Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A scene was cut explaining the turnaround on Littlefinger. Apparently that wasn't playacting by Arya to fool Littlefinger. Pretty sloppy storytelling to leave this information out:

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

That cut scene is pretty lazy storytelling in itself.

Right? You've got an omniscient character in the room. That's kind of cheating.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

We watched 1.5 eps of American Gods and I kind of hate it. Will that change or is the season the same? And I love Ricky Whittle (Shadow Moon) and Ian McShane and was really excited for this show. Sigh.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear! Sad to hear that because I haven't watched yet and want to love it.

Also, holding off on watching the last 2 GoT episodes to delay season's end. I don't like to watch the last ones available often on series because then I don't have any more. It is irrational, but I seem to do it often. (and don't mind being spoiled at all)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't know Glam. I loved it from the beginning. So, it's hard to say.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I enjoyed American Gods, but I can see how someone might not.

Glam, what is it that you hated about it?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I accidentally watched ep4 first, LOVED it, and then went back and watched 1-3 and was really unimpressed. I do want to catch up with the rest eventually, but mostly to put that clip of Gillian Anderson as David Bowie into context.

I wanted to like it so much, because the book is so great, but it was just...too much. Too much slo-mo blood splatter, too much Ian McShane Ian McShaning all over the place, too much asking me to take for granted that they would eventually finish the prelude and get around to the story.
