The LA Complex is quite enjoyable. Pretty racy!

Only six episodes in the season. Apparently another 12 has been requested. I hope so

spoiling-plot-talking-type-commencing...now:
it has been a while since i've read the books now, but ep2 seemed to have much more diversion from the original books? i.e. stannis/melisandre, peter baelish ruthless prostitute telling off, gendry/arry redacted plot line etc etc. also did i totally forget one of the khalessi's riders getting head-sent-back-in-a-bag?! D: i know they have to kind of compress the storylines somewhat but it seemed the most different this episode than any others before. not dishonest at all (well, maybe stannis/melisandre, i didn't get that at all from the books or am i naive?) and i'm not even CLOSE to pulling a disgruntled "the bookz are better" fan sulk, not even close

not a spoiler, i am even MORE in love with john snow than i was reading the books as if that was even possible

WISTFUL SIGH

**drastic** · 15-04-2012, 04:21 AM

just finished watching spartacus: vengeance
wasn't too into other seasons but damn this new season was epic! they seem to have stepped up the gore factor too. can't believe what happened to that dude who messed with crixus' chick in ep 7. by far the craziest thing i ever seen on a tv show! so awesome haha

**Binge** · 18-04-2012, 12:13 PM

Started on the first couple of "Touch" eps. Really enjoying it!

Im reading book 2 now, its pretty similar but yeah some is condensed... and its told in a different order

**fatnick** · 18-04-2012, 01:04 PM

Whats 'happy endings' like? Caught an episode and i actually LOL'd hard. but wasnt sure if it was a one off thing and i was just in a juvenile mood. Seems like a HIMYM type comedy, but not sure if the characters will grow on me as much (were HIMYM gets its funnies). But it has many one-liners, and these can often wear thin.

**Mono Lisa** · 18-04-2012, 01:25 PM

Season 4 of The Wire was so good.

Almost scared to watch season 5 now and ruin it (according to comments on this thread...)

**GrandMaster** · 18-04-2012, 02:02 PM

S5 was great, almost as good as 4. you can't not watch it, the wrap-up + ending is a must see

**heist** · 23-04-2012, 08:38 PM

While waiting for game of thrones to download I am watching the old spawn animated series.. is good

**The Biz** · 23-04-2012, 09:27 PM

Derek. Starring and produced by Ricky Gervais.
Featuring the acting debut of one Karl Pilkington.

You're welcome.

**renee`** · 23-04-2012, 11:42 PM

End of the latest ep of GoT=

Yep... poor Davos. I thought the scene at the gates of Qarth was amaze. The whole ep was insane. This season rules.

Stannis is exceedingly good.

Karl doesnt really act at all haha, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even give him lines, just showed him something and let him complain hahaha. Weird show though.... was funny but also sad. Did they only make one? I can't find any info to say there is more coming.

GoT was great, I'm not up to that part in the book so I don't know what the fuck is with the ending hahaha.

I was a little disappointed in the Qarth scene, in the book they describe 3 huge walls that surround the city that are engraved, would have been a cool visual.

I was just thinking that while I was watching a youtube of the promo ads, it's like he just comes in and acts like himself. 1:30 had me slapping my knee...

Qarth looks incredible, can't wait to see it properly. Was a great ep, loved the dreamy healer chick too

**Deej** · 24-04-2012, 11:11 AM

But what about the walls!

Qarth is surrounded by three walls of thirty, forty, and fifty feet in height, respectively engraved with portraits of animals, war, and lovemaking. The outer wall is made of sandstone, the middle wall of grey granite and the inner wall of black marble. The outer gates are banded with copper, the middle with iron and the innermost gates studded with golden eyes.

**theloadedjuggler** · 26-04-2012, 11:08 AM

This season seems to be a conjunction of books 2 & 3...... Hopefully without any nasty surprises at the end.

**Slurm** · 26-04-2012, 11:22 AM

I can sense a wedding in the air.

**theloadedjuggler** · 26-04-2012, 12:20 PM

I know there is a knob in the mix

**heyuinthebush** · 26-04-2012, 12:28 PM

Mr garrison is teaching the class about the houses in GOT this ep of south park.

**neonknome** · 26-04-2012, 01:47 PM

this show is joyous

i would like to see an adventure time + GoT show.

**Scorpius** · 27-04-2012, 04:58 PM

On GoT: It just seems to me they're starting to mash a whole bunch of things together from Book 2. I don't feel it quite follows things as closely as Season 1 did, and it does jump around in time, and has been doing it all thru this season. In reality, they should've started the season at Dragonstone.
And i didn't think Rakharo had his head cut off either, i'm sure he was still in Dance with Dragons...
And yeah, latest ep... i thought the bit with Melisandre and Davos happened a bit later on in the piece.

But anyway, i'm still not thrown from watching it just yet, still a good series regardless

**Slurm** · 27-04-2012, 05:02 PM

The way I see it, book 1 was very episodic, and lent itself well, as a whole, to being broken up into ten parts.

Book two and even more so book three, four and five have become less neatly apportioned, less coherently episodic, making televising them problematic on several levels.

Ive said elsewhere that I got the strong feeling that as he progressed the story, the author made more and more of it up on the spot as he went along.

**flauntster** · 27-04-2012, 05:05 PM

the rat torture scenes were a bit of an eye opener, quality stuff

**Slurm** · 27-04-2012, 05:56 PM

Harrenhal was done beautifully I think.

**heist** · 30-04-2012, 10:31 AM

30 rock live shows were pretty deece

Definitely, it was quite well done. Almost how I imagined it reading the books.

Them trying to do books 3, 4 & 5 for TV are going to be difficult, mainly because Book 3 is in two parts, and 4 & 5 are also two parts of the same story, it's only towards the end of Dance they begin to 'dovetail' again.

I still think they could do a better job with Season 2, but that's just the opinion of this couch potato. Gearge Martin is still heavily involved, but they are starting to deviate and add to the TV series things that just weren't a part of the story. Stannis (obviously) sleeping with Melisandre and Renly being so obviously gay being 2 things that spring instantly to mind.

**heist** · 30-04-2012, 01:57 PM

intro'd a friend to game of thrones last night.. involved sitting down and re-watching the first few eps in a row

that sort of shit will get you into trouble. next thing you know it's 4am

**Scorpius** · 30-04-2012, 03:02 PM

Watching the first season is great.
Now i've got it on my own Hard Drive, i might just have to do it again... and soon.

After stealing Ep 5 of Season 2 off my mate later this week

**~Msv~** · 30-04-2012, 03:23 PM

I really must watch this GoT. Anyone got it on dvd or USB that I can borrow?

**HunterM** · 30-04-2012, 04:43 PM

i have all of season one

**deflo** · 01-05-2012, 12:20 AM

has anyone watched UK law & order and, if so, is it worth watchin'?

**little dead gracey** · 01-05-2012, 12:34 AM

i really like it. way more gritty and funnier than regular law and order, and they spend a lot more time focusing on the law side

**Scorpius** · 01-05-2012, 07:53 AM

Started watching Homeland on Sunday while i'm waiting for the next ep of GoT to come out.
I've watched parts of it before on 10, and at friends' houses, but never watched it from the start.

I'm finding it quite interesting to watch. Claire Danes does pretty well in her character, i think.

fuck yes

**heyuinthebush** · 01-05-2012, 11:29 AM

Good ep of mad men.

**Slurm** · 01-05-2012, 12:10 PM

GoT was really, really good.

How GOOD was the mask that woman wore in Qarth?

And Arya at Harrenhall, and Renly and Stannis and and and

Four.

Four Goods.

I'm starting to think the Theon actor is a bit limp, but maybe hes just acting out the limpness.

**c_avdas** · 01-05-2012, 01:02 PM

arya's stare was amazing

**Slurm** · 01-05-2012, 01:03 PM

She is going to go far. Amazing actress.

**c_avdas** · 01-05-2012, 01:34 PM

yep that's the one

**heist** · 01-05-2012, 01:40 PM

at the moment i'm baracking for bron and tyrion to win \m/

**Deej** · 01-05-2012, 01:52 PM

I'm really hoping Arya does in fact murder everyone on her list. Seeing her lop off Joffreys head would be the all times greatest thing on TV, ever.

I really like Bronn and Tyrion as well. Perfect casting.

Theon Greyjoy is Lily Allen's brother, the one she wrote that stoner song about.
