Television, drug of the nation

now prepare for the most angsty-est nothingelsehappen-est season so far.

but you are right. fookin brutal.

Good, can't take much more of that. I only watch it for the coral memes.

need a palate cleanser after that before bed.

ep.1 of dirk gently's holistic detective agency just dropped in my purchase pile. anyone seen it yet?

With steven Mangen? Nothing like the books.

^ i think it's got harry potters in it.

Rick's snot bubble doe...

stay tuned... there's more...

Started on Black Mirror 3, on E3.
Loved the 1st 2 EPs (and serieses)

TWD I've never liked. S1 fuck all happened. S2 fuck all happened. Sacked it off. (Have been reading the comics since long before the TV series was a thing /hipster)

they saved up all the stuff going on for that one episode. seriously it was about 2 regular seasons worth.

does TWD have a gore budget? pretty sure it's done for this season.

tigers doe...

corral gets stuck on a boat at sea with a zombie tiger?

cheery stuff

I've been waiting for some proper action in the Walking Dead, I guess I got my wish..

Its funny because I'm getting to the point where I've had enough of the human-on-human violence.

The last season seemed pretty dark. I just wanted them to have some proper rest bite and start to enjoy life.

Now we know who Negan killed I'm not sure me and Mrs. H will carry on... Not sure she can hack more human inflicted torture and death.

Interesting though how Negan seems to have constructed what looks like a feudal society.

i think its a staple of zombie flicks for the endless swathes of shambling undead to merely provide a context for those still properly alive to show how unbelievably rotten humanity can be to one another despite what's going on around them.

it's just make up, actoring and claret at the end of the day.

Mr. H
Not sure she can

Something doesn't add up.

I think it's great to finally have an unpredictable threat. The last one was The Governor which was aaaages ago.

There's only so many ways they can fight off inevitable zombie hordes before it becomes dull.

Also, it's great to see them kill off some key characters again, though Coral needs to die really fucking soon too.

Wait until the whisperers come. That's a dark story arc

they're safe
they talk
it fucks up
they're on the move

The Walking Dead. I'm not sure which was more horrific, the bloody scenes in Episode 1, or that Bob Dylan cover.

Come on, Negus: a tightly fitted leather jacket and laser-cut stubble. There's no reason why being a psychopathic gang leader in a zombie apocalypse means you can't be stylish.
All Ezekiel has is a tiger, what's stylish about that?

Westworld is improving with time, I think. There's more depth, and more story arcs.

Planet Earth 2

Wow, those snakey bastards

The missus spotted this on innocent smoothies twitter feed last night:

Seemed to sum up the episode well.

I was off the sofa cheering for the one that escaped.

Spoilers!

They're awful! I didn't need to know about gangs of snakes that hunt in packs and move that quickly.

Amazing visuals all round but the music is mixed way too loud and is massively OTT.

That racer snake thing was incredible; ratcheting things up from "oh just the one? I like the baby iguana's odds here" to "fuck there's fucking loads of the fuckers coming from every fucking direction"
