Tibeerius posted:Season 6 was awesome! Pork Jesus and the Voltaggios (and many other great chefs) forgoing all the usual whiny reality show bullshit, and just making plate after plate of kickass food. Oh don't get me wrong, Season 6 ruled, but it's behind Season 4 and my personal favorite, All-Stars. All-Stars had the best collection of chefs and personalities, simply owing to the fact that they had 7 seasons of people to choose from. Most entertaining by far.

Fooz posted:While were talking about game of thrones, the woman who plays tyrion's prostitute girlfriend is the worst actress in the world. I don't think there's an actress alive who could make that character interesting. She's such a nonentity in the books. I mean, she appears in a bunch of scenes, and speaks, but until the events I suspect will be depicted this season, she has no agency.

Joramun posted:If anything, GoT is GRRM's product to an even larger extent than Buffy is Whedon's (since the plots of most episodes of the latter and even seasons were created, plotted and written by staff writers while Whedon guided and oversaw the bigger picture). BtVS was an original production and very much the product of an ensemble writing staff while GoT is a largely direct adaptation of GRRM's work. He made up all the characters except for like three, what they say and do, the locales and what they look like, the fictional cultures and architectures and languages and dress styles, the plots and character motivations and storyline arcs and narrative twists and turns, everything. Yeah, I agree, and seeing the missteps they've had with their own original material makes me wonder if the show will suffer when they'll have to rely so much more on their own original ideas/material after this next season.

Also, to the people who poo poo on GoT in general, if you don't enjoy watching the antagonistic relationship between Tyrion and his sister then you're probably a boring person.

You're like the old reverend who bans dancing from his town, preaching about the gateway it unlocks, and stopping the kids from having their prom. But no matter how hard you suppress, in the darkest parts of your soul you know it persists... even as just some shadow of a afterthought long forgotten. You know if you were to give in... just once, for the briefest moment... that's all it would take. And it shakes you to the core.

There's been no justice since Space: Above and Beyond was cancelled. The worst show is NCIS. The best show is phineas and ferb. I will plead "Just following orders" before the tribunal.

It's because kids don't really care about GOT, and kids have to be protected. E: I'm gonna laugh when GRRM dies before finishing his books and the last few are picked up by a group of writers and editors who do a better job but nerds hate it.

A few parts of the season after next might still be good. For instance, that's when they'll likely introduce the best character in the series (Victarion).

I loved Kevin J. Anderson's Battletech novels when I was a kid. Absolutely enthralled me. When I became aware of the hatred for him on the internet I couldn't understand it. Then I tried to re-read my favourite of those Battletech books. GRRM is many things, but worse than Anderson he most certainly is not.

I sincerely doubt GRRM will finish the books. I get the feeling he's sick to death of writing them and just wants to watch how they turn out on HBO.

The 4th book is way too boring and meandering to fill two seasons. It won't even fill one. The 5th book could, but they've already started cribbing from that for season 3 (Theon/Ramsay's storyline).
