It's HBO(GO)-Time: True Blood and Game of Thrones!

[sherrilina]

Well True Blood is back, and looking up from last season so far at least! The premiere, minus the cheesy beginning, wasn't so bad, a step up from last season's premiere to be sure, and then the second epp (which I actually saw last Monday thanks to HBOGO) was much better--can't wait now for next week's epp!  And congrats HBO for FINALLY airing an

Haha, I'd only seen people saying positive things about Snow before watching, so I was expecting to like him--glad to see I'm not alone in my mehness towards him! :p. And okay cool, Lannister fistbump then! ;)

Oh really? I think you're the first I've heard who is upset with that casting decision...may I ask why? I have no idea b/c I don't know who she is, but I'm curious...

Yeah, stupid Canal version that apparently can't be bothered to have a clear release date out there like a normal TV show! /grumble grumble

Oh and how did you take Camelot's cancellation? :/

Heh, he is so annoying/boring! Boo hoo, I'm a bastard...

And okay then, that does make sense, she is indeed anything but sweet-looking, creepy is more like it! The age thing isn't as important I think b/c they ALL are aged up (Dany is no 13-year-old), they didn't try to pretend they were younger with older actresses like on The Borgias. I had just heard that MT was a BAMF, which made ND seem like a good fit. *shrug* And oh so you don't liike ND even in the end of The Tudors? I disliked her in season 1, when I just thought she was creepy, but she grew on me by the end when we got more into her head...I'm beginning to think she would actually make an excellent Melisande Shahrizai if Kushiel's Legacy were ever made into a movie/TV show, since Melisande is supposed to be beautiful but deadly, aloof, unsettling, extremely cunning, though sometimes later in the series showing a softer side as well where her son is concerned, and looks-wise the character has black hair and deep blue eyes.

Yes, she was, though I can't say I wouldn't have acted the same in her situation, with that living constant reminder of the man I loved betraying me.

Oh well yeah obviously I was on Team Katherine/Mary the whole time so I was mostly rooting against her, but still when she was seeing Henry turn from her and was condemned to die at the end and saw her brother killed and had those epic flashbacks (I'm such a sucker for flashbacks, you have no idea) I did finally feel for her. I didn't realize you'd also seen her in other stuff you were judging the actress on, I've only seen her in The Tudors.

And oh wow, I didn't realize you'd read KD, what did you think?! :D. You definitely need to read the rest, the series gets even more epic, and I LOVE the sequel series (that focuses on a character introduced in the third book that gives a new interesting POV on the characters from the previous books) as well.

Ooh you don't like Cat? I'd be curious to hear more (lol I'm always curious when entering a new fandom about what others think). I certainly didn't love her, she was really annoying to me where Tyrion was concerned. But also mean to Jon....you're right, it's not fair to take it out on the kid, but then humans aren't perfect, and I can see why she'd do it.

It was an epic team, esp once Brandon and his wife joined it, I loved what a badass pair they made, so sad what happened to them in s3...:(

Yep, a great sequel series, I even think I'm more into the main romantic pairing that series than Phedre/Joscelin in the first one--maybe because I spotted it earlier that time around. If you plan to continue the series you should def reread the first one if you can't remember it, b/c it's all very complex and interrelated...

[sherrilina]

Oh dear, you mean there's more annoying stuff by her to look forward to in the coming seasons like what she does with Tyrion? :/

Sure well if you do get around to reading them, let me know what you think! :)
