I've got to go along with the "stupid and worthless" thoughts on this one. What a waste of an episode. I don't particularly agree with the one sentiment about James May essentially "phoning it in" -- though I think he has been slighted a bit with on-screen time or "something worthwhile to do"...

7/10, same as I have judged every episode so far. Perfectly enjoyable stuff, for the most part. Didn't like the star segment, as usual, and yes, what on Earth are they doing with agricultural and industrial equipment bits in the middle of the show? Golf segment was another Sabine miss for me...

7/10 for me. Agreed 100% with "even though the dialogue is a bit wooden." I'd call it a bit more than "a bit" wooden. Very obviously scripted attempts to create "chemistry." I truly doubt that these three guys will ever have the kind of chemistry that CHM have had, but that remains to be...

Folks, Well, from what I can tell, Top Gear starts this Sunday (March 5) in the UK, but here in the US, it won't start until the following Sunday (March 12) on BBC America. So much for "airing on the same day worldwide."

As good as anything so far -- 9/10 from me. I couldn't call anything perfect so far, but the same pretty much goes for most of the Top Gear years. I don't have much of any problems with the tent -- so long as they don't over-do things, that'll work just fine. Either shut The American up or...

The Barbados film was indeed a bit of a disappointment. When they don't actually drive around in vehicles of some sort, I do indeed get a strong sense of "What's the point?" While I had a bit of that sense with the Jordan training base film (Episode 2), at least in that one I really enjoyed...

You're probably just growing old. The same kind of thing has been happening to me. ;-)

Actually, if you can get your hands on the old videos, you can spend many enjoyable hours looking back on the old TG episodes, old F1 races, and so on. I have no idea if EVERY F1 race from the past couple of decades or more can be found on YouTube, but an ENORMOUS number of them are. I have...

Oh, my impression is that TGT is doing exactly what Amazon wanted -- getting a whopping amount of attention for Amazon Prime/Video. It sure got me to pony up the dough to join for the first time, and I'll bet there are millions just like me. One million new members times $100 per year is $100...

Any news, thoughts, or predictions?

I'm entirely OK without it. EvansGear MURDERED the concept -- I always had to turn the volume off and go do chores or something during the third of the show they wasted on it. Though, I do miss Clarkson chatting with the F1 drivers and the "celebrities," which to this guy from the US, most of...

Not a fail by any means in my book. In the end, we all like different things, and you certainly can't satisfy everyone all the time. There have been better and worse segments, but there always have been such. I'll be glad to watch just about anything the three guys -- together or individually...

While I generally liked the two episodes, I'm in agreement with everyone who thought that there just wasn't "a point" to the whole thing. And very little sense that they had actually traveled as far as they did. Kind of like biting into some snack you really like, only to find that it's got a...

I like ice cream.

Oh, I actually liked SIARPC quite a lot. Not so much the "driving," but rather, the "Jeremy Clarkson takes on all comers," matching wits and having fun with anyone and everyone who popped over for the bit. And I would also include the bits with the F1 drivers -- I felt that Jeremy was "almost...

I liked it, gave it my best rating so far. I knew that James was a pretty big fan of Battleship on his phone or tablet. so that was pretty cool. And so on. Yeah, some things could be improved, some of the stuff was over-the-top -- there will probably always be room for improvement, somewhere.

I've been pretty happy, so far. Obviously, folks, this is a "comedy" show, even down to the comments from The American. No seriousness allowed. I think one thing to keep in mind is that, for whatever reason, they had all of the "episodes" completely done before the first episode ever aired...

I VASTLY preferred the Jordan antics to the Hammond lunacy of doing donuts and utterly ruining everyone's day in those beautiful, historic Italian cities. Maybe it was just too much, but it was WAAAAAAAY too much. I would put this in with the home-made ambulances and others in the "not the...

I commented in a different thread, might as well repeat myself here. I pretty much liked the episode. Yeah, the tent stuff is still a bit weak -- I think the whole thing that bugs me is "playing to a crowd," rather than "talking amongst themselves," like they used to do with "the news."...

Yeah, count me amongst those who enjoyed the Jordan bit. Especially the guys shooting each other and so on. Not to mention Hammond finally being able to bash Clarkson upside the head with a shovel.
