Show Spoiler:
It's an episode of deus ex machinas

100k army suprised in camp by a few guys on horses in a forest and they somehow got north of the wall and caught up with Jon Snow faster than he could travel. If these guys were worth bothering about they wouldn't have been subdued so easily.

The mountain lives.

Hound was killed because he has nothing interesting left to do. He was f%~king about in the countryside with no real idea of where to go.

Thought I saw someone here say it was decent. I'm planning to check it out when I finish my current lot.

Excellent, thanks, series 1-4 for £27 on Amazon. Think I'll dip my toes.

1st season of Penny Dreadful is almost done and I'm a fan. Although if someone doesn't turn into a werewolf in the finale I want my money back!!
Just finished season 1 of the Killing (US version), although you could guess who they'd eventually peg as the bad guy from day 1, they did a good job of making you second guess every one else too. Good like/loath-able characters too.
Will watch the new season of Ray Mercedes Donovan, it's like a Tony Scott take on Desperate housewives!
Anyone seen or heard anything positive about Banshee? It starts on monday night and has the police commissioner from the Wire (who for some reason I always confuse with Cedric the Entertainer), that's all I know.

Plenty of action in Banshee, Ive only watched season 1 but it's certainly better than most of the dross we get on these days

I only got 3 episodes into PD before I got distracted. Have the rest of them recorded though. I've been too busy discovering Orange is the New Black.

Hey if graphic violence and boobs are your thing! Guy at work was raving about it but I couldn't get over the terrible acting, especially from the lead.

I'm just about sticking with it but find the pacing of the show maddingly inconsistent and Eva Green will have to have surgery to remove all the splinters from her teeth when it's finished.
