Agreed. That penultimate episode entirely in the wall was the best. Link to post Share on other sites
JayX 48 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 The second they cast Andy Daly as the main dude in the wall, I knew they'd use him for something good and messed up. Like when he shows up in Veep, anyone who doesn't know him will just assume he's a random geeky office dude. Link to post Share on other sites
Dai 6 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 We've been cracking on through Game of Thrones, i don't think i made it past season 6, and Susie never did more than 1. We're getting towards the end of season 5 now, but only really get time to watch 2 episodes at a time really. Link to post Share on other sites
BlackHowl 22 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 You might end up wishing you'd stuck with having only watched up to the end of S6... Link to post Share on other sites
JayX 48 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 I honestly don't have any regrets never going past the end of Season 1. I enjoyed it for what it was, but eh. Link to post Share on other sites
BlackHowl 22 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Well it's swings and roundabouts really. You did miss out on 6 seasons of a very well written, very compelling TV show. But on the plus side you were never let down by it. Link to post Share on other sites
JayX 48 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yeah, there's just too much current/backlog stuff that I really want to watch to be really eager about one in a genre I've never really cared about. Even before the last season smackdown, I would see constant moaning from people as the show went on. Same with Walking Dead, glad I stopped watching that before everyone watching it decided it was the worst thing ever. And Sons of Anarchy. More shows like The Americans please, super consistent and ended strong. Succession, Brockmire, Last Dance in the current lineup. Link to post Share on other sites

Rae 9 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Watched The Vast of the Night yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Loved the whole radio play/Twilight Zone feel. 1950's New Mexico? Strange frequency on the radio? Sold. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah pretty much the whole state is under curfew, I didn't get the alert for some reason but others did. 9pm here, which is later than some places which were 4pm. The original protest for here was in a cuty a few minutes drive from me but the officials refused to allow it so they moved it downtown instead. The direct footage I saw was all peaceful, people singing and spirits looked good. Then it sounds like the police/SWAT turned up and provoked violence, like pretty much everywhere else. I thought I might see some collateral damage on my way to work this morning, as my route goes by a few blocks from the action, but I didn't see anything. Link to post Share on other sites

JayX 48 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Podcast episode time! Reply All - #158 - The Case of the Missing Hit I’ve had this saved in my ‘to listen to’ list for a few months and finally got around to it yesterday. Was such a great break from the grind of reality for an hour, highly recommended. Just a fun story that had me hooked. (Reply All is such a great podcast, and if you want more then I recommend listening to the two parter Long Distance which is about Indian scam tech support calls, and goes in such a wild direction.)

Dai 6 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 yes, listened to that a few months back, great story! Now that game of thrones is over, we wrapped up killing eve (not the best series but still decent) and have been watching the new series of Brassic, which is good fun and easy to watch.
