@Virgil well traveling to and from Auckland at least once a week was between 6 and 8 hours of listening.
Many of his character voices were so good, you knew who it was supposed to be speaking
My listening is 1 hour a day plus the odd journey to pick up a tv etc ( dont worry won’t go into that here)
Will have to grab some more of his work as the next listening. Will finish Fire and Blood by the weeks end -
I'm clocking about 1000km a week in the new work wheels ( just in case @Bones is monitoring this thread ) so something like this would be definitely great to have a listen to on those long drives.
There's only so much rocking out on your own in the car you can do without needing a wind down every now and again.

I would be up for a new GOT series but wouldn't rewatch the previous, it was good the first time and I doubt it would be as thrilling the second time. Comedy series I can rewatch, like friends, the office etc
Kinda missing having a weekly installment of something too! -

Kinda missing having a weekly installment of something too!I think with GOT it's the time invested.
I'll happily re watch films I like any number of times and will binge movie series as well. GOT just seems like too much of a reinvestment of my time ( although Fargo was great and I wanna do Breaking Bad again, Mando being Star Wars speaks for itself )

Jeeeeeeesus you've just reminded me, I still haven't got passed my first star wars watch, was meant to watch all of them during lockdown and the order shenanigans on here turned me right off.

I wanna do Breaking Bad again,
Yeah that'd be a good rewatch, I've forgotten most of that except how much of a bitch his wife and son were, they were annoying characters

Haha, other half doesn't want a bar of it cos it reminds her of watching it with her ex. I watched it with my ex first time too....."Let's make new memories, beautiful" I said in a vain attempt to get her keen to have another go at it.
FUck, I'm even more of an awkward douche in real life than I am on the fern.

The GOT books are hugely over rated. The first couple are fucking great. Then he killed off all his best characters and we got looooooong novels about people you barely care about
-
@MN5 bless your awkward doucheness!
I'd listen to her though.. Watch something new together. -

Could say exactly the same about a famous sci fi franchise I quite like. At least a lot of them lived a pretty long life.

Killing off main characters are what makes it so GOT though. Can’t take any of them for granted.
He does over complicate the stories though, way too many sub plots and extra characters. The Frog, Penny, Old Griff.
Rather creepy how young they all were too. -

Rather creepy how young they all were too.which was great at teh start when he still had other good ones. But eventually you end up with an entire book about Sir Barristan and why should i care?

Ser, have you actually read the books or are you trying to sound cool and fake it.

You know you're fucked when Virgil of all people corrects your spelling.
For shame.
