Jayenkai	BBC's War of the Worlds View on YouTube The BBC have finally released the date for their blockbuster War of the World serial. The war begins on Sunday, 17th of Nov, at 9pm. Looking forward to this one! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Episode One's been and gone. Catch up on iPlayer, etc.. Thoughts > Reveal 🔎 They've padded out the intro to make there be more story between the journalist and his love interest, as well as giving the brother more of a storyline. People on Twitter are whinging their arses off that this makes the whole thing a lot slower, and more "drama than sci-fi", but .. shrugs didn't kill the flow of the story, for me. The whole thing seemed to flow at a steady pace, and then everything really got going once the tripods appeared. I have no issues with the pacing, whatsoever. Don't go in, expecting it to "jump into action" like the Tom Cruise version did. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Krakatomato	I watched the first episode last night and quite enjoyed it. However, you need to turn your brain off somewhat to get past the pointless padding and the awful (and I mean, REALLY AWFUL) editing. Hopefully the following episodes will improve it.

Jayenkai	Episode Two > Reveal 🔎 A little too much "flash forward"y for Mum. She found it hard to follow. Otherwise, things moved along nicely. Interesting to see a group dynamic. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Episode Three That was, without a doubt, one of the most.. > Reveal 🔎 dullest hours of TV I've ever watched in my life. Nothing happened. NOTHING.. They hid, and then there were aliens, but otherwise they all kinda sat about and had a chat, and some of them died and then there was a bit of extremely dodgy science, and a bit of cloud.. but otherwise.. Nope.. Nothing.. Dull-a-Rama.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Is that it now? I've been recording it; I'm not sure I'll bother watching them now, given your less than stellar review.

Jayenkai	Yup, the whole story's over, so feel free to give it a whirl any time you have a free three hour slot that you're willing to waste... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
