Telly time
My DVD box of Deadwood has arrived !!!!
I'm so excited and yet I want to save season 2 and 3 so the wonderful experience of watching that brilliant show will last longer. And I don't have much time these days anyway.
As for my online shows, the last episode of The Killing was poorly written. I'm *this* close to give it up (I won't because I want to know who killed Rosie). It's a shame really because there's wasted potential here.
Fortunately the last episode of Game of Thrones was good. It's the first time the series really worked for me, completely, and, from what I read it's the first time that it took many liberties from the book, making up several scenes that didn't exist in it (I read that about half the episode is "new"). The show might be becoming a proper tv series after all (I was losing faith in it given that I was extremely bored during the previous episode and I did consider dropping it).
Great talk scene between the King and the queen, or between Littelfinger and Spider; great visual of the Eyrie (spelling?), especially when Tyron is thrown into a cell, and all the other scenes worked too. The horse being decapitated was really shocking, not something we often see on tv. Quick but gruesome.
Tyron is still my favourite character, and I really like Littlefinger too, but the other characters were all quite fleshed out in this episode AT LAST and the scenes were well writen (ok there were some gratuitous bare breasts here and there but I will forgive them because they made it up with a nice cock ;- )).
For the first time I wasn't thinking "they are trying to do this" (well I did a little bit during the Bran scene), I was just pulled in what the characters were doing or saying on screen, I was believing in the fiction and willing to be fooled.
I haven't watched the last episode of The Borgias yet.
