The 2 dont deserve to be in the same sentence, Vikings shits all over it. Was expecting more from the last kingdom, was a let down for me @stony will be on to moan about Uhtred who is too pretty in comparison to how he described in the books apparently, he's no Ragnar thats for sure.

Yeah saw it was on netflix so thought i'd give it a go.. Thought it was going to be good at the start when his parents were slaughtered and the old viking took a kids eye out. Then Uhtred son of Uhtred whose kid is called Uhtred grew up and it became repetitive and thus boring.

Named my bearded dragon Ragnar(after Lothbrok obviously), great character.
 
Sir David and his shows are close to the BBC's only redeeming feature imo (i don't watch motd anymore) and the news needs to be 100% on the money so they are late with that to due to checking everything twelvety times. No bad thing really but it does mean as a news source it is almost obsolete for people like me who have read it all before the bbc have got of the shitter to check it out.

Planet Earth 2 is a stunning visual feast though and the makers deserve huge credit, Dave would still do it all with them, alas time waits for no man or in this case living legend. He has done more than his fair share of climbing up and down stuff though, in fact he must be one of the most well traveled humans alive considering he gets to go places no other fucker could dream of i.e. certain nature reserves etc.

I will archive best source encodes on server for this show. I say that as if 3 diff chans, they will all use the master feed different so some may be shit and some may be decent etc. Uk is usually ok like that though, mainly USA that sucks for regional differences and such.
 
Pretty sure this is the simpsons animators and writers making a nod to the fact everyone noted they nailed it regarding trump hehe.



Bonus point for anyone guessing what homer imagined when he was informed there is a place named 'the bay of pigs' lol daft fucker.

lol, either i am stoned or they are on it tonight, laughing my arse of every few seconds <3 The Simpsons

@stony you want a feed for westworld or walking dead, others on network said it is shit live with ads and prefer the captures of the broadcast (caps)

I am assuming a large disparity between cap continuity and live continuity due to said ads.

Christ my mind is whizzing to fast or totally of track because mentioning him just made me think 'what a shit cringy comedian Gervais is'. The second he got asked to just have a bash at that live aid thing i sat up sharp and said to my mates 'watch this, he will be fucking shit'. Non of them would have it he is not a 'proper' comedian. With that i mean a 'proper' comedian can hold fort doing a standup and if they ran out of jokes they really could hold fort pub style. This clown is a writer who got lucky, he may be a fine actor if he stretched his acting legs possibly but that whiny bitchy voice added to that perma **** grin is a recipe for a punch in the gob in any public place you may ever have the misfortune of laying your eyes and/or ears on the twat.
 
Paranoid is the single worst cop drama since Z Cars. The plot was dreadful, the acting even worse and the resolution was like something from s Scooby-do cartoon.. atrocious - avoid at all cost.

He wasn't too pretty he was too small and nothing like the character from the books.

Don't know what he was meant to look like but i think it was a decent shout to not have him be big... It helps portray him as an outsider, if you added size to him then he looks just like your stereotypical Viking.
What is meant to look like? Thor?

Basically yes. In the books he was about 6'4, built like a brick shithouse, long blonde hair, and a smile that could snap a hymen at a 100 yards. Chris Hemsworth as Thor is exactly what Uhtred was supposed to look like. A major point of the books is that in his soul his is a Viking. He fights for the saxons and he is a saxon by birth, but it's only because he took an oath and he is an honourable man. In his heart he is a Viking and he empathises with them and has far more in common with them than the people who's side he is on. He worships the Viking gods and hates Christianity.
He even disowns his first born son who becomes a priest
The show might make semi decent viewing, but if you've read the books, it's utter fucking garbage.
 
Quite enjoying The Exorcist, while its not on par with Westworld, it's mildly entertaining Horror fare.
While I'm on the subject of Horror, I watched Salem's Lot ( 2 parter) again for the first time in a long, long, time, holds up very well for an 80's ( 1979) made for TV movie.
I tried Goliath on Amazon, the Billy Bob Thornton, washed up lawyer, found it pretty predictable fare.
 
If you haven't watched it, on Amazon there is a series called "The Man in the High Castle" which is pretty damn good. Essentially an alternate universe where the Nazi's got the nuke first. Takes place in the 60s in the USA.
 
Got the first seasons of Deadwood and American Horror Story.

Even though I've not finished Sons of Anarchy, which I've really enjoyed.

Feckin yeah!! Watching the first episode looks like the show will be better than Top Gear now that Clarkson, May and Hammond are no longer under the constraints of the Money grabbers at the BBC....
