Sunday night I watched the new American Gladiators. I was happy to see they had a lot of the old challenges in this one, including the Joust, the ring swing, and the one where the Gladiator stands on a platform with a gatling gun, and the contestant has to use weapons to hit a target above the gladiator while the gladiator pelts balls at them.
But where's the Gerbil balls?! :nurinono:
Star Trek Remastered has been playing first on ABC 7 and now CW 50 on Sundays at Midnight. Basically it's like the Star Trek version of St*r WarzzZZ DVD Special Edition, in other words Paramount pulled a George Lucas. The footage has been cleaned up, and all the space shots are now in CG. I don't know if I like this change or not. Part of what made Star Trek cool was the shitty special effects. In some ways it's an improvement, it's great to actually see the Enterprise in certain shots where it wasn't shown in the original version (certain battles and exterior shots, ect), but the Enterprise is obviously CG (why didn't they just use a model like they did in EVERY STAR TREK SERIES?), and some of the effects look worse. The episode that night was the Apollo one, and Apollo's tractor beam looked like a giant hand and the explosion of Apollo's temple looked even worse. But the new CG Giant planet-eating blue sno-cone looked cool.
And then there was SG-1 episode where they're in some sort of other reality and a director is trying to make a SG-1 movie, and they spoof other sci-fi series. Is SG-1 ever serious?

The new CGI in those remastered Star Trek Episodes looks like it was done by one Trekkie in his basement.

Haven't seen either one. At least not that I know of with ST, but perhaps I have. How long has it been airing that way?

I watched GLadiators yesterday and the first one, last week. It's a nice way of spending time, but that wouldn't make me a fan. It seems to me as a rip-off of the best tv show ever, Ninja Warrior
-
The only thing I've seen of ninja is when they run a timed obstacle course which is no way better than 2 people racing on one.
-
I was really into Ninja Warrior for a month last year and then I was done with it. I still watch it from time to time, but I don't go out of my way to do so anymore.

I hope these new American Gladiators have the giant gerbil balls. :( That was the best event.

Atlasphere will not be returning.

Oh fuck that shit. Now I really hate the new version. Fuck you Geriatric Hulk Hogan for ruining my childhood.

Why, what's different between the new one and the old one? I thought they were quite similar
