OK I have no idea who you mean... lol I don't know, kill Supergirl and Bug-Eyed Man and Selena Kyle. OK I have no idea who you mean... lol I don't know, kill Supergirl and Bug-Eyed Man and Selena Kyle.

Thank God Martin is a writer and not a spoken word artist or author *yawn* I said previously that Michele was one of my fave directors for this show. What I don't get about directing the show is they must have a hard time with what to order (probably why directors tend to do back to back episodes) given the fact they'd have to travel between Ireland, Morocco, Iceland, etc...

I must have some stupid friends, because a number of people didn't even really pay attention to what that revelation meant. I liked how it was done in a low key manner (as have some other revelations this season in particular.)

I felt she was acknowledging that--it wasn't so specific.

And new Daario, and ex Nashville Michiel Huisman apparently is so popular he's as of this last episode on Orphan Black (which is a bit surprising since for legal reasons they usually go for Canadian actors first.)

I thought that scene was brilliant. Michelle MacLaren, who is becoming one of my fave episode directors, also staged it wonderfully. For me it was all about how \ they’re both playing a game and, crucially, both know they’re playing a game. But they also obviously love this part of the game on some level that it seems almost like the only bit of joy they can hold on to, so they both agree to play it. If that makes ANY sense. Ron Carlivati should read the comments about creators not obsessing over the internet. As for *that* scene, I'm not really sure how at this point they can make any comment that will make anyone happy. Yeah, they screwed up by a not knowing it would gt such a strong reaction, and by publicly not even being on the same page, but... I know these past two episodes with their huge deviations from the books have made the book nazis mad, but storywise most of the changes make a lot of sense. Bran's story was pretty dull in the books, but to show more of it and add detail has helped. (While Danny's new plan makes a lot of sense, I admit that it does make me think we'll see random scenes of her doing nothing there until the final season 7 or whenever... meh.) Oh and boo to the season being half over.

And Robson and Jerome are THE THE worse. I mean I liked the Stock/Aitken acts (which was when they left Waterman and their music became even more cheezy--Niki French who was actually a hit here, Scooch, etc) but Robson and Jerome were horrible covers for middle aged moms. The show they were pulled from, Soldier Soldier was a hit here in Canada, so I was mildly aware of them, though their songs weren't played here. AND he was blond--it is funny given the role he plays on the show. Some random, but less surprising UK actors popped up and it took me a while to recognize them, like the girl from Downton Abbey and the girl from Skins. (Well, and the guy from Skins, but I recognized him straight away.) A s for the Dothraki--didn't they just mention them? I'm always hopeless at keeping track with all of that...

You were biased from the moment the earlier guy came on screen But a 16 year old queen? Wouldn't she, even in Westboros prefer a smarmy looking boyband guy than someone who looks like he's from Mumford and Sons? I just find the casting weird. Apparently it was NOT due to people disliking the previous guy--but he got the lead in Transporter 4 or whatever number they're at, so asked to be let go. So I would have thought they could find someone with the right look than budget Eric Bana. With all of the characters on this show and the fact that minor characters, like Daario have minutes on screen and confusing names that sound like other names, distinctive looks are important. I don't see it myself, but apparently many people actually thought the new Daario looked like a slightly younger variation of Bronn.

That's exactly what I was trying to say, only better said. It's just the physical type (and I think the fact, which you may not agree with that the new guy looks, frankly, older than the other one) that makes him less distinctive to the men she already has serving her, etc.

I think he's been written out of Nashville for good--like many characters on that show he seemed to justbe a stop gap to fill story while they still get to the ultimate pairings. It's funny how apparently so many people didn't realize he was a recast of an old character. Maybe I only did because I knew the recast was coming. I know many didn't like the previous Daario, but I thought he fit the role a lot better--the pretty boy, much closer to Daenarys' age who is arrogant and despite herself she sorta is attracted to. It makes sense given how young she is. My problem with the recast--and he's probably a better actor--is frankly he LOOKS nearly as old as the other guys who have pursued her.

Yeah, but do you think Cersei is gonna let that happen? (Oh and hi again, everyone!)

He wasn't bumped to contract, so... Yeah, I think TV just has not handled the fact that a drama can be 30 minutes...

Fair enough. I don't think you're meant to see it as a good thing. Well actually the show likes to be ambiguous, but that's how I see it.

Post-mortem from the creator http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/03/09/looking-season-finale/

AhI love Tovey. But I agree about Kevin. As for bottoming--it seemed to just fit into the power play issues that are really why K/P aren't a good match (IMHO.) It just seemed a no-brainer to Patrick that when he's with his slightly older, more powerful boss he just bends over...

It's back (though I've heard no update about his partner's cancer--I hope he's doing ok.) http://www.channel4.com/info/press/news/russell-t-davies-explores-21st-century-gay-life-in-new-drama-for-c4

I've been listening to the "Talking..." podcasts and it sounds like the writers intend the Patrick/Richie relationship to go into season 2. I'm mixed about that. As usual, I agree completely with DifficultDiva's take on the Patrick/Kevin situation. After this 20 second clip HBO released, I'm more worried about the fate of Peri-peri chicken in San Francisco

That was a storyline borrowed from the UK original--but it made a LOT more sense there. Just an example of how when the US show was based closely on the UK version they took stuff that was relatively subtle and complex and somehow removed the subtlety. Speaking of the UK version, I am very excited for Russell Davies return to channel 4 with his interlocking three new shows this Fall. http://www.channel4.com/info/press/news/russell-t-davies-explores-21st-century-gay-life-in-new-drama-for-c4%C2"'> I wonder if Showtime regrets passing on Cucumber (horrible name even though I now know the reference)?

I know, isn't it great? Exactly. And aside from Auggie, who really is his own worst enemy, I appreciate that I at least understand where these characters come from when they do things that make me shake my head That would be my only issue, if the motivation made no sense.

Ah now it's more clear--yes he did call him a !@#$%^&*]. Sunspear for some reason I thought you watched One Life to Live so woulda recognized him. Taoi, I'm a faithful reader of the AVClub but rarely talk on there--though I did post the link as well as a bit, when the discussion got to Queer as Folk about Russell Davies two interconnected gay shows coming to the UK this Fall. I'm Eric Henwood-Greer there I just use my facebook account. No kidding--for everyone involved. Well except for the sister. I love just the nonchalant suggestion that Patrick will never get married, lol.

Wait, what neighbour of Patrick's? SFK's friend, TJ, plays CJ the whore Is that clear? Michael Lannan was interviewed for CBC radio's daly interview show, Q, speaking largely about complaints against the show. http://www.cbc.ca/q/blog/2014/03/03/hbo-looking-creator-michael-lannan/

Very hot friend. You've missed his sex scene then--bad friend. No Evans was just mentioned by Patrick and they showed him quickly. You're thinking of Kevin and John his boyfriend who we met for the first time last week.

Did she try to hook them up? All I remember is he pointed out that growing up the guy was nice to him outside of school and a jerk in school and they showed him for all of ten seconds (but I was pretty certain it was Evans before the credits.) Your friend was in last week's episode? Why are you watching out of order As for Dom, I think his behaviour kinda makes sense. He's used to always doing everything on his own and not accepting the help from friends.

(And I realize it was the same wedding--Gus knew John. I dunno why I was confused by that.) You're right I think. It just seemed odd that he was listed with the main speaking cast and not in smaller font with the wedding photographer, etc.

I was confused--did the two weddings share a reception space? For $40 grand I wouldn't want to share I found it kinda funny that Scott Evans had a full credit even though he was shown for half a second and had no dialogue.
