John Reese: What do I need?
Harold Finch: You need a purpose.


Thanks to a rec by Camilla, I've recently discovered Person of Interest. No spoilers, please, since I'm still watching the first half of the first season. I'm hooked!

The episode that really made me fall in love with the show is this one:

Person of Interest S01E04, "Cura Te Ipsum"

 John Reese: Maybe it's up to me to do what the good people can't. Or maybe there are no good people. Maybe there are only good decisions.

As for John Reese, I'm in love with his character, and Jim Caviezel is one of my favorite actors, so...if you want to talk about this amazing TV-show, feel free to leave a comment or suggest a guestpost!

And remember...you are being watched.

The first episode of Criminal Minds aired exactly nine years ago! It premiered September 22, 2005, on CBS.



Do you follow it?

I've been following it since the first episode, and it inspired some parts of my Twilight fic, Snare (although Snare isn't a crossover). 

Who's your favorite character?

I'm very fond of Dave Rossi. 

In this video, you can see all the different opening credits through the last nine years!

 

All the best,

Downton Abbey's new season is starting this week (in the UK).



Here's a preview:




And if you need to wait for the new season to be aired in the US, you can listen to the main theme song (beautiful piano performance) to get back into the right mood.



All the best!

I love Downton Abbey because of its fascinating historical setting and because of Maggie Smith's perfect interpretation of Lady Violet.

Here's something funny while we wait for the new season. The first episode is expected to be aired within a few weeks in UK (September 2014).

  • Downton Abbey Personality Quiz



Aren't there many fabulous characters to choose between?


One among many pearls: “Don’t be defeatist, dear, it’s very middle class.”

Enjoy!

Have you watched House of Cards? I devoured the first two seasons, and I'm waiting for the 3rd. 


On February 4, 2014, Netflix renewed House of Cards for a third season. [...] The first public casting call announcement for season 3 roles was made on May 19 for scenes that would begin shooting on June 12. Extra casting calls were announced on June 3. (Wikipedia)
So, we understand there are still some months to go; meanwhile...

If you've watched the last episode of Game of Thrones, you know what happened in the duel between Oberyn and the Mountain. 

If you haven't watched the episode or if you haven't read the books yet, don't read this article (spoilers ahead). 



By Katie M. Lucas

In light of Sunday's crushing trial by combat, HBO.com connected with Pedro Pascal, the actor behind Oberyn Martell. Pascal shares his analysis of the scene ("cathartic"), what it was like to hold a replica of his own skull, and his take on Oberyn's relationships with the women in his life.

[...]

HBO: Would you say that Oberyn is a feminist?

Pedro Pascal: Absolutely. Without choosing to be. It's just intrinsic and logical to him. Ellaria Sand is the love of his life because she is his equal, if not his superior, in certain ways. That's part of what makes him such a fierce man because he knows who to take his lead from.

I'm scared just thinking of the upcoming episode.



Three seasons of Game of Thrones taught us that awful events happen in the 9th episode...and we're getting there!

The similarities between the following two scenes [click on the link below] are evident. I'm curious about the outcome of the second one. It's (at least) the second time someone tries to frame my favorite character.




Will the next episode give us more answers? For sure, the preview is intriguing.

I've found this article, and it made me remember an important hint from the 3rd season. 

Recap: 
- Robb Stark: dead at the Red Wedding
- Joffrey "Baratheon": dead at the Purple Wedding

Who is the next one?



Here's a possible answer.


Meanwhile, I've finished the 1st book, A Game of Thrones, and I'm devouring the 2nd one, A Clash of Kings. The 4th season of the TV-show is currently following the second half of the 3rd book, A Storm of Swords.

Enjoy!

My favourite scene in the last episode was the one with (poor) Tyrion Lannister



I think many characters in A Song of Ice and Fire are based on a (sometimes very difficult) balance between what they've been given by their life and family and what they've chosen to become. Many of them are full of hate after the humiliations and traumas they had to endure. I'm in awe of Tyrion, because he's one of the characters who have suffered most, and yet he's one of the most generous. His own family would happily sacrifice him for their own interests, while he -- a rich, intelligent, powerful nobleman -- is ready to sacrifice himself for a poor lad (Podrick) or for a prostitute (Shae). 

You can watch it here:

   

The second video is the promo for the upcoming episode. Just 35 seconds to help you wait until next Sunday.

   

Enjoy!

If you haven't watched the last episode (aired 4/13, 2014), "The Lion and the Rose", stop and catch up.

I've watched the last scene twice, the second time in slow motion, and I'm working on theories. I haven't read all the books yet (I'm still reading the first one), so my ideas are based only on the aired episodes.



First of all, in one of the previous episodes Pycelle said that poison is the preferred weapon of women, cravens, and eunuchs.
We have one eunuch, Varys, and a few women who were very close to the crime scene.

I've noticed that Margaery Tyrell didn't taste the pie. Joffrey clears his throat just after eating the first mouthful of pie, and only then he asks for the wine, complaining because the pie is too dry.

In her conversation with Sansa Stark, Lady Olenna Tyrell said "Killing a man at a wedding ... What sort of monster would do such a thing? As if men need more reasons to fear marriage." Those words sound so ominous after the end of the episode. While the others are still processing what's happening, Lady Olenna is the first one who yells "Help the poor boy! Idiots, help your king!" Doesn't she seem too ready to react?

What are your theories?

If you want to test other ideas and characters, this post will give you some hints

Enjoy!

Do you follow Game of Thrones? I fell in love with that show last fall, thanks to Camilla's rec. 
As Serena Davies pointed out in her review, it "gives you everything from dragons and deadly zombie-like creatures to high level politicking". 

Are you reading the books as well? I'm currently reading the first (huge) novel.

Here's one of the most poignant moments from last episode:

Tyrion Lannister: The king is very grateful that you traveled all this way for his wedding.
Oberyn Martell: Let us speak truth here. Joffrey is insulted. I am only the second son after all.
Tyrion Lannister: Well, speaking as a fellow second son, I have grown rather used to being the family insult. [Oberyn chuckles] Why did you come to King's Landing, Prince Oberyn?
Oberyn Martell: I was invited to the royal wedding.
Tyrion Lannister: I thought we were speaking truth.
Oberyn Martell: The last time I was in the capital was many years ago. Another wedding. My sister Elia and Rhaegar Targaryen, the Last Dragon. My sister loved him. She bore his children. Swaddled them, rocked them, fed them at her own breast. Elia wouldn't let the wet nurse touch them. And beautiful, noble Rhaegar Targaryen left her for another woman. That started a war and the war ended right here when your father's army took the city...
Tyrion Lannister: I wasn't actually present.
Oberyn Martell: And butchered those children. My nephew and niece. Carved them up and wrapped them in Lannister cloaks. And my sister, you know what they did to her? [Tyrion doesn't answer] I'm asking you a question.
Tyrion Lannister: I've heard rumors.
Oberyn Martell: [chuckles] So have I. The one I keep hearing is that Gregor Clegane the Mountain raped Elia and split her in half with his great sword.
Tyrion Lannister: I wasn't there. I don't know what happened.
Oberyn Martell: If the Mountain killed my sister, then your father gave the order. Tell your father I'm here. And tell him the Lannisters aren't the only ones who pay their debts.

What are we getting in the next episode?

Here you go:
