Just watched the latest episode of Thundercats and I have to say: that's more like it! After those plain weird fishmen in a ship in the desert, it's nice to see the story getting back on track. The story arc so far reminds me a bit of Avatar - band of heroes journeying to a remote destination while being pursued by enemies. I hope it will become as epic as Avatar.
About X-Files: amusingly, the good seasons are the only ones I've seen so far. I have yet to see the bad seasons 7-8-9. I enjoy the show most of the time, but it has never truly grabbed me. Maybe I came to the show too late - I only started watching it last year, starting at the first season. I just don't understand why this show was such a phenomenon. And Glactica 1980 is an abomination that should be burned.
Anyway, I just finished Highlander: The Search for Vengeance and I liked it. It can easily be watched without prior knowledge of the franchise. On the other hand, it does feel at home for older fans - it adheres to the rules as set out in the tv series. Interestingly, one of the characters is voiced by Jim Byrnes, who played Joe Dawson in the series. The plot is reminiscent of the original movie, albeit with more violence - and no Gathering, which is probably for the best.
