I could spend hours on this website I think. I have all ready spent so much time reading stuff that I forgot or to refresh myself on certain details.

The world GRRM (and his staff I guess) created is just superb. The TV show hasn't been perfect about certain thing, time restraints being a key factor, but every key scene has been almost perfect to be honest. Unlike The Walking Dead...

I love ASIAF because the world is so expansive. It's not just about the main story GRRM is telling, there's more there. There is an expansive history that the story is built on, there are cultures that are important to the story but have huge backgrounds to go into, there's so much to it. I love it

I can't believe that Villanova pulled it off and won the NCAA championship. I followed them and Xavier very closely this year and was pulling for one of the two to go far. It's great to see a "non-traditional" type team win it. It seems like it's been a while since that's happened.

I had to stream that game online, (wont say what site) I dont get the TSN 2-5 channels and they just had to put the Womens hockey championship on the same day as the National Championship. Because of that TSN1 had to cover that instead :shakehead

My local CBS channel didnt have it on either which surprised me. Instead The Big Bang Theory was on during the last few mins of the title game.

Watching the last minute of the UNC game it kept buffering out during the late 3 by UNC and as the ball was in the air for the game winning shot.

Not impressed CBS or TSN, Not Impressed!

I finally saw the Walking Dead Season finale, and honestly it's just a damn shame the direction they went with the ending.

The build up I thought was enjoyable, I heard it was the lowest ranked episode on IMDB but as I watched it I couldn't see why. The build-up of Rick and company slowly learning just how in over their head they are, constantly running into road blocks of Saviors, that whistling scene in the woods, Neagan's reveal, the group looking scared ****-less.

All to be ruined because of a cheap marketing gimmick. Had AMC done the obvious and correct thing, people would be talking about this episode with a whole different tone, especially if it was someone like Glenn or Daryl. Aaron wouldn't have been as effective seeing as he's basically a secondary character along for the ride, but at least we'd have seen it.

This is like if Game of Thrones cut to black in the middle of the Red Wedding and said "see you next year ;)." It was just awful, how it was decided that this was the direction for them to go is baffling. They've already been pulling these cliffhanger tricks all season, did they really need to do that with what I've read as being the most Iconic moment in the Comic's history?

The episode up until that point was great I thought. I didn't even mind the Morgan and Carol story going on. It's a shame that all this episode will be remembered for is that terrible ending especially after great performances by JDM and Andrew Lincoln. **** you AMC.

I don't even watch The Walking Dead but I watched the finale with my buddy and I thought the finale was awesome, I liked the cliff hanger. Although I called that it was Rick who gets killed :laugh:

The only ways Rick gets killed are

The end of the series and he goes out saving his family, or

Andrew Lincoln leaves the show

If Lincoln wants to leave before the showrunners want to end the series, then I think it will force their hand on doing it. He is the show.

Yeah my buddy told me the same thing. Like i said, I don't watch the show but the way they set it up looked like it was from the perspective of Rick

Instead of starting up a new show I think I am just going to catch up on one that I am a season or 2 behind on.

So that would be:

Gotham
Sons of Anarchy
Suits
Walking Dead
Bates Motel (not behind but haven't started new season)

I think it's finally time I caught up on Suits, I think I ended at the end of Season 3. I believe when Mike and Harvey separate. Maybe just slightly passed that.

Anyone have a food dehydrator? I can pick up a cheapo $30 or a better $150 one, but I don't know if I'll use it as often as I think. I really only want to make apple chips but maybe I can try out new stuff if I have one. I've made them in the oven before but having the oven on for 6 hours + having to watch it seems inefficient (although I know dehydrators take 12-16 hours but you can leave them to do their thing).

Believe me, that is a great choice. The last 6 episodes of the newest season were my favourite of the show as well as pretty much any series. I watched the four episodes I was behind in a row at the time without blinking. Love that show and loved the past season.

Suits is the greatest. I agree that Harvey Spector is probably one of the best TV characters ever.

I remember the last time HF did intruding pop up ads. Everyone *****ed and they stopped for a couple months it seems like.

They're baaaaack.

Just watched punch drunk love starring Adam Sandler. I am planning on running through all Adam Sandler's movies on Netflix because aside from hockey I ain't got much happening lol. I thought it'd be some dumb comedy where he beats people up all the time but it's actually pretty good. Not really a comedy but a good film.

Adam Sandler is horrible now.

Needs to tell his buddies to F off for one movie and actually do something of substance.

Nonsense. He needs to make more. With more Kevin James, David spade, and Chris Rock. We still need grown ups 3.
I know he's horrible, grown ups 2 and ridiculous 6 are two of the worst movies I've ever seen, but I'm just going through these for fun. He does have some classic comedies lol.

The wife and I have four episodes left of Breaking Bad. The final season has been unbelievable. Am I the only person that thinks Walt is a bit of a dick?
