I really hope GRRM hurries up with the next book, because they're going to run out of plot pretty soon....
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, in the first scene, anyone else say, "We only know two songs. If it's not the one, it has to be the other."
I did! Come on show, this gag is funny in the books but would it kill you to write a third song?

I can't really explain why; it just seemed to work as a sendoff, in a weird philosophical way.
There was definitely a sense of "I've been trying to solve this problem for years and now I'm going to die without ever knowing the answer."
Arya's story has diverged so much from the books at this point, I honestly have no idea what she and the Hound are going to do next.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I get the distinct impression that they'll be at the end of Book 5 (or past?) for most or all of the characters at the end of next season.

Arya laughing at the Bloody Gate was everything! I'm not even mad that her story is turning out so differently from what it has been to date in the books (although I do hope they get back to that storyline at some point) because I love the Arya and the Hound show with my whole heart.
I'm also enjoying that they are giving Sansa more agency than she's had in the books. The look over the shoulder at Littlefinger when she was putting on her little teary performance was great. I like this angle much better than pinning it on some random troubadour.

Because books.
Penny Dreadful - it just occurred to me that if Ethan is a werewolf, he's an American werewolf in London.
Heh. What happened at the very end of the episode? I got to where Ethan is flashing back to all the events of the evening as Dorian intones about the music he put on, and then my recording cut off.

Wow, Amy. You really did miss it.
The last minute or so was Ethan on Dorian action.
Unexpected!

Please tell me you're not kidding. The whole episode I was thinking that there would have to Ethan/Dorian fic soon, or I would have to write it.
Wow, I need to see that.

I'm liking Josh Hartnett so much more than usual in this.
And not just because he's going to sex up Dorian, either.
