Art Crawl!!!

Yeah. And I wonder if not replacing him means that another character will get bumped up to do what Ser Denys Mallister did in the storyl.

Also, the Chicago Tribune piece I read (and listened to) described Ser Denys Mallister as the oldest member of the Night's Watch which is just wrong.

Clearly, Maester Aemon is older.

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

So...in Penny Dreadful, did the gay kiss go anywhere? I wasn't paying entire attention, I guess, because it seemed to come out of nowhere and have no impact.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Leftovers got renewed. (Commentary: [link] Is this a safe space to talk about how I'm hot for Justin Theroux even though he wrote Iron Man 2?

It'll be safer if you invite bon into it. Don't want to give her the impression you're poaching.

I wouldn't want to take her away from the baby.

I don't care much about anyone else, but I am absurdly psyched that Hoyt and Jessica are a thing again. If True Blood does nothing else right but let's this stay as is. I will be happy.

I always hoped those crazy kids would make it work in the end.

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

I am pleased about them. And Ginger and Eric was actually kind of sweet.

Compassionately intolerant

It strikes me that, having veered to the farthest reaches of the OTHER side of the fiction spectrum over 7 seasons, True Blood is sprinting back to the sensibilities of the source material right here at the end.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It has a nice circularity to it.
