No on demand Shameless. Will have to look online...

Now watching Game of Thrones season 2 episode 2.

Warning: not for stupid people who think Walking Dead is cool.

"It's a funny thing, people worry so much about their throats they forge about what's down low. Now I just sharpened this blade before breakfast, I could shave a spiders arse if I wanted to. Or, I could nick this artery in your leg, and once it's nicked, theres no one 'round here who can un-nick it."

He is such a badass, if that's the mercenary.

Ummm, so the season finale of Misfits had a puddle of semen drippage!? That show and how it portrays bodily functions can be the most hilarious thing moments on television, thinking of the Xmas special and the birth.

Thanks for reminding me I haven't seen that yet! Will comment again after, but I agree re bodily functions, so charmingly gleeful and human in an easy-to-relate way, like the lifetime humour in fart jokes.

I think I'm beyond shit and piss jokes and then Misfits makes the perfect one and I lose it like a goof.

Yoren of the Nights Watch protecting Arya/Gendry from the Gold Cloaks heading north up the Kings Road.

Yeah, nerd.

Love it when geeky fanboys defend their geek stuff ( movies, video games etc. ) with "duh! you're too stupid to understand it" argument. Reminds me of a 16 year old me, defending Monty Phyton movies.

It's ok to be in denial. Everybody is about something.

Amen. I like the show, but fuck the character thing will bother some people, and that isn't all on the viewer. The powers that be could have made some choices to make it easier on the uninitiated (like trimming the Greyjoy clan, for example).

All joking aside guys, it really seems like a good show, production values, acting, atmosphere and from what I understand, no hobits or wizards at all, a big plus. I've never red those books so that could be a small problem, and it is probably one of those shows that requires full attention from the viewer. And it doesn't help that I missed like, 30 minutes of the first episode and 20 of the second one when it first aired.
Now that I got the whole first season at home I'll give it another chance when I find some time.

Ralphie from The League is my favourite comedy character since Barney Stinson.

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Sun Dec 23, 2012 4:22 pm

I don't know a thing about Barnie, except that he's from a show I don't like. But Raphie is amazing.

It's a number game.

Azrael · **Posted:** Sun Dec 23, 2012 10:13 pm

he's just hilarious, and also apparently not named Ralphie. and that Jenny chick is gorgeous, and funny, which makes her extra-hot.

yeah HIMYM isn't very popular in this forum, it's a shame. the latest season isn't as good as the others but overall it's a fine show imo.

Try Wilfred, it's got Frodo as a pothead who speeks to an overgrown Australian dog. Sounds stupid, but its birlliant. Very well written.

It's kinda great. And the Australian version blows.

IT IS great, I also recommend it.
Don't know about Australian version though, never seen it.

drugs inc is a cool Nat geo show.

The third season of Downton Abbey was unexpectedly dark. Still my favorite TV show but I thought only George RR Martin was infamous for unashamedly killing off main characters...

Kelsey Grammer's character in "Boss" was the personification of Machiavelli. A brilliant series, but I eventually lost all empathy for his character. Kinda glad it was cancelled.

Oh, it's ridiculous, isn't it? One-in, one out...
