Pretty speedy binge :laughing

 

Ah it's such a good show.

 

Yeah, I am now 2 episodes into season 4.

 

I have had some really late nights, but hard to turn it off. Glad I'm a teacher, I have some free time during the summer.

 

My wife is not watching with me, surely a good choice on her part, she isn't a fan of the blood gore and violence.

 

The show is just so engaging, and the multiple storylines are great, there is always something going on someplace.

 

I can't believe how often they kill off main characters though. It exhausting.

Season 4 episode 2, big episode. One of my favorite things about that episode is how much it affects everything to come, especially in the rest of season 4 but really its effects are still felt for seasons afterwards.

I think I'm late to know, but I guess Amazon is re-tooling their version of Top Gear. Episodes are being scrapped and they're focusing exclusively on making their specials--those episodes where they drive to the north pole or through Uganda in RVs and stuff like that. I'd stopped watching the Amazon version in Season 1 because their conversation got to be way more scripted and the silly weekly challenges were boring. Specifically, I stopped watching when they went to Hollywood movie set designed to look like ancient Arabia. Not only did they just run laps for the whole show (boring) but I was supposed to believe the short guy genuinely thought they'd discovered an ancient city.

 

I just watched 15 minutes of the BBC one with the new hosts. The chemistry isn't really there, which I think is a consequence of not near as much insulting each other and consciously trying not to be exactly like the old hosts. But the show itself wasn't all that bad.

The outcome of that episode was fantastic. I was rooting for that outcome since being introduced to that character. Can't wait to see the effects on the rest of the season/series.

 

I used to make fun of all the GoT fans around me, now I get it!

I know there are a few B99 fans on BF. I’m just finishing the most recent season, but have been with the show since the beginning. Andre Braugher as Captain Raymond Holt might be the best actor / character on network TV.

We just started watching B99 a few months ago and I can't believe it took us that long to start. Great show.

 

Another one we just started is Veep and I also can't believe I didn't watch it earlier. Absolutely hilarious.

Season 1 of the Grand Tour isn't very good. Season 2 and 3 greatly improve on it and have some classic episodes. Season one is by far the weakest of the bunch. If you enjoyed old BBC Top Gear, you'll like most of Season 2 and 3 of The Grand Tour.

Yup, kind of reaction and feelings of how good this show was is what made it so great to begin. which makes the last seasons so frustrating. Seriously the show had legit argument for best show ever and this person is experiencing it now. It really was that good.

B99 and Veep, totally agree with you guys. Amazing shows. Veep was top notch through the end. Latest season of B99 maybe took a dip down but still very good and worth watching.

 

Archer: Agree this season is way better than the last two that just go so out there. Not at the original levels, but great to see them getting back to the basics a bit that made the show great to begin with

Stranger Things Season 3 was awesome. I didn’t care much for season 2 so I was not too excited for this one but I think it turned out great like the original season.

Nice! Glad I have that to look forward to yet.

 

On season 6 of GoT and the hits just keep coming! lol

 

I so missed the boat on this show all these years...

What episode are you on?

 

Season 6 is my favorite. Last two episodes of that season are probably the best television I've ever watched. Episode 9 is so well done, choreographed, filmed, tense, gut wrenching, mind blowing. When it ends you think, how could any episode ever top that?

 

And yeah, you missed out. Theories, cliffhangers, watching each new episode a couple of times to really soak everything in before the next Sunday. General talking with friends that are also watching. But you didn't miss out on waiting for long, long stretches between seasons especially towards the end.

**Stranger Things Spoiler Alert**

 

In some ways I like season 3 more, but in other ways I thought it was the worst of the 3 seasons. I just can't get past the whole Russian base under the mall thing, just came off as a James Bond spoof or something. Also, as someone who "came of age" in the 80s, they tried WAY too hard to hit us over the head with 80s clothes, products, music, etc.

 

I'm just dissapointed because they could have gone a lot of interesting ways in season 3, and the Russian thing just didn't work. Also, the whole Mind Flayer and Upside Down were always mysterious and scary. Turning it into basically just another monster chasing them around was a mistake. 1/3 Wonder Years, 1/3 Bond, 1/3 Alien = Meh.

 

Incredible ending though, literally had tears in my eyes.

I'm on episode 4 right now. Started watching today and I loved the first 2 seasons

I was pleasantly surprised by it. Of course some nitpicks, but going in I didn't expect much since it's a tough show to keep going but I think they did well overall and I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. I'd say clearly better than season 2 and then debatable with the original but I'd still pick original

Just finished episode 2 last night. Quite the finish to that episode.

 

On a side note, I don't think I would have thought I'd want anyone dead as bad as I wanted King Jeffrey dead, but Ramsey has proved me wrong! I sure hope he gets his, and I hope it is slow and painful...

Ramsey might be my favorite TV villain of all time. Thing is the actor who plays him is the nicest dude in the world. Crazy to see interviews of him.

About Stranger Things, haven't seen season 3 yet, will there be a season 4, or did they wrap things up?

 

There will be a 4th and possibly 5th. Make sure to watch the after credits in the last episode as it teases something.

Pretty much the exact thoughts of nearly everyone that's watched the show. I want to say there have even been times I missed Joffery. Almost missed him anyway.

 

Ramsay is a fun villain though, at least there's that.
