Oooh, perfect timing, haha!
A show that I've recently been re-watching (for maybe the eight thousandth time) is Firefly. There's only 14 episodes but wow do I love that show (and Nathan Fillion <3 ). It's hilarious and action-packed and yeah sure, the graphics are a bit trash, but the blend of sci-fi and western is spot on, and the universe is so interesting.
I'm still not over the fact Fox cancelled it - I dont think I ever will be. I think it was too ahead of its time - but if it had been released now I think it would do much better. Oh well. Heard rumours though that a reboot might be in the talks!!!

Thanks for the chance!!

Perrywing, that darn Fox! They've killed a few good shows way too quickly. Congratulations on your soon-to-be new addition!
Thanks for taking such good care of us here Cole!

Thanks everyone, I'm happy to contribute where I can. I hate to admit that I haven't watched Firefly yet, but I've been meaning to for a long time, so I guess I should give it a try soon! I've been re-watching a lot of American Dad episodes since the new season started, I'm just glad it was picked up by TBS after the ***holes at Fox cancelled that one too, lol. Also, Knives Out is an incredibly re-watchable movie, and there are usually a few new things to pick up with repeated viewings!

gj They have! The new president of Fox seems to be a bit more sane though, haha! He said he's open to reviving the show for a limited run - like another 10 episode season maybe. That would be epic! bonfield You definitely should check it out! Someone at Fox definitely likes the chopping block a bit too much. I was devastated when I heard they axed Brooklyn Nine-Nine but, like American Dad, it was picked up by another network, NBC. You think they'd learned their lesson by now. I'll also have to check out Knives Out - never heard of it! Thanks for the chance to own a German Giant! I have a Hummer's Giant - do you know what the difference between these two clones are?

Will do! Knives Out was one of the best movies I've seen in quite a while, and apparently there may be a sequel in the works(once the film industry is able to move forward)! You're welcome! My Hummer's Giant isn't nearly as grown out as my German Giants yet, so I can't say from experience what all the differences are, but it seems the German Giants, while not getting pitchers quite as large as the Hummer's, will produce darker, purplish pitchers with lids that are more prone to curving down in the front than flaring upright like in larger pitchers of typicals or Hummer's.

Nice! I'm also missing a few of my favourite tv shows and movies that were supposed to come out this year. Oh well, nothing you can do, I guess (except watch Firefly for the thousandth time again!)
Interesting! So neat how the same plant can show such diversity within such a small range simply because of isolation. Incredible. I'm looking forward to watching them grow and comparing with my other types!

Having already been the recipient of some pretty awesome plants from Cole this spring, I was going to stay out of this giveaway, but after perrywing and I started discussing the differences in the different Cephs she has, as well as the typical I have, I thought it would be interesting to join in on this so we can potentially compare "German Giants" down the road in our differing conditions as well (if you're up for it Sarah? haha). The shows I've been digging into lately all seem to be nostalgia inducing. Frasier and Whose Line Is It Anyway? have been flashing across my screen when I have time to just veg in front of the tube. I've also rediscovered my love for the films of Fritz Lang after recently rewatching his Beyond a Reasonable Doubt from 1956, so more of those may be on the radar for the near future. 1. Sarah 2.

Binging Seinfeld for the 50th time (my favorite sitcom), in honour of Jerry Stiller that left us for a better place. There will never be another Frank Costanza... I'll probably do King of Queens next for the same reason.

Haha great idea! I'd love to compare notes with you in the future!! Always down for scientific research (especially with cephs!) Sounds like a great little experiment!
