It's ridiculous. I don't watch Doctor Who, but I thought it was really awesome that they showed it everywhere at the same time. Obviously, that can't be done all the time (Australians do have to sleep), but I wish there was a better system. You are amazingly cautious about Downton spoilers, Juliette, and I really appreciate it!!<br /><br />With HIMYM, it's just that I've been watching so long the idea of giving it up now is impossible.<br /><br />Orphan Black is amazing, but it is the kind of thing you have to watch in order. I'm so glad I'm not the only OITNB addict here! Can't wait for season two!sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38347601120248047402013-12-23T17:54:42.069-05:002013-12-23T17:54:42.069-05:00Thanks for the heads-up that Philip GLenister is i...Thanks for the heads-up that Philip GLenister is in Poirot's Last Case, Juliette! I adore him so will seek it out. <br /><br />Paul McGann isn't my Doctor, but he was blisteringly good in Night Of The Doctor. I wish they'd bring him back in a spinoff so we could see all the Eighth Doctor episodes we missed out on! He's had a good run in the audios, but they just aren't the same.Gavriellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43462655915218402022013-12-23T16:49:46.832-05:002013-12-23T16:49:46.832-05:00It used to be harder to resist, but now that the D...It used to be harder to resist, but now that the Doctor Who Powers That Be have decided to let the show air in the U.S. around the same, not so much.

And I also haven't seen Game of Thrones although I'm pretty sure I will like it. You just know that if everyone on the list likes a show that you should end up watching it at some point! Glad everyone is not crossing the illegally downloading line. I won't cross that line either although sometimes I feel a fool since everyone around me seems to be doing it.drnanamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667806039402426676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62080315847935990302013-12-23T16:38:14.204-05:002013-12-23T16:38:14.204-05:00Juliette I figured... and I'm really curious a...Juliette I figured... and I'm really curious as to what key scene from A Feast of Crows (or the end of book 3) they will use for episode 9 of season 4!!!

It annoys me that we here in the US have to wait until after the new year to see the <i>Downton</i> series that the rest of the world has seen already.<br /><br />The only way I would be able to review it at the same time as you most likely watched it would be for me to illegally download the episodes. Unfortunately, that is a line I won't cross.<br /><br />I hope you will read and comment on the reviews when they start going up in the next couple of weeks.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52565615990336271632013-12-23T15:35:39.805-05:002013-12-23T15:35:39.805-05:00Don't understand why the reviews for Downton a...Don't understand why the reviews for Downton are not up yet.

If they make certain alterations to the end of season 4 it might end up my fav - if not, it won't be. (Carefully spoiler free statement!).

I think <i>Game of Thrones</i> Season 4 is going to be at least as good as Season 3, if not better. Golden era, indeed! Just the other day, the hubby and I were discussing all the things coming up for S4. We spent about 10 minutes going, "And then there's this ... and don't forget this ... and, oh yeah, this!" And when we were done we realized we completely forgot about all the stuff at the Wall. SO MUCH good stuff coming up! And who knows what sorts of wonderful adaptations await!Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.com
