Season 5 of Game of Thrones Episode "Hardhome"
This weeks episode is a belter of a one. The threat from the North finally revealed, with the first White Walker attack shown, about 30 mins worth of epic battle and slaughter.
Best episode of the whole series so far and as good as anything in the Lord of the Rings films, infact better imho and horrible. It will take the combined armies of the entire kingdoms to stop the White Walkers and even then without suitable magic I think they are snookered.
Took awhile for me to get hooked but after last night I am in it now for the duration.

Not really a fan of Fantasy here Neil (Lord of the Rings a 4 hour film about walking), but GOT is fantastic.
Gave it a chance given it was an HBO production, watched the first episode and was hooked.
Some episodes better than others but always maintains a very high quality.
Catching up with S5 tonight

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Whilst I much prefered the casting and screenplay of the original BBC TV production, the CGI and Marvin are better in this version. Good in parts - 6/10

Hitchhikers Guide...great show.
Only found out recently that the theme tune to the original BBC TV version was written by the Eagles!

Thanks for the YouTube clip Garry - I was good to hear it again.
IMO the best version of THHGTTG was the original radio series, and that also used the 'Voyage of the Sorcerer' as the theme music.
