God damn it, I was not supposed to care about Jon and Ygritte :/
I think Jon's inner koala died when he saw that arrow shoot her. Also Rose Leslie - that moment she was looking at him and from anger went to smiling but still fighting with her own self because he left her but how can you not smile at this stupid puppy face - that was amazing acting. I rarely mention that but Ygritte was such a great character
Last episode is now the only Game of Thrones episode I didn't rewatch.
Ending the battle ep 2/3 into the battle. Especially when they could easily make this episode the one that's over an hour long by moving that scene from finale.
By now I'm sure tumblr has spoiled the last 1/3 for you. If it did I'm so mad because I was doing so much to keep people for finding out. The previously on clip they'll show before the episode 10 is online and it blatantly reminds you of the thing I was hoping they were clever enough to try and make the audience forget. I'm just so disgusted by their overwhelming bias.
It actually comes to my 2 most anticipated moments in one ep. But who knows if they even show what is happening explicitly in one moment and even include the other?
I've been dealing with a lot of 'don't get excited you may be disappointed' comments.. Are people under impression that the excitement is something one can control? It's like sneezing. If you like something, if you are a fan, it's natural to get excited. Especially when you read the books and you inevitably imagine the scenes. I always loved that I can get passionate about things. I kinda feel bad for those who can't.
But lately it's not been as much fun as it used to be with the show. If the epilogue of book 3 is not on the show this year, I will now only watch it for Stannis and Cersei. I'm done fangirling over this show if that happens. I'm so disenchanted with the way this season is structured - if the payoff is not this year...even if they include that somewhere down the road, I'm sick of waiting. I've been frustrated as a book reader, repulsed by their bias towards certain characters and more than anything just annoyed because they were handed a wonderful material and they really approached it in a very disappointing way. My enthusiasm has been burning out because the things I was really hoping to see are either disappointing or not in the show at all (possibly). It all HANGS on one scene now. I'm either in completely or I'm out apart from these 2 characters. And if I'm in, I'm gonna be in like never before. It's my favorite scene we're talking about here.
If my tweets are happy expect what may be my final recap of the show on Tuesday. If they're 'I don't care anymore' expect it on Thursday.
It's now been 5 weeks since I saw new Stannis scene. That's another thing - having Dillane there and showing him for 10 minutes a season is just awful. I actually find it very disrespectful to a wonderful actor when he is not given scenes while Emilia Clarke wanders around and German porn actress gets to show off their atrocious acting for 3 seasons now.
There wasn't supposed to be RF today but I was typing for 8h today and I figured what the hell. I cannot feel my fingers anyways. You know that The Office scene where Idris Elba who plays the boss says to John Krasinski 'give me a rundown' and then Jim is like 'sure' and then he says to camera 'what the hell is a run down?'. Yeah, that's my job every single day. With a shit load of running through the corridors of a courthouse with several pounds of legal documents and court cases in my tiny arms.
And then GoT fucks me over for a good start of the week. No more.
Sorry for those sour grapes in RF today, guys.
I didn't have the time to see any new films lately, nor have I written anything in my drafts for reviews. There's gonna be a lot of Soundtrack Wednesday posts in the future because they are fastest to make and between working 8h and studying 4h a day all I want at the end of the day is sit down and watch The Thick of It over and over again.
I do have actual news for you today and that is that Sarah Paulson revealed her character in American Horror Story: Freakshow and it's apparently a woman with two heads. I guess we will be seeing only a side of Paulson's face a lot this season as this is gonna be some expensive CGI to pull off, at least for the show's budget which I imagine is not very big.
What else, what else...well I have 4 days off work next week so I'm gonna try to write something for you guys, those of you who don't watch GoT may curse that time of the year my blog is mostly that but let me tell you most of the movies I've seen lately were so mediocre I don't even feel like reviewing them and with GoT I at least always have something to say. But new Visual Parallels is coming!
