I think Damian Lewis is pretty good, but he slips from time to time. Hard to get the vowels right every time.

From the Guardian's GoT recap:
I don't trust those Freys and their steampunky aviator headgear one little bit, although I do like the fact that everyone's handing Harrenhal around as a consolation prize: "Here, take the cursed castle that was once burnt to the ground by dragons; you know you want it really."
Harrenhal - it's the White Elephant of Westeros!

I loved that they made Lame Lothar lame.
Interview with GoT costume designer Michele Clapton.
Beau and I have been rewatching S2 and I am thankful for that. So many things got cleared up for us in the simultaneous rewatch of S2 and S3.
We did this last year, watched S1 and S2 at the same time. During S1, we rewatched S1 at the point we got to the 5th episode.
I'm catching up on DaVinci's Demons. Silly fun - even though I'd imagined Leonardo as less Carravagesque & more Sherlockian. And shouldn't he be sketching more?
Anyone watching Hemlock Grove? I can't see that making it past 5 eps on a station, if it even got that far--Eli Roth knows how to direct, right? So is he asking people to suck? Is that accent so hard for Famke Jansse that she has to be awful?
Interesting transformation scene (and also the Godfrey daughter), but I don't get how these things are aligned with our world--entirely AU? Things happening where we can't see them?
Not sure.
Unlike House of Cards its easy to pay half a mind to, and therefore suited to me today.
We still have like 2-3 eps left and it is agony finishing this series.
Does stuff get explained? That werewolf thing was a huge exposition dump, but I'm still confused about the Godfrey daughter. Was that covered in the bit of the first episode where I fell asleep?
And why are you putting yourself through agony? I mean, what don't you like, and what do you like enough to keep watching? Am curious.
