THIS SHOW IS SO GOOOODDD


oh my freaking god

the dialogue is very shakespearian

and the girl who plays the princess is fucking hot as shit

the main guy bugs me. the show is great so far but something about him seems to scream of terrible acting, but i can't tell yet

Michelle has made a vow of some sort, we don't know yet, and Silas was reminding her of it to put distance between her and David.

I didn't notice the wrench-grenade this ep, but (fanwank) maybe they were emulating David.

This show, just by the ads and shit, seems really shitty. It looks like one of those tv shows that's going to get cancelled after a season, and no one will even remember it. I kind of want to check it out, but at the same time, it reeks of awfulness.

>irst off, when michelle is meeting with silas near the end, what was it that he was reminding her of? i sort of missed that whole exchange i didn't really get what happened
They didn't say what it was. You didn't miss anything.

>also, is there any particular symbolism or meaning to the wrench? because david used a wrench-grenade combo in the first episode to get the goliath, and the guards used the same thing to get the birds.
It could be... Writers and producers love to do stuff like that. Just look at Lost, though I hope this doesn't get that bad. If I have to watch episodes over and over again to catch every miniscule symbol, I'll get pissed.

>>3119328 THIS SHOW IS SO GOOOODDD
I know. It's too bad it will probably end up canceled... Its ratings are complete shit.

>>3119358
watch it

i generally don't have patience for drama series, but this one is just captivating and so good and everything perfect in life is this show.

okay not that far but it's one hundred percent worth a watch. the pilot is available for a free hd download on itunes i think it's still up.

>>3119341
Do you mean David or Silas?

Because if you mean Silas I will slit your cocksucking throat from ear to ear.

>>3119368
oh okay i'm glad i didn't miss anything in that scene. some shows if you space out for one second you miss some huge plot point and end up lost for like six seasons.

>>3119380
>>3119380
>>3119380
>>3119380
noooonononono i mean david hahaha.

silas is badass, same guy from deadwood right?

Fuck this show. I'm a Patriot and I'm not going to watch some bullshit show made by Loyalist traitors. It's just Brit propaganda. If the Brits want to rule America again, they can try it. I've got my guns waiting right beside me.

She could of already been given to someone for marriage. Or it has something to do with Brian Cox's character. Don't know why that would effect a relationship with David though.

>>3119341
you's trollin sooooo hard!

>>3119459
not trolling. watch it again. i mean, he's very good but sometimes his acting is just really flat.

I was apprehensive till watched it and realised its not: "LOL WHAT IF AMERIKKA HAD A MONARCHY". Its more like an episode of sliders, sci fi alternate universe in which to tell a very specific story.

>>3119408
i...don't think it's a british show. it's on nbc. could be wrong.

it seems like an hbo or cinemax show though, except for the music which is basically the exact same as heroes music lol

Here's a thought.
Since they've already kicked Silas' son out of the closet, and there's always been speculation that the Biblical King David was gay, do you think they'll ever hint at anything like that? I sort of hope they will, but David's already mooning over the princess and I don't think the US is ready for a gay main character who isn't in a comedic role.

idk it would seem contrived at this point since he's already got a love interest with the princess.

but i wonder what macaulay culkin did to get excommunicated from court hahaha

>>3119552
Not that I have anything against gays but I hope that doesn't happen. I like the romance plot between Dave and the princess which is a plot device I usually despise.

I'm not an Amerifag so I haven't seen the commercials, but there's nothing in the show itself to suggest US WITH A KING. Gilboa is a small country, like a city-state, and there's an alternate history in play.

>>3119572
My money is on rape.

>>3119584
agreed it all seemed to speak more of a shakespearean plot rather than an american one

the only thing i can see to relate to current american affairs is the war they are fighting with gath takes place in a very deserty climate that seems a bit like our current war.
seems like all american-made shows and movies use a desert-based, middle-eastern country as their stock "enemy" country.

>>3119584
Only marketing I saw was lovejoy going on the daily show and thats pretty much how the described it (Im also not American though).

>>3119606
lolwut? The gath frontline appears to be rather muddy WWI esk trenches. The gath themselves being alot more American than the butterfly nation (generals and such). Theres also the fact the gath looked to be a superior force.

show's pretty fucking good.

>>3119621
yeah that's true. i guess the analogy doesn't really work haha

>>3119627
Its a pity no one who matters is watching it (Im a britfag so me pirating it won't effect shit).

>>3119621
>superior force

It's a world where tank are considered invincible and Gilboa doesn't even have any.

>>3119629
>>3119621
>>3119606
>>3119584
It felt more like a stand-in for Israel to me... but with a "king"

>>3119552
I honestly don't think the majority of US viewers would be able to handle even the slightest questioning of David's sexuality. He's your average white bread, red-blooded American boy, plus he's a war hero with a strong personality and moral system--everything gay people are not(on television anyway). When has American television ever portrayed a gay man as anything other than a nancing, limp-wristed fag or an emo, AIDS-riddled, "My daddy didn't love me" fag?

>>3119635
i'd like to petition to change the ratings system since it's pretty common knowledge that it is completely fucked up to the point of being irrelevant.

I watch this show on sunday's.

ITT : Anon who like to waste their time watching a TV show that wont be renewed for a second season and will only last 10 episodes or less (since its ratings are shit and NBC might pull the show from its lineup). So there will never ever be any resolution to any of the plotlines/subplots and viewers will be left hanging.

I'm not a Christfag but I've heard Davie and Jack-o might have got it on back in dinosaur times. The way this show is structured, David can't fall from grace so it might be an un-requited love on Jack's side.

>>3119659
Still better than Heroes.

>>3119659

Good. If they'd done the same thing with BSG we would all have been much more satisfied.

>>3119704

IIRC Heroes gets good ratings. I pirate it and then read the thread here, and that's all it's good for, shitty pile of shit.

As far as Kings, I fucking love it, if it gets canceled, I give up on television.

>>3119690
God, I hope so. The story of David is chock full of sneaky little "are they or aren't they?" moments. I can only imagine what the fangirls were like back then.

>>3119659
So you're saying its impossible to discuss and enjoy a show because its going to be cut short? We can't enjoy Ian McShane's acting, an interesting setting or the delicious princess because we have to come to our own conclusions about the outcome of all the events?

>>3119757
PRINCESS IS SO DELICIOUS OMG

she's been in like

nothing else


god damnit

I like this show, it entertains me.
>When has American television ever portrayed a gay man as anything other than a nancing, limp-wristed fag or an emo, AIDS-riddled, "My daddy didn't love me" fag?
Maybe because its the truth, or at least all the gays I know are that way. Most dads didn't have the same relationship with their other sons as the ones that turned gay....The gays I know. Not to say that's the reason why they turned gay.

Fag show

jew show is jewish

this.

Jack MAY have been gay with David in the Bible, it's been debated for centuries. You're not gonna solve this historical argument on a 4chan thread.

I keep wanting to see more of the guards, the unnamed fat guy and skinny guy. They got good chemistry.
