Uh ... isn't the final episode of Black Lagoon worth noting, as it airs in Canada on G4?

A simply smashing rendition of The Click, my good sir.
(seriously, your commentary is the only reason I bother reading this article; living in Australia it otherwise serves no relevance to me at all)

The Click - April 5 - 11 wrote:
Robots? Preposterous! Why resort to mechanized robo-men when low-paid civil servants will perform much of the same tasks? Call me a luddite if you must. This week, these rubbish mechano-droids fight to keep their all-powerful artifact, the AllSpark, from falling into villainous hands, or some darn such thing.

I say, is such strong language really necessary? I believe we are all aware of the sorry state of civil servants today, particularly in relation to the automatons, but resorting to this type of denunciatory verbiage does not help the cause. It is beneath you sir.

If I may be so bold, I would like to bring to your attention another matter. There appears to be a glaring omission in the "PREMIERES" section of your fine column. Monday evening, 7 April, starting at eleven Tactics will be broadcast on the Science Fiction Channel (or as they insist on referring to themselves the "Sci-Fi Channel"). According to their "web site" the two episodes that will be airing are:
11:00 PM Episode 21 "Gateway to Memory"
11:30 PM Episode 22 "Blue Eyes"
Doubtlessly Kantarou and his strapping young manservant Haruka will be off on another adventure battling and befriending yōkai. Not to be missed!

Following the afore mentioned programming there will be two reiterative episodes of Noein; Episode 21 "Illusion" and Episode 22 "To the Future".

Sincerely yours,
jel123

Indeed ....

Though being the "third" in a proud tradition does not necessarily make him a posturing phony.

Strangely, having a spot of trouble remembering what predicament that ninja fellow is currently in (so THESE are the dreaded fillers ... okay, I concede they make even the Sasuke-flashbacks look good.) Guess it's time for a quick trip to the deleted files folder.

And it doesn't help Canadians know G4 is airing it when it gets skipped on this list ....

Is it going to be aired in it's entirety though, considering it's currently in DVD limbo? I haven't seen confirmation of that one way or the other - or whether the rest of Hellsing Ultimate will be aired, for that matter.

Since the last episode of The Second Barrage will be airing on G4TechTV Canada this Friday, I don't see why Starz Edge can't finish airing the entire show.

Calmly and soothingly rest your buttocks in your favorite armoire, with a smooth vintage Chablis in one hand, and a fine humidor in the other, and let the wafting waves of TV listings slowly drift in front of your eyes in a most dignified manner.

You want us to sit in a closet holding a glass of wine and a high-humidity cigar storage case?

I wonder if I can waft any waves?

*Fills a bathtub, tries to waft waves*

Indeed I can. But not in a most dignified manner.

Hello! Cool

Thanks for the heads up about Black Lagoon. I was able to see the first two episodes of the Second Barrage.

I wanted to know if anyone has ImaginAsianTV. I hope that it is ok to ask this question. I would love to get Kyo Kara Maoh!'s last 12 episodes of the dub somehow.
