Iain Glen Four Times

I wish I had a Ser Jorah Mormont to follow me around with weary puppy-dog eyes. Everybody still watching A Game of Thrones? As someone who's read the books, I can't believe they ended this week's episode where they did! I won't get into spoilers but I expected at least a couple more mind-busting minutes to the episode. Still though, they visualized that scene better than could have even hoped. So spectacularly creepy - even though I was sitting on the edge of the sofa waiting for it, my jaw dropped. Literally. Right onto the floor. And there it lay til this day.

The show, visually-speaking, is incredible this year - much better if you ask me than last. I'm sure it's because it's a hit and HBO is giving them a real budget now, but there's a sense of scope that was missing from the first year, when things like the Dothraki Holy City and the big tournament at King's Landing seemed relatively puny.

I also watched the first episode of Veep last night, which I found hysterical; and I don't have any desire to wade into any of the angry back-and-forth that Girls appears to be generating but there is nothing making me laugh harder on TV these days. I am firmly entrenched in the "Lena Dunham is brilliant" camp, and am going to go off and google "stuff that gets up around the sides of condoms" right this second.
