HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

for the movie with the ageless lady? i agree

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UzSekc0LoQ

i just can't get over how not weird it'd be for that lady to be 45 years old

wldve been better if he said 2045 years old and she was dressed in a gladiator outfit

I've never played any of these Telltale games before but I just tried out the first episode of the GoT one and it was pretty good! Some ropey animation and some silly things but the quick decisions in the big talky meetings were really great. Suitably grim.

in retrospect, yes, i think this was just for nerds

no way man everyone love this show

in 2014 it turns out everyone was nerds

not me im a cool

not me im a cool

A Murder of Boobs

is what this series should be called

I regret watching this stupid show

I should have played computer games instead, then at least I'd be better at games

this show isn't worth a "fresh take"

more like star bores, right??

wow rude

I'm sure all of our mothers think we're cool.

I think you mean "each of our mothers thinks we're cool." My mother doesn't think you're cool, although yours thinks I am cool.

Game of Snaps

Anyone catch Marco Polo on Netflix yet? Clearly going for the Game of Thrones boobs & battles formula - but it feels like it might be an OK timewaster for December based on the first couple of episodes.

The premise of the series made me uncomfortable and there's this too http://www.villagevoice.com/2014-12-10/film/marco-polo-netflix/

marco

Are you saying there were no boobs in Marco Polo's time? There most certainly were! They did research!

Yeah I don't know - it just seemed like a big dumb campy epic from the first couple of episodes.

hm

Ok so I was wrong about marco polo being maybe "an OK time waster."

Catchy.

― Brio2,

As in it's better or worse than OK?

have not watched it but he means worse

i gave up in episode 2, it's garbage

It is garbage but I still found it oddly addictive, the dude who plays Kublai Khan is impressive.

trailer (in rubbish quality)

damn

looks pretty good

promisingly battle-filled

i like the hint at a possibly larger role for varys

More screentime. Varys and Baelish have always been the main players.

... so they'd like to think!

DOLOROUS EDD IS THE KEY, oops spoilers.

Brian Brown from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has found a phorid that beheads ants in an entirely new way.

Brown is an authority on phorids and especially the ant-decapitating, bee-killing varieties. He has discovered around 500 species of them. In the field, he lures them in by crushing ants and other insects with forceps, and watching what arrives. Some phorids feed directly off the injured insects. Others lay their eggs inside. But one species, Dohrniphora longirostrata, did something different.

Orson Lannister explained.

At least Diana Rigg is back! But fucking cam tv trailers is a real fucking "help me lord!" new low wrung for me.

I had a momentary pang, but you gotta give the people their content

!

this shd be the final season, end it like deadwood everyone rides away in carriages

end it like battlestar, everyone starts farming in peace except for the one who disappears into thin air

End it like Lost, everyone holds hands in a church.

They're going to drag this out as long as possible, don't kid yourselves.

final season split into not two but three separate parts
