Alert Post for Mark Watches Videos (for Jan. 20 - Jan. 24 episodes)



This is where Mark lets us know when a new video is up. PLEASE WAIT until he posts here before you try and buy a new episode, even if you see it in the store and even if you think that surely enough time has passed for the file to be attached. This makes things much easier on Mark, for reasons that have been explained in the past few posts. Mark has been very steadfast about posting here when new episodes are available, so please just be patient.

Link exchanges and donations take place on the Black Market post.

Below are links to the page for each show so you don’t have to search the store (just click on the show title), plus a list of the episodes that will be uploaded for the week.

SUPERNATURAL
2x08
2x09
2x10

THE WEST WING
5x16
5x17

VERONICA MARS
(2x05 is already in the store)

The Friday Night Lights Meme
Day Zero - Proposed Topics


For those of you unfamiliar with these (I was when I started here, and there have been a ton of introduction posts lately), the memes are thirty topics of conversation based around a subject, usually relating to the Stuff that Mark has Done. I will be posting a topic each weekday morning at ~12:01 AM. Post your pick, discuss each others, and then we start over with a new topic. There's an incomplete list of past memes in the bar to the right, linking to what topics were covered during each.

Day 1: Favorite Season
Day 2: Favorite Line or Scene
Day 3: Least Favorite Line or Scene
Day 4: Favorite Female Character
Day 5: Least Favorite Female Character
Day 6: Favorite Male Character
Day 7: Least Favorite Male Character
Day 8: Favorite Friendship
Day 9: Favorite Romance/Ship
Day 10: Least Favorite Romance/Ship
Day 11: FNL Series Movie: Yea or Nay
Day 12: What You Disliked Most About the Series
Day 13: Who the Bus Should Have Brought Back
Day 14: Favorite Fan Fiction
Day 15: Characters That Should Have Met But Didn't
Day 16: FNL and Football
Day 17: Character You Most Relate To
Day 18: Character You Love to Hate
Day 19: What You Were Expecting From FNL
Day 20: When You Knew You Were Hooked
Day 21: Best Surprise
Day 22: Worst Surprise
Day 23: Question You Most Want Answered
Day 24: Funniest Moment
Day 25: Cutest Moment
Day 26: Saddest Moment
Day 27: Scene That Should Have Been Included in the Final Montage
Day 28: What Happens at the 10-Year Reunions
Day 29: The State of the Riggins House
Day 30: The Best Part of Friday Night Lights

If you have any thoughts on these, or suggestions for different questions, please mention them! I forgot how hard coming up with these was, especially for a show like this that isn't easily divided by the episode. The first ten or so questions are standards used for many memes; we can finalize the rest of the list this week. I feel #20 and #28 are weakest, personally.

I was also considering reposting this every other Sunday as a reminder; it was a bit of a pain having to dig through past weekly threads if you wanted to work a week early, for example... Y/N?

Bear McCreary just announced he's composing the score for the new Starz show Outlander (yes, based on those books, which I've never been able to get into despite my mother's prompting).

Let's see, Outlander, Agents of SHIELD, Defiance, The Walking Dead, Da Vinci's Demons, and another new show Black Sails...did I miss any?

How many jobs can this man do at once? He's actually superhuman.

I'm so happy about Mark reading Ella Enchanted. So happy. I got my ex to read it (and Holes by Louis Sachar) and they were horrified at me after, because apparently I liked bleak, life-ruining stories even as a kid?

Question:

If someone else on a fairly friendly game forum posts a highly sexualized image of a woman's butt clad in gold spandex as a pun on the story of "The Golden Ass", and the user finds this uncomfortable and replies something that basically implies, "Real mature, (twat)," what are some pithy comebacks said user can make if the original poster's response is something along the lines of, "Hey man, just being funny. Y so serious lol? (This response has yet to occur, but I'm trying to prepare in anticipation).

Fairy-tale adaptations thread?

Because everyone's been squeeing in the Ella threads about how much they love fairy tale retellings and adaptations, and I admit to being fond of the genre myself.

So I started wondering what are everyone's favorite new takes on old tales.

Diana watches (and actually catches up on) Covert Affairs

So Covert Affairs is a show that I keep meaning to watch because it has a lot of stuff that I like in my shows (awesome lady lead! Other ladies! Attractive guys! Things going boom! Positive disability portrayals! Boom!), but I've never actually watched all the way through. I keep seeing the first four or five episodes, have to turn in the DVDs, and never feel like committing to dl the eps. Through use of a VPN, I've accessed Canadian Netflix and discovered it was on there, so now I'm going to try to watch through the aired episodes. *crosses fingers*

Starting with Episode 1.01

Despite there being over 700 Pokemon now, I can confirm that it is still possible to "Catch 'em all". It's just really time consuming.
