Watched Captain America. Thought it was a bit poo. I like most of the recent Marvel additions but i felt it was pretty poor in comparison to Thor & XMEN First Class. Hoping the Avengers movie will be good though.

I watched more of Fringe(season 4). Cool ending to that one. I hope Fringe gets a chance to wrap up all its storylines.

I then watched 'Wolf' with Jack Nicholson, James Spader, Christopher Plummer and Michelle Pfeffier. A werewolf type story with a twist. Jack is actually quite subdued in his performance. Spader does a good line in weirdos! A neat little film.

Glad to hear 'Luck' has been cancelled, they were filming the second series

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17364029

Disgusting to hear about the horses (3) which had to be put down because of the filming for this.

As for what i watch its all ending soon, final episode of the Walking Dead on sunday (Been a couple of shocks the last few episodes) and 'ahem' Clone Wars season finale on saturday with Darth Maul back to his best

I presume horse racing of any kind will be cancelled shortly too.

Are you stalking me ? ;)

Yeah not been a good week for horse racing, my mate went this week (Was it Cheltenham ?) and said it was pretty sick what happened (think a couple had nasty falls and 'obviously' couldnt be nursed back to health and had to be shot !) and then you heard about this show.

Grand National coming up as well which sadly will have a few fatalities i'm sure

I was watching an episode last night. Hmmm, I think this series should be called 'Bad Luck'. I must admit that so far it does not entertain me, and I like most of HBO's other stuff.It wasn't doing that well in the ratings, so that might have contributed as well.

I don't know, I'm really not sure about what they've done with him. I'm hoping he'll get back on track and get some Grievous legs or something. Mad scaredy cat Maul isn't working for me. Bit disappointed they had this as a promo for the season and only pull him out for the finale too (though we've had some good Ventress episodes - Ventress kicks butt).

I'll miss it. Might have to get the whole series on Blu Ray and start from the beginning again.

Castle (new season) Absolutely love this series & new episodes are great.
CSI - Wondered how Ted Danson would fit in & he did a pretty good job. Might take a while to warm to him.
Suits - Very enjoyable lawyer show with a different twist.
Harry's Law - Good, but not as enjoyable as the first season when they were based in their shop.
Alcatraz - Watched the first episode last night & loved it. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Hawaii 50 - A guilty pleasure I really, really enjoy.
Body of Proof - Second season just as enjoyable as the first. Jeri Ryan ftw. :o
Rizzoli & Isles - Another fun cop show with good chemistry between the two main characters.
Grimm - Have only watched the first 30 minutes, but I'm liking it so far.

Have Friday Night Lights, NCIS, Leverge & Persons Unknown slowly building up on the HD box.

And finally American Guns. Have this on in the background whilst iPadding. Don't know why. Just do.

Yeah at first i wasnt keen but reading more about it its a good idea that hes basically gone a bit mad. Seen the trailer for the final episode and he has more 'normal' robotic type legs rather than a spider. Hope they dont kill him off again, surely they wont ! I like the character appearing from the films, eg Dengar was good to see the other week. Been enjoying this season a lot apart from the silly 'Droids' style episodes earlier in the season.

But yeah they announce this type of big news (Chewbacca last year) and they're there just for an episode or two at the end. Still enjoy downloading this every week and its great escapism for 20 minutes.

You listen to The Forcecast or follow other Star Wars news?

There's been a bit of a fuss over casting Simon Pegg as Dengar, since he has nothing good to say about the prequels. He's consistently and repeatedly slagged them off, but as soon as a job comes his way he was in there. Bit hypocritical imo. I'm surprised they cast him given how sour some other Lucasfilm relationships have gone. Pegg's done far more to damage the Star Wars reputation than Dave Prowse has, for example, yet Prowse is persona non grata at Lucasfilm official events.

Fright Night remake.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but thought that the effects were terrible. Could also have done with more David Tennant.
