So just a rant, nothing to do w you guys. Anyway, I slipped and am no longer Master of my Own Domain, watched HOTD to e3 (but that's it, I mean it this time! LOL). Anyway, I wanted something cleared up after that last episode and searched online, and this article said "spoilers up to e3" so I thought, cool, I'm up to date, and he'll address the thing I need clarity on, he's extra careful to provide spoiler warnings, it's all good. I read on, get the info I wanted and then the guy suddenly writes "oh, btw, so according to the book, this happens to this person, so that person does this, etc etc etc" so I was like WTH?????? Why say there are only spoilers up to e3 and then divulge all that crucial stuff that happened in the books, basically telling the whole freaking story which obviously wasn't covered yet by the series??? What an idiot, I wish that I could write him and give him a piece of my mind. IDIOT!

I didn't realize Season 5 of The Grand Tour released on Amazon recently. Huge fan of the OE Top Gear and The GT. Anyway, epic episode. Awesome scenery, funny and super entertaining.

We binged all of Season 2 of "Only Murders in the Building" yesterday. I think it might have been even better the than the first season.

Looking forward to Season 3 as they gave us a little glimpse in the finale.

I don't have Netflix. But I know Evan Peters, the guy who plays Dahmer. He was in several seasons of American Horror Story. Good actor. I've currently been rewatching from the beginning.

I'll eventually be watching Dahmer myself, I also enjoyed Evan Peters in AHS, he truly knows how to play a killer/evil character well. Hopefully unlike most Ryan Murphy productions the show doesn't lose itself or become overstuffed towards the end.

Season 2 remains peak AHS, the most well crafted stories of all the seasons and excellent characters, casting, and scares. I thought we were finally gonna get a great season again when season 10 (Double Feature) first started, but they botched the finale of the first half in typical AHS fashion.

Seasons 1-5 (especially with Jessica Lange in the first four) will always remain the best.

Finally caught up on HOTD today, apparently the next episode will mark one of the last time jumps as we start approaching the Dance of the Dragons. Very interesting to see how things have changed with the ten year jump, and Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke as older Rhaenyra and Alicent are already excellent in their roles, Alicent will be an interesting character to watch, especially based on next week's promo.

I have to be honest, with the time jumps and replacement actors and the over all story line my wife and I are losing interest. I don't think it stands up to the original by any stretch. I'll give it a few more episodes before we bail, I hope it gets better.

The jumps will stop at episode 8. The reason is not much happens in the source material until it is time for Rhaenyra to take succession and the Targaryen civil war (Dance of the Dragons) happens. The show runners have said after episode 8, the series will continue at a normal pace. Before that, the show is to essentially act as a prologue.

I know you mean well and are just carrying on w the conversation but maybe put a "spoiler" tag for ppl who haven't read the books. Yes, I know that the King is looking more and more like that thing from Tales from the Crypt but still...

Tonight's HOTD was excellent and very intense, setting up the final steps for the commencement of the Dance of the Dragons. And that final twist! Did not see that coming, especially since it is the opposite of the book. Next week looks to be the final time jump of the series as the kids will be aged up. Only three more episodes of the season left!
