Winter 2015 Anime Thread

Winter's last few premieres are starting this week, and other shows are getting their second episodes. So far this season's looking pretty neat all told. Will that keep up?

I think the CW may be on its last legs and shutting down in 2016 (which is when their Tribune affiliate contracts runs out). They cancelled nothing and gave an early renewal to every show they have including ones that are doing pretty awful like Reign - so it doesn't look like they're starting anything new or want to invest any money into any new shows.

So the Globes just happened.

I've only seen some of what's on Youtube. What did you all think?

Alerting/Waiting/Flailing Post for Mark Watches Videos (for January 19 - 23 episodes)



This is where Mark lets us know when the new videos are up (they're usually uploaded all at once). Please do not try to buy a new episode until he posts here to say there's something new ready to download.

Link exchanges and donations take place on the Black Market post. Below are links to the store page for each show (just click on the show title), plus a list of the episodes that will be uploaded for the week.

SUPERNATURAL
8x05
8x06
8x07

STAR TREK:TOS
3x20
3x21

NOTE about Leverage: Mark is watching the show in DVD order, which for the first season is different from the order on Netflix (much like Farscape was). I've put the episode titles (according to DVD order) in rot13 below so you can be sure you're syncing with the right episodes.

LEVERAGE (new store page, check replies for link)
*1x01 ("Gur Avtrevna Wbo")
1x02 ("Gur Ubzrpbzvat Wbo")
1x03 ("Gur Jrqqvat Wbo")
1x04 ("Gur Fabj Wbo")
1x05 ("Gur Zvyr-Uvtu Wbo")

* This video will be available for free download for the duration of Mark watching Leverage. He usually posts the direct download link in the replies to this thread.

Michael read Monument 14 and is about to read whatever the next one is called

So, my fiance got an Audible membership and Monument 14 on audiobook for a car trip about a month ago, and I finally got around to listening to it. I've finished it and was, for the most part, pretty impressed. I plan to get the second one and start the sequel (whose name I still don't know) soon.

In the meantime, has anyone else here read Monument 14? What are your thoughts?

Okay, so, I’d love some help with something.

Still working on writing articles for cracked, and one of the things I’m talking about is the way female characters are written. And I need some examples of “heroic” female characters that have to suffer to become heroes in comparison to male ones. Any examples you guys can give me?

I just finished my second rewatch of Leverage on Netflix. I'm planning on rewatching along with the MW videos, but since that's only five episodes a week that leaves me with a lot of empty time I could be using to crochet and watch something on Netflix. Anyone have any suggestions?

Spoils Reads Star Trek
...is on hold. I forgot just how much time it takes to move. At the moment, I don't have computer set up or internet. My phone is fine for posting MW stuff I've prepared.

When I start again, I/we will be reading Spock's World, by Diane Duane!

Supernatural random thing. Jared accidentally tweeted his phone number. A fan texted him saying it was her birthday. Jared and Jensen then called the fan from the set and wished her a happy birthday. This is how you handle a massive blunder. JARED do NOT tweet your phone number, you big moose!

Soren's best friend reads Mark Reads Harry Potter

I had only meant to show her two or three of Marks early posts. We ended up spending the entire night reading; She read the ENTIRE ARCHIVE of Mark Reads Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, all in one setting. (We had to get to the end because she needed to see Mark's reaction to Quirrell being the villain instead of Snape.) She didn't just read it silently, she read the whole thing OUT LOUD. Mark's screen play reviews even got her to do different British accents for the characters. She also said the F-word for probably the first time in her life. She was trying so hard to self-censor herself too, (saying FFFfff-- or dropping the U sound) but two thirds of the way in she broke down and started saying it. I will make a potty mouth of her yet! :D

I seriously wish that we had thought to record it. It was so much fun.
She did make a tumblr post about it here though. http://uncertain-imp.tumblr.com/post/107972871794...
