Game of Thrones Catch-up: 5x03-5x05
Guys I think someone should go check on the temperature in Hell, because this season of Game of Thrones has actually been GOOD! O_o I'm still in a state of shock tbh; I really didn't think this show had it in them. Aside from a couple of random scenes in 5x04 and 5x05 respectively, the last 3 episodes straight have managed to hold my interest from

I have no idea where the thousands of GoT fans are hiding out. Certainly not here on lj. BUT if you read this someday, I hope you would point me towards active GoT discussions and hopefully Theon fans. Preferably here on LJ.
Alas, LJ is pretty dead these days, which is a real shame when it comes to discussing stuff. The main community where GoT discussion happens now is ONTD (ohnotheydidnt), although there is less of it now since a lot of people there haven't liked the last two seasons. But there are still a lot of news and interview posts, and inevitable discussion in the comments. And usually live-watching posts for the episodes.
I also hope to find more reviews like yours. Would have liked to read what your impressions were of season five's final episodes. Or other people's. Love Alfie to bits and pieces.
I posted reviews for every episode of season 5 except for the finale, because I still haven't gotten around to finishing it, derp. Most of my stuff is f-locked though, which is why you can't see them atm...but since I see now that you are an actual person and not a spammer, I will friend you back! :) I could always use more Theon fans on my f-list.
Suffice it to say, however, that my impressions of the finale involved a lot of deliriously happy keyboard smashing! ;) The Theon scene involved is my favorite scene of the whole goddamn book series, so I was over the moon that they a) actually included it and b) did such a good job with it. <33
Oh and I'm curious, how did you come across my journal? :)

I can't wait to read your reviews!! I began reading the books before the show but wasn't really taken with them. Well, I did like a lot of the characters such as Tyrion, Jaime, Brienne, Theon, Jon Snow, Ygritte, etc. But I wasn't blown away by the writing probably because English isn't my first language and so, it quickly became a bit long winded.
But I love the show eventhough it's a bit too gory/violent for my liking. And well, Theon's story has broken my heart and I'm in awe of Alfie Allen's acting.
I think I found you eithre via GRRM's posts here on LJ tagged Theon Greyjoy or Alfie Allen. If that's not where I found you I visit only these places: Tumblr, A03, instagram, and twitter. :) I think I remember that you linked to your livejournal account, so maybe it was on tumbrl? (Thing is I've been searching high and low for reviews and people who like the show and Theon, really. So it's all quite jumbled.)
