Yes, which is why her character in the book is borderline unreadable and unrelateble. But Lena Headey has so much talent that it hurts to see the audience repeatedly allied against her just because she hates Tyrion.

Yeah, but Oberyn never really learned he'd made a mistake, it just destroyed him, meaning it was less of a lesson and more of a slap of a ruler on the back of the head.
Which then splits like a ripe cantaloupe

It's too bad I just don't care. Not when he never expresses any frustration with being a bastard, which might make him more compelling. Most really good bad guys are interesting, like Tywin, but Ramsay is just a sadist with informed skills who's motivations come from an artificially attached family. He's like the…

I hear you and agree with you on this. It's not that it's joyless, it's that in the urge to deconstruct the fantasy tropes the show often overlooks why they exist in the first place in favor of merely showing the characters they are wrong.

Except when it comes to Cercei and Ramsey Snow. I'll take Shoshanna and Jessa commiserating about death over them any day.

Okay, this is basically me ranting but 2/3 of this episode was really fine stuff and the rest was awful. I was aware it was leading up to Oberyn and The Mountain's fight, so I guess I shouldn't have expected sunshine and daisies, but I've really had it with everything to do with Ramsey and Reek. Maybe in the book it's…

"I just shot Marvin in the face," Aldous Leekie edition.

Lots of potential that went nowhere imo.

It's funny, he played a similarly nervous character in Dexter, but in that he was also insufferable because he was a central character, while in this he's kind of endearing in his haplessness.

Huh, I never new he did all this dramatic work before Sunny…

No, Sheriff Thurman was a shocking choice, but it also made complete sense because it started Molly on her own arc.
They won't have Molly die because she hasn't finished that arc, but they WILL leave her in grave condition in order to show the stakes for her, and to make Gus take the case more seriously now that he's…

His crack was being tracked down at that exact moment by Wrench and Numbers, and losing his gun in the process.
It was a very Chigurh-ish moment.

If her head detachs in the midst of more wild sex with someone I will officially call this show more surprising then AHS.

Dorian's thing reminded me of an episode of Ripper Street where the killer was developing the first prototype camera.
Seems the creators took the same notes…

Also how Victor seemed more charmed by her literary references then other assets.

Which is why his best movie was "Lucky Number Sleven"?

I can't even HEAR the irish in her's because my ears are straining for that Billie Piper twang of the tongue.
It may be hard for viewers, but I'm impressed how deep she's immersed herself in the role.

It was a really unique take on the Frankenstein creature I thought. Especially how he seemed to assume a much more human manner thanks to recalling memories from his past life.

I'm disappointed one of the episodes isn't called "Conte Cruel"

I had this crazy idea that Ethan would turn out to be a werewolf, only
he wouldn't be the one committing the murders and it would really be his brother or some other family member, to show the curse runs in the family.
I'm not sure if I can support this with any real
evidence, except it seems like the sort of twist a…
