He said "rediscovered" suggesting he has already seen it, and it watching it again.
I have rediscovered The Incredible Hulk

Didn't see Planet Earth in quite some time and was amazed all over again
Have to say, didn't watch Hulk, but i'll remedy that

Did you see BBC's Life? That was AMAZING, especially the episode about whales. It has THE best moment ever captured in the history of wildlife documentaries for me.

The Incredible Hulk TV series is the reason I will never enjoy a Hulk film because the films all try and remain faithful to the comic, and for me, you can't get better than the TV series so I use that as my comparison. It's not fair, but I don't care.

I loved Planet Earth. When we used to have cable, Planet Earth was why we went HD with our cable service provider. We own the DVD now, though we haven't watched in a while.

Life was fantastic too, except when it aired over here in the states, for some reason they decided to have Oprah Winfrey narrate it. That bothered me. Like, why not keep David Attenborough as the narrator? As far as I'm concerned I want him to read me bedtime stories. The man is a gifted writer and narrator.

Oprah! That's ridiculous!
You might know the scene I am refering to then, where the sperm whales are performing a mating ritual where they have to keep up with the female and fight each other. The camera man was in the fucking middle of it! Blew my mind. Terrifies the hell out of me at the same time too.

I like Morgan Freeman presenting and narrating Through the Wormhole.

Excellent show! well explained and formatted. The time travel episode especially. I love all that relativity jazz but quantum just pisses me off, how the fudge can the cat be dead and alive at the same time!! thats bullshit shroedinger!!! We still havnt got a clue when it comes to all things quantum, well I dont anyway! cant get my bulb around it.

On the sperm whale thing, scary indeed, last thing I want to happen is find myself inbetween a bull and female sperm whale, theres not enough lube in the world for that scenario Anybody watching strikeback project Dawn? its an eclectic mix of guns and nudey chicks, genius.

Bwahaha yeah, pretty much sums it up right there. Thankfully I don't foresee being in that kind of situation anytime too soon!

didn't see BBC's Life, but if it's half as good as Planet Earth, i'm off to find it (pref. David Attenborough's narration, that man has tempo and perfect diction). Any other that i don't know about? Just spam me, documentaries are my old passion.
I too like Morgan Freeman narrating Wormhole, quantum never gets old
Iggy, i thought you're talking about the movie, shamed to say i didn't even know there where TV series Hulk

Anyone watched Sci Fi Science? It's kinda silly, but there are few interesting things in there.
Now all this talk of documentaries makes me wanna play first DVD of Planet Earth and see those emperor penguins again

You should be ashamed! Bill Bixby as Banner was brilliant Plus Louie Ferrino of course

Was it in Through the Wormhole where a scientist talks about hollogram theory? Then he asked the interviewer if she understood hollogram theory and replied with something like "kind of" and he says "no you don't, not even I understand it and I study it".

Is Sci-Fi Science with that oriental fella? He explains things really well, but he is a little annoying tbh. I liked the show, but there are so many shows like that I get confused. The one I am thinking of is he looks at the tech needed to create a super hero (one episode).

I loved the recent 3 part series Into the Universe by Stephen Hawking.

I'm assuming you're not English, so you may not know about a long running BBC series called Horizon. It covers many different topics and I really love watching it. There was a good one recently about the science of travelling to the Earth's core, none of which was used in the Hollywood blockbuster The Core (starring Morgan Freeman I believe)

Inside Natures Giants is AMAZING Three series so far plus a few specials. They cut open animals and look inside, talk about the evolution and structures etc. Dawkins usually makes an appearance.

Inside the Human Body was a recent BBC documentary which takes a you on a journey through the human body like never seen before. Great CGI of the microscopic world and the miracle of life.

An older series I loved was Sam Neils Space, again by the BBC. They make some of the best documentaries it has to be said.

Haha that's great, don't remember that from Wormhole, but as you said with all those similar shows i could be wrong.
Inside Human Body was mind blowing. It really gives you whole new perspective
Yeah, Sci-Fi Science is hosted by dr. Michio Kaku, he does some rather interesting designs for sci fi things, like lightsaber cmon, give me a replicator
Loved Stephen Hawking into the universe. Seen it last year (i think) and enjoyed it immensely.
Have to check Inside nature giants, seems really interesting and it's welcome getaway from stuff i watch these days - Ancient Aliens, history channel. Some stuff is amazing in there, but it's too biased for my taste.
Seen very few of Horizon shows (: i like their style, and i remember seeing one few years ago i think it was called How long is a piece of string, who would have known that measuring piece of string is such a strangely hard thing to do
Thank you for your post, and if you think of any other, throw it this way

I've been watching a new Aussie show called "Slide", not easy to find a dl but it is worth watching.

I've also been watching Skins, part way through season 2 now. Always good to hear a Chems track played in a TV show. Probably old news to most of you but one of the parties in season 1 has HBHG playing and s02e07 has Das Spiegel playing in it.

I really like Prof Brian cox style of explaining. He has some very good shows out covering, well everything!



Although his last one, "wonders of the solar system",was a bit basic (even for me!!)

Horizon series is EXCELLENT allright, theres loads of them on youtube.

Kind of late but I finally got to watch the new episode of The Walking Dead! Damn kids seem to slow the rest of the group down!

people would survive a whole lot more horror shows if they just killed the kids first!!!! Great show though isnt it!!?

I´m addicted to Forbrydelsen...it´s really absorbing and reminds a lot of Twin Peaks

Did you watch the British series Dead Set? If you like zombies you may enjoy it. I don't like zombies, but I enjoyed it. Though, it is written by my hero Charlie Brooker.

Walking Dead is great! I love it. It's so... disgusting. There's some serious stomach churning gore happening in that show. But what also makes it truly unnerving are the moments of tension. Good stuff. I'm holding off reading the comic for now because I enjoy the show so much.

We also started watching Breaking Bad and are only a couple of shows in. But it's
