Watched last night's episode of Game of Thrones and even though I know what was gonna happen at the end of the episode, they managed like the Red Wedding episode to make me cringe and squirm in my seat.
I was like the stereotypical black person at the theater yelling at stupid people on screen not to do what they are about to do, and then they do it anyway which I then yell at them that "I told them not to do it didn't I?"
Now it is Summer time and TV will be in a dry well of re-runs and crappy shows I just don't care for.....actually that isn't entirely true, Penny Dreadful from Showtime looks really good. It is like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen where you have an assortment of Victorian era characters all coming together. They already have Dr. Frankenstein and his Creature (who was giving a name when he was hired into a theater group as Caliban from The Tempest which is a rather on the nose name) and Mina from Bram Stoker's Dracula's father is looking for her with the help of a medium played by Eva Green. So already we have Frankenstein's and Dracula's story coming together in this show. With mentions of Jack the Ripper so we might possibly see him or her too (they never found him/her so no one knows if The Ripper was a woman.)
So I got that to tide me over when Game of Thrones wraps up in two weeks. Next Sunday is Ep. 9 which is usally the episode when shit hits the fan and some big things happen which is hard considering a lot of big moments already happened so it is hard to guess just how big the fight coming next week will be.
