Best opening scene of any TV series ever.

Not even close.

If you say so.

Shady

Have you not seen Breaking Bad?

I'm also pretty sure Boardwalk and GoT had better opening scenes.

I like what I've seen of Utopia so far, but the first scene was a bit gimmicky.

Qwiss

Lost had an amazing opening scene too.

I've seen Breaking Bad, I just prefer "Where is Jessica Hyde?"

Was just as much of a WTF opening scene as Breaking Bad, with the added bonus of being really sinister.

I've also seen Boardwalk Empire, but I'm fucked if I can remember its opening scene.

The League has started again. Pretty good comedy.

Qwiss

It can be bit and miss but when it hits it's absolutely hilarious.

Can't remember the start of Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad being particularly spectacular. Lost is a good shout, must rewatch that again. I gave up on Lost midway through season 3 but might watch it in full soon.

I presume some of you use Netflix? Just started a free trial. Might be worth keeping especially as its easy enough to switch versions. I switched to the USA version thinking it would be a lot better from the Uk/Ire one but i didn't see a huge improvement, it was just different. I like the "Add to List" feature on the UK one as well.

I wouldn't bother, Lost only got worse. And as good as the opening scene is, the final scene is equally bad.

Burnwinter

As I recall the opening sequence of GoT is the same as the books. A poncy nobleman who's been sent to the Night's Watch gets killed by Others somewhere out beyond the Wall.

QuincyAbeyie

That is correct.

Burnwinter

It was beautifully shot in the show though, that sequence.

After they get done with GoT I wouldn't mind someone optioning Joe Abercrombie's novels, I reckon they'd be a lot of fun as a TV serial.

Comedienne Joan Rivers dies....
No one was spared her knives.....She didn't apologize when she went over the edge....
No one quite like her....
Did a fair amount of TV, first female to host a late night show and did a lot on E network....

He gets killed by the White Walkers. Are they called Others in the books, or did you mix it up with Lost?

I like how it will have taken the show five seasons to catch up with its own intro sequence when we (I assume) get to see more of that walker army next year.

She was a hilarious woman. She'd a good run though. No great tragedy.

Good shout. Would definitely watch that, love his sense of humour.

The walking dead season 4 finale is shite.

Burnwinter

Klaus, been a while since I've read the books but I'm fairly sure GRRM uses the term Others for the ice zombie types.

QuincyAbeyie

I read the first one, they are called Others. Think they use White Walkers in the series because of Lost.

She did have a great run, reinventing herself many times along the way....The only tragedy is how she died...That raspy, New York accented voice was essential to who she was....A routine procedure on her vocal chords killed her.....
