A Game of Thrones - Moree HBO awesomeness

[Martin]

Rome was waaaaaaaaay better than The Borgias.

Lucius Vorenus FTW.

[Captain Russ]

I was referring to the collapse of the program due to budget vs. viewership.

(The 13th still lives.)

[Martin]

A'aight. But AT LEAST they managed to conclude the story. Hastly, but correctly.

[Martin]

And the Titus Pullo gladiator fight whith Vorenus watching is one of those HOLY SHIT TV moment, like the BSG atmospheric drop.

13!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Captain Russ]

The arena sequence alone was worth the truncated end.

I was a good series, but no way NEAR the level of GoT.

They renewed it only because they invested so much in it already.

Wasn't saying Borgias was the same level - I agree there's far more interesting stuff going down in GoT. I was only saying as a small episode season that The Borgias worked better than it would have as a much longer season, and had a lot less filler by being only 6 episodes.

Didn't catch Rome (I suck, I know), but I'll take your word for it that it dusts Borgias.

[Captain Russ]

Didn't catch Rome

Instead of sad, this makes me rather envious.

Think of the awesome shit you have awaiting you!

[Timothy225]

Rome's definitely been on my radar for quite awhile now. Just a matter of finding the time to sit and watch the whole thing. Maybe after GoT wraps up for the season, I'll move on to that, as Fox's Animation Domination ain't gonna cut it for my Sunday nights.

Re: last night's episode...



I HATE that kid! Well, the actor playing him is aces, but Joffrey's such a prick.

[Captain Russ]

Yeah.

He's maniacally evil.

He'll get his shit slapped soon enough.

[Timothy225]

I'm just loving the hell out of all the performances in this series. All of the kids deliver in spades, and I'm planning on diving into the books as a result, just to see what got cut and to delve into Martin's world as much as I can.

[Matt]

How much is left of this season? How many episodes? I want to marathon 'em when it's all said and done.
