She isn't it Game of Thrones. Maybe a slip up since she's in Hunger Games? Different game.

Gravdigr · 09-27-2013, 01:06 PM

Ah, too many games.

infinite monkey · 09-30-2013, 10:38 AM

Yeah, she's pretty amazing. She's that woman I look at and say "how is THAT fair?"

I have the second season of Breaking Bad, 5th season of Mad Men, season 1 and 2 of Homeland, and various movies but I haven't been able to be interested in too much these days.

i'm nearing the end of season 3 Breaking Bad.

Clodfobble · 10-02-2013, 08:03 AM

Oh damn, Dana, you are in for a treat.

You will want to get your hands on the first episode of Season 4 ASAP, that's all I'm saying.

DanaC · 10-02-2013, 08:34 AM

Oh man, it's ridiculous. I went to bed, the other night, having spent a couple of hours over at the two J's house being hard sold on a return to Breaking Bad (they're BB obsessed at the moment, as is my Bro), and figured I'd watch one episode from where I'd left off last time.

One thirty I ended up turning off my light! And even then it was an act of supreme self-control not to play the next episode.

Awesome stuff.

I have the whole of season 4 sitting on my harddrive in readiness

I just saw the last of the last of BB. No worries I won't spoil it for you. I was saying to someone at work yesterday 'WTF am I going to watch that would be even 1/4 as good'. Everyone here has been watching OITNB. Lots of lesbian sex apparently. :l. Does someone know if there's a story worth watching...?

Can I suggest trying The Walking Dead, if you haven't already?

The first couple of eps are basically a Zombie apocalypse movie, but then it turns into something altogether more interesting (not that zombie apocalypse stories aren't interesting in their own right). When you watch a zombie apocalypse movie it always ends after the initial horror. Really what is interesting is what happens next in this newly drawn world.

It becomes a character drama. It's about how groups of humans survive and rebuild.

As to Breaking Bad: I watched ep 1 of series 4 today. God it just keeps getting better.

Have you seen Deadwood?

Clodfobble · 10-02-2013, 02:17 PM

Yes, I've definitely enjoyed Orange Is The New Black. The heart-rending drama is not in one constantly ratcheting storyline like Breaking Bad, but rather the dozens of small but poignant backstories of each woman there in the prison. The side characters are at least as important as the main character, and there are episodes where she barely makes an appearance. Also, the lesbian sex stops being quite so prevalent after the first few episodes. I mean, it's still there, but only as relationship drama, less nudity.

On a side note, I also strongly recommend the show "Wilfred." Technically a drama, but wickedly funny as well.

That show paints exquisite tapestries of profanity.

I'm not really into the whole zombie thing, but one of my older sisters absolutely loves it (she's the serious one). What is Deadwood and Wilfred about?

Yeah. I was sceptical about a whole series based around a zombie apocalypse at first.

But it really isn't about zombies at all. It's a character drama. The zombies are just the background threat against which the character drama plays out. It could be anything. It could be wild beasts, or cylons, or aliens or whatever. The core of it is about human interaction and survival. What happens to people when the civilised world is ripped away.

Deadwood is about the word 'fuck'. It's far more prevalent than 'a', 'an', or 'the'.

Nah, I know the show's more than that, but it's so over-used that it turned even me off, and I'm like the world's most proliferate cusser.

That is a brilliant bit.

I'm gonna have to watch the next season of Wilfred. My women are watching Orange as well.
