Black-Adder, with Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson.

Very funny at first, but went on for a season too long imho.

He was also in this really funny show about a rich buffoon and his butler... Giles and Rooster?

[Flipside]

Yes, because the world has so few stupid people that it really needs people to pretend....

[Ford Prefect]

Sorry, I just really wanted to use that one. As penance, I'll comment on the original thread topic:

I've realized that J.J. Abrams making a Star Trek movie is beyond my wildest hopes and dreams for the franchise. He's the only way a watchable Star Trek movie could've been made-- a fun, mainstream director who doesn't know **** about Star Trek.

yea get back on topic or bring forth total nukage

^how ww3 gets started

[Nuclear1]

It's certainly the first ST Movie I've actually had my interested piqued in for a long time

Mine too.

I've got a graduation ceremony Thursday morning, but almost immediately afterwards my entire immediate family is going to go camp out in the nearest movie theater until the midnight showing starts.  We'll be probably getting there at around 3 in the afternoon.

You sir are no longer fit to be British.

Please turn in your esoteric humor and tea cup.

Bollocks, if I wasn't complaining about something, then I wouldn't be English...

It's Europes second-favourite past-time, after dreaming up stereotypes about everyone else in Europe

You didn't like Blackadder Goes Forth????

[Flipside]

I'd watched the three previous series, it was kind of like Red Dwarf, hilarious at first, and then they kept trying to expand the cast, which made it all go horribly wrong...

[Ghostavo]

But they had the same actors in different roles. Exactly the same as in the previous series.

[Flipside]

They kept throwing third-party actors into the mix, or giving bit-part actors larger roles, such as 'Bob the Girl' etc, it wasn't unfunny, but a lot of it I'd seen before in various formats in earlier series of BlackAdder, about the only part of the series I genuinely got a laugh out of was Adders' communication with the RAF, which went along the lines of 'Where are you, you bastards?' and his telegram to Charlie Chaplin which read 'Please, please, please. STOP'.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom

The only bad thing about blackadder is they didn't make more of it. Every episode was an instant classic for me. Of course, Flipside has the right to think otherwise - one of the flaws of democracy is that it allows people to be so very wrong

[karajorma]

Not to mention that you could sit down a panel of historians for 5 years to explain the causes of the First World War and you still wouldn't get a better one than the one Blackadder gave.

Back to the topic.



And more recently; Zachary Quinto is the only thing making the whole thing rise above average.

Its still crazy that he's Sylar.

That's like, the least spockish character ever.
