Note to the people at Game of Thrones: 198 plotlines is too many. Pick oh, say, 5 and follow them.

Like Sam and Gillie and their kid out on the ocean ---> when you are showing something for 3 minutes every 3 episodes - and it has nothing to do with anything - you can probably just let that go altogether.

That and about 192 other things.
 
IMO Game of Thrones is mostly unwatchable unless you're watching with someone who's read the books. I still have to ask questions to the wife every week. I know the show is ahead of the books now, but having the backstory fresh in your mind is kind of key to enjoying all the plot twists. Otherwise it quickly becomes a bunch of busy nonsense.
 
I can follow it, I just don't find it particularly good. The good stuff could be very good but there is too much filler. The current Arya thing feels like nothing but busy-work. I'm really supposed to care about the Sons of the Harpy in Mereen?

If you can go a whole season without Bran, you can go forever.

They could make a pretty good show if they would just focus on the throne and the efforts to win it. FOCUS.

As is, 6 out of 10 kinda deal.
 
Speaking of The Shining, the old black dude's name was Scatman Crothers.

He was born in 1910 and died a long time ago. His given name was Benjamin but I guess he picked up the nickname Scatman somewhere along the way.

Also, around the same era, there was a style of singing called scat singing. Ella Fitzgerald was considered one of the best scat singers.



I feel like the word scat has evolved in recent times.
 
First two episodes of Halt and Catch Fire S2 were solid. I'm back on the 8-bit train.
