<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>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> </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>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> -

<p>Finale of Vikings, pretty good! But for a History Channel production they seem to be veering a bit (unless the version I found was wrong)<br><br>
[spoiler]i thought Horik would need to go (supposedly he doesn't die here in recounts of Viking history, and isn't really that involved...unless I am looking at the wrong Horik)<br><br>
I was convinced Flokey had lost his way, but had an inkling something was up when he fed the fungus to Rollo and then the other guy with him supposedly dying, as well as not killing Bjorn (although again having read a little about Bjorn....) when the opportunity was there, but was good he hadn't as I like him. Also interesting how he played the role to his wife also.<br><br>

<p>I've just finished the 2nd series, I basically marathoned the S1 and S2 over the past week or so. What a great show. Only poor episode was E7 of S2 for me as it had to much mystic bullshit in it ... keep that crap in fantasy shows people.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The action scenes are awesome, they make the Game of Thrones action scenes seem hammy in comparison.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Earl Lagertha is damn hot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler] I didn't actually believe that Floki had lost his way. The writers didn't give us enough of a reason as to why Floki would go against Ragnar. Plus, Loki as a double agent kind of fit with the kind of moves you'd expect Ragnar would make going by the rest of the series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was glad that they replaced Bjorn, the original version annoyed the hell out of me for some reason. The jump they made in episode 2 were trippy as, it was interesting to see that after 4 years Athelstan had become one of them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm trying to avoid reading up on the actual history as I just want to watch the show without spoilering myself. [/spoiler]</p> -
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;"><span style="color:#222222;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Wouldn't worry to much about the reading on actual history Nepia. F all is really known about Ragnor and it's even suggested he's more a myth than a real person according to some experts and I'm not so sure they are really trying to be truthful to known history with the story lines. Ragnor's sons on the other hand have very interesting histories. As does Rollo, although I'm pretty sure it's never been suggested he was brother to Ragnor.</span></span></span></p>
