I kinda like Renovation Reality.  They have some funny newbs on there sometimes that shouldn't even be holding a hammer, let alone trying to hit a nail with it.

s' why I watch those kinda shows.  Trainwreck Syndrome.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I feel so spoiled right now. I should be happy almost all my favorite shows are coming back from hiatus. Instead I'm sighing because there's still over a month until The Walking Dead.

Know the feeling, given that I'm looking forward to Capaldi's Doctor. I have gut feeling he's going to be extremely sassy. Through I still need to catch up on the episodes, I'm right now at where it's just #11 and Amy Pond.

I'll say waiting for GOT is really getting to me, I can't wait for the Purple Wedding to take place.

I'm so glad I never got into that show. It seems to eat your soul.

Doctor Who. *sheepish* It was the focus of the last few posts so I thought it went without saying.

Probably. I'm just slow on the uptake sometimes since I saw both GoT and DW mentioned.

I'm probably the only person on this planet who hasn't watched Game of Thrones...  Of course I also don't have HBO (Is that the premium channel it comes on?)

The only think I know for sure about Game of Thrones is... there's dragons, and a dwarf.

There's also me :D lol.

Sorry, I just like to bring that up as often as possible as it's literally the only thing about me that comes even slightly close to being worth talking about.  I try to ignore the fact that that one interesting thing about me is in no way special or unique due to half the population of Northern Ireland also appearing in the show lol.  Seriously, the odds of you walking around Belfast for a day and NOT bumping into someone who's an extra in it are almost none.

Ahh, the New Zealand Lord of the Rings Extra scenario has a Game of Thrones variant, I see.   Still, good on you to be a part of it. :)

It's nice knowing we have a mini-celebrity regardless of how common it might be for where you live. :P

Also, Doctor, you can always stream it from one of the game of thrones fansites. No downloads necessary. It's how I watched it.

Season 4 had over 2000 extras, plus there are many, many people who for one reason or another have only done one season so there are even more extras than that, and Northern Ireland only has a population of 1.8 million.  Add in the costume, hair and make-up people, the assistant directors, the prop people, the armourers (the main one is actually southern Irish but the other one is from the north so whatever lol) and other misc. crew (bear in mind also that there are two production units so that pretty much doubles the staff - and there used to be 3 units) and it's a sizeable % of the population who who've worked on it.  Also, some of the main cast are Northern Irish, including Michelle Fairley and Kristian Nairn. So I'm not exaggerating when I say just about everyone knows somebody personally who worked/works on the show in some capacity.

Maybe given enough time we might get to be known for something a bit more positive than bombs, bigottry, rioting and the fucking Titanic lol.

Haha, very kind but I'm basically sentient scenerey lol.  Although I did once get chatted up by a slightly crazy woman when she realised I was an extra in  it, thanks to being with a bunch of people who were wearing their GoT crew jackets.  I would have been flattered but I was little bit too scared lol.
