[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.

Because books.

Right! The most important part.

It was an interesting revelation, because of what it clears up after all this time, but it was also clunky and awkward -- suddenly Lysa launches into this infodump to Peter, who obviously knows it all already.

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

Yeah, but it's in her character to remind him of all she's done for him, since she's so insecure about his love for her (as, really, she should be, he's not a sincere man after all).

Because books.

That's true. Either way, she's crazycakes.

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

And also Ned became the new Hand, right? He basically started the books.

Because books.

Well, very briefly. But yeah, the books open with the Starks getting the news about John Arryn, and Ned heading to King's Landing with the girls.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Penny Dreadful, when does it air? I saw the pilot, but then it looks like the next episode isn't until the 18th according to my teevee. Is it wrong?

I thought it was this weekend but I'm not actually sure since I don't have Showtime.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Yeah I think the first episode you have already seen officially airs on the 11th. Any airing before then is a "preview". The 2nd does indeed air on the 18th. I'm too cheap to upgrade to Showtime, and probably too cheap to get it via Netflix or itunes or whatever once it is available. But one of a handful of shows that makes me regret not having premium cable.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

He had her poison him, AND had her write to Catelyn telling her that she suspected the Lannisters

Thank you! I knew she'd helped poison someone and she'd written a letter, but not the deets. Amazing.

Jaime's motivation for sending Pod with Brienne is to shield him from going down with Tyrion's trial and execution. Because Cersei is perfectly capable of getting people to torture Pod until he confesses Tyrion's guilt.
