Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

So, there was a Wire shout-out on iCarly.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Finally got to GoT ep 5 and 6. Loras and Renly? That's....fascinating. And rather off-book. But fascinating. I was expecting Loras to be prettier. Shinier hair perhaps?

And i imagined Osha as much older. And less Tonks. Still, prettier Osha does make more sense than what i imagined.

I couldn't love Arya more. Didn't think that was possible, but she's adorable.

The production values are so amazing, I just don't get why so many of the wigs are so meh. Viserys' is fanastic, but Dany's looks like something out a halloween chain store. Loras looks like he stuck his head inside a clogged bathroom drain. The hairlines are impecable, yet they look dull and...fake.

It's true. Why are there so many bad wigs on tv? I believe that there should be an investigation.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I didn't realize Osha was Tonks until someone mentioned it. Her scene with Theon was very revealing about character and cultural assumptions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I remember Alias's wigs disproportionately fondly.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

When they look like magenta fiber-optic cable, the wigmakers don't have to worry so much about making them convincing.

That's the wig you remember. She had plenty of natural ones too.
