Yeaaaah....But what's the right spelling in the context of....."I can't bear/bare do do 'X'." ?

We need to be told.....Otherwise I'm going to 'OIK' you.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bear, as in to carry or support a burden , or as a noun, a nasty big hairy creature  that is  reputed to do unmentionable things in the woods...... or is that the Pope?

Bare, as in to show off, or uncover or, in describing a condition,  'naked'

Well, if you ignore all the other episodes, tonight's was bang on (well, apart from the first 15minutes, but you've got to get the Amazons in somewhere)!

We gave up on it after episode 3. Simply awful :(

I had more fun waiting for the topcoat on my latest project to dry.

Yes, Troy, Fall of A City is less interesting than watching paint dry.

If it's taken five hours to get anywhere near interesting I really can't be arsed, sorry :D

On the other hand I've watched a season and a half of Penny Dreadful and that's been fun. Quite silly, but fun. Also it has Eva Green & Helen McCrory in which can't hurt.

I'm confused.. :^o :^o :^o :^o :^o...Are you all saying this series was a pile of poop ?  ;)

(Not even bothered to watch a single episode......especially after everyone's less than complimentary comments.)  ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Exactly the same here.

I wouldn't go that far, but it was dreadfully dull.

Ah, yes. I've seen only the first series. Quite watchable, but I spent the whole time thinking that this is what the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen should have been, rather than that pretty ropey movie.

toxicpixie

Yes, exactly - oddly enough that was very much my first thought!

I like that the plot is (so far) quite personal and didn't jump straight into massive world spanning Big damn heroes.

I have watched episode 1 of Troy, and taped recorded the rest.  Is it worth keeping and watching when I gt the time, or should I just free up dik space by deleting it?

What did you record them on?! No, no, please don't answer that :D

I have to say I'd ditch them. Apparently halfway thru episode 5 there's a spark of interest but I can't face wading thru the rest to get there...

That nice Mr Freud would have made some sort of comment, there.  :D
