Alerting/Waiting/Flailing Post for Mark Watches Videos (for January 14 - 18 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 (or on Twitter) to say there’s something new ready to download. SERIOUSLY.

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

BABYLON 5

Upcoming and returning shows for 2019: https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/2019-tv-shows-bes...

Of the returning shows, I greatly look fw to the new seasons of Brooklyn 99, The Good Place and GLOW (I love GLOW and think it would make a wonderful Mark Watches project! IIRC Mark has said that he likes wrestling.) Also excited to see the finales of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and iZombie (although I wasn't too enamored of the last season). I will give the new season of Star Trek Discovery a go but I'm not that optimistic. I was kinda lukewarm on the previous season, too. The same goes for The 100 (which manages to keep up the excitement but it's all getting a bit same-y). If I have time, I might give the second season of Barry a go - the first season seemed very much like a Bill Hader vanity project to me but Harry Winkler is just fantastic in it and I'm mildly curious where Hader might take the story next.

But of course, the returning show I'm most looking forward to is the second season of American Gods - if it's even half as spectacular as the first season I will be a happy camper. I wonder if Mark would ever consider watching this. AFAIK he's never watched a TV adaptation of a book he's already read, right?

Of the new shows, Black Monday sounds fantastic. I love me some Don Cheadle and I used to work in finance. Ditto I am the Night, a noir with Chris Pine. And George Clooney, Kyle Chandler (COAAAAACH!!!!) and Hugh Laurie are starring in a miniseries of Catch-22 whaaaaaat.

And of course, most excited about Good Omens!!!!!

Things I'm skeptical about: Apparently HBO is doing an adaptation of His Dark Materials with James McAvoy (!) and Lin Manuel Miranda (!!)????? Eeeeek. That could either turn out amazing or go the way of The Golden Compass. There's also a new season of Veronica Mars in the works, but I didn't think either the movie or the books measured up to the greatness of the TV series so I'm a bit doubtful here.

So much good TV! The benefit of Mark reducing the number of reviews per week is that I will have more time to put a dent in my to-watch list :) What are you looking forward to most?

Happy FRIDAY!
Two questions for you guys:

1) What has been your experience with Wellbutrin, if you've taken it? I just got a prescription and I've done a little research on it, but personal experiences are also good to know, if you're willing to share.

AND

2) Any tips for first-time tattoos? Me and my sister are getting one tomorrow in memory of my dad and it's both of ours first time getting one.
