Livejournal, BE MORE AWESOME

Jun 09, 2012 12:03

Geez, you guys. Why is this place so slow this week? I mean, it's been slow for a while but this is even worse. I know I'm not being helpful by driving everyone away with my constant fangirling over The Killing, but c'mon. Don't fail me now.

Here are a few things happening in my brain right now:

→ Vids. Vids. Vids. I told gigglemonster that I've got The Vids ( Read more... )

movies: snow white and the hunstman, tv: haven, tv: the killing, tv: the vampire diaries, celeb: joel kinnaman, tv: generation kill, i heart my flist, tv: six feet under, movies:savages, movies, tv: shameless us, tv: so you think you can dance, writing, vidding, tv: the pacific, movies: lola versus, celeb: daniel gillies, tv: game of thrones

Basically so far the only people who are not total creeps are the Starks. (I am not sure that is the reaction the producers intended.)

No, no that's pretty much the intention. Well, not "creepy", maybe, but Morally Ambiguous Assholes: The Show? Yes.

Well I haven't gotten so far into it but "ambigous" would not be the word I would choose. Bankrupt, seems slightly more accurate to me.

I feel like the characters are, on the whole, a lot more sympathetic in season 2. I'm actually not a big fan of Robb Stark, but in addition to the remainder of the Starks, I think Tyrion and Daenerys have their hearts pretty consistently in the right place. (Tyrion definitely a creeper, tho, can't contest that)

I am sure that's all true. But I'm only 2 episodes in, so give me time. Daenerys so far has pretty much been a victim of said creepery. And hey, I didn't even know that was her name because they were calling her something else. That's how far into the series I am. Once I learn people's names, I'll get back to you. Haha.

Ohhhhhhhhh

FWIW, I watched the first episode and gave up because it was all ~~eroticized rape scenes~~ and ~~racist BS~~, then after being told it was really really good and worth it, I went back to it and was very glad I did.

It does suffer from *way too many characters, far too many of whom are awful people* in a big way all the way through, but never so bad as in the first episode or two. Given the source material, kind of inevitable, but... there's just not enough screen time to connect with anyone at first. Which is annoying.
