Love GoT but last night's episode sure had a lot of sex and sex talk in it - could have been subtitled 'the sex episode'.

Really?!
Any sex episode needs Cersei Lannister in it, so from that perspective it failed!

Nothing really happened though, I hope theyre building up for something big (havent read books).

Yeah, but the only person she would do it with is miles away. and not the man he once was .

I'm close to the end of Book 3, and Season 3 covers about half of it. There's a lot left that could happen, depending on what they choose to include this season, and leave 'til the next.

Without indulging in spoilers (unlike you ), the next 3 episodes are sure to feature a wedding where 'nothing really happened' will not apply.

Oops! Never even realised that....removed it now!

Whitechapel - I find it quite good. A bit like Criminal Minds. The one thing that's a bit odd is that they're obsessed with their archive and the answer to every modern crime seems to be buried in some dusty old file.....

Hi Grizzly

On the offchance that you might be interested, I bought an Apple TV in the Us for about €80 at Christmas. I can watch Netflix and Itunes films tv etc now on my reasonably large TV rather than my smaller laptop.

Can this device be plugged in to any TV and is it connected through a laptop?

We had a cable that we purchased locally that could do this but it recently gave up the ghost.

Hi Grizzly

I'd love to be of more help but all I can say is that I had to get a specific HDMI cable and a plug. I just brought the gadget down to my local electrical store so that they could see what I needed to buy to get it up and running.

It attaches directly to my TV via the HDMI cable. I already had an Itunes a/c and once that was entered (via a fiddly keyboard using the remote) it was easy to use.

Others may have more technical knowledge on the matter regarding the TV required.

The Itunes films download very quickly. (However, I had to upgrade my a/c with Eircom as I was going over my limit and I ended up paying extra for downloading films - I was like a child with a new toy )

My understanding is that the apple TV device connects to the TV via HDMI. It connects to your iTunes account over wifi.

I assume AVI/MP4 content on a laptop, connected to the TV via HDMI, would achieve a similar result ?

[username123]

I would assume so, but I think the "advantage" of AppleTv is that it inter-connects to all of your other Apple content sources to be playable on TV.
