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

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You are right. Which is pretty much why I have not finished it. At this point I just want to complete the series. 2 hours more I can handle. I don't think I will be in for season 2.

I have no comment about things being explained. My answer would be "no."

Because books.

I'm just going to ask for my Brienne/Jaime card to be officially laminated now. I don't even care it if it's sex or romantic love, really. I just want them to be together forever, riding through the countryside being awesome.

And yeah, I do feel kind of dirty saying that about Jaime, but he's winning me over. And what makes it worse is that I don't think he'd even care enough to want to.

Hmm. I found tonight's episode a bit uneven. I'm not sure I have any safe thoughts about it, even in spoiler font.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just wanna say, I was right about Tyrion going the way of Snape, and I'm not altogether happy about it.

(And GRRM wrote this ep! Come on, man, stick by your characters!)

Going the way of Snape?

As in, the book character is a genuinely unpleasant person who is just smart/unpopular enough to have a geek cult following, but then gets completely woobified onscreen.

Oh, I don't know - we are where we are and we'll seen when we get further.
