Call me crazy but, I am re-watching it right now. I'm up to S5 E9. I'll probably skip the latter part of season 8 because it will just break my heart all over again.
House of the Dragon
Hi guys... just watched the first episode!... anyone else seen it? ... and did anyone else enjoy it just as much as I just did? ... It was a very good opening episode to 'what I believe' will be a series every bit as good as the original GOT's. The only thing is that being as it is a completely fresh start to the show, ... you can't help thinking that the show is missing the massive characters that we all loved in the predecessor! .. But then that is hardly fair, as we are just looking at it with the aid of hindsight so to speak... as the big characters such as the Lannisters [all four brilliant and vital characters] or Jon Snow , Daenerys, Arya, Littlefinger etc had to slowly reveal their importance to the show... and as such so will the prime characters in this outing become clearer as we move through the episodes.
.... don't know about you guys, but this opening episode gets a 10/10 from this viewer anyway.
Cheers .
Can't get it here while tomorrow ... so no spoilers please! ...Glad you seem to be enjoying it as much as I am [hope it dosen't fizzle out] ... anyway, ... i've been following the hype for the new LOTR prequel series and an a bit worried that it may just have succumbed to the dreaded 'p.c-woke-epidemic' that is currently blighting the western half of the planet! .... Hope i'm wrong... because i've been looking forward to this inner-child-fulfilment-event for soooo long! ... How about you old friend,.... are you looking forward to 'The Rings Of Power' too matey?Looking forward to the next episode of House of the Dragon, new episodes come out on Sunday evenings...

I wish I had your willpower old friend! ... I watched episode 4 last night [along with episode 3 of TROP] and thoroughly enjoyed both. I was originally a late-comer to the original GOT and binge-watched the first 4 or 5 series [did the same with Ozark, Breaking Bad, and others and can't even explain how much binge-watching a good series heightens the enjoyment of the show for me!] ... in fact I am now even doing it with the 18 years old remake of Battlestar Galactica... which isn't even in the same class as the aforementioned classics of T.V... but watchable enough for now as the television programming seems to be going through a bit of a hollow patch just lately... And so can totally understand your motivation for 'stockpiling' your favourite programmes. .... Shame I haven't the willpower to do the same [voluntarily... that is ] ... As to the Jon Snow series, ...I'm skipping a few episodes so I watch more than one without having to wait an entire week for the next lol...I did not see last night's episode, waiting about 3 weeks maybe 4...
...
Hey, did you hear?...There's a Jon Snow series in development!...I have not heard much more than that, I have no idea what events they are going to cover in a Jon Snow series but its got me curious lol...

I have been keeping an eye on the rumour-mills since that was proposed ages ago! ... and from what I can glean , the concept is very much favoured by some of the brass at HBO, but when they constantly keep reporting that "it is still in the very early stages"... it worries me that they are waiting for the present offering [THOTD] is an absolute success before they commit finances to the proposed Jon Snow project?! ... but as the ratings and the reviews are so far 'favourable' ... then perhaps there's reason to be optimistic about us eventually getting to see Jon Snow's men rebuilding the mighty ice wall ... with a few gruesome adventures thrown in etc. ... but I suspect that we may be a year or two older before we get the chance to see it.
Cheers Buddy.
