Flashpoint DVD Episode Arrangement


Due to the way Flashpoint was aired in the US, the season box sets are different to the Canadian versions. While they will eventually release all the episodes, there is still some confusion over which episodes appear on which set.

Christmas Movies...

Following on from my Christmas Song musings, I started thinking about what makes the perfect Christmas movie.
Is it the need to take our main character to the very depths of despair, then have him rise up at the end, having possibly seen the error of his previous ways?
Is it the heart-melting scene near the end when the family is reunited, and love blossoms once more?
Is it the final shot of the snow falling while someone sings a Christmas Song?

If you're nodding along to all of these, and thinking of your own favourite Christmas film, I offer you a few words to break your spirit.

I've just described Die Hard!

Christmas Songs....


It's December, which means one thing. Well alright, it means many things. But one of those many and too numerous things to mention here is: Christmas Songs!
You know them, and either love them or hate them. Everywhere you go in December, they follow you.
Supermarkets and shops have them blasting out. The radio plays one every 20 minutes. People whistle and hum them...
But, and here comes my rant of the week, some of these songs aren't – to my way of thinking anyway – real Christmas songs!

I've thought this way for a number of years, but never really voiced it until now. This morning, my favourite radio station played “Stay” by East-17 as a Christmas song.
I had to put pen to paper (or at least, finger to keyboard) and write a letter to the DJ (or at least, send a tweet).
Adding some sleigh bells to a song (and some thick coats and fake snow in the video) does not a Christmas Song make.
This lead to a slightly heated debate between me and the DJ about the validity of Christmas Songs. Basically, she argued, it was Number 1 at Christmas time, therefore is a Christmas song...

Using these rules we also have applications for Mr. Blobby and Bob the Builder.
And Mad World must be the most depressing Christmas Song!
Oh and let us not forget Rage Against the Machine and the Theme to Grange Hil (No seriously, listen to the bass line of Killing in the Name and tell me that's not a rip off of the Grange Hill theme tune! I can actually SEE the sausage on a fork whenever I hear the song!)

To me, Christmas doesn't start until the Coca-cola lorry has been sighted, and the following songs have had at least 2 plays on the radio: Slade, Wizzard and Shakin' Stevens.

I shall end this by saying despite being a HUGE fan of S-Club, Never Had a Dream Come True isn't a Christmas Song either!
