<p>For those following (or about to follow) Revolution, it has been canned.</p>

<p>I guess that was to be expected ... unsure if they can tie the whole thing up in the last one or two episodes. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I enjoyed the show, but it jumped around like crazy with it's storylines.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing that annoyed me the entire time is that in the early flashbacks they were starting to show (I think) how Bass and Miles became the leaders of the Monroe Republic. They had a scene where they took out some fellows and Miles was the ruthless one and Bass was trying to calm him down. I was always waiting for the follow up flashbacks to that and they never came ... frustrating! </p> -

<p>Stink, but not surprised...<br><br>
Anyone seen the mini-series Klondike? Just saw the trailer on Discovery and looks pretty good, Ridley Scott and a decent looking cast.</p>

<p>Is it starting? I mentioned it on this thread a while back as I had heard good things but haven't bothered to track it down.</p> -
<p>nah it just said 'coming soon'....</p>

<p>spoiler up that GOT shit bro!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched the first 2 episodes of 24 last night. jack Bauer is still awesome, and i am instantly hooked. </p> -
<p>yeah I thought it was pretty blah until the last part, was wondering if they were ever gonna get around to it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Last nights ep almost seemed like a time filler, even though there is a heap of stuff they could put in, but will leave out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good to see they gave a bit to Varys, and some may have missed or not realised the significance of the piece between him and Tyrion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still plenty of death to come of characters we know, will be disappointed to lose a couple of them.[/spoiler]</p> -

<p>I agree, I thought it was a pretty poor episode across the board ... even the final scenes weren't as good as I was expecting them to be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler] The focus on the two most annoying aspects of the show was, um, annoying. The Theon/Reek and the crazy Snow bastard is just a show dead spot. Even the action in that scene was poor - not helped by the fact I'm watching S2 of Vikings and the action scenes are brilliant in that - and I really don't give a shit about either character. As for Stannis, I wish that Sir Davos would just stick a sword through him and take over his army and become a kind of pirate raiders type like Sir Francis Drake - that would liven that part of the story up to make the time spent worthwhile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe it's because we have a proliferation of courtroom dramas on Planet Earth but I found even those scenes to be pretty ho hum, although it was good to see Tyrion, and Tyrion and Jamie interacting. It only started getting good near the end and then it ended. [/spoiler]</p> -
<p>I just picked up Season 8 of 24 on DVD for $20. The wife and I now have 6 nights to watch it before Ep3 of this season. Too much last night alluded to the last season, and i was fucking lost. </p>

Great stuff in Game of Thrones lastnight, the final show down between Tyrion and Tywin was epic<br><br></p></blockquote>

It was a good episode but once again they put in non book stuff. Not sure what the point was in putting the Theon rescue in. That was pretty shit.This focus on the iron bank suggests they'll play a bigger part in the books. -
Maybe Mr Martin has hinted to them at as yet unwritten plot lines and they are building toward them?

<p>I think he's pretty involved in the series isn't he? He's written a few scripts etc. So he could be pointing them in the direction of the book he's writing that he's not going to complete because he's going to croak first ;).</p> -

That certainly doesn't apply to the Theon scene. Maybe it was just a reminder that the Iron Born are still around? -
