@JohnnyShoulder We recently switched from Sky which we’d had for over 10 years to Now TV and it’s been pretty good actually. Much cheaper too, Sky don’t give a crap if you’re a long time customer and were charging us over £100 a month for basic HD TV and broadband.
@nessisonett I sat down and watched the latest Who last night and thought it was great fun. A shame that the big moments had already been plastered everywhere already but it was a fun episode that really used all of the 90 minutes.
Sure there were plot holes galore but the guy who plays The Master at the moment is great, striking the perfect balance of sinister mixed with panto villain.
As with all “new Who” it’s always interesting to read up afterwards quite how many references etc went over my head (the inclusion of Ian was pretty cool!) but even more so when I couldn’t tell if references were from the latest series or from the 60s.
Finished watching DC Titans season 3. Great season! I feel like I had a hard time growing fond of the characters in the first two seasons but that all changed in this one. Lots of backstories, touching moments and great interactions. Not to mention having the setting in Gotham definitely made for a nice change of scenery. Genuinely can't wait for season 4 now!
Driving School is now on iPlayer. Spent the night laughing my head off. Weirdly enough, despite it being 1997, it reminds me a lot of how I remember the UK from my early childhood, through the fashion and such.
I kind of want to start a bit of a discussion here. People are always talking about "the most shocking TV show deaths" so out of curiosity could some of you here maybe do the opposite and voice what characters who survived the whole show are you most surprised by? Mark your spoilers of course.

We just finished The Rings of Power on amazon… and quite liked it fair play. It might’ve helped that all I read for the last 2 months was hate, so my expectations were non-existent… but after the first one or two eps (which I did think were a bit ropey) I liked where the story went.
I’m not a Tolkien scholar or anything but I did read quite a bit about the history of Middle-Earth and Valinor back around 2000 and I personally didn’t feel that the narrative was that in opposition with the historical outline for the period. My memory from that time isn’t necessarily all that though, so I could well be way off.
@PegasusActual93 Don't know if this meets your requirements but I really hope Jaskier dies on The Witcher. He was bearable in S1 but he's the equivalent of Jar Jar Binks in S2.

That's a shame, as I think Cavill is almost perfect for the role. And I had massive reservations about him when I first heard he was cast. Not sure about Liam Hemsworth either, but we shall see.
Sorry to see this, as Cavill’s casting (IMO) as Geralt is absolutely lightning-in-a-bottle.
It’s awesome as well that Cavill was genuinely familiar with the source material prior to undertaking the role, and I believe he’d even played through Witcher 3 some years prior to auditioning…. Love that he’s a self confessed nerd! He’s great also with the fans, and the ‘event’ / interview side of things
@JohnnyShoulder
I just don't know how they will write in a proper explanation for a complete recasting of a character four seasons into a show. This isn't Doctor Who, I don't see how they could make it make sense.

@JohnnyShoulder Think the ‘not agreeing with the deviations’ thing was just an old quote taken out of context from an interview a year or so ago propagated by Fandom Menace types who still can’t get over Triss being black. The only people reporting it are sites like ScreenRant who’ll publish literally anything if you send it in. There’s absolutely no way that somebody like Henry Cavill would leave a show that he’s fully committed to for a seven season run fairly recently for reasons other than bigger opportunities. Superman is his way back into Hollywood rather than doing TV. If anything else, I’m sure there are quite a few Armie Hammer roles out there he could replace him in 😂
@Gremio108 Yeah, that exact one! Maureen almost killing her husband is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. It was put onto iPlayer recently!
@Kairu To be honest he felt like a side character in S2 anyway. Both seasons have been "meh" at best for me, I watched them as it's something to do and I'm not sure if I'll bother with the next series.
If they write a series dedicated to the hunting, capture, torture and execution of Jaskier and his entire family then I may return.
Cavill is too good for the show, besides he'll be busy being James Bond if the producers of the next phase have any sense.
