Game of Thrones Season 1 & 2

How many puns can be made out of snow?




I watched part of season one when it first aired, but lost track of the characters and couldn't keep up with the intrigues.  I started watching it again last month and I'm hooked on Peter Dinklage.

Moral grey zone. Explore how your exposure changes your way of thinking about things.  Adapt or die.

Byzantium

Secret vampire society, no girls allowed.





Retelling, can walk in daylight, no sparkles, everyone out to get them, etc.
Lovely costumes during the back story bits, bleak scenery of winter in the English seaside, love, loss, greed, redemption.  I thought the ending a little too pat, as though they had an alternate but those crazy Americans in the test audience wanted a happy finish.   Saoirse Ronin was amazing as usual.  And I could watch Gemma Arterton in anything.
