Come come, Mr Bond. You take just as much pleasure from nude whores fingering each other spliced with assassinations and guys in full plate armour as I do.

Any chance of ye not talking about stuff that happened in the books and hasn't been on TV yet?

The start of the new season of Game of Thrones has been really slow. Pretty sure it's going to pick up big time later though.

Isn't it always slow?

GaelForce

Didn't think the first season was. The second was horribly slow until the final few episodes.

But without wanting to be one of 'those' people, this and the next season should be the best of the lot.

Yep, I'd say there's a chance.

Pepe LeFrits

Yep, keep the revelations of Melisandre's nuclear farts to yourself.

Maybe in the early part of the nineties. Nowadays I encounter those things daily. The Internet is one big pile of depraved porn, spoiled kids and character assassinations.

Started watching the Thick of It last week and it's easily one of the best and wittiest programs to come out of the BBC.

goon

Yeah, but does it have dragons?

Klaus

Also: porn?

Mirth

It satirises the inner workings of the modern British government. Does that count?

Two good interviews about Hannibal:

“When I sat down to the script, I was very consciously saying, ‘What would David Lynch do with a Hannibal Lecter character? What sort of strange, unexpected places would he take this world?’ I’m a great admirer of his work and his aesthetic and his meticulous sound design. Those were all components that I felt very strongly needed to be part of our Hannibal Lecter story."

…One of my first questions [was], “What can you eat on the human body?” And he said, “Everything. You can eat everything. You can grind the bones into gelatin to use in Jell-O molds.”

Pic from second episode of Hannibal:

Here's the homage to The Shining from the first episode:

I really love the set design in this show.

Timbob

Dang, thought it was a show about the great Carthage general, which sounded really cool.

Klaus

It's a reimagining of sorts. Expect to see war elephants in the third episode.

No one's going to care about this except Tam, but Richard Collins, the man who played Phil Collins in Trailer Park Boys, has died: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/04/16/richard-collins-trailer-park-boys-actor-dies_n_3092333.html

Absolutely heartbreaking news. I loved that guy. If they ever make another season it will forever have a big, Dirty Burger-shaped hole in it.

Tam

Aye I seen that, such a shame. He was a great character. My friends that all loved him too.

The "Bam!" "Peanut butter and jaaaaam!" Still has me doubled over laughing and I've seen it countless times. Love the clip in the courtroom where he burps over bubbles and the one where he gets hit by a bottle on his belly. So many great hilarious moments.

My brother was saying they're currently filming a third movie. I'm going to see the stage show again in a few weeks. Got the tickets the other day and I'm looking forward to it but I do wonder what affect Richard Collins death will have on it.

RIP Philidelphia Collins, truly a man and a half
