@CJD87 ah yes, Matthew Rose played by Joe Absolom. I actually saw a poster for a play in my local cinema last year that had Joe Absolom on it and I was really wondering where I knew that name from before I looked it up and realised. Which is why I now have an in-depth knowledge of who played Matthew rose on EastEnders 😂
@CJD87 haha oh yeah Gianni, I remember him getting stuck in the arches after it exploded or something? Possibly with Steve Owens sister and they struck up a romance after he pulled funny faces at her for a few episodes
I remember Beppe getting the Clap too and giving it to Lynne Hobbes (Slater) and she was really annoyed at him. "Beppes got the clap" was a memorable line said many times during that storyline 🤣
Anyway, we are probably giving too many spoilers for Ness!
Finished watching The Last of Us on HBO last week. I honestly enjoyed it way more than the game. The story was more focused and the episodes were very memorable. Pedro Pascal is perfect as Joel, although Bella Ramsey didn't really feel like Ellie. She felt more "rough" than Ellie in the video game. I also have to say that the show didn't have enough clickers. I mean, it felt like the show makers forgot about them after awhile. But when they did show up, it was absolutely awesome. It was also really cool how faithful to the game they made the show, with some differences and even integrating the DLC into the main story. Lastly, I like how they actually included Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the voice actors, in the show but damn did they do Troy dirty. I felt so sorry for him when he died.
I'm really excited to play Part II now that I've "recapped" the first game and especially now that they've released a remastered version on PS5.
@LtSarge I loved the show too; watched it back when it originally premiered and then watched it again with my aging mum (who also loved it). Just started playing part 2 remastered (finished Seattle Day 1) and, damn, I wept when I played the first game, wept when I saw the show and now they have me weeping again with part 2. I love it when entertainment media manages to provoke an emotional response in me.
Would this be your first run on part 2 or have you played it before?
Genuinely gutted about Dave from the Hairy Bikers. Spent my childhood watching them and part of the reason I love to cook. I’ve even had a Mii of him since about 2007 for some reason that I transferred to 3DS and then Wii U.
Just watched the first two episodes of Shogun and I am mightily impressed. Finished the excellent book by James Clavell only a couple of weeks ago and this adaptation delivers in spades so far! If the quality subsists, I wouldn't be surprised if this will end up on the top of many "best of the year" lists come the end of the year.
Highly recommended for both fans of the book and fans of historical drama!
finishing the rest of Season 3 of Switched at Birth this weekend. show's great but I swear it drags on with the Italian father drama where he's still acting his sketchy self.
the actor that starts as the rich car wash/baseball player I swear I've seen him before in a couple of movies or something years ago. he looks familiar a little bit
So haven't posted in a minute but wanted to share (somewhere) that I finally sat down and binged The Clone Wars and Rebels over the course of many weeks just to prepare myself for Ahsoka and let me tell you, Ahsoka, so far (on E3), has really been a let down in comparison. Here I was getting caught up on these cartoons for the sole purpose of a live action show I thought would be more worthy of my time but turns out the animated series' are where it's at. Who knew.

@zupertramp I enjoyed Rebels very much, but I can't get into Clone Wars, for some odd reason. I've seen the first two seasons and it just didn't click for me, I guess. I will give season 3 a chance down the road, though.
@FuriousMachine The first couple seasons of Clone Wars are totally different to the later ones I’d say. It has a really weird structure of stories out of order and such, whereas you get some really good arcs later on. It’s worth a go but you have to kinda push through some of the less interesting stuff.
@nessisonett Right, I will power through season 3 as well and hopefully it will connect better with me. I've been very happy with Filoni's other work in the Star Wars sandbox, so I'm hopeful that CW will engage me more down the line.
@FuriousMachine first couple seasons of Clone Wars are a slog. Ngl I skipped a few episodes here and there using some online lists. There are some entertaining arcs throughout, but mostly later on. Series could have definitely been better executed. Some stuff really supplements Revenge of the Sith imo, without saying too much, at least for me.
Edit: on kind of a side note, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka have got to be two of the most tragic figures in SW. And I love them for that.

@zupertramp Yeah, there have been a few episodes where I've been looking more at my phone than the TV. Finding it hard to motivate me to go back in, especially as there is just so much other content just clamoring for my attention. I will try to get s3 going at one point, but might be a while
