Caught GoT last night. Pretty sad about the Princess. I knew they had talked about it but I really thought Stanis wouldn't go there. Even when he was talking about sacrifice. Gah.

Also, Daenerys on the back of the dragon looked so corny lol. But… It's fantasy, right?

Glad you're getting around to these cultural touchstones while they're still in their moment. Any thoughts on last night's episode of MASH?

Rectify is so well done, caught up with season 2 and start of season 3 this weekend.  If you going to watch it, I highly recommend you catch up on the first two seasons first.  Totally doing in my head at the moment… One of the few shows that allows the viewer to figure out what's going on without hitting you over the head all the time.

Yep, it and Fortitude are my favorite shows no one else seems to be watching. Rectify is doing that thing where Sundance OnDemand is going to put up episodes a week early if you want to be ahead of the curve. Rectify is so well-done.

Deutschland 83, also on Sundance, is really really well done although it leaves me with an impression that Europeans think nothing of skinny dipping with people they just met as it seems to happen weekly. Uptight Americanism strikes again. Point is, Sundance has a lot of great stuff going on right now. I wish I got it in HD. (My cable provider, much like it does with Pivot, airs only the SD feed but provides the entire OnDemand in HD which is odd.)

Haha, yeah. It reminded me of the scene in Zoolander "the files. . . are IN the computer!?!"

True Detective really kicked into gear with the second half of last night's episode (incidentally, much the same way season 1 did the same thing in episode 4).

as someone who has spent a lot of time in euroland, this is indeed often the case.  the one that really sent me for a loop was when i visited an ex-girlfriend in northern germany with whom i had hopes of rekindling the relationship but she was dating someone else so there was no interest.  i still had a great time hanging out with her, but on the second day we went to the beach and she stripped down and laid out on the sand.  t'was… weird.  nay, awkward.

No, this isn't nude sunbathing. It's specifically people who have barely met stripping naked, getting in a natural body of water, and having sex in the middle of the day. It's happened like 3 times in 4 episodes!

Beautiful story.  I even teared up a little…
