Watched multiple episodes or movies in a series recently? Post about it here and how it went. Even if it's a TV DVD that you watched all the eps in one sitting, that still counts.

My most recent was getting up to speed on the entire series of Fringe, but that was months ago. It's an entertaining show, but it became increasingly apparent that they weren't all that sure where to go with the story.

Oh, and I also watched the first twenty or so eps of Jackie Chan Adventures on Netflix w/ my nephew over the Christmas holidays. There were a few in there that I don't think I had seen before. But, that show really was poorly titled. It should have been "The JADE Chan Adventures (featuring Jackie)". :P

I've had a few HBO series marathons in the last month and a half:
Boardwalk Empire S1
The Pacific
John From Cincinnati

and got the GF started on The Wire, so I've seen two seasons of that in three weeks. Which is great on all counts. And she's talking about re-watching Lost now too.

Thanks to Blockbuster Online, I've resumed a marathon of Martin. I have Netflix and started it back in February last year, then stopped in August where I finished the third season, and Netflix has since had the fourth season on hold for some reason or the other. So that's why I'm taking advantage of Blockbuster Online.

Netflix has Heroes available for instant viewing, and I started on it in late November last year, but haven't watched since December, and I left off after the tenth episode of the first season. The story seems to just drag on, and a good number of people I know said they lost interest because of that. So I'm wondering if I should even bother to continue.

Unless you really like soap operas with superpowers, I suggest you get out now. The show was finally cancelled, and ended at a fitting point, but the pretentious melodrama is a little much... frequently.

I kind of still want to see what else develops, but I'll definitely bail if things get to be too much for me.

Oh man, Heroes gets seriously bad. :P I forced myself through Season Two and then into Season Three before my love of superheroes was trumped by my hatred of poor writing. The show just never seems to have a plan, and in interviews the creator was trying to pass that off as the show's style. I found it offensive that he'd say he was writing it like comic books. He should have said really bad comic books.

It had a few great episodes (Bryan Fuller was usually the writer), but it never failed to drop the ball on its best plot twists IMO. There was always a lot of build-up that went nowhere or just back to where it started. I got bored of the cheerleader fast.

Telly show-wise, last marathon I had was the latest series of Doctor Who, which I got for christmas. Before that it was Berry & Fulcher's Snuff Box. For the third time.

Movie-wise I had a Tarantino overdose* when Inglorious Basterds came out on DVD.

Supernatural ~ The Animation eps 1-6 English dub
So, when I kept reading that Jared and Jensen would be voicing their characters in only one ep of the dub, I knew that a misquote was afoot. The good/bad news is that they meant to say that only one of them voices their own character in each ep. I'm a little bummed that it's only a half-hour show. That leaves hardly any time to spend on throwing in a little comedy. Of these six eps, they were all adaptations, some more heavily remixed than others. On the whole, it was decent. In comparison to the live-action series, it was a bit boring. Hopefully, the next batch is better.

I can't figure out who that was covering Kansas's 'Carry On, My Wayward Son' though, and I'm not terribly motivated to look it up either.

Finished Chuck - Season 2 a few days ago. I'm really enjoying this show. The only gripes I have about this season are that there were several conflicts that were brought up in one ep, and never mentioned again. Aside from that, I'm identifying with the character of Chuck. Thinkin' I almost oughtta sue for likeness. :P

Never actually watched Chuck, but one of my favourite bands has a song on the finale of season 2. They're called Slow Club, the song is called Christmas TV.

EDIT
Turns out they also have another song, When I Go, on a season 4 ep. Man, I love that band. Supposed to be seeing them in may, but its been postponed until september, dammit! Looks like Chuck might be alright, least there's some decent music in there!

I've recently finished watching all episodes of Martin. I wonder if I can ever watch that show again though, since in the last few episodes, Tisha Campbell hadn't been showing up. Even in the episodes where she did show up, she wasn't in the same scenes with Martin Lawrence, and it just didn't look right. From what I understand, this has to do with a fallout that occurred between the two actors.

I'm currently working on My So-Called Life, and only have four more episodes to go. I never saw one millisecond of that show back in the 90s, so I thought I'd give it a go now that Netflix has it up for instant viewing.

Supernatural ~ The Animation, eps 7-12
I'm a bit surprised that they're adapting some storylines from beyond the first season already. Really don't care for some of the new interpretations of characters still. I was hoping this batch might change my mind about the series, but it's still consistently blah. Not bad, but just not nearly as awesome as the show...

I kinda agree...I didn't mind Hulk Vs. Thor, but I really liked Hulk Vs. Wolverine, it should have been longer, though it told a great story with the time it had.

:oAwk-ward!:o

But Barbara clearly had a thing for Batman as far back in the DCAU continuity as the last episode of the original series, "Batgirl Returns."

And then she discusses it in retrospect in Batman Beyond, "A Touch of Curaré."

Eternally between 30 and 35?

It's odd, I actually think Bruce wasn't so interested in Barbara romantically. But Batman apparently was interested in Batgirl. That's a bit of a twist on a familiar theme. Usually it's the main hero who can't get the girl interested in their alter-ego.

Aren't they making another Apes movie soon?

Also, do you think all five of the original films are meant to be viewed as a vicious cycle? Charlton Heston goes forward in time, Earth gets destroyed by a nuke, family of Apes go back in time to earth, Apes become a violent force that overtakes mankind, Earth gets remade in the image of the Apes, Charlton Heston arrives from the past, rinse & repeat?

At the end of Battle for... there are Apes and Human children listening at the feet of the Lawgiver...then she sends Mike and the Bots a movie...wait...that's not right. I knew I shouldn't do multiple marathons at once.

EDIT: Why is the scene where Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch (man that was a bad pun, even by my standards.) find the destroyed satellite and play back the tapes remind me of Notes from the Underground?

For the first time, I had to admit that it looked like the writers were unsure where they were taking the story over the firsrt few eps. It was like they knew that they wanted to make this season about his mom, but hadn't really decided anything else until the last minute. But, I absolutely love the direction they set for the next season. :thyper: I love this show so much. :tlove:

Marathoning the Superman movies: To the moon, Nuclear Man!

Speaking of 2 and 4 together, "Stop! Don't do it! The people!" They really liked that line.

I guess if Clark had used the crystal in Donner's 2 to power back up he couldn't in 4. That'd be a shame.

Beware Nuclear Man's Lee Press-on Nails of DOOM!!!

Little Known Super Powers - Repair-o-vision!

Lois seems AWOL in the last 2 films. I guess it allows Clark to see other people. Lana I can buy, not Lacy.

Ok...Lex's Nephew Lenny Luthor (John Cryer) deserves all he gets. Heck, Lex has siblings?

On to the much maligned Superman 4. I actually like Nuclear Man...What?

Is the Dark Superman in Superman 3 the movies' Bizarro?

Superman 3 - Brought to you by Camel Cigarettes. Richard Pryor smokes 'um, how 'bout you?

On to my old friend Superman 3. Man this movie is bad.

The Diner owner even says he just fixed the place, but Clark erased that by flying...oh nevermind!

The return of Super Pettiness. I mean in this "timeline" that guy never even hit Clark.

Donner really liked the "flying the world the wrong direction = reverse time" schtick.

Yea! One of my "favorite" plot devices from Superman 1 makes a come back.

*Superman heat visions the Fortress to the ground* Fortresses of Solitude are overrated anyway.

I just noticed...does Zod speak in the 3rd person the whole movie? Silly me. :D

Donner removed the cellophane "S" bit, good call. :D

Superman 2 - Brought to you by Marlboro Cigarettes. Lois smokes 'um, how 'bout you?

I know they call it Metropolis, but it's New York. I mean there's the Statue of Liberty...

At least Donner's Cut of Superman 2 makes the "undo button" on the depowering make some sense.

"Come to me Superman, if you dare! I defy you! Come! Come kneel before Zod! ZOD!!"

On Superman II: Donner did it better!

Little known super powers - Super Pettiness. Seriously, Clark just had to go back and make that dude pay.

Little known super powers - Super-amnesia kiss.

3 and 4 get a lot of grief, but 1 and 2 have some earthshateringly stupid moments, too.

"Marathoning the Superman movies:" could stand to be removed from each line. The comments kinda seem to jump back a forth too, which is a little hard to follow.

BTW, in case you aren't aware, there are two continuities here. I, II, III, Supergirl & IV or I, II: Donner Cut & Returns. At least, that's how I understand it.

Ah. So, the two-part season finale was the one ep that Jensen reprised his role for that I keep hearing about. I still instantly recognize what live-action eps these are based on. They're still all kinda boring, but these eps were a tad less so. I just wonder if they'll ever have any plots that aren't obvious lifts from the live-action series in the future. :ohwell:

Marathoning the Superman movies: Supergirl counts, right?
Omegahedron, scomgeahedron, we all know the problem boils down to they both want the same man.
Oh and I forgot, Little Known Super Powers: Spontaneous Cloths and Hair Changing.
I mean we all know Supergirl's powers allow her to just make cloths she needs, and change her hair color.
Lex wants to conquer the world or grab up land...Selena wants a MAN!
Supergirl: "I'm on a never ending quest to save my boyfriend."

On to Superman Returns. You'll believe a crappy CG model can fly!
So Superman is gone for 9 years and Lex doesn't try anything and Lois doesn't die? I don't buy it.
I mean seriously everything happens just as Superman comes back.
And no one puts 2 & 2 together about Clark and Superman coming back at the same time?
Little Known Super Powers: Super Stalking. You were gone for a decade, of course she moves on.
Seriously CG Superman's cape looks like it's made of Play-Doh.

I agree with all points... plus several more. Returns was terrible. The airplane sequence was very cool and well done but the rest of the movie was slow, boring, and just stupid. Superman was such a shy wuss.

Any one notice Raph using Donatello's bo in the scene where the guys face the Foot at the TGRI building?

To "finish" the Howling marathon, I watched Howling 4 and Reborn...man this series sucked...and it went 8 installments, what the heck! None of them were particularly good. The 1st and IMO 6th were the "best," but that's not saying much.

I've got just the final ep left in my powering through TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES-- not a perfect series at all, but it was a veritable parade of actors I recognized from other series: several from The Wire, one from Breaking Bad, and the always fun "hey.. wait... he was on Square One!!"

Evil Dead II & Army Of Darkness

I hadn't realized I was watching the US version of AOD until I noticed two scenes edited. So, this was my first time ever watching the US & JP versions back-to-back. I have to say that the US cut is mostly inferior. It has a less impressive use of the soundtrack. There are only two or three dialogue changes that were improvements. And, the S-Mart ending was far less boring.

Jester

It sounds like yor going chronological by when series aired. If I am not mistaken Dragonball's three series started around 1989. Spider-Man started in 1992 the same time X-Men did. Watching marathon after marathon would make my head spin. Watching episodes a day for eight days was a little much. I guess I need to work on pacing! :trazz:

I hear you. I remember being in middle school and while I was apart of the Pok'emon craze a lot also really were into DBZ that was going through its original U.S. airings at the time. Never could get into it but my sibling has all the DVDS of DB,DBZ, and DBGT. If there is anything Jester says is "must see" I may cave after 13 years. I have a bad movie taste myself having seen The Towering Inferno,Cannonball II, and Murder By Death in last couple of weeks.So if Jester thinks its worthy of my attention after years of shrugging my shoulders you never know... :trazz:

I have not heard of the two you listed but ironically enough The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is in my Netflix queue! Talk about the odds.

I have only seen a few of those type of movies that you and the TMNT love so like Santa Conquers The Martians(title is misleading),The Blob(Steve McQueen and Aneta "Hellen Crump" Corseaunt), The Fly(original, you can guess why:twink:), Invasion of The Body Snatchers, The Raven(1963)-put Jack Nicholson on the map,and if it counts Young Frankenstein.

Still working on DBZ.

Piccolo is taking Buu to the hyperbolic time chamber, and Dende mentions that if the door is destroyed then Buu (and the boys) would be trapped in the other dimension. Odd to hear that used literally and not as a euphemism for death.

Also I fond Trunks line about warriors dragging out their battles to be very ironic, considering how this series drags things on...and on...and on...

Randon question: Why is Gohan the only half-Saiyan to have a tail?

Jester

More random DBZ nonsense: So Goku and Vegeta are fighting Kid Buu on the sacred planet of the Kais. Goku is recuperating, while Vegeta takes a beating and has to be saved by Hercule Satan (he, Dende, and I think even Bee the Dog are also there.) But why doesn't Dende just aide Goku in his getting his strength with his healing abilities?

EDIT: Dende went to New Namec. Whoops.

Finished the series, now on to the DBZ movies. i thought about trying to plug them into continuity, but I've read online that has its issues, so I decided to watch them after the series proper.

On The Return of Cooler now. Why the heck were Oolong, Roshi, and Yajirobe brought along exactly?

Good question, maybe Trunks and Goten did have one orinally but they got hacked off like Goku and Vegetas did

On to Dragon Ball GT. So Goku and company have to reaquire the Black Star Dragon Balls that Pilaf used to wish Goku back to childhood or else the Earth after a year will be destroyed. But what if someone else finds the Dragon balls and makes a wish, does it save Earth and put their planet at risk or does it destroy the Earth and THEN put that planet at risk?

Yes, this is the JLA vs Legion of Doom season. Its available on DVD here:http://www.amazon.com/Challenge-Super-Friends-Classic-Collection/dp/B00023E88U

I would go for it. Its a great deal. I just picked up from Wal-Mart for $12 and this is a similar price off of Amazon. Great combination of epic and cheesy.

Now that Goku is a Super Saiyan 4 all the other Super Saiyans (save Vegeta, who himself will eventually become a SS4) have become glorified human(oid) batteries... :roll:

Now that Goku is a Super Saiyan 4 all the other Super Saiyans (save Vegeta, who himself will eventually become a SS4) have become glorified human(oid) batteries... :roll:

Yeah, in my opinion Gohan's Super Saiyan Lv.2 in the Cell Games was about as high as my believability tolerance went. Even back in the Dragonball days, characters like Master Roshi were powerful enough to blow up the freakin' moon. And Vegeta could have destroyed the earth if he really wanted in the first Saiyen saga. So once you've established that, how much more powerful can those guys really get before the planet breaks apart after every stray energy attack?

I don't even find the SS4 visually appealing, much less exciting. The plots weren't so much about characters learning skills or training hard, but simply about transforming into increasingly more absurd levels of Super Saiyan. The shark had long since been jumped on the DragonBall universe.

I think Vegeta said it best on the eve of the Buu Saga:

I thought something similar.

My exact thought was, "Over the the entire life of the Saiyan race, only this small group of Saiyans were able to achieve this state? Noone had ever become a Super Saiyan 2-4 before? Really? Just these particular Sayians?"

For the last 4-5 months I've seen
- New Adventures of He-Man: took me a year and a half actually - worst installment in all the MOTUverse after Dolph Lundgren crap;
- Biker Mice from Mars (original): I love first 17 episodes since I was a kid, but in the second season show ditched the guest-super-villain-of-the-week formula and became mostly unfunny and had 4 filler episodes with flashbacks;
- The Real Ghostbusters (only those episodes I didn't watched before): again, with each new season it's got only worse, and sometimes even J. Michael Straczynski and Michael Reaves couldn't provide a decent story (Ghost Busted for example);
- Guyver: The Bio-Boosted Armor: I'm starting to like this one more and more each time I'm watching it, even Mizuki isn't that annoying anymore thanks to EngDub. My only gripe is that they didn't use story about bitten off hand from manga;
- Skeleton Warriors: re-watched this in **th time and still love it. Bonus features on DVD was cool too, but Gary Goddards was repetitive at the very least (he basically used the same sentences in documentary, commentary and booklet);
- The Fly (original trilogy): The Fly (1958 ) was a perfect sci-fi story in detective style with chilling twist (I think I saw the ending when I was a kid), Return of the Fly (1959) was strange continuation of a good self-contained movie that didn't need continuation, and Curse of the Fly (1965) was a really bad movie which had very weak connection to the first two (though the idea of a "curse" was interesting).

Right now I'm in the second season of JL/JLU (trying to watch all DCAU since January of 2011). Next on schedule is New TMNT s1-2, X-Men TAS, ExoSquad, Dark Angel and The Fly I & II of 80's. If I'll have enough time to watch it all before summer.

I think apart of the problem is the lack of super villains to go up against.Before Challenge it was mostly just mad scientist and alien threats that did not let them shine. The junior trio and the Wonder Twins did not help any either.

Aww man I LOVE Super Friends. The Legendary Super Powers & Galactic Guardians are both pretty great quality shows. As far as the good ol' fashioned cornball Episodes, Challenge is my favorite over all though, and the shorts are the easiest for me to watch(many of which aren't on dvd yet).
The Lost Episodes set is a fair example of that. You get a 7-8 minute adventure, just enough before I start to lose interest.

My marathons take me months and months. I always seem to get distracted or uninterested for a while. I've almost watched all of The Wonder Years on Netflix since December. I'm into Season 4 of The Incredible Hulk now. Been working on that for over a year now.

over the last two weeks I have been marathoning the Berserk anime series that came out in 1997 and I've gotta say it is seriously a good series. I got hooked on it right away and was surpriced at how invested I became in all the characters. I even enjoyed the english dub of this series which surprising was pretty good for a dub made back in the 90's I actually liked the voices choosen for the characters. When I looked into them I was also surprised to find that several of the voices have played a part in 4KIDS programs even the 2k3 turtle series. The voice actor for the main character Guts was voiced by Marc Diraison who did the voices of, Raptar in Wing and a Prayer, Ruffington in Nobody. And the girl Casca is voiced by Carolyn Keranen who is the voice of Ananda and that sexist knight who gets knocked off his horse is voiced by Mike Pollock
whis is the unltimate ninja. I I think we can all hear "Goku" whos voice actor has one alot in 2k3 turtles:
