game of thrones
martin provides enough dirty realism for me to stomach the phantasmagoric nonsense. there are several particularly filthy fuck yous; two have been revealed on the show: the first was ned starks beheading, the second was the chopping off of jamie lannisters hand. the stark execution was early enough to suggest tone, but the lannister surprise caught me off-guard, set up beautifully over the first...

leggy lana in lala-land made cyclops by kooky curmudgeon with high-caliber chew toy cravings. dig the soccer mom wig. dig the mescal ramblings of past symphonic splendor. dig act two of death in d minor.

farewell, downton
its not that two main characters were killed off in one season its that those actors wanted off — ive kept the entire series at arms length for this very fucking reason: the show has always felt like a lark; a series like #deadwood was able to pull off that sort of seat-of-your-pants carriage ride because it was original and claustrophobic and fucking nuts, this, though sumptuous and...
