Alcatraz is repeated Sunday at 9pm/10pm on +1 or Monday at 10pm/11pm on +1.Brian1502 wrote:Not heard of Smash but watched pilot of Touch last night. Had been looking forward to this but not any more. Can't see how they can keep this going when far better show's have been dropped. Liked the first episode of Alcatraz but not enough to miss Suits which is on at same time. Anyone know if Alcatraz is repeated on any other nights.

Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
sometimes life suprises you. I started recording the Big Bang's reruns from the beginning on E4. And my mum loves them! Its not just that one of the characters shares my name. She thinks Sheldon is hilarious.
Anyway roll on this marvellous show, where have I been all its life?

I watched the first part of the Titanic series last night. It was ridiculously boring. Congratulations Julian Fellowes - you made the sinking of the most iconic ship ever yawn-inducing. Way to go.

Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
Titanic was just as bad as it could be. They werent even on a boat most of the time! nnngg CGI waves.
it really is a perfect cocktail of dweeb culture fun.
Has anyone seen the new Dirk Gently? I am downloading it, wondering if its worth it. The Gently novels are awesomely crazy, but Steven Mangan isnt at all how I imagined Svlad Cjelli to look like.
EDIT - hmm ok too oldie for most people here then lol.
EDIT 2 - Now have downloaded from iplayer so far - whole of Bleak House of Stuff, whole of Being Human 4, start of Doctor Who season 4, whole of Watson and Oliver, plus Bright Star and Synedoche, New York. Yeah mamma, who rules now?

Any Game Of Thrones fans here? I've a bit of an obsession with the books/TV and now Graphic novel
Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
I watched the first episode of the TV series and it seemed good but I didn't really get into it, mainly because I felt a bit overwhelmed by all the characters/felt like entering the middle of a story. I'm now reading the book and absolutely loving it so looking forward to giving the TV series another go when I'm done as I'm sure I'll love it. Great, great story! Didn't realise there was a graphic novel as well.alameals wrote:Any Game Of Thrones fans here? I've a bit of an obsession with the books/TV and now Graphic novel

Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
The first volume of the graphic novel has just come out,doesn't even cover the first book. Hope you enjoy the books,I'm currently on the 4th and they are huge. I can see what you mean about so many characters,the world created in the books is huge and it's hard to keep up with so many people but once you get past the first book everyone will become quite clear. There are plenty of maps and family tree's online if you'd like me to share the links?Some contain spoilers for future books though so when you are readyDavid wrote:I watched the first episode of the TV series and it seemed good but I didn't really get into it, mainly because I felt a bit overwhelmed by all the characters/felt like entering the middle of a story.
