Cas Stark Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 O/T but Terminator Genysis or however it's spelled is on cable now, I tried to watch it. It was bad. Emelia was kinda bad also, I guess the GOT glow extends to the GOT cast too since she got decent reviews. It was bad to the tune of unwatchable.

It is a wonderful thought, but the times they have a changed... The one benefit from GoT's run is that money is being pored into speculative fiction IPs for television. And in some cases, that money and the desire to have the next big thing is translated to much greater author involvement and even control of the projects. The Expanse has clearly benefited from this, and since one of the writer's worked as an assistant to GRRM it is quite the contrast to see how involved they are in various aspects of the show. Although there may be a causal relationship there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Firefly fan to be perfectly honest (my sci-fi shows were Battlestar Galactica and Farscape). I feel like the concept not that exciting and a lot of the characters seemed familiar to me from other Whedon shows. For me, it irks me that The Borgias, which began when GoT did, was cancelled after three seasons ... My comparison to Buffy/Angel is more about how they were similar to GoT in the sense that "the world was at stake" and that the plots didn't always bear the most minute examination and they had that "anyone can die - including Buffy" theme going on BUT because the characters were front and center and were remarkably consistent (eg Willow uses magic to make things better starts really early on!) the occasional plot hole didn't bug me nearly as much as they do on GoT (partly because the plot holes are far more numerous and partly because the characters are so inconsistent and two-dimensional that the plot needs to be watertight and mostly because THEY HAVE THESE BOOK THINGS with plots already there for them. Grrrr arrrrgh as the little ME monster would say ;)) and yet the Buffyverse didn't get nearly the "prestige drama pass" that GoT gets on a nearly universal basis.

I think you are right that at least GoT is helping other, better shows find a footing they might not otherwise have done (but I think it could have been the best of them all given its story and its characters. Sigh!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried watching that but never finished, fell asleep both times. Ok, it was one of the in-flight movies, and that doesn't help. But the film is bad, the dialogue is mostly bad and cheesy... I'd like to see her in something good for a change, and see how she does then. Proper script, proper director, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, cheesy, and dull that voice over went on forever, and then it was oh yeah, here we go with timeline people disappearing, so lame. I'll force myself to watch it eventually, but it looks worse than the reviews even made it out to be based on the 20+ minutes I was able to manage.

AlpenglowMemories Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlCFXpbX6eU&nohtml5=False Another one. I just feel a real aura of indifference about these clips.

I imagine it gets worse from there... Alfie said in an interview that they're running from Bolton men with dogs, and get to a river and he goes in but Sansa is afraid and doesn't. And someone here - can't remember who, sorry - said that it makes perfect sense that after all she'd gone through with Ramsay, she'd be afraid of a little creek and rather risk being recaptured by the Boltons. So true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Carol just can't stop loving her incompetent bonehead child-losing brother even when he's ... Well, a total bone head. Here she is, sharing her deepest fears and concerns about the death of her baby girl and he's all "don't think about it and about how I pretty much fucked up another one of our kids." That woman, she puts up with SO much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tijgy Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The clip with Dany just made me miss Irri, Jhiqui and Rakharo 5 minutes ago, Sir Drew said: Jamie and Cersei this time.

The problem is that I like their acting? D&D, you could have done so much with NCW and Lena Headey . To be honest, I am not really sure Larry does have any reason to break it off with Carol? She should break it off with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
