I tried getting into Asylum but couldn't. I DID like Ghost House. Didn't see Season 3. Season 4 looks cool so far though.

HOLY SHIT SNACKS! Just got done watching Game of Thrones Season 4 finale and aside from one minor gripe the whole episode was fantastic.
I'm gonna put spoiler tags cause I got to talk about stuff and can't just use vague euphemisms to describe what is going on in my head right now. So if you don't want to be spoiled and have yet to read the books or watch the show or both, please for the love of the baby jesus and whatever deity you worship DON'T READ ON!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
**Edit, my thing before was too long and I figured this video does it better. Same rule still applies, don't read or watch if you don't want spoilers**
It is getting harder to watch this awesome show and not be able to talk about it fully with any one cause the ones who do watch the show don't read the books so there is only so much I can say about it because they don't want spoilers to which I want to yell READ THE DAMNED BOOKS THEN AND HURRY UP WITH IT!! SHIT OR GET A CROSSBOW IN THE GUT! END OF SPOILERS!

As a surprise twist I'm watching the show when it's on TV. We're two seasons behind.

Watching Orange is the New Black. It starts off rather slow, but it grows in to one hell of a show. Man, oh man.

I watched a little bit of Sale of the Century on the Game Show Network while eating breakfast.
This was one of the questions: "When there's something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call?"
A contestant buzzes in: "Mr... Rogers?"

I've just finished the first season of Sherlock. It's a very good show, I love the characters and the acting is top.

Why do I always have to start watching shows I later find out were cancelled after first season? Currently watching Almost Human.

24's episode this week came, went "Hello" with a smile and then continued to clock me in the gut for an hour with a mallet.

I KNOW!
I am angry with Jojen's death. All the other ones I'm fine with as they helped with the story. I heard some people say that Jojen had to die to give Bran's journey to the Three-Eyed Crow/Raven consequences but you can have that without anyone dying!
Have him injured, lose an eye or something. Look at Jaime, his return to Kings Landing and his family had enormous consequences but he didn't die.
So stupid. But I saw a thing on GRRM's LiveJournal that said Happy Father's Day and I remembered what was left of the book and it clicked; "OH MY GOD THIS IS WHERE TYWIN DIES!!!!"
And sure enough when it got to the last chunk of the show, BOOM! crossbow for the win!.
As to the Hound's "death" I don't think he is really dead. Left for dead sure like in the book but there is still the possibility of him not being truely killed. In a show that can have men come back to life by praying to a fire god or dying beyond the Wall it isn't beyond the scope of possibility of him not being dead.
My rule of thumb is like most of the internet, is that if they don't die on screen or there isn't a corpse to prove it, then they aren't dead yet. Proof of life or death is needed before you can say so. A person can say they saw their corpse off screen but so do people who say they saw Big Foot or a UFO. Unless you have absolute proof of this, not dead.

My girlfriend, an avid reader of the series, actually has the same theory as you. She's fairly certain that the Hound is still alive. I know this because she accidentally spoiled his "death" for me a couple weeks ago. We were talking about Aria and mentors, and I didn't specify when I said "Honestly, I don't even think HE is dead. We didn't see him die on screen, you know?" and she goes "How'd you know the Hound dies?" and I'm like "... What? =<" and she was like "Wait. No. What are you talking about?" and I'm like "I was talking about Syrio Forel" and she's like "Ohh.... I though you meant The Hound." and I'm like "No, dude. Hound dies?" THERE WENT THAT ONE FOR ME.
I honestly need to stay off the internet. Almost all of the deaths were spoiled from me by someone, somehow, for this season. The only death I didn't know about completely was Shea's. Tywin's was a surprise, as well, but only in that I didn't know when it was coming. I knew of his death, though. Jojen's death surprised the Hell out of the girlfriend though. That said, I asked her if it happened in the books and she admitted she usually skims through Bran's parts because they're essentially 30 pages of "I'm a wolf. I'm hungry. Bark. I hope one day I'll be a greenseer" each.
