It seems I must re-watch. I don't recall why Melisandre is on Arya's list.
Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
For Gendry, I'd imagine. (This would be a tv show only thing.)
I figured it had to be a show thing, given that she's not on the book list.
One nice thing about being sick - I finally started watching House of Cards. I'd say "why didn't anyone tell me?" but everyone did tell me.
I finished up S2 last night - wowza. What a ride.
Did we ever establish a statute of limitations regarding Netflix spoilers, or should everything just be spoilerfonted for safety?
I would say that Season 1 is fair game and Season 2 should be spoilerfonted (although I am in Season 1, personally, but that's on me at this point), but I don't think we ever came to any kind of conclusion about how to deal with Netflix Originals in general.
We watched the first ep of S1 of House of Cards and hated it. We generally dislike anything that breaks the fourth wall. Any reason to continue? So many people love it, I feel like we should, too. Then again, we also didn't care for Breaking Bad. Got through S3 and left it.
I'm rewatching Game of Thrones in prep for S4, and Rory McCann is just perfect as the Hound.
Yes. The casting on that show, in general, is just phenomenal.
I realize that this comment probably more properly belongs in Literary, but since I brought up the subject of GoT...
I am very curious about the maesters, at this point. We know so little about them as an organization, beyond external trappings. In particular, I am very curious as to why the (apparently) only two even remotely honorable and competent maesters we've seen (Luwin and Aemon) were assigned to the ass end of the north.
I find myself wanting to know SO much more about Luwin in particular. Who was he? Where did he come from? Why was he such a good man in comparison to, say, Pycelle? Did he want to serve at Winterfell? Or was his character what got him assigned there, either to keep him out of the way, or to keep an eye on something important? Did he have a say?
And Aemon. What a curious man, particularly for a Targaryen.
