    YeOld, I understand it shifts about. My point is it shouldn't feel like filler but, to me, it does because most of the actors are boring as anything. Like, there's so much developing and it should be interesting but the acting makes me not care.

    Khaleesi, Cersei, Sana, John Snow. They all have one tone/emotion. I can't concentrate when they're on.

    I feel like they haven't just killed off all the interesting people, they've killed off everyone who could act.

    Maybe I'm overly picky. ;biggrin

    Yeold/Outcast,

    That's one of the problems with doing a series based on the books, one chapter will be based on all the goings on in Kings Landing, the next is on the Wall and the next will be over the water with the dragon lady - which could all be happening at the same time. Another chapter will have bits from all places. Rather than try to splice them too much, which could make it all a bit too much of a mix and make the episodes disjointed, the have tried to keep to the way it is in the books.

    Outcast - that was one of the problems I initially had with the books, all the big personalities were being killed off - given a couple of the changes they have made, I think there are a couple who will have a different story line in the series.

    Don't know Admeus they have drifted really far away from the books now, i think in some cases for the better. By the end of this series, the program will have definitely overtaken the book. There are two more major things to go down, that have gone down in the books after that no one can predict anything. I expect those two major things will be in the next 2 episodes. As the story lines of certain characters are already i would say going beyond the books. So the others are catching up.

    Yep, Game of Thrones episode 8. Epic - no other word.

    This whole season has felt a bit like Empire Strikes Back...has been a lot of set up and getting characters into place. I am hoping episodes 9 and 10 are going to be even bigger

    cant believe what just happened on Game of thrones....

    AKA

    Half way through The Game.

    Brian Cox has a relatively small part, but the series is very good.

    It is slow-moving, but gripping.

    Well that shot my theory down - thought they might have changed the story a bit and - PM AdMeus for the rest... SPOILER removed.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    You meant to say, at the start 'PLOT SPOILERS' didn't you?

    I realise that most people will now know what happened in GoT, but just in case there are people who haven't started it yet, or who are behind in watching the series, I've pruned your post.

    If people want to discuss their reactions, maybe start a new thread on GoT, and make it clear it contains spoilers?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;hmm

    I read about that the other day.

    Is it less nasty than the 1st one (which I stopped watching after a few episodes because they were so unpleasant)?
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Hannibal cancelled by NBC.
    Derp decision, should be a hit on Netflix next year.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Ridiculous!

    Utter joke. One of the best shows on TV without doubt. So underrated.
  • LukerzLukerz
    True Detective season 2 premiere was fine. Loads of mixed reviews so tuned in expecting to be disappointed but it was fine. As long as people don't expect it to beat season 1 it will be fine.

    MrsG - I'd it looks like it'll be darker, but I suppose it depends on what topics you'd consider more darker than others.
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Anything worth watching recently? Doesn't seem a lot on at the moment with Blacklist, Homeland etc.. not on for another couple of months.
    Haven't seen any of the new True Detective season yet, really enjoyed season 1, but with new characters it must be a completely different show?

    Jan - March = filming,
    March - May = on TV,
    June - August = filming,
    September - November = on TV,
    December - Mid way / Half time "breaks"
