Chat away folks. Talking TV is soon taking a little break to a place where there is no TV – shock, horror. (Thank god for iPads!)
I’ve set up various threads to post automatically and will check on things every few days.
We’re off to Fiji again, near where Survivor is filmed, so will report back with any Probst sightings.
Time for a new general chat thread. What are you watching?
Mr 5 has just discovered Aladdin, so I’ve been forced to endure “A Whole New World” over and over.
The second season of Master of None has landed on Netflix, but we’re heading off on a family holiday in a few weeks so are trying not to peek before than.

Oh and can’t wait for The Handmaid’s Tale to start screening on SBS On Demand in early July. It gets rave reviews, and Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, West Wing, Top of the Lake) is just good in everything. It also stars Samira Wiley (Poussey from Orange is the New Black).
If you haven’t read this book, here’s the synopsis: The Handmaid’s Tale is a 10-part series set in a totalitarian society in what was formerly part of the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birth-rate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state.
Moss stars as Offred, one of the few remaining fertile women, a woman forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world. In this terrifying society where one wrong word could end her life, Offred navigates between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.
How can it be April already? Hello to anyone reading this from Queensland – hope you are on high ground and have a well-stocked pantry.
Uh oh – remember dark-haired Georgia from Ritchie’s season of the Bachelor?
She’s in a spot of bother.

What’s everyone watching? I saw one episode of Dark Mirror last night and it was pretty good.
G’day, everyone. Here’s a new thread for March chat. What are you all watching besides the usual?
I just finished the last episode ever of Justified, so no more Timothy Olyphant in a Stetson on my screen, damnnabbit.
Well, I blinked and missed the first birthday of Talking TV.
The site was launched just over a year ago, just in time for the 2016 starts of MKR and Celeb.
Many thanks to everyone who came along for the ride and to the newcomers who weren’t involved in the old Reality Ravings site.
A special shout out to Daisy, the No. 1 commenter and the person who encouraged so many people to try out TTV.
I’m not posting as much this year (so many shows, so little time) but I love reading all your comments – even the ones by those of you who refuse to become Survivor converts.
Cheers, all

That old chat thread was getting a bit long, so here’s a newbie. What’s everyone watching?
Benny & Joon was on today so I caught most of that, being an Aiden Quinn fan and liking Johnny Depp (that’s 80s and 90s Depp, not present day Depp).
Tonight I hope to catch up with the latest Walking Dead ep.
New thread for general chat.
What’s everyone up to? It’s school holidays so I’ve been watching cooking shows with Mr 4 in between Numberjacks and Octonauts.
A new thread for general chat.
Anyone else got takeaway so they can be glued to the ABC tonight?
I’m enjoying the combo of Annabel, Leigh and Antony. Plus bonus points for having Penny Wong on the panel.
