People lost their patience with Shield far too quickly I thought. It kept improving exponentially as soon as it shown it can significantly tie itself to the films, I thought. And the season 2 Finale was brilliant! It took so long but I finally warmed up to Skye's father. He is the most ridiculous thing in the show by far :lol:

Arrow and The Flash both had good season finales too. Not quite as good, but Arrow left loads of questions that were quickly answered with the announcement of ANOTHER DC SHOW :

More Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz is a good thing.



Daredevil is the best tv thing I have seen all year. I actually nearly liked it more than Age of Ultron.

Apparently The CW have been eyeing Constantine, now that is has been dropped. I guess they'd interwork it into their 'Arrowverse'.

Also, the trailer for Supergirl is... something. Looks like a romcom where the lead has super powers... >_>

Welp. Iwan Rheon certainly didn't win himself any fans after the latest GoT. :o

I read somewhere that everyone involved in that scene felt really horrible about doing it. Iwan Rheon manages to play creepy exceptionally well though i'm sure he's a nice bloke in real life.

He was creepy as fuck in Misfits for most of it as well.

Fair play to him, he's found a great niche.

That scene was pretty fucked.

Don't worry guys, it didn't happen in the books. :lol: well, not with the actual Sansa anyway.

Comes to something when the only memorable thing that happens in a GOT episode is a spot of surprise sex.

This series can't finish soon enough for me.

Not true. Tyrion talked about his cock as well.

Ooh, I loved the second half of GpT last night. I am a bit bored with Arya's mystical 'no-one' business but the stuff with Marjorie and Cersei is golden and Ramsey is definitely the new hate figure now that Joffrey's gone. Good stuff.

Best episode of the series so far, if only because of the lack of the amazingly boring wall stuff (and the return of Diana Rigg). After last season, this year is a massive let down, I really hope Tyrion's not still walking to Mereen, Sansa actually does something, and all the Braavos shit actually goes somewhere by the end of the series.

The lack of Daenerys was fabulous as well. Nice to see they're getting into the Cersei/margaery story too! Probably gonna be the most interesting scenes, unless they decide to make more shit up!

Yeah, her story has been so stalled for a long time. The best part of two series since she's taken Mereen, and its all just going around in circles, with absolutely nothing achieved.

*THAT* scene is apparently going to be happening which I reckon means it'll stick to the books reasonably faithfully.

The Cersei catfight scenes are fab. That's actually the most interesting sub-plot this season for me.

I see the social justice warriors are making the rounds on the internet with regards to the last scene in the last episode. Lol. :lol:
