I don't think that Shaw is necessarily the main character. The viewer spends more time with David (all those years alone on the spaceship) and naturally starts to wonder what he's "thinking" and what his motivations may be. Shaw is all exposition ("that's what I want to believe so that's it") whereas David is all…

I'd almost forgotten about the score! There were CLEAR riffs from the 1978 Superman movie theme, right? It was so incredibly distracting. Am I the only one?! http://www.youtube.com/watc…

My gripe/misunderstanding about the movie is why have someone who can't feel emotions, particularly fear, the center of a scary movie?

I'm rereading the books in tandem with the show and am a little worried about the total lack of Jeyne Poole. Without Jeyne, there's no Reek, right?

My reading on Stannis was always that he really was weak, hence his
easy manipulation by that evil Lord of Light temptress. Almost no one
respects him and he seems to not have any real human connections with
any character which is why he takes social advice given to him by less

While the Lilith ladies got worse as the season went on, I always thought that their initial purpose was to seem like a group with whom Veronica could fit in. Her rapport with Nish, and the suggestion that Nish could be a mentor, set up the possibility that maybe in college, Veronica would find like-minded women to…
