Oh yeah, I have wondered all along if

1. The Walking Dead
2. Orange is the New Black
3. The X-Files is definitely growing on me. I'm only on season 3 or 4 though.

I don't really have one favorite. There are too many good ones, both old and new.

Of the oldies, Babylon 5 and Farscape are some of my most loved. Out of the more recent ones, I really liked The Clone Wars, and am loving Rebels. Turn has been good too, and so have the new Marvel tv shows. Daredevil has been good, and Jessica Jones is just fantastic.

DE = WOO HOO! Your wish came true !!!

HOLY CRAP! The scene with Dany !!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remembered a few other favorite TV series.

From way back, the mini-series I Claudius. I've not seen it in decades and wonder how well it holds up today. I suspect quite well.

I'm no Trekkie, but make an exception for Star Trek: The Next Generation (as well as the movie Wrath of Khan).

On to GoT: Here's an video interview in which Martin discusses his then newly published supplementary book, The World of Fire and Ice, which I own. It ties in with the TV series in that he sometimes talks about the difference between the what things look like in the show as opposed to what they 'should' look like according to the books (or his imagination), with artwork from World... to illustrate the point.

Decrepit, I'm not a trekkie either. As much as I loved Leonard Nimoy/Spock, I disliked William Shatner/Kirk even more. Lol. Next Gen was indeed better. Can't go wrong with Patrick Stewart, whether playing Uriel Septim or Jean Luc Picard. And Picard's staff on the show complemented him nicely. Similar to Patrick Stewart, I have always loved Ricardo Montalban and was enthralled by his character Khan - enough so that I even managed to tolerate Kirk (played by a chubby has-been Shatner) for a couple hours.

I like me some Trek. My brother and I grew up watching the reruns of the original series back in the 70s. So we were both onboard with Next Gen when it came on. I lost interest in the Deep Space Slime and Voyager era. I did watch Star Trek: Enterprise, and liked it a lot. It slumps in the middle of the show with the Xindi season. But the final season is just pure awesome, showing the formation of the Federation, the genetic augmentations and how Dr. Noonian Sung turned to cybernetics, and the creation of the Klingon Fusion races. Plus the best Mirror Universe episodes of any Trek series.

Funny thing is, seeing the new JJ Abrams Star Trek movies has made me really appreciate William Shatner. The new Kirk played by that putz Chris Pine is just an idiotic a-hole. While I recall the Shat-Man's portraying Kirk as a man who took his responsibilities as captain very seriously. There was an episode where he literally lost his courage because of some alien intervention, and he didn't want the crew to see him that way, as it would detract from his authority as the Captain. He was also wily and clever enough not to fight a battle he could not win. He ran from the Gorn until he could build himself a makeshift cannon. And he pretended to surrender to Khan, all the while buying time so he could hack Khan's bridge controls. Where the Chris Pine Kirk picks a fight with half a dozen Federation security guys in a bar, and gets his ass kicked.

I love those series, they were bloody brilliant. Well, Babylon 5 was brilliant for the first four series. And Farscape just had so much going for it, for instance; Claudia Black

As for Star Trek, gotta love The Next Generation, though I'm also rather fond of Deep Space Nine. I think they went a little over the top with Sisko(and a few other things from time to time) but have a more fixed setting made for a nice change of pace. Also. while Jake Sisko was about as annoying as Wesley Crusher, he didn't pop up quite so much, which is a point in DS9's favour.

Hodor!

HOLY CRAP !!! Uncle Benjen is back !!!!


GAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!!!!



And did you see how huge Drogon is now?



KABOOOOOOOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



*mALX's head explodes*

Daenerys has been AWESOME this season!! Her story is now the only one I still like. I'm still salty over what they did to Hodor last week!

I couldn't have said it better on Daenerys; that scene with the Khal when she walked out naked from the fire - I was WOO HOO'ing so much I'm sure the neighbors thought I was watching the Tennessee Vols win,

You are not the only one teared up over Hodor; the directors said they did too, when GRRM told them about that scene. That was so sad, and kind of shocking! I hope Bran takes it as a warning about going back in time.

But the 3ER; Howland Reed's children; and now Uncle Benjen - all seem to know Bran has some huge important role in the upcoming battle with the Whitewalker army; I am dying to see in what way/how. Will he ride a dragon too?

But of course, when we see that day come, it will mark the end of the show, so ... I can wait a LONG time, do not want to see this show end!

Uncle Undead Benjen!! Woot!!

And I think we may be getting a familiar face next episode.

Have you seen any of the spoilers by Truede? He has been spot on with every single episode in Season 6; somehow hacked into it and saw them or something.

He mentioned what you just did - makes me wonder about what he will think about Arya. (if she survives the Faceless god, urk).

Yeah!! Shame on myself for following Truede but his leaks are just awesome and accurate! I love it!!

Me too, everything I could get my hands on since they are hard to find since his banning from everywhere, I have never minded spoilers, it never kills the excitement for me. It just makes my head explode twice instead of just once,

If this is going to be the person/place that I think it is, I'm quite excited. It's another unsolved mystery from the books, so I wonder if they'll reveal it straight away or leave it open.

I'm glad Jaime is going to the Riverlands at last. It's one of my favourite parts of the books, since it gives a good insight into his character and how he's developed. It also leads up to the reveal of ANOTHER character, which is looking more and more likely.

I hope Jaime and Brienne meet up while they're both out there. Their relationship is one of my favourites.

WOO HOO! Truede aced it again! But...Arya



@ Hazmick - lucky you!!!!! You have the books!!!!

Ah...That programme...


Aaamywho...Have much love for the NCISses at the moment...Awesome progs all...And will miss Person of Interest once that finally done also...

The family McB are enjoying this at the mo...Upstart Crow...

Also in the comedy vein...Angie Tribeca is right up there in the whole Airplane! and Naked Gun/Police Squad stakes of absurdist comedy...Absolute class...

Oh, and Supernatural continues to be awesome into its 11th year...Which is nice..

This was hysterical! I wonder if we can get it over here?

No...

I...

Suspect...

Not...

Possibly...Dunno...*Cough*...Not links to four further episodes at all...Nooo...That would be naughty...

You are right; we get a very limited version of the BBC here in ETN. I checked; it doesn't have this show



*thanks for the links!*

Where to put the coconuts! SPEW!!!

"It's never too late to come back." Rey.

Seconds later after he says that the Brotherhood Without Banners appear haha.

Dany obviously loves women; and I have been wondering all along if when she and Yara Greyjoy met whether there would be any chemistry between them - together they would easily conquer the 7 kingdoms. I couldn't tell if there were sparks or not, but I didn't see any between her and Daario either before they got together. I do think Dany liked her up front attitude overall though; and if anyone can be taken at face value it is Yara Greyjoy! Can't wait to see what happens next there, they did shake on the 100 ships deal! WOO HOO !!!!

Ye Gods I could stare at that picture of Sophie Wossname all night... ...

Aaaamywho, I prefer Iwan wossname in another of my fave comedies, Vicious...Starring Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi...

I really like him as an actor. He's done a great job portraying Ramsay, and yes he's good in Vicious too. He was also pretty good in Misfits a few years back.


As for this week's episode, I thought it was very satisfying. Having the 'good guys' get something done for once always feels good, and the atmosphere of the battle was wonderfully brutal.

Yara and Daenerys did have a moment. Emilia Clark confirmed it was a flirtatious moment.

Stark banners on the rise!



And the irony with Ramsay in the end was awesome. I imagined that, or Ghost doing it.

I agree with what you put in spoiler tags, I loved that scene - some real ETN type fighting there! But didn't care much for the "poetic justice" end there; to me that reeked of Hollywood writing as opposed to how GRRM would have done it; and D & D all but confirmed they were behind the way that went down.

I really think if GRRM had finished his next book, we would have seen a different ending there; something that didn't put Sansa on Ramsey's level.

And I don't think GRRM would have written Ramsey as such a moustache twirler either. Hollywood always feels like their audience isn't smart enough to know a guy is evil unless they beat it into the ground; GRRM didn't do that with even his worst characters.

Example: Waldor Frey - the guy is darnright likeable; but orchestrated the biggest mass murder of an entire family and all his enemies in one swoop - the most devious plan in history! That is how GRRM writes bad guys; they don't ooze evil but when they do something evil = they do it goooooood !!!!! BWAAAHAAAHAAA!

Also noticed the brilliant dialogue for Tyrion has dlsappeared since the point where the books ended and Hollywood writing started.

I really hope GRRM gets off his butt and finishes those books so we see more of his mind at work and less of D & D's.

Oh, but wasn't Dany's scene a good one!

And I could most def tell Yara was interested in Dany; just couldn't tell if the flirtation was mutual or not. Yara would def do Dany though, that was obvious;

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, poetic justice is something GRR Martin has worked with before, in a subtle manner.

Red Wedding-Joffrey's Wedding.

Honorable Twin Lannister-Last moment in the privy

Jaime Lannister pushing Bran out the window and crippling him, and then losing the same hand later on.

Oh and yes!!

KING IN DA NORF!!

About time Dany fulfills her desire. I'm stoked for season 7.

I'll be watching the show from beginning to end over and over and over again til Season 7 gets here!

I agree THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!THE KIT IN THE NORTH!

Thought this ep was a bit hit and miss.

How did Varys manage to get to Dorne and back so quickly?

Why did D&D have Qyburn deal with Pycelle?

What was the point of that entire High Sparrow storyline if they're just going to literally blow it all away?

With that said - I liked the stuff in the North, I liked Arya's appearance, I'm happy to see Bran back at the wall, I liked the conversation between Dany and Tyrion, and I'm glad they're (literally) moving forward after so long in Meereen.

KING IN THE NORTH

If I'm not mistaken, Varys left two episodes ago. Is he back? I'll have to watch that episode for the 30th time, I missed his return! But Dorne isn't that far away, both are in the hot southern climate area.

I wondered about Qyburn too; and what gave him the power to announce Cersei as the crowned queen? Oh, I think it would be really funny if somehow the High Sparrow survived that explosion somehow! Since Jon Snow threw the Red Woman out, maybe she will go resurrect the High Sparrow next?

What I am wondering = Did Arya actually feed Waldor Frey's sons to him? Did he eat them? GROSS! But ... still, thumbs up! Arya the "Rat Cook!"

But I will def miss Frey's quarrellous dialogue! He was hysterical!

Yep, Varys is standing behind Tyrion and Dany on the ship at the end.

This means that he traveled from Sunspear to Meereen in half an episode! According to my maps, the distance between those two cities is pretty much the same as the distance between Sunspear and Last Hearth, which is almost at The Wall. Maybe Varys is secretly a sorcerer. I don't know why the writers didn't just leave him in Westeros for now, rather than moving him around and annoying me so much that I actually look at maps.


As for Arya, I'm pretty sure I saw a tooth in that pie she gave Walder. She might be a talented assassin, but she's a very sloppy cook.

Hah! Maybe the High Sparrow will turn out to be a distant relation to Dany and is immune to fire. Either way, Cersei is pretty much done for now, she has the Tyrells and Martells both coming for her, a new King in the North, and team Dany to contend with.

I must say, I was sad to see Margaery die. She's one of my favourite characters and I really thought she'd survive until the end. Such is life in Westeros, I suppose.

Cut a man's vital parts off, and you'll be surprised how fast he can travel!

Ew, a tooth? Your TV must have more pixels than mine; but I thought I saw a finger when he peeled back the second slice - but did he eat the first slice? I didn't see him eating it; only her bringing the platter and cutting that piece out; putting it in front of him.

But Margaery and Tommen - yeah.


I think Cersei having Qyburn declare her as queen was "the last act of a desperate man" type thing. On one hand, don't see it lasting. On the other - she does have the Mountain on her side!!!! We may yet get that Clegane bowl; or maybe Arya will cook him up for Cercei's dinner? BWAAHAA!

As for the Littlefinger, Varys and Arya time travel/teleporation/jetpack devices . . . well, D&D said that the characters and the scenes do not operate on the same time frame. Each character has weeks or days off another depending on the story. So they say . . .

The Rat Cook story came hand in hand with Arya and Walder. Bran would be proud . . . or not.

You know what I think? After the final scene in the episode- with Dany and her fleet, soldiers and dragons . . . . Fred Flinstone, erh, I mean Robert Baratheon would be rolling in his grave right now.

The day he feared basically came true. A Targaryan at the head of a massive army with three grown dragons.

Wow.

And Dany is free to wed someone . . . Word on the block is that we got a new King in the North.

Edit:

As we've all noticed as the series goes on and beyond what has been written for the books so far, we get more 'hollywoody' as time goes. So keeping true to that development, with Dany right out stating that she needs to marry I think the THE KIT IN THE NORTH! will prob be her hubby, Reach and Dorne have already declared for her. Westerlands/Crownlands/Stormlands and parts of the Riverlands are 'pro' Cers, but depleted after wars.

Other parts of the Riverlands will most likely support THE KIT IN THE NORTH! as they did with Robb, but both the riverlands and the North are pretty depleted themselves, the Vale however is pretty much at full strength, so with 2.5-3 kingdoms declared for THE KIT IN THE NORTH! I think that will be Dany's best choice, also helps that Tyrion actually likes Jon.

Anywho that's my belief so far.

Oh, cool fun facts! Except we can't forget Rob's baby was also stabbed; before he was actually. I didn't know his wolf was killed before he was! Time to watch the Red Wedding episode again!

So Dany can marry Jon Snow (who is possibly her nephew); or Lilttlefinger (who may turn his focus from Sansa when Dany arrives); ... or ... er, Cersei?







Yes, I do think Tyrion liked Jon. Might be a good thing if it turns out later that they are all possibly related! (That's right; I'm not giving up on Tyrion being a possible monkey in the Targaryen/Lannister woodpile; since they are immune to Greyscale disease and Tyrion was exposed with Mormont and didn't catch it - not to mention his rapport with the dragons)

So, add to that: Dany's; Jon's; and Tyrion's Mothers all died giving birth to them. Makes me think there is a Targaryen connection that causes the women to suffer traumatic births! BWAAHAA!

I just had to share these. Hilarious.

Well then. Didn't even think of that one bit.I haven't read some of the books so I never caught on. More proof dragons are just Dany's nukes. I mean we already have Euron wanting to take over the dragons.

And Euron is rumored to have one dragon egg that he supposedly lost at sea (yeah, right!) - and he also owns a horn that is supposed to tame dragons and bend their will to him instead of Dany. I see a big war battle between him and Dany going on before she reaches Kings Landing!

I'm currently enjoying:
The Big Bang Theory.
Supergirl.
Blue Bloods (me and my dad's personal favorite).
NCSI: LA and New Orleans.
Mom.
The Odd Couple.
Kevin Can Wait.
Brain Dead.
Although I still watch Two Broke Girls, I've kinda got tired of it. The show has become WAY to predictable.

Psych is my all time favorite show. Currently watching the X Files in it's entirety.
