Game of Thrones (no spoilers) and The Killing (also no spoilers)
I've been reading the Game of Thrones book and stopped in order not to get ahead of the televised version, because I don't want to word-spoil myself. The series is following the book very closely. Except the series never mentioned Baelish's first name. It's Petyr.
I'm a great believer of "the book is better than the movie," but since I started the novel after I had already seen about ten episodes of the televised series, I feel that reading the conclusion will take something away from the series.
Case in point, the most recent episode. Sometimes having a visual is much more satisfying than imagining it in your head, especially when it was done as well as it was tonight.
I have the other novels, and I don't think I'm going to want to wait to read them once the finale airs next week on HBO. I know I'm going to want to "see" what happens right away.
As for The Killing, Alona Tal (aka Jo from Supernatural) showed up in tonight's episode. And next week we get to hear who the killer is. Previously, I thought it was two different people other than who I now think is actually the killer! I'm a little disappointed if this person happens to be the killer, but I'll know more next week.
