Sunday TV - Woot!

Mad Men
I didn't even know that it was supposed to be new last night.  I only caught it because I was setting the DVR to recored TURN.
Peggy, I've been there, girl.  Been there a lot.  It sucks.
Go, Joan.  You rock.
And... I guess that GM injury last year was permanent for poor Ken.  Poor Ken.

Game of Thrones
- Let's hear it for weddings in Westeros!
- LOL @ Loras's burn of Jaime when Jaime was all "You're never going to marry Cersei" with Loras saying "Neither are you."  Burn.
- Another good burn, Oberyn pointing out that some countries find it distasteful when innocent women and children are killed... and isn't Myrcella lucky that she was sent to one (unlike Westeros) that does. Burn.
- Shae, Shae, Shae... you really aren't bright, are you, love?
- God, Theon's face when hearing about Robb... and when Bastard Bolton was hunting the girl.  We may have lost Joffrey, but prepare to hate Bastard Bolton to infinity as well.  Sick bastard.
- Poor Brienne's face when Cersei said Bri was in love with Jaime.  {{hugs Brienne}}
- Poor everydone during Joffrey's wedding entertainment.  Loras and Margery looked like they were going to hurl.  Granny Tyrell looked quietly seething.  Poor, poor Sansa looked like she wanted to die.  And of course, poor Tyrion. Joffrey had not one redeeming quality.  Not one.
- Long live King Tommen (and his kittens).  I'm serious, Jaime, if you want to redeem yourself on the King's Guard, I'd suggest looking out for Tommen and his kittens.
I did LOL at this portion of an interview with the producers re: this episode:

Weiss: To preempt objections, it is not feasible, on a production level, to have a person riding a pig.

But you looked into it.

Weiss: We did. We were told it was not fair to the pig.

Ah, pretty pig, somewhere Penny is marginally more happy because of that.

Once Upon A Time
-  Well... at least Ariel got her prince back... no thanks to Hook.
- I just KNEW Storybrooke Ariel was going to turn out to be the witch.
- Bad form, Hook.  And now your kiss is cursed.  Holy cow, what a weird spell.. his KISS is cursed.  *head shake*

Let's hear it for weddings in Westeros!

I imagine quick, quiet civil ceremonies will become very popular in Westeros.

"I love you. Will you marry me?"
"Do you hate my family that much?"

Long live King Tommen The Unexpected! (Hopefully not King Tommen The So Very, Very Screwed. What's a more realistic version of "Long live"? "Well live King Tommen?" "Quietly live King Tommen?" "Run like hell King Tommen?")

I'm serious, Jaime, if you want to redeem yourself on the King's Guard, I'd suggest looking out for Tommen and his kittens.

I'm just sad he never got to use his cybernetic Joffrey-slapping hand. Maybe he can break into the morgue? Oh, they have to bury him, don't they? That should be fun. All of Westeros lining up at the casket to slap the little fucker into hell...

Heh. Isn't that pretty much what Illyrio tells Tyrion when Tyrion sets on the idea of making Myrcella queen.

"Hey, what has your niece ever done to make you hate her that much?" ;)

"Run like hell King Tommen?"
And take your kittens with you!!!

Am I the only one who is bothered in the books that Jaime never considers that this is his son and can get really dangerous really fast?

Mad Men is back? *did not know this*

Joffrey is dead FINALLY, yay.

I wonder what the MM ratings will be because I totally did not know that it was returning last night. I just happened on it. Their marketing campaign clearly sucked.

re OUAT: dtissagirl theorizes, and I agree, that Jane E is working out all her unresolved Spike issues (and by unresolved, I mean she was a Spike fan like us who got screwed) in Hook, and I not only concur but also encourage Jane in her resolving. :)

I have to say, I love love love the whole no-kissing thing as it ratchets up the tension.

More power to Jane if so.

Right now, I actually think that ship may pay out.

I vowed years ago never to ship again, because that way lies annoyance, frustration and rampant producer machinations. Enjoying couples is fine, but not serious shipping -- I've been pissed off too many times. But damn if I don't really want those crazy kids Emma and Hook to work it out. I don't know how it happened. Dammit.

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

Heh. Totally agree on ship avoidance. I'm willing to do it only on very casual basis. But, casually speaking, it looks like this one is being set up to work out (at least in the short term). You don't set up a kissing curse unless you intend for characters to kiss.

[sourisvho.livejournal.com]

I was doing so well for so long with the not-shipping!

I pretty much figured Emma and Neal were end-game, despite my not really feeling it. But then they killed him off, so there went that assumption. So then I guess Hook became OTP viable in my head.

Maybe it's just a passing phase and I'll get over it, LOL!
