TruBrew Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 I watched season one of Game of Thrones last week. Damn that show is good. Now I have to find a way to watch season two.
mikeymad Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 I watched the first episode (well most of it)... and it did not catch me... Dang -- I guess I have to give it a real shot.
Voltron Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 The books are dense, and the first couple of episodes are all about introducing characters and getting the story lines rolling. It gets good fast, and I actually read all of the books in record time (for me). Give it a shot.
TruBrew Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 I picked up the books. Hope to have some time with them this summer.
Dusty Chalk Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 Mongrels -- most hilarious show since Archer. I know of no other show that has a paean to not quite underage love ("What a Difference a Day Makes"). Lots of gruesome death, political incorrectness, references to contemporary culture, and slap-downs. Show got cancelled, but you can watch the entire series on Hulu. Season 2, episode 2 is the best one, and I don't think you need to watch them in order, but you might as well. Makes me laugh. Also Community (just finishing season), Castle (finished season), and Ringer (a little lost on that one). Waiting for season 3 of Archer from a friend. Need to catch up on Homeland and Game of Thrones (haven't started either one -- well, just the pilot of Homeland).
Kirosia Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 First episode of John Doe on YT. A favorite from youth past, benefical that my memory isn't great, as bits and pieces generally aren't enough to ruin a re-watch.
Knuckledragger Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 The Black Cat (1934) One of my favorite ambient albums of all time is Neural Network's Brain-State-In-A-Box. I'm tracking down all the films they sampled in it, and watching them. 1
shellylh Posted May 29, 2012 Report Posted May 29, 2012 First episode of Breaking Bad. Seems pretty good.
blessingx Posted May 29, 2012 Report Posted May 29, 2012 First episode of Breaking Bad. Seems pretty good.Everything you could want from a pilot right? There are shockingly few non-great episodes ahead of you.
catscratch Posted May 29, 2012 Report Posted May 29, 2012 As far as Game of Thrones goes, I really enjoyed the books, but the series, not so much. I'm not sure why, it's quite well made, but it just fails to captivate most of the time. I've been liking River Monsters and Dual Survival lately. The first shows some genuine exploration from time to time and has a terrific host, while the latter shows genuine survival technique from time to time and has two terrific hosts. Even standard over-Americanized presentation can't quite bring these shows down.
Dusty Chalk Posted May 30, 2012 Report Posted May 30, 2012 Black Books This series is hilarious.That might be my favorite British comedy of all time.
shellylh Posted May 30, 2012 Report Posted May 30, 2012 Black Books is brilliant! on par with The IT Crowd, i think. You have piqued my interest!
Voltron Posted May 30, 2012 Report Posted May 30, 2012 I almost wet myself laughing during Girls on Sunday. Damn it was funny. Crack Spirit Guide is going to be my next profession.
The Monkey Posted May 30, 2012 Report Posted May 30, 2012 I almost wet myself laughing during Girls on Sunday. Damn it was funny. Crack Spirit Guide is going to be my next profession. I love Shoshanna.
blessingx Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 Just saw twice. Damn the H&A mini-arc was beautiful.
Kirosia Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 Started Luther, My Own Worst Enemy (which can be streamed legally from the NBC site), Raines, and Person of Interest. All have been quite entertaining so far, though I'm feening for something that isn't character-based police procedural ilk. Second season of Game of Thrones is still backburning, saving it for an especially sucidal-depressive evening.

Kirosia Posted June 9, 2012 Report Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) French Open final. Watching Maria Sharapova jump up and down, kissing babies. Also I finished both seasons of Luther, Alice Morgan can only be the perfect creature born of men's inverse fantasies: [media=] Edited June 9, 2012 by Kirosia
