TV Discussion Fisto's Disco: The LACWAC Social Thread

Thanks for the info Q. The 4-6-0 in the 2nd pic is gorgeous. More similar liveries that I remembered and that's probably not an accident. Speaking of The Railway Series/ Thomas the Tank Engine this engine looks alot like Henry. If my memory serves correctly however Henry's 2nd shape is based on the LMS Black Fives, its been a several years since I kept up with this stuff. Its a more similar green than I remembered. Perhaps I have the Olive Green mixed up with another railway, the actual British Railway I think. I'm into vintage rail equipment, particularly the stuff within my own shores but love railways around the world.. The kinda history I can see, touch ,smell, feel. LOL don't complain to me about subsidized Railways, my friend. I've got Amtrak, super expensive and pretty much promised to be 30 minutes late.

Ringo Starr was my favorite narrator although the American version with George Carlin, especially in Shining Time Station is pretty funny.

 

That tune is heresy. The old theme song is the only theme song.

 

LOL, HIT Thomas. I kinda like Spencer myself with the newer characters and also liked Hank. Gauge loading be damned it was about time. I watched some of the newer stuff with my niece. I used to volunteer on the Mount Dora and Scenic Railway here up until I got my current job. They used to push the Thomas dummy with this little steam engine they have. I'm always been into trains.

My favorite characters were always Edward, Duck, and The Fat Controller. My favorite stories were always "Old Iron" and "A Close Shave". Unfortunately These days I've got a grudge against Thomas. I went through a nostalgia trip for the old stuff and Railways Series about four years back.

Ripped from the TCW General Thread.

I actually thought Jumper was alright with my lame filter on. Neat mythos the movie just sucked and felt lame. The definition of a popcorn flick. Factory Girl I'll have to see.

Does Hayden have anything new coming out?

I watched the second and third episodes of Spartacus last night.

The best part of the second episode was Spartacus showing charm with a sly tongue and roguish smile, it gives him a bit of personality beyond LEADER OF THE SLAVE REBELLION that he lacked in Vengeance. It was probably the best performance I've seen from Liam and really helped endear me to him taking on the role. I saw the same smile from Andy Whitfield in Blood and Sand and now that Liam has shown the same side of the character, it made me realize I've now officially accepted him as Spartacus.

I've enjoyed the relationship between Spartacus and that Roman dude's redhead wife, though it would be nice to see the tender side of Spartacus without the melodrama of murder or pregnancy.

I was indeed impressed at Tiberius' combat skill, I didn't expect that from him. Looking forward to seeing the fallout from disobeying his father's orders, and I'm hoping Tiberius flays his troops for abandoning him.

Gannicus and Agron definitely are in conflict with Spartacus and his ways, it's something that has been building for some time now, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it, if anything at all.

 

Is anyone going to be around tonight? I'm thinking I'll drag the disco chat out of storage when I get home. I'd like to have a special meeting with you guys in chat to plan the next viewing party, talk about stuff we can do over the break after March, and one other special item.

 

I'm here now, probably just going to catch up on my DVR tonight, so I can stick around.

 

Cool. It'll probably won't be til around the usual 10:45pm.

 

My internet is running approx. late-90s speed (minus the cool startup sound effects), but I'll try to see if the chat works here.

 

I should be around.

 

Come on, you know that those scraggly looking chin hairs that he calls a beard mean that HE IS GOING TO BE IN EPISODE 7!!1!
