The off topic thread 5.0

If you say so.

I have no idea why disliking Serena Williams has anything to do with The Little Mermaid.

Also people always jump to colour. I dont like Serena Williams, it has nothing to do with the colour of her skin. Everybody else said that. That's the problem with today's society I guess.

Ok?

Use spoilers if you guys gonna chat about it. Im waiting for it all to drop so I can binge. I hope it's good.

For a show like this I really don't think that's the way to go. The discussion around each episode and the speculation is half the fun. Binging it just feels like such a waste. Each ep has been great in its own ways.

Anyway, speaking of House of the Dragon earlier, have people been watching? Thoughts so far?

Hasn't been great but also hasn't been terrible. Been pretty good I guess, they haven't ruined it yet.

Found the last episode a little gross haha

I'm going to watch the funeral for the ending when fireworks go off and Liz gets out of the coffin

When's Charlie heading down to OZ for his inaugural tour?

It's different people to GOT so I have a bit more faith.

Yeah I read that the actress was 17 when that was filmed (assuming we're talking about the same scene) which is pretty crazy.

Not really mate, it's just a message board, talking football with a bunch of strangers.

You remind me of those reality TV people who complain they got a "bad edit" when they have said/done things to paint them in a bad light.

People wouldn't continually pick apart your posts if you didn't give them reason to. Food for thought for the future for you.

Yeah we've all had this discussion on BF before. Some people like to watch one ep at a time, others like a binge. I'm a binge guy. **** waiting a whole week for another episode.

Guess I'm saying it's a show specific thing not a person specific thing but fair enough.

Nothing you say gives me food for thought. So I guess there's that.

Every show is set up that way though, cliffhanger, watch the next episode to find out what happens. That's normal.

That's not what this show is but you haven't seen it so I'm not sure why you're explaining to me how it's set up.

Can tell I'm immersed in it when my first thought was 'eww' despite the actor/actress obviously not being related haha.

Oh yeah that scene too, haha yeah I guess I was expecting it. The age gap for them too was just as gross.

I do find that ironic haha. Can't wait a week for an episode but will happily wait 10 weeks for all of them.

And in the meantime run the risk of seeing spoilers on social media lol.

Plenty of stuff to watch in the mean time until it's all out.

Which you could watch during the week's wait between eps.

 

[Sphynx]

It’s been OK.

2 good episodes, a fairly terrible one and I thought last episode was the best of the season so far.

I don’t like how they are pacing it tbh.

Writing has been below average so far imo

I've become full on expert at avoiding such things. I do it for all shows that I wanna watch but decide to release weekly. Havent been stung yet.

I love that you ignored my post where you tried to Jodsplain to me on how House of the Dragon is paced. So good at dodging spoilers!

**** off mate, dont ruin everything

Oh sometimes I get over SM'd where I can only deal with you in small doses. Sorry mate.

Please explain to me without spoilers, how House of the Dragon is purposely shot and edited so that you only want to watch the show one episode at a time and then wait a week to watch another episode.
