The Final Countdown Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 There is a stream I watched of him at the Authors@Google channel. He said that he wouldn't change anything about the books, that it was the HBO guys who changed the ages...I'm not sure about him changing stuff if he could... I"ll find the stream if you'd like. I think I saw that, actually, so no need. I guess I should have said that it's something he regrets in retrospect. There was supposed to be a five-year timeline gap after A Storm of Swords, in large part to allow the kids (and the dragons) to age and grow. That plan got scrapped, so the kids are now going to be younger than originally planned for the conclusion of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the show is going as well. I was shocked to hear he writes one episode a season for them too. I thought that was kinda cool.

I was shocked to hear he writes one episode a season for them too. I thought that was kinda cool. I just hope the remaining books do hit. At the pace he's gone for the last couple, he may never finish. Yep, I like that he gets to write one episode per season (though I'm glad it's not any more than that; he doesn't need any additional distractions ) Most authors probably wouldn't in his position, but he used to be a TV writer, so he understands the process. The episode he wrote for season 2 ("Blackwater") is my favorite in the series so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The episode he wrote for season 2 ("Blackwater") is my favorite in the series so far. That was mine as well. I like that it was addressed about some of the changes. I was concerned about the changes they made, but after they talked about the Television budget I understood why some things were cut out. I know that he is going to try to get them out so he doesn't keep up the show. I'm so excited for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Peck Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I liked the premier of The Newsroom, but I fear it will go the way of Studio 60, too smart for it's own good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansLanda11 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sadly when it comes to Big Brother, Survivor, TAR, and the Apprentice I do know what I am talking about. I also have no life so that tends to help. I'm guessing you'll be watching Big Brother 14 tonight. I'm pretty excited about the returning house guests. After you watch it let me know who your early favourite to win is. I think it's going to be a guy this year but it's hard to say this early.

I went in to see what was going on, on Big Brother and all I saw was a black screen. I rewound the tape and CBS went black right after the players entered the house.

BHK1978 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I hate TV in the summer. All we right now is Breaking Bad. Can't wait for this Fall. Dexter/Sons of Anarchy/Walking Dead... mix in some HIMYM, and it's going to make for a pleasant tv season. I wish I had Showtime so I could see the new season of Dexter. Especially now that Yvonne Strahovski is going to be on it. Really looking forward to the third season of the Walking Dead. The trailer looks interesting. I know you said you are a big Sci Fi fan, so do you watch Falling Skies? Such a great show it seems to be getting better each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'm on season three of Sons of Anarchy now and I can't get over this... There is seriously something wrong with Ally Walker's(Agent Stahl) face. I don't know if she had botched plastic surgery or what, but something is not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not only watch Falling Skies, but I also watch 2nd Watch every week on the TNT website. Skies is one of my favorite shows right now.

dvdWarrior Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Lately, I've been enjoying Through The Wormhole (on the SCIENCE channel). Like I've said before, I loves me some documentary-type stuff. On the classic side of things, I've found myself watching lots of Who's The Boss lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steesh07 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Got series one of Misfits on DVD, really lost its way in the second series. However it had got a lot better in series 3 with Joseph Gilgun, was an excellent addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it had got a lot better in series 3 with Joseph Gilgun, was an excellent addition. Hmm... I actually felt just the opposite. I really liked the first 2 seasons, and thought Nathan was one of the most entertaining characters. To me, Rudy seemed like he was trying to hard to be another Nathan, and I thought that the third series was the worst of the bunch so far. Either way, still a really entertaining show, I'll keep on watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't figure out wth pick&mix was though, and when i searched it it was pot seeds i was like wowww. then the episode where hes arrested popped up and i laughed my butt off Heh. Pick 'n' Mix is a method of selling confectionery, where you take a paper bag and fill it with a variety of small candies which you scoop out of tubs. They are then weighed on scales and priced by the shopkeeper according to the weight. The term has since been adapted to anything else where you use the same system, which lately has included cannabis seeds. Which is why that particular joke is so funny. The more delinquent viewers immediately assumed it was cannabis seeds he was arrested for stealing, when in fact it was just confectionary, with a 'street value' of about £2.

brashleyholland Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 However a 10p mix up costs 20p now. Genuinely saw a sign in a shop recently that said '10p mix up - 25p'. 'Penny sweets - 2p' always crops up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brashleyholland Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sons of Anarchy is back....wow, what an episode. Loving where they're taking some of the regular characters - can't wait to see how it pans out. What stood out though was, for me, one of the most harrowing scene's I've ever seen in a TV show. If you've seen it, you know exactly what I'm taking about...if you've not - go see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've seen it, you know exactly what I'm taking about...if you've not - go see it! Well if you are talking about what happened to Tig, I thought scene was great from a story standpoint but his reaction was just poor. I am not sure why, but his crying sounded fake (Which it was because he was acting.) and his acting just didn't seem to convey the anguish he should feel having something like that happen to him.
