For real. I can’t believe they didn’t just cut that character. I read some story about his casting that described him as a “beloved character from the books” and I would loooooooove to know who is invested in this racist-ass comic relief drunk Chinese caricature with a foot-fetish who literally just disappears into…

Exactly. When the series started, I didn’t buy Jaime as 22 or Claire at 27. The real fantasy of this series is they are both hot, capable 35 year olds living at peak sexual prowess for 40 years, able to make out or go down on each other in any scenario from forest floor to French brothel, because they are immune to…

Voyager has some bonkers plotlines and character beats and I’m interested to see how the show handles them.

As a book reader I have to say... I’m so over her. We follow Bree a lot in the books but personally I’d rather read about Fergus or Jenny. Hell I’d even prefer to read about Joe Abernathy. John Grey has a spin off series thank gods.

I skipped Poldark season 2 after one or two episodes, and sorta picked 3 again. But to be honest, while 3 is better than 2, it’s a low bar to clear... most of my time was still shouting “Ross, you twat!” and “Demelza, you can do better” at the TV. You wouldn’t be missing out on anything if you never watched it…

While that may have worked for the book, it certainly sounds like it would create a very uninteresting drama for TV. I mean, making the one guy sculpted, kind, brave, handsome, etc and his opposite the most complete asshole imaginable seems kind of comic bookish.

Bree - both the character (book as well as tv) and actress are the WOOOOORST.

Yes absolutely! Voyager was one of the best books of the series. Season 4 is based on Drums of Autumn which is another great one. You won’t regret it.

Exactly. I guess I am just getting used to her too, last night was not nearly as painfully awkward as her other episodes. She better get her shit together before next season. I am looking forward to several scenes from DoA that she is part of.

Most people don’t like Brianna much in the book either, she’s the one people always complain is one dimensional. I (wondered if this was actually a master stroke of casting since people say the same in the show ha ha.)

This show got very boring in/after France. I watched the first two episodes after their return but was extremely sleepified by them. DOES IT GET BETTER? SHOULD I GO BACK?

Little know fact, back in the 1960s and 70s, men actually had tiny turkey brains so any time they showered there was always a risk that they would look up at the showerhead and open their mouths, thereby drowning in the process. Because women were too smart to do this, it was actually imperative they every man had a…

And nothing about timing made her throw in the bullshit framing of:

Except even with that hard break looming, Kelly still squeezed in two explanations of having a hard break as well as an opposing opinion. I’m guessing she say she was relatively close to the hard break and decided to use that as an excuse to cut Brokaw off.

Am I remembering properly? One of the stories mentions the other? Something about the taste of copper pennies. I forget which way round the reference is.

I read this wayyy too young; I was 16 and it was my first Stephen King novel. I chose it because it was relatively short (for King) and sounded intriguing. Those of us who have read it will no doubt be wondering if her very real, very fucked-up visitor makes an appearance and if so, how much of the character will they…

I run a Twitter account where I live Tweet horror movies (what else am I supposed to do on a Monday night?) and I watched this one this week. It’s very well done. I’ve read the book and I actually like this more than the book. Carla was so good at playing the different parts of her psyche, plus there were some…

Some say he commissioned it to get the clergy off his back about the whole “Loras & Renly 4 eva” thing he had going on.
