Hey Charger, last night I watched the Orville episode where Alara is leaving to remain on her home planet.  Maybe I have been alone too long, but I think that female alien was looking pretty hot! 

I watched the same one yesterday. Good episode! And not one but TWO Star Trek alumnae! The fantastic Robert Picardo and John Billingsley!

I was pretty shocked about Alara's leaving actually...always liked her.

Currently I am watching a documentary on the Vatican.

Very interesting as it shows Satanic symbolism.

Watching "Little Lunch" on Netflix. It's an Australian show about kids at school. It's hilarious, innocent, and not at all cloying or irritating the way Disney makes kids act.

I just got done watching the first four episodes of Cheers - still a classic and stands up today.

I don't know if there are any other fans on here, but I just watched Episode 1 Season 8 of Game of Thrones. While there was not much action in this one there was a lot of important scenes, information... and tensions build. So pumped for this series.

I'm a massive fan of the tv show. 
I'm still scared about Drogon and Rhaegal 's fate since the sad destiny of their brother Viserion. The arrival of Jaime in Wintefell is full of promises...
Agreed about these important informations. The train of consequences will be amazing .

Game Of Thrones never really grabbed me...I did try with the first few episodes when it started but the way all the characters were done to be real unlikeable assholes turned me off almost instantly.

I don't have a problem with having a really unlikeable bad guy that's actually usually great but when all the "good" guys are such as well it just doesn't work.

Honestly gotta say I never ever NEVER in a million years would have thought that show would become so big...I was sure it was a one season hit and miss.

There's a big audience for good fantasy - just look at the success of the Middle Earth trilogies - but it is horses for courses, it is not going to appeal to everyone. it is darker in tone which would alienate the unicorns/fairy princess sector!

But I would have to disagree that all the characters are unlikeable, some are likeable but have to make hard choices for the greater good.

I watched the first episodes because of the buzz preceding the tv show. I dropped everything after 3 or 4 episodes. A few months later, I did a second test that this time, triggered everything.
Best moments : Durlieu, episode 8 of Season 5 and this incredible battle between the Sauvageons and the Living dead Army is worthy of Lord of the Rings. Ditto for episode 4 of season 7 with this fantastic attack of the Dragons against the Lannister army.
I was also very touched by the last episode of Season 7. It took me several days to recover. Really.
My favorite characters: Dragons, Tyrion, Cercei Lannister, Arya, Jon Snow, Ned Stark, Jaime Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, Sandor Clegane, Petyr Baelish, Melisandre, Bronn, Sansa, Tormund, Varys, Margaery Tyrell, Tywin Lannister, Davos Seaworth and Ramsay Bolton, Jorah Mormont, Yara Greyjoy and Euron Greyjoy.
The main music theme during this wonderful animated castles opening credits.
Special mention to Ellaria Sand, Hodor, Missandei and Gray Worm.
Don't like Bran, Theon Greyjoy, Sam, Robb Stark, Viserys Targaryen, Grand Mestre Pycelle, Brienne of Tarth and The Three Eyed Raven.
Pure Hate to Joffrey Baratheon, The High Sparrow, Qyburn and Night King.

the best tv show so far .

I have also been pondering should I give it another try...

I mean I do like the subject matter, but the characters were such a turn off...

I don't know maybe some day. I have heard that after the slow first season and iffy second season things got much better indeed with the dragons and everything...

The key word here, for me, being "fantasy".  Never been much of a fan of it.  I get much more interested in series depicting real human history.  That being said, I did see the first 3 seasons of GOT, because a friend gave them to me recorded on a hard drive.  I never ask him for the rest.

I 've never seen another TV show have an audience that has grown steadily from the beginning and that over 8 seasons.
It is not a coincidence . The seasons are, one after another, better than the previous ones.
Apart from X Files, I had never seen that.

Watching "1983" on Netflix. It's a Polish alt-history series that is off to a good start. It has a slow burn feel to it, but by episode 3, I'm waist-deep in tangled webs of intrigue.
