GOT: Take a Breath

I lost the bet I made with myself over what would be the last image of the season. I really thought they'd move Book III's epilogue to the end of Season 3, but they didn't.

Overall, the ep was sort of a break from last episode (which I sort of expected. You can't follow explosive with explosive), and I think that there was some focus on trying to show that despite everything there is some good in this world, focusing on.. ( Read more... )

It's the weirdest thing!

The  most notable moment was the time I was watching War Horse. There was this scene where the horse was galloping across the screen and out of frame and my dog ran up to the screen and when it ran out of frame, she ran to the window adjacent to the TV and continued looking for it.  (What?  Where did it go!  It ran this way.  I saw it!).

Last night during Game of Thrones guess the things that caught her attention?  Sandor Clegane and Arya galloping away from The Twins, and later when it was Jon Snow on horseback.   Again she ran up to the TV, standing on tippy-toes looking at the horsies.

And tonight, while watching The Borgias -- AGAIN!  Just when there was a series of horses on screen jangling along such that you heard the clatter of bits and saddles, she ran up and started barking at the TV.

There's just something about horses.

LOL! Maybe I should watch fewer costume dramas. :D
