The Killing

Another good episode but I'm slightly concerned that

I like your Games of Thrones-theory regarding Jon. Don't know how present it's in fandom though since I still try to avoid book-spoilers.

Really liked this week's Chuck. For me it was the best since the mid-season finale and a reminder of what makes (or should I say made) the show so great.

And I loved this week's Community! Of course there always is some negative truth when a show makes fun of itself but this was just so damn funny! (and I really want to see the Mexican-drug-runner-adventure...)

I really like my theory too and so far there are teeny tiny little things in the book that I can read far to much into to support it. I'll definitely be careful about mentioning book spoilers and just say that there is some very entertaining stuff coming up.

I didn't really have strong feelings either way about Chuck which is why I deemed it beige. Admittedly, I've never been super into the show so it takes a lot to get me really excited about an episode. I really wanted to learn more about Sarah's mother from this ep but she still didn't get a mention.

I desperately want to see the Mexican-drug-runner-adventure too! It reminded me of Arrested Development's Mexican adventures - looked like the same location. All the shenanigans in this ep really worked for me, it's just when the show gets too meta that I have trouble with it.

I know that the killer is going to be different and that the American version will eventually diverge from the original

I didn't know that! I wonder why they changed the killer? I'm very curious now.

Game of Thrones is pretty grim, huh? I thought the (other!) blonde, royal lady with the odious brother might be pleasantly surprised by her savage looking groom, but no, it was TEARS, RAPE, TEARS. I hope she gets to behead someone soon, preferably the hubby or brother! I won't hold my breath though.

can't you just imagine Malcolm Tucker in this world? Threatening to impale people and then actually doing it? Or they could just cast Peter Capaldi in a similar role.

Ahaha, that's a terrifying thought!

Feeling remarkably optimistic about this one because I don't think Blair spent the week in bed dwelling on something she's already realisedYeah, I don't think this episode shut the door on D/B or anything, and Blair's lunatic reaction was in character. But her "epiphany" sending her right back to Chuck was disappointing enough for D/B fans

They changed the killer precisely because they didn't want people to spoil themselves through google.

In Game of Thrones its not like "Shit gets real". The shit is already real and there is a tonne of it. I feel so sorry for Daenerys (Yes! Spelled her name right!) but I think she's not going remain a victim for long. She has dragon eggs and hopefully they are like Chekov's gun.

Ahaha, that's a terrifying thought!

Terrifyingly awesome! I need Malcolm Tucker back in my life.

I have a hunch that we'll eventually see the entire kiss played out in a later episode (this hunch is based on the fact that they showed a second more of this kiss in this episode). But then, there's no telling what these writers will do. Sometimes they are super clever with all their references and parallels but then they want the wrong things!

Ha! Really? I've never heard of any American remake of anything taking that precaution.

I love your Game of Thrones theory. I never formulated a specific theory myself, but I DID know that the situation as it was presented to us didn't make sense for Ned's character at all.

[bennet_7]

Yeah, if it's not that it's definitely something else because Ned is all about keeping his vows. In every chapter he seems to remember Lyanna saying "Promise me, Ned" but we never find out what exactly that promise was.
