This Friday we’ll be showing Warehouse 13, the premise is fairly simple; there’s a government warehouse filled with all sorts of horrendous and wonderful artefacts and things, which needs to be guarded to make sure nothing is stole…and that nothing gets out.

As you may have guessed from the subject line (what a wonderful invention) this week we’ll be showing Misfits; season 2 to be precise, but if you haven’t seen the first season (and you should have, it’s very good) the idea is fairly simple: Heroes, with ASBOs. Except it’s better than that, and I’m really quite looking forward to season 2. I hope you’ll come along, the Red Centre as usual, at 5PM, with a pizza run at about 6.

So this week we’ll be showing Sanctuary season three. The basic premise of the show is simple: there are things out there that aren’t human, it’s the Sanctuary’s job to guard these ‘cryptids’ from humanity, and guard humanity from the cryptids. When we last left our intrepid zoo-keepers, the world was about to end. Not much of a cliff-hanger there, oh no…
Just as a quick reminder, there’ll be Battle: Los Angeles group movie night tomorrow at the Hoyts in the Entertainment Quarter. The movie starts at 6:50PM, I’ll be hanging around before and after the screening, and we can head out to a dinner/drinks afterwords if anyone’s interested. I can give discounts up to 2 dollars to anyone who remembers to hand me their receipt at the end, so I’ll be standing right outside the entrance, not in the slightest bit creepy like…

So this week we’ll be watching Haven, an American paranormal mystery show, which is (loosely) based on a Steven King short story. It certainly feels loosely based on a Steven King short story, which is by no means a bad thing. Quite fun to watch, we saw the pilot last season, and we’ll start with the that this Friday, before continuing on. We’ll be in the Red Centre Theatre all over again at 5, with pizza and drinks orders going out around 6:00 or 6:30.

It’s week three and this means it’s on to SG Unverse season 2. If you haven’t seen any Unverse before this, don’t worry, I hadn’t either and the story (humans on a spaceship must return to planet Earth) is fairly simple to get into but lots of fun along the way.
We’ll be starting at 5PM again, in the Red Centre theatre with the Spock-Soc banner hanging outside the door.

Thanks to all of you who made it to last weeks session, I hope you enjoyed yourselves, this week we’ll be showing Lost Girl, a supernatural crime drama that follows Bo, a succubus who finds herself fighting crime and trying to not get in trouble with the other fae who make up the magical underworld we normal humans don’t get to see. Sounds like fun? We saw the pilot last year and most of us thought so us well, which would be why we’re showing it again!
We’ll start once again at 5PM on Friday, in the Red Centre theatre, pizza run around 6:30-7:00PM dinner a bit later before finishing at 11PM,
see you there!

Thanks to all the new and returning members for signing up during O-Week, I’m hoping that you’re looking forward to our first session this Friday and I apologise for leaving this e-mail so late, it took a while to get confirmation of a room booking, but here we are.
This Friday we’ll be show No Ordinary Family a superhero-comedy-drama (according to Wikipedia) that has Michael Chiklis (the Thing from The Fantastic Four movies) in it. We’ll be starting at 5PM in the Red Centre Theatre, which is not exactly in the Red Centre itself, but just tucked away under the outside corridor at the end closest to Anzac Parade. This link has a PDF map you can open to see where the theatre is; it’s the yellow box at the end of the Red Centre (or Faculty of Built Environment) We’ll go on until 11PM, with a pizza run taking place at 7PM, it;ll be good to see as many people as can make it,

Several people have mentioned they would like screenings to continue through the summer months. As we save all the new stuff for during session we are collecting ideas on what to show.
