oh ffs.... a musical episode on the flash

its reached a new low

at least when buffy did this they injected humour, this is just painful

Paul Vargas

Hello to all!

bertieb

Paul Vargas

@bertieb Hey! How are you?

bertieb

@PaulVargas Good thanks, just started futzing with LaTeX for some 'TPS reports'-esque things I have to do. Good times. You?

Paul Vargas

@bertieb Fine, thanks! LaTeX is great!

$TeX - LaTeX$

bertieb

10:36 PM

It is indeed. I've looked up a few things on the TeX SE site; don't yet need to ask anything (fingers crossed)

Burgi

don't google "latex is great"

bertieb

0_0

Can imagine where that leads...

It's been interesting using emacs too

Can definitely appreciate some of the things it does and why it does them; hard to get out ot the vim mindset though

Paul Vargas

@Burgi You did it?

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi I kinda liked it as a one off

DavidPostill

@JourneymanGeek I assume you are not referring to the latex? ;p

Journeyman Geek

10:46 PM

flash musical episode ;p

also, the flash has always been a bit silly, so its a way to lighten the grimdarkness of the current storyline

unrelatedly

whoot, under 400 review queue items

Burgi

he fracking tap danced

Ben N

@JourneymanGeek That's the lowest I've ever seen it! What happened?

Burgi

@DavidPostill i agree the timing was... odd...

Ben N

Wait actually IIRC they were almost empty when I first gained the review privilege those years ago

Burgi

@BenN huge influx of people with enough rep during the election

Journeyman Geek

10:50 PM

@BenN I have no idea. Can't even blame the elections. They've been around a thousand for quitee a while, after they tweaked the algo that feeds them

then shortly before the elections were announced...

bertieb

The queue was coming down before the elections

Journeyman Geek

Yup

bertieb

I came back!

:p

Another algo tweak maybe?

Journeyman Geek

Nothing we know of

Burgi

i do love the end titles theme from the flash

its so happy and upbeat

Journeyman Geek

10:54 PM

yup

Are you familiar with the 'classic' flash?

Bob

@Di437 If your plane from New York to Beijing is anywhere near London, the pilot is badly, badly lost. — David Richerby yesterday

Burgi

from the 80s? no but i know the older flash in this flash was the original flash in that show

Journeyman Geek

yup

Burgi

@Bob isn't flying east faster?

Journeyman Geek

and there's a cameo from the actress who played his love interest as the head of mercury labs

Burgi

10:58 PM

arrow has been "meh" for a couple of seasons now

Journeyman Geek

Danny Elfman:"The Flash"(1990)-Main Theme

►

arrow's kinda running out of ideas

Burgi

and legends of tomorrow has improved since they narrow the focus to just a few characters

Journeyman Geek

legends feels the strongest of the lot

Ramhound

I really hate EA

Journeyman Geek

lol

Burgi

11:00 PM

supergirl is just awful

Ramhound

Try to play MP ME:Andromedia

Journeyman Geek

So say we all.

Ramhound

i get a match, it loads, I get disconnected

Journeyman Geek

I've not really watched supergirl yet

Burgi

don't bother

Ramhound

11:01 PM

planet of doom sounds like it will be good (next weeks ep)

Burgi

they tried to big it up as a "strong" female lead

Journeyman Geek

She seems like a derp ;p

Burgi

but for the majority of it she is getting her arse handed to her

Journeyman Geek

yup

Its kind of an odd thing tho

Overall, DC's TV shows have always been stronger

Ramhound

i wish they would do a cross-over "event" so the reality changing events of Legends would effect Supergirl and Arrow and Flash

Burgi

11:02 PM

it only gets good when they have the rare episode with superman in it

Journeyman Geek

yet they keep trying to, and failing to make movies.

Ramhound

they actually made fun of Superman on Flash last night

Burgi

yeah i just watched it @Ramhound

Ramhound

and how he was only in 2 Eps

Journeyman Geek

They really ought to just do the whole "lets have a set of series with 5 year archs"

yup

Ramhound

11:03 PM

and was like "durp durp... I am superman!"

I forget the exact quote :-)

Burgi

the cross over when brandon routh said "hey she looks like my cousin" was a brilliant touch

DavidPostill

@Ramhound I though you were batman! ;p

Journeyman Geek

also, the embargo thing is dumb.

Burgi

embargo?

Ramhound

On, Andromeda?

i am Batman!

Journeyman Geek

11:05 PM

So. DC has a rule that if a charecter appears in a movie, it can't appear in other media at the same time with a few exceptions

Burgi

@JourneymanGeek you say that but i got bored with gotham

Journeyman Geek

Gotham is just odd

Burgi

the first season was brilliant

Journeyman Geek

I think they kinda kept getting odder and odder....

Burgi

especially towards the end

Ramhound

11:06 PM

Well, people claim that's true but let's be honest, DC would actually have to know what the heck they are doing to actually do that :-)

Journeyman Geek

and don't have any real idea on how to wrap it up

Ramhound

So I have my doubts....

Journeyman Geek

But when you start pulling charecters from things that work (deadshot for example...)

Ramhound

i know, do what Smallville did, go for 10 seasons and Bruce can wear Batman t-Shirts for 3 seasons then for 90 seconds the last ESP be Batman!

Burgi

agent carter (i know its marvel) was amazing

Journeyman Geek

11:07 PM

tbh, what I'd love is a grown up, batman family TV shows and get Paul Dini to write em.

Ramhound

i miss agent carter the only good news about the cancellation is that her new show Conviction is good

Burgi

i was gutted they cancelled it

Ramhound

it literally was the only real connect to Movie Marvel that TV Marvel had

besides Agent a Olson, Sif, and LoL Ehats his face

Burgi

what about the magic heli-carrier they kept hinting at in the run up to the avengers?

Ramhound

they cancelled carter for the Agents spin off then cancelled that oops!

Journeyman Geek

11:09 PM

yeah

marvel's never been much good with TV shows.

Ramhound

hopefully Inhumans will be good and buff Agents

Journeyman Geek

@Ramhound Colson ;p

Apparently it has Lockjaw.

Ramhound

woof

Lockjaw better be a schnauzer !!

:-)

Otherwise Boycott!!

Burgi

agents of shield has the prettiest people in any superhero tv show

Journeyman Geek

Its fiction. Everyone knows schnauzers can teleport

Bob

11:11 PM

huh. zone out for a bit and come back to this marvelous conversation

Ben N

Ahhhh yes, puns

Ramhound

Forget cats being worship in Egypt, Schnauzers should be whorshipped in 2017 :-)

Stupid autocorrect!

Burgi

when i get back from sicily i'm going to have a load of shows to catch up on

Ramhound

Get yourself a vpn if it's a vacation, Italy has, like one English TV channel :-)

Burgi

are you guys watching the latest season of robot wars?

@Ramhound i'm going with my girlfriend

Bob

11:14 PM

O_O Skeet asked a question!

:P

Burgi

i plan to have lots of sex, lots of italian wine and great food

user226528

@Burgi Oh, so you are actually alone.

user226528

But do enjoy the great food.

Burgi

er...

user226528

You said "I plan to have lots of sex". The only men who say such things are those do not have such plans.

Journeyman Geek

11:17 PM

@Bob oO

user226528

er...

Burgi

@FleetCommand i plan to, whether my girlfriend lets me is a whole other matter

user226528

@Burgi Well, let's just hope your girlfriend knows nothing of this conversation. I haven't seen a girl who likes being explicit about sex.

bertieb

@FleetCommand They exist :P

@Burgi is DO'B hosting now? I enjoyed CC's style, back in the day

user226528

@bertieb My apologies. I should have said "being explicit in the public about sex".

bertieb

11:21 PM

@FleetCommand My assertion still stands :P

Burgi

i have also been looking at the new fiat 124 and thinking maybe we should have spent more on the hire car and got that...

its VERY pretty

user226528

@bertieb Perhaps you are thinking about prostitutes. In which case you'd be wrong.

Burgi

@bertieb he is, its better now

bertieb

@FleetCommand Lol, what? No

Burgi

the fights are way more aggressive

bertieb

11:23 PM

@Burgi But CC!

Of CC Funk and Soul

Burgi

CC was great and i love his radio show but...

user226528

Okay, I am looking at scenes from season 1 of The Big Bang Theory and ... bloody hell, Penny used to be gorgeous.

Burgi

@FleetCommand meh, a lot of my female friends talk about sex all the time

brb going for more wine

user226528

@Burgi Not about having it with their significant other when they actually intend to do so.

Burgi

yes, yes they do

bertieb

11:26 PM

@FleetCommand Ever the cynic

user226528

@Burgi Then don't believe them. Having sex is like getting rich: Those who mean business, instead of talking about it, do it.

allquixotic

and some of us neither talk about nor ever get rich

user226528

@allquixotic LOL

allquixotic

I fail to see why that's hilarious

Ben N

:(

Journeyman Geek

11:40 PM

so true

@allquixotic its more like a nervious laugh out loud.

also oddly true of PC building for some of us. Myself included ;)

user226528

@JourneymanGeek Speak for yourself, honey. I laughed at the "some of us" part.

user226528

Of course, none of you guys know what a weasel word is, so...

user226528

I am not expecting you to laugh.

Ben N

11:56 PM

Unrelatedly, this Twitter account is amazing and I'm sad it's no longer active

Burgi

LOL @ the latest tweet
