I'm like the Lord of the Fucking Dance.

How do people who haven't read the books keep up with the show? How do you keep track of the characters? Also, I can't believe how many fundamental changes they're making. Like I stated earlier, I think of the show and the series as completely different entities so I don't care, but they're painting some characters in completely different lights (Drogo! Not quite so rapey in the books! Cat, not pushing Ned to King's Landing!). I find it hard to deal with reactions from people who haven't read the books because I just want to tell them, noooo, reason A is not why character X did Z, haha. The show leaves out a lot of nuances that are in the books, which I totally get because how else would you condense a thousand-page book in twelve hours, but I see people bashing characters for all the wrong reasons and I'm just like aaargh, BUT YOU ARE WRONG. :P

I can't stress this enough: if you haven't read the books but are watching the show, PICK UP THE DAMN BOOKS. You'll be able to appreciate the show much more! It's SO much fun watching the episode and recognizing all the little details they put in the show, and comparing the two.

( Anyway, spoilers for 'The Kingsroad'! )

I still can't believe how perfect this entire cast is.

I realize that it's nowhere near April yet, but the recently released ten minute long Game of Thrones promo gave me enough material to gap that bridge :D Watch/join if you're looking forward to the new show!

I'm sad Caprica was cancelled :( I don't even watch the show, but I had planned on catching up with it (still do, actually). Meh. This comment sums up how I feel quite well:

I'm getting really, really, really tired of "SyFy". They don't deserve the name, even if its spelling is stylized. They're the "paranormal ghost huge monster in the lake reality slop jizz channel".

Seriously, buy a show, run a pilot, wait an entire year, then cut the show in half only to resume it early, change the night, and then complain that it's not doing well and cancel it, only to buy up another show from the same franchise, so that they can cancel it, too, this time two years from now?

Fuck SyFy. Fuck 'em.

Things that are awesome: this, this, and this. You guys, I haven't been on Tumblr since September 10th. Do I miss it? FUCK NO. I'm not going to deny Tumblr isn't an inspiring place with all the beautiful photos and picspams that are posted, but I SO agree with what the above posters are saying: Tumblr is like crystal meth shared with a bunch of people you know vaguely from somewhere but have no idea who they actually are, while LJ is a glass of great wine and a chunk of AWESOME cheese shared together with a group of people whose names you actually know.

So this might be a little redundant seeing as I haven't actually looked at Tumblr for over a month but plus I haven't actually made icons or picspams in forever, but I won't be posting there anymore. I swear this is not a lol flounce or anything, I DO appreciate Tumblr for what it is, which is a fun website where pretty stuff is posted, but FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS LIVEJOURNAL, post your pretty stuff HERE. And not there. Because I'd much rather talk about things than click some 'like' button.
