I belatedly discovered HBO's Game of Thrones and promptly got sucked in. It was stellar!* Arya Stark is my favorite by a mile, followed by Tyreon Lannister and Jon Snow (with his sad puppy eyes). Now I want to read the books, so I suppose that's mission accomplished for this adaptation. Season 2 in spring 2012 has now been added to the list of long-range fandom things I'm looking forward to, especially since that finale had more loose ends than a yarn store invaded by kittens.

Random note (very mild spoilers): at the moment in one of the episodes where Arya is going down a staircase in the palace and I thought, hey, for some reason this reminds me of Merlin going downstairs to visit the dragon. Moments later, Arya found a giant frickin' dragon skull. I'm inordinately proud of myself for randomly calling that.

*I give it that thumbs-up despite ( cut for spoilers and mention of rape )

Significantly after most of the Internet, I have finally seen the first episode of BBC's Sherlock. Yep, I see why everybody has been squeeing about it. What a fun adaptation! Some points about it:

-I thought the casting on the leads was stellar, and I don't say that only because Benedict Cumberbatch is ridiculously gorgeous. Martin Freeman is so dead-on as Watson.

( spoilers under the cut )

And now for something completely different: this uber-creepy Weeping Angels vid is amazing!
