This was a double post of the previous post. Oh well, can't delete them.

The Eudoxia coin is in the mail at the moment. I have a couple more with that order. Don't want to post about them too early.

I also have a order in limbo since Rudi passed away. Not sure what's going to happen with those coins.

 

=> the wife and I recently re-watched Season Three, so now we're all caught-up again and ready for Season Four's Episode One => "tonight"!!

 

I wonder what character is going to get axed next. lol

I recently had a marathon and watched all of them starting from season 1. I'm ready for tonight as well!!

 

I have only watched season one and did not like it. It was like watching one of my wife's soap operas. Years ago I read the first three books and didn't like them for the same reason. I just finished watching Spartacus from season 1 through to the end and felt completely let down. Not only was the sexual nature over the top, the writers didn't even try to be historically accurate. I guess it takes all kinds.

 

I read the GOT series and found it moderately engaging. Not knowing that the series was incomplete, I was unhappy upon realizing this towards the end of book 5. There is no way I'll remember the plot lines by the time book 6 is published.

 

Bing, please tell me which soaps your wife watches (thanks man)

 

Hey, does anybody out there watch "Vikings"? (I have seen the ads for it, but I haven't gotten around to watching Season One, yet)

 

I only watched one episode, but it came across like a very poor man's GoT.

 

Here's where Z and I respectfully disagree. Where I do not like Game of Thrones for the reasons already mentioned, I love Vikings. I find it engaging and many times more historically accurate than Spartacus. Do yourself a favor though, watch all of season 1 before watching season 2. Without it, you will not know the characters. I have been recording Season 2 so I haven't watched it yet, but I am so looking forward to it now that I've finished Spartacus.

 

Try watching more than one episode. You may change your mind.

 

I have yet to see either show. My cousin keeps telling me to watch them, as with Doctor Who, and I refuse too. I know I would get into them. I have alot I watch now as it is *though several are on their last year*, I dont wanna invest more time to tv.

I miss the days of Hercules & Xena. Loved those shows.

 

GoT definitely is sort of soap opera-ish. I still like it quite a bit for a lot of reasons. No TV show is perfect.

As far as Spartacus is concerned. There was a lot of things that bugged me about the series. I liked the first season the best and then it kind of went downhill from there.

I have yet to watch Vikings because believe it or not, I found out about it yesterday. I'm planning on watching it soon.

 

I liked Hercules quite a bit, but Xena, not so much. Some shows were good to me.

 

I watch almost no TV, but I do watch movies via Netflix. I can recommend Vikings, but perhaps it's just a genre I like. Whereas in GoT there is magic and goofiness IMHO, a genre I have never liked.
