With great sadness, the final episode of MythBusters! Yes, they did go out with a bang. Even then, a little science was applied, 50,000 frames per second film of the explosions. The shock wave was incredible, you can see where the devastation comes from!

My brother is staying over, so I re-watched, and he for the first time, the latest Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.

He nodded off and fell asleep.

I had to wake him when he started snoring...

MythBusters Reunion. Fun to see all five of them back together doing some reminiscing! They did actually add to science in a valuable way. They tripled the previous findings on firing a bullet straight up. They also published a paper in the journals on methane in sewers, and exploding manhole covers. Changed the previous theories completely. There were more examples, not bad for a cable show!

I thought it was a fitting send-off to the series. I only wish they had moved that ludicrous-speed-camera farther away, or hadn't zoomed in so tight. I love seeing the shock waves in the high-speed footage every time, and felt they didn't really show that properly in either of the explosions in this final episode.

It was interesting to see how emotional they got (except for the Hyneman, of course) while reading and viewing the examples of the impact the show had on viewers' lives. Not bad indeed.

Series finale of Downton Abbey. No spoilers, but it was perfection. Utter perfection. I couldn't be happier with it!
Good to hear, and I'm hearing it elsewhere, too. I won't get to it until possibly the weekend. It's too easy to get distracted or interrupted with a 2-hour anything. And for anyone who feels I've spoiled things for them in the past, I got some just desert (I always thought it was just desserts, but nope). I went to record this finale, and Xfinity had the entire episode, character by character, mapped out in the description. What the F??? 99.99% of the time, there isn't any useful information there, and for the most popular show on the planet's finale (it's true, not opinion), you're going to tell everyone what happens before it airs?

Actually, if you look at Jamie right at the end, and the way he turned his body, I think he was about to cry.
