i finally caved and watched Game of thrones season 5. I'd watched the first couple of eps but got a bit bored and then I kept hearing how the series had veered so much from the books and had gone a bit crap. <br><br>
Well I'm glad I did go back to it, immensely enjoyed the last 5 or so episodes, don't really care that it isnt following the books. to be honest I felt the last couple of books had started to meander all over the place. If anyone else is in the same boat I recommend get back on it! Also now that its caught up I have genuinely no idea what is going to happen -
House of Cards. I find Zoe Barnes and every part she is in boring.

In fact if Frank had her killed I wouldn't care

<p>Been watching one of my guilty pleasures, <strong>Falling Skies</strong>, last series sucked, this series is much better, and would seem they have an awful lot to achieve in the final ever episode! </p>

<p>Yep, finale certainly felt very rushed and a tad too cheesy as well! </p> -
<p>House of Cards S1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was ok, started really well, but there were a lot of slow parts by the end of the series</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]And seriously, supposedly Frank has spent months/years planning all of this stuff, and 3 young reporters are able to untangle the whole thing in a couple of days? Fucking bullshit. And they had to make some pretty big leaps of faith that somehow all turned out to be accurate.<br><br>
As for Frank, who is supposed to be this Machiavellian schemer, so far his 2 biggest "victories" have come from getting a guy to punch him in the face, and killing a bloke. Anyone could do that.<br><br>
[/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, it was pretty good, I like watching Frank (although i can take or leave a large number of the other characters), so i'll keep going with the other series</p> -
<p>Yes why? still far superior conversation than speaking to the likes of you :)</p>

<p>well I have been about since the dawn of TSF time!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anywhoo...Mr. Robot - really enjoyed this series, thought it started slow but picked up about ep 5/6 onwards, and 8/9 were really good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thought Rami Malek was very good as Elliott, as well as most of the others.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Hope we learn more about Tyrell and his wife in the next season, they are very intriguing, assuming Elliott hasnt killed him.<br><br>
Once you knew Darlene was his sister was easy to figure out Mr. Robot was his dad and as such, dead.<br><br>
Be interesting to see where they go with it though.[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>Was looking for some new scifi, and tried watching both Dark Mater (people wake up on a ship with no memory of who they are and why they are there), and Killjoys (trio of bounty hunters in a system controlled by a company, with a looming class war). Actually ended up enjoying the later, blew through the 10 episodes pretty quickly. Dark Matter didn't real me in as much. Neither are Battlestar Galactica, but then nothing has come close since it ended.</p>

<p>New season of The League starts tomorrow in about 22 hours, for those whose "friends" watch it via alternative sources</p>

<p>Yeah I caught the first couple, looks good. Good to see Prince Oberon managed to get himself another job after being squeezed from his last role! </p> -
<p>Just finished Mr Robot, loved it. Episode's 8 and 9 blew my mind.</p>

<p>[spoiler]Yup for sure. The way Tyrell's wife was talking to Elliot made me wonder if Elliot is actually Tyrell as well!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit - the more I think about it, the more I'm convincing myself Tyrell is Elliot. Love any TV series that gets me thinking about it like that... bring on season 2.[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>interesting, hadn't thought about that, but yes that sounds like an interesting option...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fear the Walking Dead - pretty good episode, some good tense stuff!</p> -
