Game Of Thrones. Much better
Both "Clever Men" lay their cards on the table and the Bird Keeper comes off worse. The Brothers Lanister have one last great talk, the plank of wood Sister/Lover is still the plank of wood Sister/Lover till the end. Madness is in the blood it seems, and someone has to do a YouTube Vid of The Hound Vs Mountain scored with "Dual of the Fates"

Game of thrones........wow that was pretty dam fine.........the effects were off the scale........
Seeing some really negative stuff about it really unjustified
Trying no to spoil anything but all this episode was either foreshadowed, prophecy, or just the way it needed to be........
No real surprises just brilliant story telling..........
My only real complaint about this final season..(apart from the dark) is it really needs 3 or 4 extra episodes to pay off all the side characters, but if it has these we would most likely complain it was too slow.........no pleasing us.......lol

GoT, latest ep
{Spoiler} Similar complaints as before. This would have worked a lot better over a proper season or two. It feels like they just wanted to move on to working on some other show.
And for me, let's just say a few instances of 'foreshadowing' in terms of arguable cruelty against arguably deserving foes doesn't really set up a sudden switch from a rational military strategy (hit the ballistae and ships) to "I'll just smile to show I'm mad and burn all my intended subjects alive because I'm MAD!"
But whatever. One more ep left. It is what it is.

Also, John Oliver. Funny and poignant as always, but his writers give him some rather unfunny/obnoxious aside-jokes. (ie, the voice he uses to show he's imitating someone).
It's strange the way it comes across because I'd seen him yearly doing standup until he took over the Daily Show, then got his own on HBO. There were no unfunny points to his stand-up routine and I suspect it's because it was all his material.
Also been following What We Do In The Shadows. It's pretty good, though I do think the original movie was better.

Today I've been watching the last series of 'The Big Bang Theory' (I've just watched episodes 21 & 22 in the bath, and will be watching the finale later this evening). Whilst I will admit that I did 'grow out' of this show when I went to university, I'm sad to see this show go...

After that it became a bit samey and I admit I have not seen the last couple of seasons....

I think series 4 is when I finished watching it regularly (looking at Wikipedia, series 5 started 2days after I left for university) and have to agree that it felt a bit samey as well, though did still have a slight soft-spot for it. I'm currently watching the finale now. Siiiiigh...

Professionally their characters all had significant wins and were respected by their peers.. The last scene/speech by Sheldon really hit that personal growth home IMHO, he only then realised "outside of his mental comfort zone" what is actually going on in his world with his friends/family. Was very heartwarming.. Remember how he refused to "share credit" in the past..

Having watched the last series in full today, I can definitely appreciate the characters and how they've grown over the years as well I never thought I'd see the day where Sheldon (and, by extension, this show) would cause me to have tears of joy. You know what? I think I'll miss this show...

Nearly a million people have signed the petition for HBO to re-do Season 8 of Game Of Thrones www.change.org/p/hbo-remake-game-of-thrones-season-8-with-competent-writers?fbclid=IwAR29h81ohnNFYkv70kbIAl-p8shrr4Gf6eNxY8hEJPRDeLPwbRuxNRoCZS4I really hate modern social media pop culture sometimes. I really haven't liked Season 8 but it's HBO's show, Benioff and Weiss's show. They can make whatever they want. Do these million people all agree on exactly what this remake should be? What the plot is? How is it going to be funded? Are the actors going to be forced to come back? I just....despair with the internet. It makes things like this seem like a "movement" wheras it's a bunch of people who saw it on their FB and took 20 seconds to sign it and moved on to read about the death of Grumpy Cat.

The One Game. Still brilliant. I remember the filming locations from when I lived in Brum.

Castrovalva (Blu-ray) with updated special effects
Dark Shadows, ep. 361 - an episode that managed to be true to the show, yet utterly unlike any previous episode. It was still genuinely disturbing even though it's been more than 50 years since they made the episode.
{Spoiler} Almost an entire episode focused on Julia Hoffman's descent into possible madness.

Game of Thrones finale, average conclusion but this series has been a huge disappointment, rushed story arcs, weird characters motivations it just lacked heart & emotion for me.

I'm just gonna pretend it never happened. From now on, Season 8 will be referred to as "The Season That Must Not be Named"

GOT Finale
(And Now the Watch has Ended and speaking as someone who just watched the show as a show, the last Season was satisfactory rather then anything else.)
