Opinions can differ, obviously, but the other discussions I've seen out there are even more highjacked by crazy book fans so I count this one as relatively sane.

It's the best commentary out there.

If you're crazy, I am too. Brianna as a character isn't all that likable, and the actress playing her is struggling, particularly against the force that is Catriona Balfe.

Yep. She was annoying in the books and her presentation in the show has not improved my opinion.

YES. This was my issue all the way through the first season. Book Jamie was a seasoned, battle-hardened man who had to take up the responsibility of his land and tenants from a young age.

Agreed. Their insistence that the show needed to stand on its own merits and not just be fan service was very fair.

NASCARlander.

All Daryl needs is a shower. Nothing about Glenn is hot.

Pedant alert: It's "doddle" not "dawdle."

She sounds like the high-pitched whining of a mosquito in your ear.
