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? -

<p>Sirens wasn't bad. It was a bit slow for me initially, but the horse porn episode was laugh out load hilarious, and it got better from there.</p>

<p>Silicon Valley is from Mike Judge (Office Space, King of the Hill, Beavis & Butthead). First episode is set up, but after that the one character gets less annoying, and it starts to gel. </p> -

<p>Not sure what you mean? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was simply saying maybe Martin in discussions with the writers of the TV series indicated the Iron Born, including Reek/Theon will be quite prevalent in the next book, so they had thought they'd put a bit more about them in the series, regardless of the current book.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Given the next 2 books run concurrently, it will be interesting how they do them, especially with some more characters joining in.</p> -
<p>I don't disagree for the most part. At least I hope the differences wont be huge. Its just that the Theon scene was far removed from anything that happened in the books and can't really be any indication of future events in the books. I'd elaborate but I'm farked if I know how to do that Spoilers thing. Have you read Dance of Dragons?</p>
-
<p>you can just type [spoiler]blah blah blah [/sp0iler] but put an 'o' in instead of the '0'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah I don't see the point of that scene either, was a bit of a waste and seemed like they were just filling in time until the trial, was just speculating!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yea I have read and listened to unabridged versions (in combination) of them all.</p> -

<p>Bearing in mind I'm someone who hasn't read the books (aside from 80% of Game of Thrones), wouldn't it be better to treat them as separate entities so that you wont keep making comparisons between the books and the TV show? Although if staying 100% true to the books meant no Theon/Reek and that other Snow then I'd be all for a faithful adaption.</p>

<p>Which is the one character that gets less annoying ... they were all pretty annoying to me. Except for the totty, but that's juts because she was better to look at than all the fellows. I'll watch another couple of episodes to see how it goes as we're entering a dead time for comedies.</p> -
<p>not really a fan of The Flash, but will no doubt have a look at it...keenly awaiting Gotham though!</p>

<p>Here's a much better trailer. Looks like a more interesting setup than just 'fast guy catches baddies'</p>

<p>From what I've heard about Gotham I'm a bit iffy. Apparently they're going to include young versions of the key villains in a TV show where Batman is not Batman because he's only a kid. I guess it all comes down to execution ... maybe they'll pull it off perfectly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I liked the old Flash in the 90s, but I guess I need to catch up on Arrow before watching the new one, he was in at least one episode before I gave up on this season. I see that Ed from Ed is in Flash.</p> -
<p>there is next to nothing in Arrow about him, aside from the event leading to him becoming the Flash, a couple of mentions of him by the lovely Ms. Smoak, but otherwise...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I saw the trailer for Gotham and I thought it looked good, I've not read anything about it, but then Batman would be my fave super hero</p> -
<p>yeah she's ok I reckon aye....</p>

<p>That actor is like that in everything he does so as soon as I saw him I was expecting it ... others were more annoying to me. </p>
