The TV Thread (GoT spoilers)

Klaus

He was really, really bad in Arrow, haha. I usually think he's a pretty decent actor otherwise. There's this cultish Japanese film called Survive Style 5+ that came out a few years ago where he played a hitman. It's probably his best non-Guy Ritchie related work to date.

Qwiss

Vinnie Jones is terrible if he has to move his face or talk. I enjoyed him in Arrow though because he was so OTT. John Barrowman is another terrible actor. Still acts to the back row of a West End theatre.

Asterix

Finished watching Silk. It was terrific until the last 30 seconds, when it really shitted me and my missus right off. Why do writers have to be arty w*ankers?

Rex

Got back to Homeland the other week, mainly because I have watched the first 3 seasons. I had forgotten quite how much I dislike Carrie. Can't remember if I have ever watched a show where I dislike the main character as much.

goon

Yep, just looking at her face gets me annoyed.

Don't think I'll bother with Homeland since Brody is no more. It's been shit since season 1 anyway.

Rex

I hated Brody too. Saul is the only character that is easy to like. A case for Quinn as well I guess.

goon

Oh I didn't like Brody either, but I was intrigued to see where his story ends.

Klaus

Brody was actually supposed to die towards the end of season 1. The bomb vest was supposed to go off. I think about that sometimes. How much better the show could have been if they had some balls. Instead they chickened out - only to have a similar attack happen anyway in season 2. Such absolute nonsense.

Getting really specific here. 😆

Terrible decision.

Another strong Better Call Saul episode. Loved the subtle Sopranos reference.

i thought it was great. i love that they are methodically setting things up and not rushing. they are going to flesh out all of the characters, not just saul and mike, and they aren't looking for instant payoffs. 3 episodes in and mike made his first contribution. really excited to see where this goes.

Yep. As much as I can't wait to see Gus Fring again I like that they are taking their time. I haven't read anything about future plans for the show but it looks to me like there is atleast a second season in the works.

Klaus

Agent Carter is some of the best stuff on tv right now. I thoroughly disliked both Captain America films but this one's terrific all around. Hayley Atwell is superb.

Rex

Seriously doubt I'll bother with season 5 of Homeland.

Just watched the latest episode. I disliked the first Captain America, so was unsure about this as it's set in the same time period. It's excellent.

harris wittels died of a drug overdose at 30. what a shame, he was a very talented writer and a very funny dude.

QuincyAbeyie

I must say, The 100 is one of the most exciting things on television right now.

Gazza M

the heist on this weeks banshee was epic

QuincyAbeyie

Yeah, incredibly tense. Proper use of that way of filming, as opposed to most horror movies.
