I finished season four of The Wire the other day, and am mourning already because I only have 10 episodes to go and it's not enough. I think I mentioned when I first said I was watching it that I gave it a go because a. people kept on comparing Game of Thrones to it, and b. it's been called the best television show ever so many times it has ( Read more... )

My parents have started watching Game of Thrones:

Dad: I'm three episodes in, when do things start happening
Me: At the end of episode four things start going to hell.
Dad: Does winter come?
Me: Errr....

( Probably not really spoilery but just in case )

There's an absolutely wonderful picspam here with comparisons between Game of Thrones/ASOIAF characters and historical figures from the War of the Roses and the Tudor period. Can I just say, that I really hope Sansa is meant to be Elizabeth I.

Also, this secret (spoilers) at ASOIAF confessions, I agree with so much.

( And now I'm getting all spoilery myself so I'll cut )

In case any TTOI fans out there missed it Peter Capaldi's confirmed his, Roger Allam and Joanna Scanlan's involvement in season 4 of TTOI. So Malcolm, Mannion and Terri will be back. Yay ( Read more... )

I've decided it's quite funny how certain song become so identified with certain things. I had my ipod on shuffle in the bus home from work today, Brothers in Arms comes on, less than an hour later, I'm watching an episode of The West Wing. Not Two Cathedrals though, Duck and Cover, from the seventh season, not one of the show's best episodes but ( Read more... )

Sanctuary season 3.5 promo. Why must all promo's have lame promo guy speaking over them. But yay Helen Magnus teaming up Atia of the motherfrakking Julii Polly Walker's character to save the plant. HBIC team up! I may be more excited about this than Doctor Who - but the Who doesn't promise to have a HBIC team up this seasonAlso: oh, Nikola ( Read more... )

1. I finally saw The King's Speech. I kind of love how Colin Firth's career always comes to the inescapable Mr Darcy, because I found myself playing 'spot that Pride and Prejudice' actor, and holding my breath hoping he ended up in a scene with Elizabeth Bennet herself Jennifer Ehle (who was sporting a very good Aussie accent), and also there was ( Read more... )

After that post about Stargate yesterday I found this team (version 1.0) vid on youtube to Star's In the Bedroom After the War, which is kind of perfect and had the space battles:hugging ratio exactly right.

I loved Dirk Gently. It wasn't first-episode-of-Sherlock good (although, I did like it better than the two other episodes), it was ( Read more... )

Been a bit busy so haven't posted in a while, but I have been watching stuff:

Misfits - I was watching 2x03 when the massive shift from more personal stories to a bigger plotline happened and initially I was completely over the moon about it. Then I watched it again, along with 2x04 and realised I've seen this storyline done about 25 million times ( Read more... )

Suggestions of a Y: The Last Man television show

THIS. I want! I want!I want! Oh, please! I want Yorick and Agent 355 and Dr Mann and Rose the one-eyed Australian pirate and Beth I and Beth II and Hero and Alter and all the other wonderful characters I love on my television set. It would make for a great television show if done right and the ( Read more... )
