Sheldon will be pissed that he didn't prove the theory.

"80 years after they were first theorized, scientists have just created an artificial magnetic monopole.

Monopoles were first conceived in their modern form more than 80 years ago by Paul Dirac, one of the founders of quantum mechanics."

------------------------------------------

For those who are not fans of The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon Cooper - self-appointed-smartest-man-on-the-planet - spent 3 months with his 3 friends at the North Pole in the dead of winter trying to prove the existence of monopoles - and thought he'd succeeded - only to find his buddies faked some effects to end the hellish experience. It lead to this amusing moment. Very Happy

All right, five episodes of True Detective down, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that the last two have been the best TV since Breaking Bad.

You should really be watching this. It's outstanding.

Watched the first 4 on Sunday.

Decided to give Burn Notice a go as someone had left the first series at the flat I moved to in January.

Nothing particularly special but it's been a fun ride, in large part due to Bruce Campbell.

Went through a few stages with Jesse, started with "Who's this prick who thinks he's all that?" to "Oh FFS they are adding him to the main cast!" to "Oh, well he's still not in it that much at least" to "Actually, he's alright really".

by Brass Monkey Tue 18 Feb 2014, 07:29

Yeah, Burn Notice is pretty good. An ex-spy helped write it, so it's pretty interesting to see how shit is supposed to go down 'really' for CIA ops.

Get on episode five, stat.

I thought I knew roughly where we headed until this episode. Now I don't know what day it is.

Starts on Sky Atlantic this week - will be watching it there weekly

by LeFromage Tue 18 Feb 2014, 10:55

Bear with it. Starts slow. Dialogue heavy. But every line is very carefully crafted and your attention to detail will pay off down the line.

Also, spectacular breasts in episode two. Spectacular.

Fark me, they just changed the entire game.

...but invariably does not...having watched the 4 epi series of Persons of Interest which used film taken by Oz's uquivalent of the CIA, I conclude that spies are more keystone cops than 007,,,that said ASIO is not funny and have spied on and brutalised Oz citzens

I thought Ep 5 was the best hour of television I have seen in a very long time. Certainly since Scott and Charlene got married.

Agree wholeheartedly with the assessment of the boobage in Ep2

Even better than when Molly died?

Just seen the EP 6 preview. Looks like things are getting deeper.

That's what was missing - some Angry Anderson in the background.

But it was right up there with the "Bouncer's dream" episode.

Has anyone been watching Rectify? Any good?

Seems like True Detective is one to watch.

Trev is would say it is already locked in doe the Emmys and Harrelson and McConaughey will be fighting it out for best actor.

by Henry Thu 20 Feb 2014, 07:21

You would have got long odds five years ago that Harrelson and McConaughey would be fighting it out for a drama Emmy award in 2014. Up until recently both their careers were in the toilet, surrounded by bad comedy tasting toilet water.

by Lara Lara Laughs Sun 23 Feb 2014, 23:20

Just caught up on True Detective. Beautiful to look at. It reminds me of Kill List, Stoker, Angel Heart and some other stuff I can't pinpoint at the moment. Brilliant. Always loved Harrelson and had a massive man-crush on McConaughey since seeing Mud.

by LeFromage Sun 23 Feb 2014, 23:55

Whoa - spoilers, Laz. Spangler's watching on Sky Atlantic speed (for some reason) and is only one episode in.

Don't like Marty for it.

Spoiler:

by Brass Monkey Mon 24 Feb 2014, 00:10

Gor blimey. I just got spoilered.

Spoilered once in the A and twice in the M. Oh well.

Alls I came in here for was to say that I concur with Dello's high breastage rating and - BAM! - spoiler juice all stuck in my stubble.

Gonna need more than one wet-wipe to clean that shit up.

by LeFromage Mon 24 Feb 2014, 00:16

Not by me. I used protection.
