Mines fine

For downloading pictures of Captain Janeway one line at a time perhaps.

I have the Voyager box set on DVD so not an issue. But its fine for films and TV shows.

Why do they throttle your upload speed so much?

Dunno. But it's fast enough for my needs so doesn't bother me.

Fair enough, I was just curious, I thought all FTTP was symmetrical. I’m clearly wrong!

This is FTTC and then coax from there to my premises. FTTP isn't available to me.

So you may well be correct.

Land of Bad



I wouldn't say it was a gem as such but I know some of you like this type of thing

The explosions from the missles from the reaper drone were spectacular.

another thumbs-up from here - a few wince-inducing moments aside entertaining

Just enjoyed this.

Somme of the banter pre-mission were spot on, as were a numeb of the operator drills.

However, the timing near the end was too close and weakened it for me.

Oh finally The Boys seasons 4 trailer is up, can't wait to watch.

Great. Love that show. Although I was well into season 2 before I realised that the actor who plays Homelander (Antony Starr) was also the lead in Banshee.

[JagLover]

Land of Bad is well worth a watch.

A few moments that let it down a bit but a very solid action movie.

I thought it was just OK. But then I had just read the chirp chrip thread and quite a few of the annoying Hollywood tropes were in the film so were pretty jarring. Especially the fact reaper managed to drive half way across a city and onto an airforce base in ~ 2mins

Thought it was well acted though.

Especially as Mr Russell Crowe is now carrying a few extra pounds

Just discovered Troppo on FreeBee. Thomas Jane stars as a disgraced cop teamed with an ex felon who are trying to solve supposed suicides by crocodile.

I actually appreciated the fact he's fat. It's more believable that someone who flies a drone from a desk in the US 8 hours a day would be on the larger side.

But less believable that that desk jockey, with body to match, could sprint 300 yards in 10 seconds!

I believe the phrase you're both looking for is "powerfully-build Director type".

Prisoners of War, the show that inspired Homeland, had been a recent watch. If I’m honest, it drove me nuts as it was 24 episodes that could have been done in 12. It was also unbelievably corny in places, with lots of piano being played in a minor key when it really wasn’t needed. Still, passed a few hours.

Half way through series 1. It's a bit bleak.
