The screaming... was that Cate Blanchett? I know a scream's a scream, but having recently seen the new Indiana Jones, as well as the Cake Day video, I'm putting two and two together and...

Double the nice work, Mix...tho the guys said Cate didn't get involved, why wouldn't she secretly want to?? I think you're on to something there.
So. On second viewing.
Mephisto stole the show beautifully (and is off with the Fist Team after having been offered respect and money...hmmm).
Nice bit of foreshadowing when Rod did the ringtones segment (wanna get yer ring stinging?)...oh, baby! Yeah!
Tara's genitalia explained quite a lot about her moods.
Wompy hasn't lost his innocence, because when he asked everyone if they knew about the 'lay-off", the 2 Rod groupies replied with 'Can't wait!'...He did what he thought he had to do to stay on the Fist Team.
Steve with the Iron Johns was classic. If this was referencing that bad men's poet, then no amount of head/limb removal can be too much. And I haven't seen a gut-butting contest since I was a kid.
Come to think of it, I'm relieved the team has left prawn world...that whole deal was giving me some childhood memories I don't need...the fortified compound, the illicit substances/weapons, the hostage situations, the 'dog list', the shotguns in the face, people tied to chairs being threatened with hammers, fire bombings....all that was missing was the dawn raids by riot squad, & the guy who thinks it's funny to wake you up by starting up a belt sander/angle grinder an inch from your nose...then says 'life's hard, get a helmet'...of course, it IS pretty bloody funny (and could well explain my sense of humour), but all the same, thanks for the memories, guys! I can't say anything else on TV has ever been quite so accurate. To use a line made famous by the Simpsons, 'It's funny cos it's true.'
Let the war on weakness roll on.
I'm already thinking 'fuck, is there gonna be a series 3?'
Cate Blanchett will always need more work.

Re: Series 2 - Episode 5: House Party Challenge

ok to begin with-

the weak-person's guide to gravity:

When something hits the centre of the earth it will stop falling. (actually, it will oscillate, but I digress)

I thought the ep was good. Not GREAT, but ok. I'm hoping the rest of the series heads where I think it's going to. There is a problem with the fact that every episode so far, I've come away thinking "oh great! now that they've got the story out of the way the real fist can begin!!" hopefully I'm right this time. Not that I didn't think the last ep were great... or the second ep.

ANYWAY... so all the fist members have lost their powers and become weak. What better time for them to rebuild themselves from the ground up (much like they did to ethel in series 1)?

The war on weakness??

I'm happy to carry that banner.

Forgive me if I seem ignorant, but...

I watched Good Game last night and they mentioned this "ROFFLE CUP" you speak of. They said they were going up against the DTF team. One Question, what the hell is a ROFFLE CUP?
