Fantastic show. Can't wait for the new season.

Actually watching the re run of Babylon 5. Never watched it all back in the day.

I might do that. But also I might do Battlestar Galactica (the newer one) first.

S8 walking dead mid season finale.

Ive struggled with this show of late. Since S7 maybe, its been a drag. Episodes are a slog on times where in the past, at least something "wow" happened. I found series 8 the worst. This is supposed to be 'all out war' but its anything but. Guns are fired back and forth and characters that have never been seen before suddenly have a line of dialogue, then later on they die and its made out to be traumatic for the cast, its boring.
Anyway, the big ending of this series was quite a shock, but i feel I'm watching it now just out of loyalty rather than actually enjoying it.

S8 walking dead mid season finale.

Bloody American TV with that s**t, next time its on it will end up being some episodes back to back, then a break, then one more

Godless on Netflix.

Really liked it. Very slow and some storylines didn't really go anywhere but worth a watch I thought.

Sometimes the producers don't get a choice - special shows or holidays can lead to "pre-empts" where an episode is replaced. It can also be down to other factors (like the writer's strike the other year).

Still feels like they want to drag out a 6 episode series and make it a year

Put me off Walking dead

Well that and that it seemed to be going nowhere fast

Working my way through the surprisingly complex Punisher series. 6 episodes in and really enjoying it!

Brooker said he ran out of time to do a 2017 wipe. A real shame. A highlight of the year for me and with trump he would have had a field day.

let's see if i can remember everything

BILL = very funny
GONE GIRL = it was okay, not astounding
LEGO BATMAN = just as funny as .....
THE LEGO MOVIE = still glorious
MALIFICENT = perfectly fine AND different until they actually changed the bloody story, then it fell apart
INTO THE WOODS = it was fine, felt a bit too stagey and streep didn't 'old crone' it up as much as i wanted

as for the brooker type nonsense try 2017 A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF A YEAR
THE GALAXY BRITAIN BUILT
christmas university challenge / mastermind
300 years of french of saunders

Power Rangers movie from last year.

Was OK, a bit meh. Had a very uneven tone, seen worse films.
