Those of us who watched The Tudors have seen Natalie Dormer's "full picture."

Maybe it's just because I dig older women, but Melisandre presses more right buttons than Margaery does.

The random nudity thing has always been a weird argument to me given the source material.  Martin parades naked women around for five minutes in the books too.

I thought it was a great diversion.  Not every moment of every episode needs to be super serious and moving the plot forward.  Taken purely as humor, that little side jaunt with Pod was perfect.

I guess I'm in the minority then, but that kind of wishy washy setting just compounds the problem.  I mean, I understand why after you explained it, but it'd probably be way more enjoyable for me personally if they didn't compromise for the audience.

I've been watching this the last week or so on DVD so I'm quite a bit ahead of the AV Club at the moment.  Dutch's progression up to where I am (I just finished Strays in season three) is devastating in general.

Careful.  Make a joke like that and somebody's bound to start a non-profit and start translating Doctor Who into Russian, passing it off as the original (if only in jest).  And then who knows where things will end up.

That makes a whole lot more sense then.  Thanks!

So should I give this a shot?  I mean, I'm a little ways into the first episode and there are some things bothering me.  For one, I can't figure out what city this show is set in.  I thought I heard somebody say New York, but if that's the case then there's all kinds of things wrong - pounds instead of dollars, a cop

Chancellor Gorkon!

I really liked this.  Enough that I might have to reconsider the group of friends I keep.  I don't have any with tastes that allow me to recommend this and it sucks.

For those of you that have watched this show on air, is it true that Sundance has been cutting to commercials in the middle of scenes, literally mid-action or mid-sentence?

One might assume that DVRs and modems don't exist.

Replace Kentucky with Alaska and I wouldn't have to change anything else about myself.  So, yeah, I pick Raylan too.

I think one of the goals of this season (and I believe this might have been mentioned somewhere) is to show that Raylan and the rest of the Marshalls aren't as removed from Harlan culture as they think they are, much to their detriment at times.

You guys need to remember that government workers or not, this is still the heart of Kentucky.  Nobody takes prostitutes seriously in that part of the country, it's just part of the culture.  It doesn't help that Ellen May is constantly in some sort of danger and lacks the ability to stand up for herself in any way,

I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated by the fact that Andrea stopped to cry and talk while getting the pliers.  I mean, seriously.  Milton wasn't going to live which means that no matter what you're against a time limit.  She signed her own death warrant by being chatty with a dead guy.  Typical Andrea.

Those classes have limited seating and there are far worse shows out there that could use it.  Like The Following or The Walking Dead or Once Upon a Time.

I really want to know what's up with The Following and Natalie Zea.  Are they paying her more on that show?  Did she go because she thought it would be interesting?

I love how the additional notes devolve the further down the list you get until finally, the exasperated, "I swear to God."  Classic.
