I am determined to resist any more spoilers. LOL!

Aarrgh! I want to watch, but I won't. I don't want to be spoilt any more than I already am.

Yay, the amazing Lennie James will appear as Morgan in season 4. I just hope that Morgan is not killed off. https://twitter.com/SFXmagazine/status/358274530520743937

I re-watched the promo, damn it is so exciting! Terrifying too. I am afraid about who of the regular cast dies this season.

Did you see where it looked like someone had killed rats and put them at the fence in the inside? Maybe there are several acts of sabotage, maybe more than one person too. The other side of the prison where Tyreese and Sacha entered was compromised so it is not like the prison completely secure if humans come after them.

It looks like Tyreese beats up Rick in a rage. Also, I think that there is someone in the group must be working with the Governor or against Rick because it seems like someone lets the walkers into the prison which is why they are talking about leaving and do seem to leave. I also caught a glimpse of Daryl and Beth close. I wonder if something happens between them. Carol teaching the children about knife safety was very cool. Here is the YT video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxg27QsaIEY

The promo makes me wonder if Sacha dies causing Tyreese to lose it.

Damn, that promo rocks! The music really makes it work. My heart is beating so fast. I cannot wait for October 13th.

If anyone should have gotten the supporting nomination from GOT, it is Jack Gleeson who has been outstanding and constantly overlooked as Joffery, not Charles Dance. I saw Diana Rigg got a nomination for best guest star, very nice. Well, as far as I am concerned Kerry Washington getting a nomination is as much a joke as Emilia's nomination, but neither is going to win so that is fine.

Yeah, Peter Dinklage got an Emmy nomination! Well deserved, although he should have been in the lead actor category. I cannot believe that Emelia Clarke got nominated for an Emmy, dreadful actress. I cannot see Charles Dance getting nominated as his role is far to small in that huge ensemble cast.

I am not surprised that you liked GOT. Guess, this means you will be joining us on next season's show thread.

Animated gif of Glenn and Maggie. I think the pictures are from an upcoming EW article. http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/i/2013/07/15/Maggie-Glenn-EW-kiss_612x750.gif

Don't know if I missed it posted on the thread, but Michael Graziadei had a brief guest role on Longmire last night. It was a surprise to me anyway.

Gawd, I just switched to A&E and saw Kevin Smith talking to Dania about season 4 and my heart started beating so fast. I love TWD so much. Four months, how will I survive?!

Here is another NY Times article that does a better job explaining how the legislation closes clinics: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2013/07/03/us/ap-us-xgr-abortion-restrictions-texas.html?hp

Michonne is pretty kick ass wielding that katana on that horse too.

I love that Tyreese is in the poster.

What if a girl is raped and cannot escape her father/stepfather until later in her pregnancy? The fact is that women are not lining up around the block to have late term abortions and minority who do are struggling with tragic reasons. The real is issue here is that the anti-choice people are using the 20 week limit as the first way to whittle away on women's reproductive rights. Adding the strict standards on the clinic and medical personnel will eliminate most abortion clinics in these states. Stay classy, Rick Perry: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/27/rick-perry-wendy-davis_n_3510844.html

This NY Times article below at least has a sentence on why the bill would shut down clinics. Basically, the Texas (and Virginia the one which passed) bill requires that the clinics have the same surgical and building standards as hospitals which would be financial untenable. Also, the bill demands that doctors at abortion clinics get privileges at nearby hospitals which is unlikely to be given since the hospitals must answer to boards and the state. As for the 20 week cut off, some women discover health problems later in their pregnancies and have to make tough medical decisions, while other women cannot get to abortion clinics early because their state only has one and they cannot scrap together the money to get there. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/27/us/politics/texas-abortion-bill.html?pagewanted=all

Ouch, Maria went there. Too bad she made it personal instead of standing up for women's rights and directly lambasting Serena's misogynist comments about the young girl who was raped and sympathizing with her rapists. Serena's comments really disappointed me. She is clearly only interested in women's rights when it directly effects her e.g., her complaints about women tennis players getting less pay and not getting to play on center courts.

Strange that Jesse Soffer is getting so much work. He is so blah. I am watching Stephen Martines aka Colton Scott on Burn Notice right now. He looks insanely hot. I saw him in real life once at one of the soap events. He is even better in looking in person. He is crazy handsome. Anyway, looks like he got hair implants because the last time I saw him on The Closer, he was going bald.

I had no idea these existed. Now I am addicted to watching them. House Stark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHBqHtOR7R4 House Targaryen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NddW6BlLKqo

I think that we are a society with a variety of gender issues so it is reflected in the shows that we watch. GOT does have its share, possibly more because it is situated in a world where women do not have a lot of power. However, some of the women do have agency and fight for independence. Yet there are so many unlikable people, mostly men that almost everyone seems to have difficult lives regardless of gender. There is more female nudity than men on the show though which can be a problem for some people.

I definitely did not mean my comment to suggest that Lena Headley deserves anything good or bad. It is just one of those things that happens.

Unlikely, unless she gets a bonus if it takes in a certain profit. She is just going to have to keep working and live modestly until she climbs out of debt or she can marry a very wealthy guoy.
