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.
Anyone else supremely disappointed by Silicon Valley? I had such high hopes for it, and...meh. The only character I can remember less than an hour after watching it is the redheaded secretary, because I went to college with her. (And hey, good for Jill! Her hair looks great in this show!)
But instead of this being the good version of Betas, it's just the expensive looking version with no female lead. It's Mike Judge so I'll give it some time to find its feet, but man, what a let-down.
The Dreadfort made the opening credits!
Thenns!
G-d, the Jon/Ygritte theme (heard at the end of Jon's appearance before Aemon, Ser Alliser, and Janos Slynt) is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I think I've ever heard.
Replacement Daario, but same Ser Dontos!

That was great!
Arliss is one of us, isn't she? Now of course I can't remember the real name that goes with that pseud...
I think my single favorite moment (other than DRAGONS) from last night's ep was the Arya/Hound exchange "Lots of people name their swords." "Lots of cunts." I swear I could watch a whole show just about them.
arliss is Bev, yes.
The Hound/Arya show is awesome. The look on her face when she was following him on her own horse was priceless. Still, as badass as she was, it makes me a little wary -- I don't want Arya to become nothing more than Killer!Arya.
What did Tywin throw in the fire at the end of that first scene? It looked like a body?
The dragons were incredible, and Dany realizing that they might not be as tame as she imagined was really chilling.
I loved all of it. It was over way too quickly, too.
