Torchwood: 1) How are you feeling about the relocation of the show from the UK to the states? And are you enjoying the slightly more American populated cast this season (or at least insofar in them filling the hole of having no Ianto, Owen, Tosh etc this season)? 2) What do you think about the role reversal of Jack's character now being the one in the group who is at mortal risk instead of everyone else? Do you think this changes the group interactions/power dynamics at all? 3) Do you think Bill Pullman's character is trustable and genuine? Doctor Who: 1) Do you have any thoughts on how traveling with the Doctor is affecting the companions' home lives, as we saw in episode 7? Do you feel like the characters might want to stop traveling in the TARDIS soon to resume their home lives or...? 2) If and when these companions do depart the Doctor, do you think you'd want all three to leave in one episode or do you think maybe one or two should stick around a little longer? Do you think that if the 'fam' were to leave at this point in the story that these characters have experienced and grown well enough from their experiences (just in terms of what you like to see in a companion arc?) 3) What do you think about the Doctor getting a bit snappier these past two episodes, and in her changing the so-called 'flat team structure' that this group has had so far, amounting herself as the leader in charge? Do you think the imposing threat of the cybermen has made her extra dour? And what do you make of Thirteen being stern in comparison to her usual, more bubbly, persona? Speaking personally, I think it suits Jodie better 4) Knowing how you like cyberman stories, what do you make of the character of Ashad (aka the Lone Cyberman) being thrown into the mix, at least in comparison to the 'typical' cyberman character. Especially in how he still has semblances of emotion and feeling within him. The Walking Dead: 1) With regard to Negan and Alpha, um, being together - do you think he's just taking one for the team or does a part of him geniunely like Alpha? Likewise do you think part of Alpha is genuinely attracted to and mystified by Negan's ol' crass charm? Or do you think it's just a lot of power play going on? Either way, what do you make of the idea of two of the show's 'big bads' being an item? 2) Do you think Daryl is always going to come around to forgiving Carol or do you think she could do something so damaging/affecting that he might turn his back on her? Say, for the sake of argument, that Carol's blast does, in turn, get Connie killed - how do you feel Daryl would process that with regard to Carol. Especially after he's told her numerous times now to change her approach. 3) Do you think Carol will be able to actually slow her role, like she's being recommended to, or that her spree of determined revenge will just continue forevermore until Alpha is defeated? Do you think she's turning back into the version of herself that Rick was afraid of? (Sidenote, how do you think he would handle the situation?) 4) Assuming Connie isn't dead, do you think Daryl discovering she's alive could drive them to maybe blossom their relationship? Sorry maybe this is just my shipper's mind talking lmao Vikings: 1) What do you make of Oleg's wife Katia, and how Ivar is acting around her. Do you think he is only wishing that he could redeem himself with Freydis, thus "falling in love" with someone that he really doesn't know? And what do you make of Oleg's role in their relationship? Sometimes it seems like he's encouraging Ivar to try to persue his wife, sometimes it even feels like he's aware that Ivar thinks Katia looks like Freydis, yet other times he seems super jealous. I dunno 2) Opinions on how Harald's character changed once becoming King of All Norway? Do you think his attitude changed (either minorly or majorly) once he'd achieved this lifelong goal of his? Especially in how it culminated in what he does to Ingrid? 3) Do you think Hvitserk is playing some sort of game with Ivar, or do you think he's generally looked past Ivar's past transgrassions and doesn't care about revenge anymore. Or, at least, do you think Hvitserk is more concerned with getting revenge on Bjorn for banishing him? Or maybe he doesn't care about either and just wants to be a destructive Viking? 4) What are your thoughts on Ubbe meeting his own Athelstan that will help him travel to new lands (much like his father, bless). And do you think Kjettil and Athelstan know more than they're letting on about Floki, or do you think they've genuinely not seen him since he left for the volcano? 5) Overall thoughts on Bjorn and Ivar's central conflict in their battle, do you think to a certain extent they're both upholding "Ragnar's legacy"? I sometimes feel like Bjorn is written to be the heart of the show, or at least to be the 'true' representation of the Vikings, in a way I feel like they're both right and both wrong. They were both coached by Ragnar, but at different points in his life -- do you think they both have different interpretations and memories in regards to how they think of their father? 6) Just quickly, do you think Bjorn (and even Harald) are actually dead? Or have we just been bamboozled lmao The Witcher: 1) Thoughts on Geralt's & Yennifer's relationship as it stands so far? Do you think they make for a good match and are healthily suited for each other, or is it possibly a bit too destructive? 2) What did you think of Yennifer's sort of 'coming of age' arc this season? Do you think she still wants to have "everything" or that she's grown past that by now? 3) Do you think Ciri came to terms with both her powers and her awareness of how important/wanted she apparently is, or do you think she still has more to learn in how she handles herself? 4) Overall thoughts on how the story, with its three characters' storylines of varying timelines being woven together, was executed and wrapped up for this season? Are you looking forward to more scenes in season 2 with Ciri interacting with the other main characters of the show? 5) How do you think the show compares to the likes of Game of Thrones or His Dark Materials in terms of being adaptations of rich source materials, and how did you find the story without have any strong prior knowledge of the books/games?
