Indeed.

Totally wasted of course.


Yes, and it didn't help that:

a) The "Trip" character was a charmless redneck who loved himself.

b) The anti-Vulcan "green-blooded son of a bitch" xenophobic shit was there from the outset (150 years in the future - how depressing)

c) The sexy Vulcan shit was done to death. Look boys - tits and camel toe without tantrums, and a shower scene. Yawn.
It's PETUNIAS TIME again, folks!!!

Regardless, everything he is in is shit.

Even if he's got about 2 minutes of screen time in it, I wouldn't call American Beauty a shit movie. :grin:

The Big Bang Theory.

I watched the first season and hated it after that. :P

Yah, I don't understand why I'm supposed to find it funny. Maybe I'm not nerdy enough to chortle along to the geek culture references and laugh track.

Yeah, me neither. Even when I get the geek references, I don't find them funny enough.

But that's American comedy, I suppose. I bet British comedians from the stone age could outdo them.

Dr Who. Liked it when I was a kid but think bringing it back was a waste of BBC resources which could have been spent on an adult sci-fi programme.

I get it might not be your thing, but a great deal of fans are adults.

Why? It isn't aimed at (young) children.

Sure. That doesn't mean however, as Briton claims, that Doctor Who is a children's show.

Well it is transmitted on BBC 3 which does give some clue.

No it isn't, it's shown on BBC1. It might be repeated on BBC3, but the first run is on BBC1.

Actually it's broadcasted on BBC 1. BBC 3 does the reruns.
And BBC3 itself targets people from 16 to 34, so not children either but adolescents and adults.

You're still missing out those 'nots' Scot! No wonder you are frequently misunderstood. Either that or you're in two minds yourself. :smile:
