Game of Thrones (the books) is something I am at turns curious about and totally put off by. I'm put off because it's a HUGE series (12 books or more) and is incomplete. I don't want to get engrossed in something that long and then have the author faff around and never finish. My God, I think I'd kill someone. Because of that, I am growing more and more curious about the show since maybe I can get the gist of the series in bite-sized pieces without possibly investing myself in something that goes nowhere in the long run. *thinky* Also, slash and incest you say? Slashy incest? I wish to know more. lol

Fringe's finale did leave me going, "BZUH?!" but I also loved it, which makes me glad in my own television junkie way. This has not been a good year for finales to me--of all the shows I watch, I've liked THREE of the finales; the rest left me going, "NO NO NO DON'T DO THAT!" Fringe is one that left me torn, but utterly enthralled at the same time and looking forward to seeing where they take it because Fringe is one of those "next level" shows. It's consistently good and marvelously fucked up. Plus, Walter is awesome. :D

House... just... *hands* Idek what is going on there and while I still enjoy the acting in the show immensely, House is just way too out of control and I am finding it difficult to believe that, with some of his truly AWFUL behavior (breaking shit in Wilson's office comes immediately to mind) that people would be that willing to put up with him. He's totally abusive and out of control; he's just gotten horrible. I used to love his snark and crassness but I watch now and most of the time all I can think is, "You fucking bastard" and find myself wondering why he doesn't get (A) fired or (B) beat down to the ground because he totally deserves it.

I have no idea who Anna Popplewell is (don't throw things!) but she has beautiful eyelashes and lovely skin.

For the DVD commentary thing I chose this part because the last line truly resonates and is beautiful to me. So, I'd love some commentary on it:

Sometimes, Nathan is the one who shares too much, the one who's all gory detail and sickening mental image. Sometimes, when he whispers "Dr. Reid?" into the darkness and Reid does not respond, when Nathan isn't sure if he's awake or not and starts talking anyway, just for a release, he talks about what he wants to do, what he can't stop thinking about doing. And Reid stays silent with his eyes squeezed shut and his fingers digging into the mattress and he wants, wants, wants to hold Nathan close and tell him no and tell him stop and teach him what it's like just to feel somebody in your arms, what it's like to feel someone's heart beating beneath your fingers without wanting to tear it right out.
