I see I'm not getting an apology for your slur.
It was just a joke, some provocative banter. But speaking seriously I do think I said anything untrue. If it's up to you you'll only watch old British shows that you have already seen, which to me is weird because normally people prefer to watch new shows, new movies, read new books, watch new plays and dislike watching what they already have. It's OK, that's the way you roll. But please, "slur" is way, way overreacting. Or we're having a brutal cultural gap here.
If you remember I said myself and Doc Omega had done a B7 review would you like to contribute.
At this point I no loner know if the cat is in the bag or the bag in the cat, but I do know I coordinated the transition and voting and that was carried on according to the rules of the Sages of the Single Season, so I understood you guys were joining our group and not the other way around.
All I and I believe the other newbies wanted was good ol' Sages like the old days, choose a show and stick with it.
Not that that meant anything to you when you left Kolchak. But it's in the name of that that I'll remain with our current nasty Cat. But just for the record,
the fact that the Sages never failed to finish a show referred to the Sages as a group, not the behavior of a particular individual.
" lets pick another show, Mad Pac can do that one, The TR 2070 sages, but the rest of us will do the runner up. Be honest, you'd be livid..
I sure would. And I'm glad that never ever happened. First, I didn't leave and take everyone with me leaving you alone like in you insane example. I started another board and those who wanted, came. Including you, by the way with Star Cops. Second, even I started Star Cops, I didn't leave Blake's 7. The fact I left it later has nothing to do with the previous fact, it was just that the show is terrible. Likewise, I'm not leaving Catweazle (unless you guys kick me out or something) and since I'm organizing that board there's no way I can leave without acknowledging the fact my old group is dead. (Or maybe not.) Long story short, I'm not leaving the Cat show.
What's the point of carrying on with this iteration of The Sages?
Well, our thing has continued throughout the years since about 2009, just with different people, and long before they were called Sages. It's in the name of this tradition I don't want to kill the idea. I'm glad to think I'm having a kind of interaction that somehow reminds me of the one I had in 2016, 2013, 2011... The good aspect at least. But yeah, if Brimfin, mainly, and cloister56 leave that's it. That group is definitely defunct and this is a whole new party. We are already a minority, so in objective terms the old timers are the intruders.
If another show is picked after you've done WTP, if you don't like it you'll ignore it and do something else.
I've been thinking about that. I think for that board these new times require a new rule, the veto power. Regular and consistent members should have VETO POWER over a show even if it's picked by the majority. You know, like the UN Security Council. It works for the UN, it could work for us. In the old times that was not necessary because there was a gentleman's agreement: we simply wouldn't pick a show if it terribly annoyed one of our friends. Those were innocent times. But now gentlemen's agreements no longer work, so if an active member says "no way I'm watching this show" the group should pick another even if a couple dudes love it to death. This should be something to be enjoyed, no a reason to bite the bullet show after show. In my case, three shows already: Blake's 7, Star Cops and now Catweazle, that is, shows I dislike a great deal and wouldn't watch otherwise. And if I had remained quiet I'm sure there would be another show like this and another one after that. How many should be enough? How many did you endure when we non-Brits were calling the shots?
Of course you have done nothing wrong .
I'm glad to hear that. Even though that sounds terribly like a controversial meme going around, ("Mario did nothing wrong" and my picture in it), but I'm sure this was not intentional from your part. But if it was, I'm really amazed and your knowledge of Internet culture is impeccable. Then I'm offended and in awe at the same time.
As Doc says lets be honest and part ways.
I don't know about you, but I'm not going anywhere besides covering a few shows I can actually enjoy in parallel. Is that too much to ask? I'm sure you don't want me to be miserable and mopey all the time, do you? Come to think of it, if I get a tiny amount of my comfort zone stranded here in the middle of the Northern Sea, my mood might just improve and I might even see something good in Catweazle. Come to think of it, it's a win-win situation!
BTW even if magic is true in the world of Catweazle, it isn't a flaw, just an interesting angle,
Not a flaw per se, just a plothole considering the premise of the show. Unless the writers explicitly leave it clear that Catweazle was never meant to be seen as a superstitious fool who thinks the most elementary science is magic. If everything turns out to be magic from the get-go, including electrickery and telling bones, I admit you're right. WHICH MEANS NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL, because you have already seen the goddamn show, as usual, and again, as usual, you already know everything that is going to happen, including secret interviews given by the actors and writers and awards I have never heard of, you had years and years to think about this show, you've formulated and read every conceivable theory about the story, and as far as debating is concerned, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION OF ADVANTAGE against someone watching the show for the first time, just the way you like it.
No, seriously, the series was sold in four DVDs, and this is the cover of the first.
