I reviewed last night's episode of Treme at the AV Club, but unfortunately I didn't like this one very much: [link]

I will read your review tonight after I watch the episode.

I love the title of James Poniewozek's review of this week's GoT: Sons of No One, Bastards of Young.

I definitely agree that the pacing was way off this episode. Did I catch correctly that Tim Robbins was the director of the episode, or was that last week's (I watched both back to back)?

Tim Robbins did last week's, I thought he did well. I did not recognize the writer's name this time...admittedly I tend to collect facts like that the way men collect session players or baseball statistics, but I'm just saying. This one was just okay. I mean, it moves stuff forward, so we need it to shut up those critics who are always sniffing that "Nobody has enough to do," on Treme, when everybody who has watched "Once More With Feeling" knows "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it." I suppose Antoine and his bone are supposed to fight crime or something. I didn't need to see the crime, either, but we did need to see something. When the detectives show up, it doesn't make sense. My own Stray Observation: Jeannette got bitten on the ass by a quote from Kitchen Confidential, Bourdain's chef memoir, which I recommend enthusiastically. The quote was "I can teach you to cook, but I can't teach character,"(Which I don't think AB would apply to a pro like Jeannette...more like her roommates, but I digress.) I liked the parts with the musicians, though.

I would say that Annie missed Sonny a little, and felt bad for not believing him, too.

Anybody else suspect Jeannette doesn't have a job when she gets back from New Orleans? That chef seemed like a big enough dick to pull something like that.

It could happen, yeah. It would also get her back in the Crescent City so she can be on the same show with everyone.

Behind the scenes stuff: Minor houses, the Dothraki languages; the Night's Watch.

The bit about Catelyn and her sister (the first clip) is a bit spoilery but I don't believe that either of the other two are.

I can't believe that something I like so much is getting a really first class adaptation from HBO.

I know!!!
