I skipped it, didn't miss it. I assume it had something to do with Gannicus becoming the "god of the arena"?

Anyway I finished Spartacus. Actually not a bad show if you don't mind that they seem to be appealing to frat boy college bros or whatever.

To be honest I didn't even notice the main guy switched. I think there were like two episodes where I was like hmmm but it passed quickly.

7/10, if you like tits and swords you'll enjoy this.

Just finished watching seasons 1-3 of TNT's The Last Ship.

 

In a word:  awesome.

 

Season 4 begins 8/20.

I thought that got cancelled otherwise I would have been watching it.

I guess I'll check it out after I finish Spartacus.

Watched The Layover last night.

Kate Upton and her best friend fight over a man after their flight to Florida is cut short due to a Hurricane.

Worth watching. I was cracking up during the hot air balloon scene due to sympathizing with the friends fear of heights.

I actually don't care much for football, but fantasy football is completely different.

 

good point

 

Nol, AJ, I take it you're not interested?

Kidding...mostly...

I am a very casual viewer if I view at all. I usually only watch if someone around me is watching. A fantasy league is definitely not my thing.

A few guys at JN might possibly be interested in this if you want to ask.

Did you watch the prequel season? Any good or should I skip it?

Dude...

I feel like What I want to say is spoilers.

I will say this: Rand goes through several phases throughout the series. Some of them are annoying and some of them are awesome. There was definitely a point where I dearly missed farmboy Rand.

Stick with the series through book 4. It widens dramatically from there.

Do you know if the show ends on a cliffhanger or not?

I am ok with a rushed ending but cliffhangers always suck.

Last time a show I liked left me on a cliffhanger I was emo for like 4 years.

Has anyone here watched this show? I've been watching it on Netflix and I have some thoughts.

First I want to get out of the way that I know the main guy got cancer and the show was ultimately cancelled so maybe what I hope for doesn't come to fruition, I'm only 10 episodes in.

With that said the show seems to be aiming at a certain audience. When there's violence it is very gruesome with lots of CGI blood and to the tune of rock anthems. Sex and nudity is near constant and rages from casual to depraved. This is Game of Thrones on steroids as far as sex and violence. You can imagine what audience they were aiming this show at but underneath there is something that is holding my interest. It is the story about a man, a slave, who has been broken down and remade into a Gladiator. And he wants to fulfill that role. He wants nothing more than to be the champion of the arena and to be the best slave that he can be. But these damn Romans keep giving him more and more reason to hate them! Sometimes the acts of cruelty aren't even against him but merely in his presence but there is a near constant reminder that the people who he calls master are worth nothing but contempt. I don't know what it is about that that I find so entertaining. I think I'm waiting to see the breaking point. How far can they push him before he turns into the leader of an uprising we know of well?

Anyway if anyone has seen it let me know what you think but please spoiler major plot spoilers.

I read a theory on a "missed detail" that I don't think was actually intended but sounded kind of right.

Littlefinger loved Cat and tried to marry her but was rejected by her father for not being important enough. So Littlefinger's entire life from then on was dedicated to gaining power and wealth. Trying to be "Somebody", as in Somebody important.

Arya has spent almost the entire events of the series trying to leave behind her legacy as a Stark because it was deadly to her. Everyone wanted something from Arya Stark so she traveled half way around the world to become "Nobody".

In the end: Nobody killed Somebody.

Again, I don't think this was actually intended I think it's just a case of a fan finding a funny little detail, but it is funny regardless.

Cleganebowl Season 8 confirmed!

So next season is pretty much going to be two women impregnated via incest trying to kill each other?

Well...uhh...yeah I guess so...

Did I misunderstand or what? I could have sworn Cersei nodded at Zombie Mountain to kill Jaime and he took out his sword...and did nothing.

What was with Tyrion being a creeper?

Wow Mercy change.

Suck it Mercy mains!

Did anyone see the new Mei short?

My thoughts:

How is there not already a thread for this?!

I saw a great comment chain on reddit and thought I would share.

 

"Not Dany. How about my Queen?"

Guess that's how smooth you have to be to seduce your Aunt.

 

I thought he was proposing at first.

 

 

Doesn't matter, he'll be getting that dragonass soon

 

 

Dany: I thought you said you were here for dragonglass

Jon: S-Sorry, that's what I meant to say...

I'll check it out I guess. I am going into it with low expectations though...

It seems my leaked episode ended early and I didn't realize it. I've now watched the full ending.

 

Sandor's got something against gingers?  *ponders*

 

"kissed by fire"

 

30 hours-ish. I'm trying to be strong and avoid the YouTube videos that are tagged as episode 6 spoilers.

 

One of my coworkers approached me on Thursday and told me she'd watched it. All she said was that she cried.

 

One of my coworkers caved on Thursday night and all she said was it was great and one of her theories was right. I was afraid to ask what theory

 

Ok I'll tell you...
