Is Stormfront doing that or is there some other Supe we haven't seen yet?

There's a couple of scenes that are excellent gif material too, Maeve's table flip and Butcher drinking tea

They do make gifs difficult to share on forums don’t they?

Easy as makin' a cuppa.

S6 of House is kind of all over the place. The relationship with Wilson and Taub carry it through really because everything else is just full of the main characters making stupid decisions and acting in a way no rational person would. There are some great episodes and cases but a lot of it is pretty far off the rails.

That is until the final few episodes which I think is the best season finale the show has in its entire run. I suppose you could say Kutners suicide kicks the whole thing off, but the follow up (even though it has Cameron acting stupid beyond belief) is where it really shifts in to gear and the climax to the episode where he’s playing piano and then sees Amber is just perfect :wub:

Alex Rider renewed - https://www.geektown.co.uk/2020/11/10/a ... -season-2/

I haven't watched season 1 yet but I understand it's based on the second book. Fair enough because they already made a terrible film based on the first book. Why skip book 3 though and go straight to book 4 for season 2? Maybe because Yassen's not in book 3?

Final episode of Supernatural definitely got to me. I originally watched S1-6 whenever it was on Netflix years ago and been watching it weekly since then so will be strange now it's gone. It might not be perfect and I know a lot of people dropped off after S5 when it was originally meant to end but it was still a fantastic show overall. And with how long it went, it let experiment a lot with some weird one-off episodes like all the meta stuff, Scooby Doo, the episode filmed in the car etc.

Jensen Ackles is also great and will look forward to whatever he does next, I know he's already been cast in The Boys S3.

Whilst I have enjoyed every season, the last few have been kinda scraping the barrel a bit in my view and I've found myself watching more out of habit. It is definitely no longer a show I will rush to watch as soon as a new episode is available.

I don't think I've watched the last two seasons.
