there is mate, they are just over in the sunny parts of the world like Braavos and Medeen and the like.
They tend not to be found in Westeros.

I watch GoT in season-long marathons over a few days, just got round to S6: miraculously managed to avoid any major spoilers (other than
...bit of a copout that).
The final two episodes were outrageously strong - the director/cinematographer should win an Emmy, and the hold the door moment one of the all-time great emotional moments of any telly (up there with MASH's chicken on the bus).
Otherwise quite a few plot contrivances, last-minute rescues, über-coincidental meetings and the like. The dragon CGI still looks too hyper-real (like HDR), textures too sharp and their movement is overly 'dramatic'. Dani got a bit better, but she's still somehow unconvincing - other female leaders are more credible: like Yara, Cercei, Queen of Thorns etc, so there's something slightly off with how Dani is written and how she's played by her actress. Also should've had the Children of the Forest talking in more exotic accents, the main character sounded too normal. Arya's plot felt a little ballsed-up as well, but mad props to the T1000!
Still utterly watchable, never boring. I really enjoy the parallels to world history: a lot of the machinations, once you take away the tits and dragons, seem quite faithful to how we've known it in the real world. And even taking into account this season's death toll there's still a huge memorable cast left.
Leftfield props to Thoros of Myr: a beguiling minor character who hopefully will get more screentime if he ever runs into the red woman. Speaking of her, she is by far the most absolute sex of all characters. Ok, except when she's looking in a mirror.
My favourite couple are still alive and, relatively, happy!
But if there's one absolute favourite it's Tyrion (he's yours too, isn't he?). By my reckoning ever since S2/3 there's 3 characters so important they won't be killed off, until perhaps the very last episodes: Tyrion, Dani & Arya. When the latter
my head almost fell off, but so far all 3 are still around.
So given Seasons 5 & 6 had quite a few weaknesses, they've produced 4 of the top 10 best episodes, 3 of them in S6 (The Door and final two).
Better than Lost, better than Breaking Bad, still just behind BSG as best series ever. If GR Martin can't pull his finger out then I'm happy to let the showrunners go their own way: just less of the plot contrivances, please.

Your favourite is still Tyrion? They've ruined him imo. Been getting worse and worse since season 5.
What's BSG? And nah, not having that it's better than Breaking Bad.

In what way, Dan?
Blackwater still my number 1 favourite ep, but I like his role as hand to blondie. It's a progression which makes sense, and one he deserves. Anyway, with Tyrion (and more specifically the actor who plays him) it's almost irrelevant what the writers do with him, the screen just lights up when he's on.
I'd agree he's even more entertaining if he has a great foil: Varys is almost as good as Bronn in that respect.
BB was excellent. Maybe top 5. Proper pulp fiction. But it lacked memorable women and its final season went a bit OTT.
Battlestar Galactica is the only series I've ever seen without anything really wrong with it. I was fine with the ending too.
utter tosh all the way through that series

Is battlestar just like star trek?

deconstructed rep
not really, ash...apart from the spaceships factor. bsg goes deeper into philosophy than star trek as it's one long story arc rather than single stories. it's also more mature and better acted across the board.
try the pilot (called "mini-series"). it should grab you to watch the rest.

Speaking to someone in work they reckon the first episode is one of their favourite episodes of all time of any show.
Going to give it a go seeing some though I haven't seen a space show since firefly

He wasn't 'hand to blondie' til the last episode of season 6. Aside from that he really didn't do much, he made eunoch jokes and talked about how much he likes wine to Grey Worm and Missandei. Not sure they knew what to do with him, hence that random scene with the dragons. His dialogue has been off this season, and he's become a caricature of himself; "I drink wine and I know stuff".
The latter two BOTH being better than GoT.
Battlestar Galactica is the best show on earth. Season 3 of BSG had an amazing episode that left my skin tingling and just amazed at how friggin amazing it was!
