New series of Misfits, yey!
I quite like the new guy. Though....yeah, a bit obvious of a funny guy replacement.
Though it seems everyone has pretty shitty powers this time around....well, except Simon- uncertain if he has the black kid's time thing (only better controlled) or if he has some sort of different Prince of Persiaesque power.

watched "Beginners" Sad Ewan MacGregor talks to his dad's dog, has an affair with a needy French chick, while recovering from the death of his late outta the closet gay dad (Christopher Plummer, also playing subdued sad gay dad.)

flashback heavy movie with telepathic Jack Russell Terrier and Mopey Obi Wan as cartoonist...

i liked it? sort of... kind of hard to get a handle on the point of this mishmash of relationship as grief therapy.

6.9 cute/creepy young gay lovers of your dad in your face all the damn time outta 10

Sounds a bit like a spiritual successor to Misfits of Science (a show I loved as a kid).

Not really. There was another show on recently that was more of a successor.  It was painfully boring though. Don't even remember the name of it.
PDH!

Though it had its dragging moments, The Walking Dead was much better this week.  :)

Forgot to PVR it. Hopefully they run it again sometime this week.  :mad:
it's AMC. all they do is repeat their shows
Just saw it. You didn't miss much.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Watched two of my favorite X-Files episodes:

D.P.O.
Guest starring Givovanni Ribisi as borderline retarded teen loser in Bumfuck, Oklahoma and Jack Black as his beer drinking less retarded teen loser sidekick.

Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
Great comedy and melancholy at the same time, thanks to the perfect Peter Boyle whose character is a great precursor for his Ed Anger Frank Barone character from Everybody Loves Raymond that started a year after this episode.

And we learn that Mulder dies from self-asphyxiation.

It was auto-erotic self asphyxiation.
PDH!

Yeah, but that's how the guest character Clyde Bruckman (Peter Boyle) dies, though during the episode we are first made to think he's referring to Mulder (and given Mulder's love for smut it wouldn't be a surprise).
