What are we watching on TV?

Studying Philosophy & Theology at TCD - wants to be an academic, not an actor - maybe just as well because he is just so nasty in the role I could never look on him as anyone but evil Joffrey.
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'.

Never though I'd be of an age where I'd be thinking sex in a TV programme was 'too much', but here I am :eek:.

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 :p), the next 3 episodes are sure to feature a wedding where 'nothing really happened' will not apply.
 
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 ?
 
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.
 
still watching I Claudius on BBC4. It has dealt with the emperors Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula. Claudius has now been proclaimed emperor.

any episode of Sparticus with blood and gore!

Blue Bloods back on TV3 friday nights.

Sunday Game back on again for the summer.
 
New season of Arrested Development available on Netflix, Sun 26 May.

Let's hope Tobias has come up with a better term for his professions of Analyst and Therapist ;)
 
The bank holiday weekend threw us out of routine, waiting now 'til tonight to watch it. Done my best up to now to avoid spoilers ;) !

Watched episode 9 last night. It was, eh, eventful :eek: ?

End of season next week. Pretty sure nothing will happen and everyone gets to live happily ever after.
 
Cannot wait for Game Of Thrones next week - should be a cracker. I'm going to wait til next week to watch 9 & 10 together.

I am intrigued as to how HBO plan to finish GoT given that the book series hasn't actually been finished yet. There was a 5-year gap between Books 3 & 4 and then a 6-year gap between Books 4 & 5. As yet there is no release date for Book 6 so I don't know what HBO will do when the TV series catches up to the books and there are no more books and just loads of loose-ends.

I think it was very well done too...I know the big event is usually episode 9 and 10 is the aftermath, but aren't we due another uneventful wedding soon?

Based on episode 9, if you're going to watch two back to back, give yourself some time after #10 to process and reflect.

I assume HBO have paid George Martin a lot of money to see the series through. I think he plans 2 more books. Season 3 of the TV series won't cover all of Book 3, so there's at least 3 seasons left to get to the end of Book 5.

One additional issue is how the young actors will continue to be plausible as their character's age. As it stands, the actor playing Brandon Stark is already way older than his character, and looks it too.

I can't see HBO moving from their 10 Episodes a season, so you'd have to think that given the size of some of the books, they've more than enough time to catch up to him by splitting them up.
