soangel Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I don't watch enough TV to keep up with all these programmes. Used to watch Stargate and Buffy, but a lot of the good programmes - eg Lost, Stargate, Supernatural - get bought up by satellite/cable TV and so I never get to watch them anymore Downloads are your friend And don't get me started on normal tv and supernatural. I think channel 10 (or 11) is currently airing 2 seasons ago. I have heard of it, but never seen it before. Will have to get Zoe to download it for me (along with Suburgatory, but only cause Alan Tudyk is in it and he's AWESOME!). I agree with having a no touching policy at least during Q&As. Sometimes the actors like giving out hugs and that's really cool, but not when it's such a limited time (and especially at such a big con, it makes it too hard to keep on time). I agree with educating silver... Downloading tv shows is the best thing ever! I end up buying a lot of the box sets anyways, so I figue if I can see the show quicker than waiting for it to be on free to air tv (who stuff up the time slots anyways and cause the shows to go to pay tv... I'm looking at you, Go!, you totally screwed up TVD! ) Mark Sheppard was joking about the downloads in his panel. He was talking about supernatural and I think someone said its not out here yet, and he was all "We know you all download it. You get on your torrent sites and get it the same day. And that's fine because I know most of you will buy the DVDs anyways." (or something to that affect). But yeah, the DVDs have bonus features. And with the internet (and spoilers) these days we can't be expected to wait for tv shows. Yeah Q & A no touching policy. If you want a hug find them roaming around outside or pay for a photo or autograph. Don't waste the panel time when we could be hearing answers to interesting questions.

silver Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 But I wouldn't have time to watch the downloads or DVDs either By the time I've gone to work, shopped, cleaned, checked on aged parents, cooked and played with dog, I barely have enough time to log on the MFC, let alone trying to fit in TV as well. I make exceptions for really good programmes, like David Attenborough documentaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad watches it but hadnt complained about them being old eps... I know that ch 9 has been reasonable with CSI and BBT... Sam Trammell was quite surprised when the people on the table told him that a lot of people download True Blood... Ooooh, as long as the questions are interesting I don't mind, it's when you get really stupid or really personal ones where I get really annoyed...

Ooooh, better mention this. Last night Zoe and I went to the movies to watch a film called Jucy. It's about two best friends called Jackie and Lucy, and after another woman says they're weird and that they're in a womance (like a bromance, but with girls), they try to change their life. It was surprisingly good. If you get the chance to see it, you should go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they've caught up or not, since they got their second channel. But they did have a point where they kept switching it's time slot, then eventually cancelled it.

I did used to watch a lot of TV, especially the good American stuff - never used to miss House or NCIS or Supernatural - but now it's all on satellite I don't bother. I just don't seem to get into programmes at the moment.

I just don't seem to get into programmes at the moment. I know what you mean. it was the same for me with house, Supernatural and TVD. Once you can't watch it regually, you're kind of detoxed and you don't really bother anymore. It's a bit of a shame with these good shows though.

soangel Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The terrestrial channels just can't compete with the money that the satellite channels can offer. In Australia that's not always the case. I think our networks have more money than the satellite in some cases, and often have to wait until a tv show has ended its run of a show before they start it. Sure some shows they get first pick up on (the sy fy network gets sy fy shows etc). But its free to air here that gets the big viewers and big ad space. It's that in today's age it isn't easy to get the ratings, so shows get pushed to later slots, and then they definitely don't get the ratings and so satellite ends up picking them up. I'm sure sometimes it's the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that go?? I'm going to London, around the north of France (going to Villers Brettoneux for Anzac day), then to Paris, then back to London for a few days, then flying up to Scotland and driving around there for about 9 days. I reckon Christopher Lloyd would've been popular. Same with Billy Boyd (if I could've gone I'd totally have a pic with him!)... I figure, if Supanova have some totally awesome actors that I'd desperate to see, and they go to Sydney then I'll def go. Ooooooh! That just reminded me... Oz Comic-Con is getting Sir Patrick Stewart!!!! *squee* This is going to be totally epic! I'm sorta kinda getting withdrawal symptoms... partly cause I want to see everyone together, and I wanna see the band again! Yeah, me and Bec went to NZ in January... Twas awesome! We had a great time in Auckland (ft. Bec jumping off the Sky Tower), then really enjoyed wandering around Rotorua... I'd love to go back eventually, just gotta save up more money...

At this stage I have 4 completely free days in London, and I'd love to meet up with MFCers that want to meet me. Maybe early next year I'll start a thread and see who wants to meet up.

I've always wanted to go to a comic con:biggrin2: Did you see that I got the Melbourne dates wrong? Melbourne's on 30th June and 1st July... And the tickets for those sorts of things usually aren't that expensive. Entry should be about $20 (it may be more, so make sure you check the site beforehand), photos should be $40 and autographs should be $30. Again, the prices should go up on the site so make sure you check it out before you go. It should be a good event though, I can't wait till they start talking about the Sydney one (which probably won't be on till around this time next year).

soangel Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 OZ Comic con does sound like it'll be amazing. It is now 9 days until I go to Perth, spend 3 days there with Bianca and then go to Bangkok. Then we're off to Chaing Mai, Phuket, Phi Phi island, KL, jungle trekking and back to KL. Wow so soon.
