I'm not sure who it was that Mrs Stark's sis claimed killed her husband

Havent seen it yet, but i think when you said king with the kid, luke, you meant a scene with bran stark, the kid who likes to climb. If its that scene, then the pretty boy knight type you saw is not the king, its the queens win brother, jaime, who is the young captain ofthe kingsguard.

Its a very pivotal scene, which influences intrigue stuff for the next 2500 pages or so.

about The Killing
[SHOW]
Unless the mayoral candidate or his campaign actually are involved in the murder, why are we still tagging along with them? I could see it if this show were using the murder as a springboard to examine society (sort of like the Wire), but I don't really get that vibe.

Also, the teacher is a red herring, right? Obviously something inappropriate was going on there, but the fact that she secretly met him at this volunteer joint and got some letters doesn't mean a whole lot. The whole Gary Condit/Chandra Levy thing came to mind.

I thought the initial Twin Peaks comparisons were a knee-jerk reaction, but more and more this show reminds me of it in terms of plot if not tone.

All that said, really well done, and it's nice how these characters are getting developed. The stuff with the girl's family has been outstanding. I used to have a thing for the actress that plays the mother. First thing I saw her in was Kalifornia, playing kind of a gothish hipster girlfriend of David Duchovny's.

I realize I just kind of Modened the TV thread.

I'm hooked on "The Killing". It's clichéd as can be and the really goofy twists and turns are starting to annoy me just a little bit, but I'm still hooked on the show.

I watched the entire first season of Veronica Mars on Sunday. Someone should find a way to make money on how fun it is to binge on TV shows.
