This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

We finished "Hemlock Grove." Man, that season finale was the WORST. As bad as the series is, I really didn't think it could get worse. But then guess what? Boom goes the finale.

I cannot believe such a sack of shit was bought wholesale by netflix. Interesting ideas, but the writing is atrocious and the pacing of events is worse.

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

Having watched S1 of American Horror Story now--THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE, IDIOTS.

Because books.

The Game of Thrones video you have to watch.

Ha! I just watched that elsewhere and thought--wait, didn't I not click on a link on Premium because I was at work? Let me check that out...

I do like the line about Ned Stark being invulnerable because he's the main character because he's on the poster--but why are any deaths still shocking after that? I mean, even though he's Sean Bean.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's a line something like "I should know better by now" after that.

But they still make the joke about the next seasons. You can only milk that so far, and that ultra coy fake fakeout was way past the sell by.

I think this is interesting discussion about her character;s nudity in GoT: [link] I wonder why not a merkin? Are we all pretending adult women just show up that way?

Apparently Oona Chaplin says she had no problem doing nude scenes as long as they honour the female form. What does that have to do with the story being told?

I do agree with the general disgruntlement about how much more we see of women than men--subjectively I feel like we even see more topless women than shirtless men, which is kinda ridic.

Sometimes I think that SNL skit may have had something to it: [link]
