Another Gotham fan!!!!

The Fish Mooney storyline is when I woke up to the series. Seeing Jeffrey Combs transformed into a woman by The Dollmaker hooked me for good.

The X-Files limited series episode 2

I was going to watch that but when I found out it was running on consecutive nights I decided the hell with it; I'll pick it up on DVD. I don't like TV "commitments". There is always bound to be something else on TV that I want to watch during such a "miniseries".

"009-1: The End of the Beginning" (2013)

Japanese action/sci-fi flick based on a long running manga comic and anime series (with which I am unfamiliar), about a female cyborg secret agent who starts digging into her past to recover her lost memories. Mayhem follows her every step of the way until she eventually gets mixed up with a mad scientist, zombies, and a plot to destroy the world.

I'll be honest, this flick didn't make a lick of sense but it was so insanely ultra-violent and packed with female eye candy and gore that it didn't even matter, it was still a boat load of fun to watch.

In other words, right up my Tokyo Gore Police-loving alley!

That was just the first 2 episodes. The rest of the episodes are on Monday nights from here on out.

That's even worse, that's the night RAW is on. I can't bitch about how lame WWE creative is if I don't watch RAW.

I think I'll just read the reviews then decide if I want to pick up this X Files "mini-series" on DVD when it comes out.

As far as I'm concerned, it's excellent. It has the feel of the original series.

Agree, fantastic return.

Also watched Agent Carter.

Old Johnny Carson Tonight Show episodes on Antenna TV.

Agent Carter

"Light Blast" (aka "Neon Killer," 1985)


Enjoyably cheesy Italian action flick with a sci-fi twist. A tough San Francisco cop (Erik Estrada of "C.H.i.P.S" fame) has to track down a mad scientist who has invented a laser beam weapon that melts humans, and is threatening to destroy the city with it unless they pay him a $10 million ransom.
Aside from the hilariously gory scenes of people "melting" (ala the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark") when the laser is used, this is pretty standard cop-movie stuff, with lots of car chases, gun battles and stuff blowin' up. At least "Ponch" gets to shoot his gun in this movie - I don't think he ever drew his weapon once during all his years on "C.H.i.P.S."

"Popcorn" (1991)


College film students rent out a theater for a fund raising "all night horror-thon" of gimmicky '50s schlock movies. Unfortunately, someone who might be connected to a deranged film director from years past is stalking them and picking them off one by one during the show.
This early '90s video store & cable favorite is pretty dated now but it's still a fun watch, particularly for the jokey "films within the film" being shown in the theater. Plus, there's even a throwaway joke about Iron Maiden (the band) for us metal nerds!

Gotham - the final episode of season 1

I'll probably binge-watch all of season 1 again before the second half of season 2 starts on Feb. 29

I'm totally caught up now. I don't think that Season 2 has hit the heights of the second half of Season 1 yet but that's to be expected, it's not a Heroes style nosedive or anything.

I'm still waiting for them to pick up the thread from the "Firefly" episodes where that chick with the flamethrower ended up as a burnt crisp in bandages in the bowels of a Wayne Enterprises institution as what looked to be a scientific experiment.

I really need to start watching Gotham. I have heard nothing but good things about it.
