TV

Batman: The Brave and the Bold
1x03 Evil Under the Sea!
1x05 Day of the Dark Knight!
I don't know what Aquaman was like in the comics before, but his New 52 incarnation is certainly nothing like this! If you've seen Thor, essentially it's Thor and Loki. I didn't even know Aquaman had a brother.
And in the next episode, Green Lantern proves to be even more annoying than in his film, and Green Arrow isn't that likeable either. There's a lesson here...
(For some reason my download has episode five as episode four and episode four as episode five. Dunno why. Either way, next one's Christmas themed.)

Suburgatory
1x05 Halloween

Hollywood director Tony Scott jumps to death from bridge
(from BBC News)

I've long admired Tony Scott's films, thinking he's been a bit overshadowed by the critical and awards success furnished on his older brother. The outpouring of praise across twitter, etc, today has shown that I wasn't alone in this belief. Sadly, I think he may be one of those people who's more appreciated after he's gone.
