I'll be in bunbury! Keen as a bean, awesome lineup

I'm considering starting a "Top 20 Cruyff moments" thread. Feel free to send suggestions.

You're missing a zero!

Prison Break -

Thank ****

Spoiler

Wighett is dead in PB. Hated that ******.

But also

Spoiler

so sad Bellick died

Bellick was a dick

 

[SM]

Bellick was a dick

He has a great redemption arc though.

 

[jd2010]

Yeah true. I tend to hold grudges better than most with tv shows or sports people for that matter

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah I was sad when he died. Definitely a much different character from S1. Same with Mahone, really like him now too.

 

[Loonerty]

Unlucky if you did want to watch Prison Break...

 

[jd2010]

Didn't it finish 5 years ago?

There's a season on right now

 

[RPCB]

It finished its final season (4) in 2009 and they've come back with a season 5 this year.

 

[jd2010]

But everything spoken about happened 5 years ago? Doubt anyone who hasn't watched seasons 1-4 by now will take it up.

They may well in order to watch the new series on now.

Hell we get spoiler tags for Sopranos and that finished 14 years ago.

Sopranos is considered one of the best shows of all time. Prison break is good but doubt it would get the same sort of thing where people start to watch it 10 years later

If there was any point someone would randomly pick it up, I'd guess it'd be when a new season is currently airing on TV.

That's true. I'd be surprised if many hadn't already seen it by now. Was huge on free to air back when free to air was a thing. I just doubt many on here who'd be keen hadn't already seen it

 

[Cruyff14]

I spoilered the main bits in PB. Saying Bellick has a redemption arc isn't that much of a 'spoiler' per se.

Will be buying again. One of the greatest albums ever for me.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

I'll be buying that for sure!

Kiwis losing their shit because their students will be charged international student fees if they go to uni in Australia. So they should tbh. They're excuse is it's a reciprocal relationship being ended. That would be a good argument but the number of students going to Australia from here vs Aussies coming here is about 20:1

I've heard Mad Men is an excellent series, so might give it a try with my next series. I am up to season 3, episode 10 of The Wire at the moment. I am planning when I finish that up to replay the games from the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection before delving into another TV Series and Mad Men sounds like as good as any to get into.

The Shield is good to follow up The Wire on.

Its a money grab its not right. They already are extremely greedy with their fees.

Isolating our kiwi bros is not cool.

 

[jd2010]

It's not isolating it's just being realistic. No Aussie high school student is thinking about going to uni in Dunedin or Christchurch. The few that do come over have family links here already. It's a completely one way relationship and our govt has decided to end it. No big deal
