Watched a couple of videos from this YT channel i discovered recently, i posted the first vid of him i watched in the Found Randomly on the ‘Net thread. But since its no longer random i’m posting this one here:
I also watched one about Virtual Insanity from Jamiroquai, which was also good.
I absolutely love “Somebody that I used to know”.
I don’t know anything about his other work but, having watched that vid, I might go have a look.
Tho, spoiler here-
“Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?” is the exact same riff. - from some DJ on Radio 2.
Hard to get that out of your head once you’ve heard it, mind.
I really like the song as well, having this background on the artist gives the song some good context 
I noticed the cameo, with the Aliens reference i assume you mean the scene where Gromit is tracking the Norbots? I definitely got the vibe from Aliens when they’re invading the med lab. Everything about the Norbots was so well realised.
I thought I posted something about this already, but maybe that was at TOP or in some other thread. Anyway, NCIS: Origins is a surprisingly good show, and not in the ironic way I enjoy NCIS. The show is set in the early 1990s, right when Leroy Jethro Gibbs (the character played by Mark Harmon in NCIS) has joined NIS, the predecessor organization to NCIS. There are a few women agents working in the office…and the show has not shied away from showing and addressing sexual harassment and discrimination. Ok, it’s more like sexual harassment and discrimination Lite, but still…they haven’t ignored what male dominated work places were like in the 90s. This surprised me, because in the first few seasons of NCIS, sexual harassment was often played for laughs, usually through the Tony Dinozzo character, and this show is not playing it for laughs.
The show, at its core, has been about trauma so for, and how people deal with trauma in both healthy and unhealthy ways. Granted, the trauma itself is not very relatable for most people, but still…that seems to be the theme.
I wouldn’t expect this series to last very long because the original NCIS began in 2003, just 12 years after the events of the first season of Origins, but still…I’m enjoying it so far.
L‘art du crime.
sort of like “Bones” but with art history instead of anthropology
Did you here about the man who smashed his car into a tree?
Now it’s just some Audi that he used to know. 
I think I also replied to you at TOP that we’re watching it as well. This prequel keeps us wanting more. The acting is really good and their use of music to set a scene works wonderfully—it’s not just playing a song for the sake of playing music. I feel like they hit a homerun with this prequel, which means it probably won’t last because what I like tends to not be popular. Sigh.
Kyle Schmid is soooo good as the younger Mike Franks.
Or even the entire episode, if you’ve seen episode 10. The title of the episode is Blue Bayou, and that song plays a big part in the episode.
ETA: And I feel you about the fear that it won’t last. I know fans of NCIS: Hawaii were upset because they blame Origins for the cancellation of that series, and there was talk of boycotting Origins, but I have no idea if that has continued.
Yep. I was wondering why Linda Ronstadt’s Blue Bayou when they could’ve used Roy Orbison’s version or CCR’s Born on the Bayou. And then I thought maybe because the episode is about Ruth’s (landlord) voice, and specifically the women in his life.
That was an excellent episode.
I think it was also chosen so the marines in the bar picking on Gibbs for playing that song on the jukebox would be more believable. I don’t think they would be upset at someone playing Born on the Bayou.
That’s also true and he’s playing it because it’s Ruth’s song.
That brings me to another thing that I like. Going back to stuff that happens in previous episodes but we the audience haven’t seen yet. It was either the first or second episode in which the other NIS agents allude to the fight but we don’t see it…until episode 10.
This was the only thing that I found a bit odd. Oceanside still was a smaller town in the 80s and early 90s–and presumably this is one of maybe two bars where marines frequented–but they don’t spot him as a former marine? I mean, the haircut should have been a huge flag. 
You would also think they would all know who he was anyway. I would imagine the Gunny whose wife and daughter were murdered would be common knowledge around there.
I think “that he used to own” works better?
