Before the Lord of the Rings hit theaters a few years ago, I attempted to wade through the trilogy again by signing up for an on-line book club with Barnes and Nobel. In the forum, I recall a discussion about what was being kept for the movies and what wasn't. One fan posted they already hated the films and were going to weep during their entire viewing of Fellowship of the Ring because Peter Jackson and company had decided the subplot with Tom Bombadil would be cut.

A Game of Thrones
Airdates: Sundays starting April 17 at 9 p.m. on HBO
Slice of SciFi Rating: 5.0 out 5.0
Years ago, HBO showed that cable could do just as well, if not better, than the networks in providing audiences with solid, award-winning, critically-acclaimed dramatic programming with its first hit series The Sopranos.
The BBC held a press screening for the upcoming two-part season premiere of Doctor Who.
While Slice of SciFi wasn't able to attend, we have heard several reports about the screening from those who were lucky enough to attend.
The screeners are out for A Game of Thrones. We'll have our thoughts on this highly anticipated new series in the coming days. But to tide you over until then, the Hollywood Reporter has weighed in with their thoughts on the new series from HBO.
USA Today's television critic Robert Bianco has a preview of tonight's season finale of V. Here's a sample of what he says about the finale.

Unless you're a Grinch, you'll have a good time with these holiday treats
Holiday episodes for popular television series are nothing new. They've been around since the days of old radio and they'll be around in whatever the next step in popular entertainment is.
Last week, SGU producer Brad Wright promised that the upcoming run of Stargate Universe episodes would kick the series into another gear. That's a big promise from a series currently delivering solid episodes week after week in its second season.
The good news is that Wright is as good as his word. Based on the episodes provided for preview by SyFy, fans of SGU are going to be very, very happy with the results the next two weeks.
Sunday night, the annual "Treehouse of Horror" episode of The Simpsons airs on Fox.
USA Today TV critic Robert Bianco weighs in on this year's edition.
Last Friday, the CW's long-running series Smallville hit a major milestone, airing its 200th episode. At the encouragement of a Slice of SciFi reader, I tuned in for the episode, curious to see what the series still had to offer after 200 hours of watching Clark Kent slowly evolve into the Man of Steel.
ABC's "No Ordinary Family" debuts tonight at 8 p.m.
The pilot was made available to 50,000 fans to stream last month and several of the Slice of SciFi crew caught it and are intrigued by it. While we haven't seen an official screener of the episode, several critical outlets have. Here's a sample of what they have to say:
It's Friday and that means it's time for a bit of listener feedback! And we'll also find out the latest from Sweetleaf!
