    Both Boardwalk Empire and Downton Abbey 3rd season kick off tonight.

    Meanwhile Tucker returns to Thick of it 4th Season.

    Good times.

    Less than the 12 hours of LOTR, S01 of GoT is as epic as it would get.
    Cleverly written, charmingly acted and overwhelmingly paced.

    Wizzy,
    GoT is undoubtedly epic. Its epicness lies in its density and depth, with the visuals servicing the sotry. LoTR trilogy, as is the case with Peter Jackson usually, is somewhat superficial, except the love stories between men of all sizes, shapes and ages that goes as homoerotic undercurrent. That's the human center of the epic, which somehow gets seen as a low point, or unintended humor. It was very much, intended. It's a love story masquerading as a fantastical odyssey..

    However, in terms of large screen experience, GoT wouldn't be a visual-fantasy awe as LoTR, but would undoubtedly work in every other way.

    GoT S2 on a whole new scale in its ingenuity, wickness and bloody epicness.

    Somehow the pacing, and tonal sweep of "Heavenly creatures" seems to be lost, in later PJ films. Esp. LOTR adaptations, of course, bigger story, longer time (all 3 or 4 hour long, extended cut works better, esp. The Return of the king), massive sweep from casting to production design to special effects.. Ultimately, he does what he could. I don't think he lost control, he does his best.

    Btw, I was invited to a party staged by wedlock inmates, who "force" the free in to making conversations and hook up. "Married people".. quite like what the woman says to Louie, "They just want to spread their shit on everybody." So, caught Louie when I managed to flee. Once again, the show keeps breaking barries of absurdity in to realism & relevance, who better than Lynch to open up absurdity of a talkshow as the casting/training head (though this is far more accessible and full of humor, obviously written by Louie, not maker of "Rabbits" that opens up sitcom).

    Wizzy, there are two types of LoTR fans I know.
    One of them tell me "STFU. I read the book. My understanding of the movie is so deep and I will keep on watching it and appreciating me and Tolkien and Peter and Gandalf and myself." The other one tells me, "Royal VFX mate.. kingly!"
    And I am neither.

    KG/Venkki concur that GoT got a lot more complex plot/characters with varying degree of grayness but to pull LOTR to trashcan is moreso with 'song of ice/fire' burrowing heavily from JRR' The Silmarillion
