Not to be a pedant or anything (screw it this is the GOT thread) but they're called the Night's Watch.

i really had catelyn pictured as robin wright penn

I like that ...she would be good. Am warming to Cat now though.

And I'm growing more fond of Sarah Connor Chronicles not-terminator lady as Cersei...at first it seemed like she had one facial expression and just kept tilting her head from side to side but I'm seeing it a bit more now, the Cersei-ness of her

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 20 May 2011 04:49 (thirteen years ago) link

that kind of sad conversation she and robert had about their marriage really went a long way to humanizing her

Blink 187um (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 21 May 2011 00:37 (thirteen years ago) link

definitely

Jesus christ do you all just read extremely quickly or . . . ?

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Saturday, 21 May 2011 23:41 (thirteen years ago) link

I re-read all four in like a week recently. Shit is addictive.

Number None, Saturday, 21 May 2011 23:44 (thirteen years ago) link

I could see if that if you don't work or do something where you can read on the job but otherwise that just seems nuts. I might just be a slower reader though. idk.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Saturday, 21 May 2011 23:52 (thirteen years ago) link

i only started reading in earnest a couple days ago, with the biggest chunk getting knocked out today

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Saturday, 21 May 2011 23:53 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm still noodling through bk 2...I'm not always in the mood to read all the time but I try to read at lunchtimes & bed, afternoon on the weekend. sometimed I'll go full tilt & do a book in a day or 2, but slower pace is my norm lately

This. :\

Didn't care much for this episode tbh for which I had to wait a FULL WEEK to watch so the mounting anticipation might've set me up for a letdown. I usually like the political intrigue stuff but everything kind of felt inert to me, perhaps I'll re-watch the episode in lieu of reading the book.

cop a cute abdomen (gbx), Monday, 23 May 2011 03:25 (thirteen years ago) link

her faces are nuts - there's something strange about one of her eyes maybe.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Monday, 23 May 2011 03:27 (thirteen years ago) link

lolll at Varys' little...moue. Does that count as a moue? I've always wondered.

Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Monday, 23 May 2011 03:28 (thirteen years ago) link

Cersei has a slanty face like this :/

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 23 May 2011 03:28 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah varys' is my second favorite. i just had to google moue but it looks like it qualifies!!

farty f baby (Princess TamTam), Monday, 23 May 2011 03:39 (thirteen years ago) link

Carcetti has excellent eyebrow skills

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 23 May 2011 03:44 (thirteen years ago) link

So I see some threads are coming together. DAMN.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Rebel IMF (Leee), Monday, 23 May 2011 05:02 (thirteen years ago) link

Was Dany trying to hatch the dragon egg, or making an omelet, or unconsciously trying to see if she was the Dragon?

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Rebel IMF (Leee), Monday, 23 May 2011 05:08 (thirteen years ago) link

hatch, iirc.

Viserys scene in the finale was played perfectly, just how I pictured it.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 23 May 2011 05:38 (thirteen years ago) link

i think she was just bored and wanted to see what would happen
