SPOILER:

it's been discussed in the first season, as well as the books.

its pretty obvious who its going to be if you have seen from the beginning. how did you get the spoiler to work, it either shows what i posted or nothing at all. but knowing Martin there could be a twist, he loves his twists as much as killing people off

Iâ€™ve finished the Buffy part of my Buffy and Angel re-watch marathon in chronological order. One more season of Angel and Iâ€™m done.

Hereâ€™s how I rank all seven seasons of Buffy:

I'm currently four episodes of six into Assignment One of Sapphire and Steel.

When i first saw this in the early days of dvd i have to be honest it bored the pants off me, however thanks to a Network sale i bought the complete series and my thoughts are somewhat different now.

Basically i love it. I can see why the me of nearly 20 years ago found it boring as it's extremely slow burning, but that's what it does, it burns itself into your head and becomes compulsive television.

The two leads Sapphire (Joanna Lumley) and Steel (David McCallum) are quite wonderful. They play 'operators'. Beings based on elements who right wrongs in the dimensions. In this first assignment they are righting wrongs in the time line of a house in 70's England.

It's a wickedly creepy story that plays on the historical meaning of nursery rhymes and as one is spoken ghosts from the past as elements from each rhyme appear in the house, so we get plague victims for Ring-a-Ring-a-Rosie and Parliamentarian Roundheads doing door-to-door searches for Goosie-Goosie-Gander. The way old England is interpreted into a sci-fi concept is well done and also startlingly original.

Little is known about Sapphire and Steel, McCallum and Lumley play it very cool, in fact alien is a better term. McCallum is well suited to the part and his cold facial expression barely slips, Lumley on the other hand has a gentleness about her but also exudes a sexual sophistication (That's possibly just Lumley full stop though).

Being four episodes into a six episode serial nothing is resolved yet but i really can't wait to continue the story this evening.

Is 2 the top or the bottom? If it's the top I pretty much agree with you.

I've just read this quote from the producer of Game of Thrones.

Quote:

We've already had six sets of 10 one-hour episodes, so we're looking at two more series of six or seven programmes.
"We want to leave while all the people watching this show are really into it,"

said creator DB Weiss.

Meanwhile in other tv news, Corrie is getting another episode bringing it to 6 per week.

Yeah Season 2 is top. The rankings are from top to bottom. Season 3 is a very close second but 2 just edges it for me. 5 was a return to form after the terrible Initiative story arc of Season 4 amongst other flaws. Season 1 is in the middle of the series followed by 6, 7 & the said weakest 4.
