mjmooney Posted December 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2017 Still only on ep 2 of Godless, but I spotted a wonderful John Ford homage - the famous shot at the end of 'The Searchers', looking through the ranch house door. Nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 2 episodes into Knightfall. It's History Channels new series, guess it's supposed to be "Vikings" but this time about the Templar order. So far it's a bit meh. But it's hard to say after so few episodes. It vaguely resembles the build up in Kingdom of Heaven but thankfully no Orlando Bloom. Sadly no Lagertha from Vikings either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Started the new Star Trek Discovery last night - unsure what I think after the first couple of episodes, but it seems worth persevering. Haven't actually got to USS Discovery or Jason Isaacs' captain yet, mind so very early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it watchable, I wouldn't rave about it but I don't think it's terrible viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted December 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2017 The OH wanted me to watch S2 of The Crown a few nights ago. Got to say I enjoyed it. It's basically Eastenders with rich people but I like the historical back drop all the same. One episode is Phillip basically taking a 5 month stag do on the royal yacht. Makes him out to be a bit of a lad.* *It is 2017 and it's ridiculous that monarchies still exist. I say line 'em up and put them on the dole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a republican, but it's an interesting and entertaining bit of (semi-fictionalised) history. Most of which I'm old enough to remember! As for Phil the Greek, he was a notorious shagger. My mate's Northern Irish mum told me about how he was stationed near where she lived during the war, when he was in the navy, and he went through the local women like nobody's business. She didn't say whether she was one of them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) There is a 45 minute animated movie called Conquest and Rebellion about the history of the 7 kingdoms on the extra material for the DVD release of season 7 of Game of Thrones. Not seen it yet but it might be fun for people like me who have not read the books. Edit: It's already on youtube.

sne Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Watched the pilot to Counterpart, one of the series I'm really looking forward to for next year. Looks pretty good even thou it's hard to say what direction it will go after just 1 episode. It has some plot similarities with The man in the high castle and at a stretch even The golden compass J.K Simmons is always great and the pilot was promising.

TheAuthority Posted December 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2017 Apologies if this have already been posted but Amazon has produced a series based on the short stories of Phillip K Dick. I'm just a little bit excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those books are amazing. It’s a brilliantly written trilogy, which combines some well trodden themes (creatures of the night, post apocalyptic worlds) into something fresh and unique. If they get this right, it could be one of the best TV shows ever made. I really hoped HBO would pick it up or Netflix/Amazon, because personally, I think it needs a massive budget and high quality casting. I really hope they do it justice, because it’ll be amazing if they do. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is potential to make something great there, I just hope they don't skip through the beginning as that is among the things I like best. The build up to this story is brilliant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with Mr @mjmooney , it’s ‘patchy’. There’s an element of style over substance about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Peaky Blinders Season 4 for me is the best yet. Adrien Brody has considerable presence for what is not a lot of on-screen time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
