I’m watching CSI:NY now (I just can’t seem to stop) and I pulled out season 1 because I did a rewatch only recently. Season 1 is so different in style/colouring. The lab moved sets and it does have a whole knock-on-feel.

But there’s some really great character moments in season 1, and some solid episodes, it’s well worth watching.

Anyway, the funny thing today is I hear a voice I recognise and I’m like “is it? Is it really? Ooooh” because it was! Coulson did a guest spot as an ADA, he’s only been in one scene but I’m just like it’s Coulson hehe.

I hadn’t remembered that.

I’m watching CSI as I do sometimes. I don’t know why I get this impulse to binge watch a ton occasionally but it’s a thing. Anyway it’s the Leapin’ Lizards season 7 episode and I’m laughing.

The guy on the video that Grissom is watching said that aliens seeded life on Earth. That the first contact between humans and these aliens was on Atlantis.

(My mind instantly went to Stargate but wait! It gets better).

Ancient civilisations had records of these encounters, these aliens were highly advanced and called them serpents. The snake represented knowledge and weren’t human.

(Does that sound like goa’uld to anyone else?)

Ok what he says next is about myths of heroic fighting against snakes. They were the enemy. Cut off the tail the snake lives but cut off the head it dies.

(Sticking with goa’uld, they have the sarcophagus and can come back from death but if you cut the head off … well I don’t think that can be fixed. Probably the only sure way to prevent revival).

Anyway basically I’m just cackling like mad. Stargate and CSI crossover confirmed.

Watching Supergirl 2×08 and yay there’s Supercorp! I love how Kara empathised with Lena about sins of the parents and also was adamant that she knew her, and that Lena was a good person 🙂

I did roll my eyes though because right after there was the Mon-El kiss and my inner snark came out about them being scared of the gay and having to cover it.

Obviously this is the first time I’ve seen it but I still didn’t believe for one second that Lena was actually supporting her mother/Cadmus. Nice fakeout. I considered it was possible when she said “why not I’m a Luthor?” because I thought maybe she wanted to earn her mother’s love. I’m so glad that’s she knew that wouldn’t work and it was a bad idea.

Basically Lena = badass. I loved the “and I called the police.”

Oh and yay for Alex and Maggie! And now there’s some kind of crossover with The Flash? I’m hoping that’s skippable I only watch half the DC shows.

That Lena Luthor quote

You know it’s true what they say. Behind every great man is a strong woman. Oh, I wouldn’t know. I’ve never stood behind a man.

has the same energy as the Phryne Fisher quote

Beside every good man is a good woman, and she must always be ready to step in front.

Watching Sanctuary and Daniel just showed up with a belly pouch like Teal’c 😂 I loved his crack about her hair because obviously Sam was blonde.

Obviously it’s not Daniel it’s Michael Shanks but it amused me.

I have now finished Supergirl season 1!

Seeing as I wound up buying Supergirl season 1-3 because of all the SuperCorp on my dash reading that Lena Luthor is going to be in the season 2 premiere makes me wish it wasn’t raid night 🙂

It’ll probably be Thursday before I can watch it. Oh well something to look forward to I guess.

So apparently channel 4 doesn’t have the rights to Agents of Shield season 7 after all…

No clue who does have them for the UK.

Just put it on Disney+ already I really want to watch!

It’s the final season, I love this show so much, just *screams*

Assassin’s Creed Update!

(not using the title because that seems way too announcey)

A couple of weeks ago I rambled about AC Origins (and Odyssey) which I had got in the Steam summer sale. I said I’d mostly played Origins because that came first but I was enjoying it. I had a few gripes about aiming and the camera but for the most point it was a thumbs up.

Anyway I was enjoying it and the sale was still going on so I kinda … maybe *cough* bought Syndicate and Black Flag as well. I did restrain myself because I was tempted to get AC II, Brotherhood and Rogue as well. I didn’t because I wasn’t sure how the graphics would hold up these days and also I figured I had enough game with the 4 I already had to last me until next years steam summer sale!

I couldn’t resist Syndicate because it’s Warehouse 12 era (they even have a grappler gun!) and Black Flag is pirates. Those themes were just *grabby hands*. Now I haven’t booted Black Flag yet but I’ve played a few hours of Syndicate, so how is it different from Origins?

Well 1) the combat is a bit easier for me. I find I can see when to block etc. a lot easier. 2) the camera behaves! I can adjust it no problem with the controller which is how it should be (seriously that is the #1 thing that annoys me the most about Origins and otherwise I love that game).

There’s a lot of things that are the same which makes sense as it’s a franchise game. It’s comfortable in the familiarity and I like that. It’s not as open world as Origins with the sequences and I’m still not sure whether the bonus objectives are important or not. I’ve mostly been playing as Evie which is cool.

There seems to be more story in Syndicate around the whole “assassin’s creed” thing with pieces of Eden and more modern day stuff. I’m a little bit confused but that’s what google is for so if I have questions I’m sure I can find answers 🙂

Just watched The Old Guard.

Got to be honest I was drawn in by that look

(you know the one)

but while the fight scenes were excellent it wasn’t all about the battle. There was some thought-provoking stuff about immortality and the burden it can be. It’s something I’ve thought a lot about as while we all wish for more time, spending eternity losing everyone would suck.

I hope they do another one. They were certainly setting something up with those final two scenes, especially the teaser closer scene. I was a bit concerned about that possibility given … well something (#NoSpoilers) but on reflection they showed us how they could deal with that in the last act so it could work.

Recommend.

Usually blu-rays are a lot more expensive than DVDs. The price of them and of the player is why I have never converted and stick with DVDs.

Weirdly on this occasion the blu-ray was probably less than a 1/3rd of the price of the DVD which led me to discover that my computer’s drive is actually blu-ray haha. I must have ticked that when I bought it and promptly forgot all about it. Watching on the PC isn’t as comfortable but for the price I couldn’t opt otherwise.

Anyway, all you people that keep reblogging Supergirl on my dash have just been making me think about it. I watched the first 15 episodes I think? of season 1 a while back because I had a one month free pass to NowTV and I liked it. However, NowTV is stupid expensive (seriously I don’t understand why anyone actually pays for it, it’s about 3x the price of netflix just for TV as they have separate passes for TV and movies).

I didn’t really want to buy it because I don’t know if I’m that into it but it was £5 per season (season 1-3) which is pretty good and now I won’t be frustrated wanting to watch it anymore.

Thanks tumblr hehe
