I would call type 1, a remake Type 3, a reboot Type 4, a revival Type 2, a waste of time

I'm picking NCIS LA back up after stopping watching for a few seasons. Did they ever mention why - back in Season 2 when Deeks was shot - he didn't have his mother as his next of kin? I know it's likely that they just probably hadn't decided to have Deeks's mom around back in Season 2, but did they explain it later on when she did appear on the show? (I'm just happy that they didn't include her back then, because otherwise we'd never have gotten one of my favourite scenes on the show when Deeks asks Hetty who he should put down as his next of kin and she tells him "Lange, Henrietta")

An article in the media thread said that they were each going to miss 4 episodes. That could mean up to 16 episodes where at least one of the four is missing. (although we've already had one ep where both Deeks and Kensi were absent). I feel like this doesn't bode well for the show. I remember following a number of shows where in what turned out to be their final seasons, they were (presumably) economising by not having every main cast member appear in every show. Granted, those shows only went to 6 or 7 seasons, but I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

I was so pissed off at the end of the first book in the Clifton Chronicles when I realised that it was part of a series, I ended up throwing it at the wall. I then resolved not to read any more in the series until it was complete. Which I did, and end up binge reading them over the course of a few weeks.

The show did air on Sky TV and it looks like they aired it in full. I watched the main segment on the Last Week Tonight youtube channel first just in case there was any cuts, but when I fast forwarded through the episode on my DVR, it looked like everything was there.

I sooo want SNL to bring back Bowen Yang's iceberg character and run with this!

It's a lot easier to tell who the biological offspring of a monarch is, when that monarch has a uterus to pop them out of. People may doubt who fathered Rhyneara's kids, but there's no doubt that they are *her* children. Whereas short of locking his partner away from any other male contact, there's no way for Viserys - or any King - to be 100% sure of the provenance of his offspring.

Isn't the site policy that there's no need for spoiler tags if the series has already fully aired and/or streamed?

Just finished watching it. A most enjoyable way to spend a few hours!

He's already done a movie with Anthony Hopkins. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

The cemetery was just the site of the 'memorial' to the Jackpot. It wasn't necessarily a cemetery just for the victims.

Carina works at Sloan Memorial. I don’t think her survival odds are that much better than Maya’s!

I freely admit that I would be much less of a Daemon fan if he was played by anybody other than Matt Smith.

I don't see why they're so worried about 'stealing' the Protostar. They didn't steal the ship from Starfleet. They found it abandoned and used it to escape a dangerous situation. If anything, Starfleet should be more likely to reward them for returning lost property.

I loved MH as the Widow Twanky! And then there was the Hercules episodes where they played the producers and writers!

Which is a bit shitty for Irish viewers, because while BBC linear access is widely available through most TV providers, access to the i-player to stream the show is restricted to the UK.

I think they were originally developed to aid digestion. They're quite nice actually if you want something not excessively sweet. They're even nice when you get the ones with chocolate on!

The female characters that were recast, started off aged 15(ish) and ended up aged 35(ish). The male characters that didn't get recast started off 30+ at least and added on another 20 years over the course of the season. Rhaenys didn't get recast, probably because she started out (presumably) mid to late 30s and ended mid to late 50s. And pretty much all the kiddies - both male and female - got recast a few times as well. So I'd say the decision making process was just as likely to be along the lines that it's a lot easier to cast a single actor to go from 30 to 50 than it is to go from 15 to 25. But YMMV.

Well I for one was totally shocked. I'd managed to avoid spoilers and my reaction was pretty much the same as 10/14s reaction. "WHAT!!!" (okay, maybe a little louder!)

That was my read on it as well.

There are soooo many characters whose heads I want to see on pikes before this show is over.

That presumes that Serena wants to bring down Gilead. She might not feel it safe to go back there as an unmarried mother, but if she had a suitable husband in tow, i.e. a high enough ranking commander, she would return in a heartbeat.

I'm pretty sure it was less about jealousy and more about Elizabeth being angry (justifiably IMO) that Mark's daughter Rachel brought drugs into their house. Drugs that Elizabeth's baby got into while Rachel was supposed to be minding her, and nearly died from.

I do like Nicola Walker but so many of the characters she plays are so glum that it's really nice to see her play happy for once. Who would have thought that a homicide detective could be her cheeriest character!

It seems to me that Rhaenyra's biggest mistake was not taking a blonde lover. If her eldest 3 had had blonde hair, like both 'parents', it would have been a lot harder to refute their legitimacy.
