wan. Pretty solid basis for the series, but Leia as a brat is a tricky proposition. Glad they finally got away from Tatooine.

But this isn't interesting, it's taking children's characters beloved for almost a century and pissing all over them for cheap thrills. There has already been a recent film that took a look at the dark side of Winnie the Pooh that treated the characters with respect. It wasn't so great, but it...

My uncle was a lifelong smoker, died in his 60s of emphysema.

Ever read The Monkey's Paw? A cautionary tale.

Looks about as shit as the Banana Splits horror movie. We're living in the age of the cultural vandal.

Jessica was great, wasn't she? Totally didn't see that ending coming. They said on the podcast they were wary of turning it into a Black Mirror episode, but I think they got away with it. They succeeded in the painful domestic stuff, and threw in a bit of No9 craziness with it.

Probably give you a hell of a paper cut, too.

What if the matches fall in a puddle or wet patch?

Can't imagine how it would smell after a couple of days, mind you.

I doubt the target audience were that bothered by the distinction, TBH.

Well, Jeanette Charles is still alive...

It's pretty stupid, pretty boring. The villains are CND, who want to set off a nuclear warhead. That's The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Who want to set off a nuclear bomb.

They've just ditched a few pages of adverts, the amount of content is still the same.

Or Catcher in the Rye, a one-time favourite of assassins.

Unfortunate phrasing!

Haven't seen The Harrad Experiment because it's so difficult to find uncut, but Stanley Sweetheart is hippy-dippy daftness with the emphasis on free love, and Zachariah wants to be Hair but isn't, though I don't usually turn my nose up at an acid Western.

When my Mum went on holiday to the Highlands, she basically had macaroni cheese every night.

Wait a minute - Su Pollard is a psychic now?! What's next, Christopher Biggins as a spoon bender?
