A lot of things are better than the last episode of GoT

Luckily the showrunners this time have finished source material.

What is the source material?

George RR Martin's book Fire and Blood

I watched “Selling the OC.” Oh em gee some of the women are are just so loud, nasty, backstabbing, people. The rest are just followers. The only genuine people I think are Jarvis and Rose.

Alex Hall is just so nasty, mean, and a terrible human being. Polly is just simply annoying as hell. Cannot stand her accent and loudness. Sad that they don’t realize how they are.

Another great episode of HOTD tonight, very interested to see them pin Rhaenyra against Alicent as well as the War of the Stepstones.

I'm gonna try to resist and watch HOTD only after all 10 episodes are released and then BINGE like mad. Wish me luck.

Watched episode 1 and 2. I heard mixed opinions on LOTR prequel maybe I'll do that for that so I only need to pay for 1 month of prime video.

OK blast from the past, trying 6 feet under. Yelling, a lot of yelling. Characters so zany and unpredictable.... did I mention the yelling.

I don't get it.

I've been reading a bunch of positive press on the LOTR series, seems like they definitely used that large budget well.

My new favorite character... I'm getting Jon Snow vibes along with Prince Oberon. 2 of my favorite characters from GOT!

I don't know, something about Sir Criston Cole seems like he is not long for this world.

Rhaenyra still remains an easy favorite of mine of course, as the show is setting her up as their Daenerys/Arya combo, however Corlys Velaryon I think will be an awesome character, giving me some Tywin Lannister vibes in that he doesn't like to lose. I also think Rhaenys "The Queen That Never Was" will be an interesting one, she reminds me of Olenna Tyrell in what we've seen so far, as she has wisdom but is also realistic and aware of how things work no matter how awful they may be.

Either way, I am so excited to see these characters, especially since George RR Martin has described them as "grey characters" meaning there will be less good guys than before and everyone will be very complex.

Next week we'll see the birth of Aegon II and that should really ignite the feud between Rhaenyra and Alicent. We'll also get more information on the Crabfeeder and the eventual War of the Stepstones.

Saw the first episode and it was definitely great. Just don't want to wait week after week for the next one so trying to see if I can resist till the end.

Ya, the LOTR prequel trailer didn't look so hot, we'll see.

TXSTYLE · 08-29-2022, 05:36 PM

Not sure what the doubts of the LOTR prequel from Amazon are about...?

Here. Allow me to provide you with the final trailer released just last week. It looks every bit the most expensive made for television series ever!!!

Equilibrandt · 08-29-2022, 05:42 PM

Really enjoying Designated Survivor and The Bear.

HOTD is great, thus far.

dradernh · 08-29-2022, 06:40 PM

We're rolling with early reruns of Midsomer Murders – back when John Nettles and Jason Hughes were leading the program.

I enjoyed Designated Survivor a lot. Even the supporting cast was worthy of investment.

We watched a handful of those a few years back. Good, light entertainment.

How much wine were you drinking? Got about 5 episodes in, jeeeeeezus, talk about boring. It all feels so forced.

I wasn't expecting it to be a fast paced action series or anything, but it was the premise that I bought into. As a series I enjoyed it.

Alfisti · 08-30-2022, 10:27 AM

It was american bald eagle, statue of liberty stuff. Lots of standing around, looking and sounding very serious and very stately with the central hero full of good intentions and valor.
