Topic: The TV Show Thread

Thank you, okay so my biggest gripe with House of the Dragon is:
Why didn't Rhaenys kill Aegon and Alicent when she had the chance? She has already killed several people in the initial storming of the hall and this will surely lead to all-out war between the two houses so she might as well have killed them when she had the chance as payback right? Or at the very least she could have killed Alicent if she felt Aegon didn't deserve it. Otherwise everything about her plan was just too idiotic for someone who has previously been portrayed as being quite competent.

@RogerRoger
Thanks. And my dad wonders why I never got into programming.

@RogerRoger Damn those pesky capital S's in spoiler tags!

While The Rings of Power was rather slow to get going, I really enjoyed the finale. Clear ties to the later history that we all know of Middle-Earth made it a bit easier to follow too!

Finally caught up with Succession. That season 3 ending was a bit of a gut punch and I am very interested in seeing how it all comes to an end. Also finished rewatching Ash vs Evil Dead and that show deserved better. Still kind of bitter it got cancelled but what is a network to do with low ratings?

@PegasusActual93 In the interest of spoilers I won't say too much... other than Succession is probably in my top #3 shows of all time, and that S3 final twist was something pretty special! One of the few times that television has taken me utterly by surprise, and genuinely didn't see that final moment coming. Great performances all round, especially Jesse Armstrong (Ken) and Matt MacFadyen (Tom).

Actually really enjoyed Doctor Who. One hell of an ending too! Just lovely to see all the old companions and Doctors too!

@nessisonett
I stopped watching Doctor Who after the first season with Jodie Whitaker. Nothing against the actors they did good it's just that the writing took a very noticeable nosedive in quality and the plot was starting to go places I really did not like, shame as a long time fan.

@PegasusActual93 I can’t exactly say it’s been a great term for Jodie but it’s nothing to do with her portrayal, she’s done the best she could. Chibnall dropped the ball on the whole but there are a couple of alright episodes in there. That one tonight was about 60% good and 40% a bit crap so it’s probably one of her best episodes!

@Kairu
That show has it's low point's but when the writers bring their A game there really isn't anything else quite like it.

Hurtling towards the end of 'Justified' - now half way through Season 6 (final season), which IMO has been a large improvement on the previous season.

Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins are absolutely magnificent as Raylan and Boyd... especially the latter. The way that Goggins can embody such a high level of charisma, coupled with absolute menace, is incredible... makes me want to re-watch The Shield (in which he was equally great).

Show seems to be heading towards a satisfying conclusion, and I'll miss it when I'm done!

My only complaint is that some of the peripheral characters don't get nearly enough screentime/backstory - would love to see more of Raylan's sidekick, the long-suffering PTSD sniper Tim Gutterson ha

@nessisonett @PegasusActual93 I dropped off Dr Who through the latest iteration too

I remember watching the first few episodes and being pretty underwhelmed, plus Bradley Walsh?? (and now John Bishop???). The move to Sunday didn’t help either as I was always more likely to watch it “live”.

It’ll be interesting to see how the next few episodes do!

I've watched a few episodes of Cyberpunk Edgerunners and I'm really digging it. I love all of the music, lingo, cars, adverts and locations from the game. Preem stuff. Characters are pretty cool, too.

Watched dr who last night, definitely one of the better episodes of this era. The twist at the end got me hyped for next years episodes.

Never seen the show, but know a few on here are fans...

@JohnnyShoulder Thanks for this... had no idea a teaser had dropped! This show is immaculate, easily in my top #3 of all time - just so good

@JohnnyShoulder Buzzing! You really should get round to it, it’s easily one of the best shows on at the moment.

@Kairu There's definitely nothing that would spoil the game for you, just references from it. It's great seeing and hearing things from the game but I don't think that anybody who hadn't played Cyberpunk 2077 would be lost watching Edgerunners. I'm not really into anime myself but I'm really enjoying the series. It will definitely make you want to play the game after watching it.

@JohnnyShoulder
How convenient I just finished season 3 and am all caught up.
Quick question, I am on Android and am trying to figure out how to copy and past an image from my gallery into this forum, does anyone have experience with this?

@CJD87 @nessisonett @PegasusActual93 I may have to suck it up and sub to NOW TV, but I really do hate the service! 😂
