This is gorgeous!

The independent girl is a person before whose wrath only the most rash dare stand, and, they, it must be confessed, with much fear and trembling.

I’d watch a TV series staring these two actors. I don’t care what the show is about, I’d watch it. Especially if it featured Littlefinger and Varys as Westeros’s odd couple...just saying.
It’s over now the music of the night!
I’m in mourning
The lack of typical music and the hand-held camera work really improves the series, it gives the show a documentary-like feel, making the uncomfortable subject matter all the more disarming. Everything about this show seems designed to get under people’s skin. If this show doesn’t make your skin crawl, then it’s on too tight. If this show doesn’t pull at your heart strings, you need to loosen them.
The unsung hero of the HBO’s OZ is the person who was in charge of all the ambiance and horror sound effects and shit. Without them, the series wouldn’t be nearly as fucking intense as it was
Her life story is very interesting--both of Henry’s sisters are just as fascinating and entertaining as he is! I know Philippa Gregory wrote a book on Margaret (Three Sisters, Three Queens), but I’ve heard it’s not as good as her other ones. Plus she hasn’t written a book about Mary, though she appears in The Other Boleyn Girl.
I can’t wait for the final books to come out and everyone will realize this was George R.R. Martin’s plan the entire time.
Hey I’m as mad as anyone about Dany going crazy… but if you read the books and watch the show you can see this is NOT something completely out of left field for her. She sees herself going mad. She asks the people she trusts to watch her. She tells herself she’s not her father or brother. Now take her baseline and add 2 dead kids and a dead best friend. This is what Dany was going to become.
Jon Snow....King Beyond the Wall.
Sansa Stark.....Queen of the North.
Bran Stark....King of Westeros (um okay)
Arya Stark....Queen of this ship.
Maybe Arya will one day be the Queen of a fantasy version of America?
