Hey lads, am in Melbourne from Thursday to Monday and was looking at checking out places a bit further out like Ballarat and Geelong, 12 apostles etc. Is it safe to drive at the moment with the rain?

Yup. Underwhelming finish.

Yeh was pretty obvious from the 3rd ep in I thought. Me and the GF both picked it.

This last batch of rain overnight has only really hit the eastern suburbs.

Geelong should be fine, as should Ballarat. Though, more rain is expected this week/end.

Try Wilsons Promintory, really nice down there. Should be ok with flooding but double check online before you travel just to be sure if you go.

Aside from cheesy chips (which are disgusting), only northerners eat that shit.

Chips and Mayo is good, that's a Belgian thing.

jod23 what did you think of House of the Dragon? It's been finished for two weeks now so I assume you've binged through it?

 

[bok_party]

Was in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago. Decided to hire a car and drive the Great Ocean Road. What an amazing drive that is.

I just started it a little while ago. Im up to Episode 8.

It's erm interesting. I'll give my full thoughts when I finish up the season in the next couple of days.

Nice, nice, I'm sure all positive. What a cracking show. Sounds like you've taken your time with the eps just as intended which will have helped you digest and enjoy each episode.

I wasnt expecting....

Spoiler

the crazy year jumps from episode to episode which has really given it a different feel to GoT because of the all the characters you have to learn and then they change actors as well so it can be confusing. There isnt as much character development in HoD as there was GoT. So it's been tough to get around the massive jumps in time.

Pretty sure I mentioned that specifically as to why watching it week to week was better so as to digest the story and narrative of that individual episode since they were more self-contained than GOT was. I think there's substantial character development, it's just much harder to appreciate it when binging and not taking it in at a slower pace.

It's why I'm not sure whether Andor will work better as a binge or week to week. There's something to be said for the 'water cooler' debriefs assisting in fleshing out an understanding for an unfolding story.

I dont think it has anything to do with binging or watching one a week. It's just quite jarring either way. Not sure what to think but I've just gotten to...

Spoiler

The King finally dying so now I'm guessing there is gonna be some fighting for who takes over the Iron Throne.
