I take it back, that medieval beard is much more domesticated, but he's the king.

A lot of people view season 2 as the least interesting of all of the seasons, but I think it's a really important part of the story — one, it sets up the idea that the story of The Wire is really more about the city of Baltimore than it is any specific gang or police. Two, it sets up the idea that it's not just young black drug dealers who are behind the crime and corruption. It's got a chain of command that works all the way up to an international drug smuggling.

Fantasy's not my thing either. LOTR was just nonetheless brilliant enough to really grab me. I'm on to the last episode of Season2 of the wire- gonna fire that up shortly, I think. Pretty sure Sobotka's about to get smoked by the Greeks...

LOTR isn't fantasy, its awesome. Take it from me, who hasn't seen any Star Trek or the old Star Wars movies. |

Fantasy has never been my thing. I grew up on murder mysteries and horror, and my reading for fun has sort of stayed in those areas.

I've never gotten into Newsroom — I've also never given it a shot. I don't really like Aaron Sorkin, and I really just get bored with the tired jerking about journalism. Some of my friends like it, I just haven't tried. I did, however, start watching Game of Thrones about a month ago, and I'm on the very last episode of season 2 now. It's really compelling stuff. I didn't think I'd find myself really enjoying it much, as that kind of setting and story isn't my thing (I've still never watched or read any Lord of the Rings), but I'll be damned if it's not really, really good. Granted, this is me just having watched the TV show — I know nothing of the books, but two of my close friends are really into them, and say I need to read them. When I get a chance, I will, whenever that may be. I think it comes down to Game of Thrones being, at its peak, a political drama. It's not -really- a fantasy story. It's a story of politics and really in-depth characters that just happens to be set in a land with castles and such. And that is something I really like — it's what makes good TV different from just OK TV. The Wire was about deep characters without pure good and evil. Game of Thrones is really the same thing. Even someone like Joffrey — you're supposed to hate Joffrey, but then you sort of go into the fact that he's a young teen who has been put into the most powerful position in the world, he's discovers he's the product of incest, he's been controlled and manipulated by his family since he was a child, and he was "raised" by a distant and drunken "father." No wonder he acts the way he does as king, how was he ever supposed to know to act any different? |

I haven't seen the last 3-4 episodes of Boardwalk. It was getting kind of dry and boring to be honest. I am watching Walking Dead, can't wait for Justified to come back on. For those that have never seen Justified it too is not your typical "cop" show. It's about a US Marshall that has to move back to Kentucky where he's from. Great show.
Edit: BTW, The Walking Dead has been EXCELLENT so far! I think it's by far my favorite season, I hope the rest of the episodes are as good or better than the first few! Edited by Apu - 01 November 2012 at 3:46pm |

Got done with Hell of Wheels.
Currently watching Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, and The Walking Dead. Doing more reading lately. |

WHALE, Are you into any other HBO shows? Surely I would imagine you watch the Newsroom? Ever watched Game of Thrones? Game of Thrones is probably my favorite show of all time right now, but i'm biased because A Song of Ice and Fire is my favorite fiction series of all time. EXCELLENT show man!

Since the forum does seem to contain a good many people with actual taste, I'll give it a try. For new shows, I'm getting really into Last Resort, it's decent for network TV.

Season 2 seemed the slowest of all the seasons. Still the best series ever though.
