...I haven't watched in years.   Wasn't really going to.  Wasn't even that tempted when the two dudes (who I loved and now cannot recall their names, fail) finally got engaged (or something ( Read more... )

[Not really spoilery, just J&B love...]Just watched 3x07 of Game of Thrones.  I live for the Jaime and Brienne scenes.  While I had purchased the first book, I haven't yet read it.  I've been told by someone that I must read just to get more of Brienne's backstory.

I swear if I were young and having a daughter again.  I'd name her Brienne.

Spurred by a question asked by mrsr58 over on her LJ, I decided to repost my response on my journal.

Watching Hell on Wheels (really well done).   Noticed that John Shiban was an executive producer.   Christopher Heyerdahl is in this to, although I haven't seen him yet.  Fickleone told me about the series and that Christopher was in it ( Read more... )

ashmh  posted in madmen_tv a link to this blog entry about the women on Mad Men and feminism.
