I think one of the latter episodes that season acted like a backdoor pilot to The Originals.

Yeah, that's right. Buy the actual pilot was just another version of this episode, so it isn't a must. I think the one in TVD was from Elijah's point of view, while the actual pilot was the exact same events, just from Klaus' point of view.

Klaus

So that's why I had a sense of deja vu through the whole first episode when I started to watch The Originals!

Seasons 2-4 of TVD are vital to watch first because they clue you in on the backstory of these characters though.

Qwiss

Grand so, I'm near the end of the last season of TVD but only a few eps into Originals.

Macca

The only crossover I can recall is when Tyler left TVD for the originals for a couple episodes which was of minimal importance to the story line anyway.

The recent few episodes of both shows have been cringe worthy stuff.

Wow, big unexpected twist in Arrow yesterday! Looking forward to hopefully an explanation next week!

Damn you. I was hoping the twist would be spoiler (Sara faking her death) and Laurel faking her whinging, meekly raging, multi-slap provoking life.

Instead it's a much more mundane trope twist.

I think we must be better at putting spoilers in white text. Luckily the spoilers I've read in both the TV series- and the film thread so far are from things I've seen, but if not it would be very annoying. I want to go into the thread to have a discussion without being afraid to read spoilers. I get it if it's from som years back (even though I personally put it in white text anyway), but when it's from an episode that aired 1-2 weeks ago and hasn't even aired in many countries.. That's definitely white text material.

the first 2 episodes of peaky blinders has definitely intrigued me. looking forward to seeing how things play out

Just watched the first episode of series 2 of "The Fall" - wasn't sure how it'd carry through from series 1 but based on that instalment it's just as tense, creepy and grim.

Daz

We're still on series 1 in Aus and I'm really enjoying it. Nice to see Scully on screen again too.

Burnwinter

She's great in Hannibal, not that she has a massive part to play. Top actor to be fair.

Klaus

Burnsy: She's been upgraded to a main character for season 3 apparently. Very much looking forward to it. Scully is class.

Burnwinter

How good is Hannibal Season 3 going to be though? Think this is where it breaks out from an awesome week by week avant-garde murder smorgasbord to a fully fledged whirling maelstrom of psychological chaos.

RocktheCasbah

I saw Miss Anderson do Streetcar a couple of months ago, one of the best nights of my life.

Burnwinter

Now if you'd said you did her in a streetcar …

Daz

Don't you talk about my Scully like that Burnsy.

I still haven't seen Hannibal...bloody hell that's another show to add to my list. Where in the hell do you fuckers find the time for all these tv shows and movies?

QuincyAbeyie

I've often considered starting to watch Hannibal. A friend said it was one of the most pretentious/self-satisfied shows he had ever seen, though. Would you guys disagree?

Haha yes! When i think of Hannibal i always think of that Sothpark episode where they get so smug they start smelling their own farts. But its still good though. Oh and Scully becoming a main character is hardly a surprise given how season 2 ended!

@ Sirius - ha, i used Vikings the exact same way. Waited until after Game of Thrones had finished before starting season 2.

Currently half way through season 2 of Arrested Development. Very enjoyable but not up there with the best comedies imo.

QuincyAbeyie

😆 I've only seen five or six Southpark episodes, but that's one of them.

I disliked the procedural element to the previous seasons so I'm very excited. They have a bunch of actors with some genuine range here too; it might be one of the most well-casted show on tv at the moment. Let them have more stuff to work with, like in the season finale.

Gazza M

new season of trailer park boys is still funny as hell. i really wasn't expecting much because season 6 & 7 were weak, and doing another season seemed like a cash grab, but it's still good stuff
