What are they setting up for? Pete might have an affair? Megan might fail as an actress? Peggy / Don still don't get along all the time? I just don't see those being very big stakes for the rest of the season. After so many excellent episodes this season, I felt like this one had very little plot advancement or character development. I just feel like last night made the storylines/themes for this season feel a bit redundant and overdone. Get back to Sally!
I see what you're doing there Walt. Sitting there all casually in the backyard where you made your son barf tequila and grew your kid poisoning plants.
VOTE MAXWELL OR PUKE/ALMOST DIE.
I think we should reserve Immigrant Song for some Jon Snow badassery - the whole lyric about coming "from the land of ice and snow" doesn't quite fit the Lannister's down in King's Landing.
I'm almost inclined to suggest something upbeat like Fool in the Rain because Joffrey getting bitch slapped makes me feel so damn giddy. I literally fist pumped during that scene last night.
And yeah, Robert Plant: show yourself to the NERDS!
Alan Ball shows always have great title sequences. Six Feet Under is probably my all-time favorite. True Blood is excellent too (despite the show being terrible garbage).
That was giving me serious anxiety because all I could think about was the rat scene from the "American Psycho" book and nooooooooooooo, not going back to that place
I often wonder if Margaery is intentionally trying to pull off the sexy look to overcompensate for being a Renly's beard, kinda like "YEAH, my husband & my king gets all of this (but not really because he fancies my brother instead so I'm just gonna sit here and make all you bitches jealous anyway"
Yeah, but how many TV shows actually have clever titles? The only ones I can think of are "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Peep Show" because they don't automatically tell you what the show is about but make sense once you watch the show.
At least Patricia Field didn't have any involvement in this. But I was really offended by that one girl's pink velour sweatsuit and Tiffany bracelet. I didn't think anybody still dressed like that.
It's weird you say that because I actually compared this show to Curb last night. I feel like Girls can have the same polarizing effect on the audience that Curb does. I love Curb more than anything, but can totally understand when people don't like it because they don't like Larry David. It is one of those shows where if you really think about it, people CAN justifiably dislike it. I feel like that applies for Girls as well. I hated it, but can understand why people like it and in return, I hope they can understand why I don't.
I didn't like it because I couldn't relate to it at all and in some strange way, I was kind of loving how much I hated watching the show. But the more I think about, if I were to make a TV show about my post-college years and how I was completely independent, had plenty of my own money, and was still a miserable asshole, I'm sure not many people would find that interesting and/or relatable either. So I guess the point is yes Kelly, we are all terrible.
