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

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? :/

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.

Okay, after reading your thoughts on GOT, I would HIGHLY recommend reading the books! I loved the television series, but I think that that is because I read the books first: I appreciated the characters in a different way, the pacing was a little better, and I was actually able to keep track of all of the characters (there was a handy dandy list in the back of the book which was a huge help at the beginning!), which is huge, I think. :o) Margery Tyrell is, for the record, one of my favorite characters (and she becomes exponentially more awesome as the series progresses!), so get excited. :o)

You're probably right, it's no doubt a similar situation to Atonement (though unlike with GoT I didn't like that one at ALL as a non-book reader). I might read the books, but rn they're too big and i have too much else on my list. :/ The character lists can definitely be helpful, the Kushiel series I mention above (which you should read someday if you can! ;)) always had a "Cast List" at the beginning, along with a map...

;oP *clicks heels and salutes* Yes, ma'am! As soon as I've taken the GRE, it's going to be all True Blood all the time! ;oP

Totally understand this feeling! I think that they're something that you'd really like, though, if suddenly you plow through everything on your reading list... :o)
