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.
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.

This is me.
When I heard he was cast, the only thing I could think of was how his terrible acting drug down one of my favorite, little, tiny movies, Blow Dry.
Then, I saw him in an interview being so much more mature and grounded than I've every seen him.
Not to mention that I have _always_ appreciated a man's face more as he ages.
He seems lovely, inside and out.
Still not sure how I feel about that particular scene, both for the genesis of the behavior (anger over being rejected by someone else) and the total randomness of it.
Plus, right in the middle of it, I could only think "the Buffistas are going to LUV this!
Amy, I cannot believe you missed it. It is almost comical how your recording cut off at the exact wrong moment.
You say comical, I say tragic ...
I'm not sure I necessarily buy Ethan suddenly macking on a guy, either, but I'm willing to handwave. Dorian is clearly fine with hedonism of all stripes, so that's good.
