Is anyone watching this season? Have they gotten to the print shop yet? How well is the aging being handled?

[Avatar]

The GF is watching it.

She arrived a the print shop in this most recent episode. (I happened to catch the end of it.)

They don't really look like they have aged at all.

(I'm re-reading the books. )

I'm watching it. I think they've done the aging thing well. The story is less compelling this season. Though things might be just about to start picking up. I haven't read the books and just hope Claire's not going to get decaputated in the West Indies.

Read the books. They're so much better. (I'm on the most recent one as we speak in fact...a good 10 years+ past where the series is now. )

--A

[Skyweir]

You know ... I will.

[Menolly]

I so need to do a reread of the series...

[Avatar]

Nearly finished mine...

[Skyweir]

You're a machine Av!! I only know one other person who reads the volume of books you do! I truly am in awe of your ability! I'm a painfully slow reader, but am a dog with a bone .. I don't like to mix it up like you do. But there are times you can't get a particular book of a given series .. well in those cases you have no choice. But I don't like it lol ..

But kudos Av - it is amazing phenomena to me lol .. one I'd like to share .. (But alas .. not in this lifetime).

I can't take any credit really. I didn't set out to read that way, it just happens. It has it's drawbacks though...

--A

[Skyweir]

Mmmm... wonders what the drawbacks could possibly be? You burn water? (reading so intently that you forget about that egg you put on to boil?

Miss bus/train stops concentrating on what you're reading not when your stop comes along?

Constantly needing to defray? LOL

[Menolly]

So, apparently the season 3 finale aired yesterday. How was the season overall? I can't wait to see it.

[Avatar]

Dunno, didn't watch much of it. Was the Jamaica storyline---they left a lot out.

Mmmm... wonders what the drawbacks could possibly be?

Well, I might wait several years for the next book to be released, only to finish it in a day or two. All the build-up, then several more years for the next book. If there even is one...

Also I have to do a lot of re-reading...I can't buy enough books, or they can't write them fast enough, to keep me in my favourite genre's etc. I don't have a "to be read" pile, I have a "read again" pile. I just cycle through most of my books every few years.

[Menolly]

My season 3 dvds are out for delivery.
Huzzah!

[Skyweir]

Whooooot whoot .. thats awesome Menolly .. I am totally loving the series .. not sure when the next season is coming out .. but binge watching yahooo!!

[Fist and Faith]

Just finished Season 1. Jesus Fucking Christ.

[Menolly]

Shouldn't that be Jes-s H. Roosevelt Chr-st?

I'm currently about halfway through season 3, finally. Talk about cliff hangers at the end of each episode!

[Avatar]

Uh, it's not like you don't know what's going to happen Menolly. (Season 4 is out now apparently.)

--A

[Fist and Faith]

Well *I* didn't know. Damn

[Fist and Faith]

Shouldn't that be Jes-s H. Roosevelt Chr-st

Right?

[Menolly]

Uh, it's not like you don't know what's going to happen Menolly.

Truth. But the places chosen to end each episode just get ya.
And neither SD nor Dam-sel have read the books, so I need to clamp my mouth shut at each cliffhanger.

(Season 4 is out now apparently.)

ayeup. But I don't have Starz. I have another source for the shows, but I don't get them until after each season is shown. So, it will be awhile before I see season 4.
