TV Thread 6

I could not think of a nice title, so I went with a generic one.


I am sad to hear this morning that Ryan Dunn, Jackass, died of a car accident. He was known to be a horrible driver.

MTP: Yoren is a Brother of The Night's Watch. He came from The Wall for recruits with Tyrion.

Also, the Starks have always had good relations with Night's Watch.

Ah, ok...thanks.

Also thanks to the mods for cutting off our convo from the old thread. I was hoping to keep that one going just to spite our pretend-mod Pizzaboy.

******** the mods.

Yoren was also the one who brought news of Catelyn kidnapping the Imp to Stark.

New thread??....By Pizzaboy??....Why am I not surprised??..

It's a bit sad, isn't it?

What did you mods ever do to Bro?

I hope for his sake he died instantly because the charred and mangled remains of his car do not look good. He was so badly burnt he had to be identified by his tattoos apparently. The Twitter picture he posted hours before which showed him out drinking with his mates was somewhat ill-advised.

Bro is a rebel and stands for freedom and opposes authority.

Damn that sucks. It is horrifying just to imagine and picture it.

******** you and your people.

The penultimate episode of GoT was soooo good. The whole of the final scene was incredibly well shot, directed, acted, etc. The season finale was really good too, but I thought the setup episode was better. Last week's actually felt more like a setup episode for next season... well, I guess it kind of is.

To those who have read the books: Is it safe to read the first book in the series?

Yet again... DEADWOOD!!!!

You can read the first book, but you will be caught by the "big reveal" of the series. It probably won't come up explicitly in the series because it hasn't explicitly in 4 books, but still.

That's alright. I've always maintained that spoilers are not the biggest deal to me. It's more about the journey of getting there that makes it what it is more so than the end result, so to speak. Not gonna lie though I do try to avoid spoilers if I can, but in this case I'm willing to go for it.

Thanks.

It's not a spoiler, as it's never mentioned in 4 books. It's just something largely hinted at.

Well ******** you and your "non-spoilers" then. Im'ma read 'em still.

Not everyone picks it though.

I didn't until the third book.

Pretty good for a Canadian that.

I finally got around to rewatching season 2 of The Wire. It's really underrated. It's a very good season of television. I think it did start a little slow, but I feel a lot of the disappointment comes from the quick change in character focus.

I dunno, I just thought that it was actually very good. I still hate Ziggy, but Frank Sobotka was one of the best played characters in the entire series. They could not have cast anyone better for that role.

I'm five episodes into season one. I feel like it's a little slow. Does it pick up after a while? According to Bro season 2 is pretty slow too.

Season 1 starts picking up towards the end.

Season 2 has such a complicated system of corruption that it takes a while for all the pieces to be set in place. Season 3 is fire from the beginning.

Also, True Blood season 4 premiere.

One of the worst episodes of television ever. They need to cancel the series. Too much magic ************ry

True Blood is not a good show.
