The Curse of King Tut was as bad as expected, or even worse. It felt like a badly scripted computer adventure game with a lead character they didn't quite get the Indiana Jones license for. There was only enough budget for a similar outfit but none of the character. He was just pathetic and don't even get me started on the "archaeology", finding Tut's death mask in a hole or the Valley of the Kings being in sight of the pyramids of Gizeh, all surrounded by a Constantine/Mummy type conspiracy. *sigh* Even Malcom McDowell wasn't his usual evil villain self.

Supernatural was just a standard revenge spirit episode without any metaplot but relatively well done.

24 last night pulled almost all of the stops. The bastards killed Edgar!, although the whole "Oh look, they managed to put a nerve gas canister somewhere else yet again" is getting a bit tired.

Tired is the word. Good night!

24 was hardcore-ariffic. I think you may have to get used to the 'putting nerve gas in places' since that's what the terrorist weapon of choice this series :Þ But Kudos for killing most of CTU... again...

It was so bad...
I must admit, I was thinking that it was just like the Mummy but with an Indy style character, and what the hell was up with Tut having metal wings?

I liked Supernatural on Sunday, Vicky was swearing when I told her the number plate was beatingu. ;o)

I was wondering if you were going to miss it because I noticed it wasn't on ITV as normal.

Yeah...

What was the number plate? I completely missed that...

It was only 15 minutes late.

I didn't see a number plate, but Vicky always compares the episodes to something else she's seen, so I decided to wind her up with that. :o)

Was it? I looked in the paper and couldn't see it, guess I must have missed it.

Ah, and I thought I was blind. ;o)

I use the Radio Times online thingy so I guess that's more up-to-date.

Quite possibly, I just happened to look in one of those weekly magazines because it had information about the new series of Doctor Who.
