I have it on somewhat questionable authority that you'll be seeing a lot more of Mison later in the show.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Yep, that already happened in episode 2. That entire sequence was bonkers in a way I found both disturbing and delightful. Honestly kinda gratified that the first all-out nudity we saw on this show was in a dude, after all the gratuitous T&A stuff we saw in Game of Thrones.

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

If you mean the full frontal nudity, that was last night.

Yep yep. I haven't gotten around to watching yet, but everything I'm hearing is good. Regina King and Jean Smart in a show that busts on Zack Snyder? Shut up and take my money!

Is it just me or is Watchmen getting a little....Lindelhoffy? I'm beginning to remember why I bailed on Lost after the first season. It's one thing to have the characters speak in sly coded references if they're trying to keep secrets, but when two characters who both know what's going on are the only two people in the room and they STILL can't say out loud what the fuck they're talking about...I begin to suspect the writers don't know either.

Like Veidt's comment "I am not your maker" - are we meant to believe that the estate already had a lakeful of creepy clone babies when he moved in? Or just as a figure of speech indicating he wasn't proud of them? (I'm hoping the former only because I've been trying to imagine the real estate listing.)

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

Has anyone watched Mrs. Fletcher yet? I just started it tonight, and so far I find it interesting.

Mrs Fletcher had some great performances, but ultimately you could tell the book it was based on was written by a man and had some male gaze issues.

I started His Dark Materials this week. I never read the book or saw the movie, but I'm really loving the show so far!

Get a load of the premise of Beforeigners, a six-part TV series coming to HBO next week from Norway.

The series takes place in Oslo, where suddenly there are several flashes of light in the sea in Bjørvika. The flashes of light turn out to be a worldwide phenomenon where people from the past suddenly emerge in the present - people from the Stone Age, the Viking Age and the 19th century. Fast forward to five years later, and the so-called "beforeigners" are struggling to integrate into modern Norwegian society.

A woman with Stone Age tattoos is found dead on a beach, and police investigator Lars Haaland is put in charge of the investigation. He is assigned the newly graduated police investigator, Alfhildr Enginnsdottir, formerly a shield-maiden in the 11th century, as his partner. She is the first in the police service with a "multi-temporal background".
