Alex Gansa discusses the season 2 finale of Homeland.
“These star crossed lovers were never meant to be together. And every time they do get together something really bad happens. Even the power of this love that they have between them and the connection that these two damaged souls have found in each other, is ultimately a curse.” -- Alex Gansa
The wreckage left in the wake of a car bomb detonated during services for VP Walden
As the Season 2 finale for Showtime’s Homeland neared on Sunday night, the burning question became: Would Nicholas Brody emerge from the season-ender alive?
Could the the war hero-turned-would-be terrorist plausibly survive into Season 3? As it turned out his life was saved, but his love was lost.

In the Season 2 finale, Carrie is faced with a pivotal decision, while Brody meets with Faber to contemplate the future of the family. Meanwhile, Saul undertakes a secret assignment; and Quinn has a decision to make that may prove to be a game-changer.
Homeland - Episode 2.12 (Season Finale) 'The Choice' (Cr: Showtime)
No matter what happens on the season 2 final of Homeland, I doubt very much that it will feel ambiguous. If you've been watching thus far you know that episode 2 or 4 or even 11 could have been concluding episodes rather than contained within the season. The writers are not afraid to drive the story at dizzying speeds--yet somehow never sacrificing the character development. With Brody unmasked as a terrorist, both Vice President Walden and Abu Nazir dead, Brody's marriage over and Brody, unbeknownst to him or Carrie, with a giant target on his forehead, how can this possibly end well?
One would guess that Brody's must die. The CIA has sanctioned his death, he has a black ops assassin who is tracking him--the only thing standing between him and a bullet to the brain is Carrie--which is a pretty scary thought. There's no doubt in my mind that however this turns out, that Homeland's season 2 finale episode is going to be a real nail-biter. And we wouldn't want it any other way, right? See you Sunday!

Saul to Carrie: 'You're the smartest and the dumbest f**king person I've ever known.'
Homeland: A Preview of the Season Finale from EP Alex Gansa - Will Brody die?
With only one episode left in its second season, Showtime’s Homeland has already dispatched two very prominent characters: Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan) went last week, and in episode 11's shocking hour, elusive terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) was finally caught and killed.
Had producers known from the beginning of season 2 that Homeland‘s big bad would perish? “I think the short answer to that is yes,” says executive producer Alex Gansa. “The long answer is we weren’t actually sure how that would happen. But the reason we wanted Walden and Nazir both dead is we wanted to open the possibility that Brody and Carrie could have a happy ending, that their doomed romance was not doomed after all. The only way to make that happen was to off these two antagonists.”
... So what can Gansa tease about next week’s season finale? “The final episode is called ‘The Choice,’ and what I can say about it is .... we’ve sort of left the thriller aspects of the show behind and now we come to a very personal story about Carrie and Brody and all the obstacles that lie in the way of them being together. That is what the finale is about. It’s a real character study of these two people, where they’ve come from, how they regard each other, and whether or not there’s a future for them.”

Carrie questions the team responsible for clearing the tunnel.
When last we saw Carrie (Claire Danes) she had, with Brody's (Damian Lewis) assistance, escaped from Nazir (Navid Negahban), called for help and returned to the warehouse in which she was being held. Upon her return, she began a solo search for Nazir, unaware that black ops agent Quinn (Rupert Friend) and a terrorist capture team were about to storm the place--which is where we pick up in Sunday's episode.
It's going to be very interesting because for one thing, how is Carrie going to explain exactly, how she got away from Nazir--that her lover--Brody made a deal with Nazir to kill the Vice President? I just can't see that going over well--though I realize that patriot Carrie would have died before she would have consented to such a thing. RIP V.P. Walden--you were a slimy bastard but Jamey Sheridan did a great job making us hate you.
Nazir evaded capture and in this Sunday's episode we may find out if he will be caught or killed or both--the sneak peek implies that he gets away but sneak peeks can be sneaky that way, as I'm sure you've realized. All the more fun to discuss what we think is going to happen, right?
Speaking of happenings, Brody's wife Jessica (Morena Baccarrin) finally bedded her true love Mike (Diego Klattenhoff) while at the safehouse, explaining afterward that she felt no guilt. When Brody finally showed up, things were awkward but upon Mike's exit Jess and Brody appeared ready to discuss their situation frankly (they both desire people that are not their spouse). But inconveniently, Brody was called away by Nazir and the discussion was shelved. I think the marriage is kaput, though. There's just nothing left between them besides the kids, who are very aware of Mom and Dad's very unhappy marital situation.
This week too, the 'mole' problem which goes back to season one, is again picked up--by Carrie--who is convinced that the only way Nazir could have gotten away was if said mole helped him. I don't know. There was quite a time lapse between her escaping, running out to the highway, trying and failing several times to flag down someone to borrow a cellphone from, phoning the 'home office', and then making her way back to the huge warehouse. Why couldn't Nazir have just slipped away, possibly using his own terrorist connections? I am glad the mole issue is at least being addressed because it's not at all a small issue. I've heard rumblings that Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is the mole which I don't believe, that Estes (David Harewood) is--he, I could've believed the mole last season but this far into season 2, I'm thinking he's more an asshole than a mole. At this point, my best guess is 'Danny,' the guy that got caught in the gunfight along with Quinn and who last we heard had a 50-50 chance of recovering. He showed up in the last episode having left Walter Reed Hospital AMA, arm in a sling, saying he wanted to help find Carrie--but who knows.
There's just 2 more episodes, people. This season has gone by in a flash. I've really dug it--the characters and the great writing/high tension of every episode have solidified my state of being hooked on this show and I'll miss Homeland when it goes on hiatus. So glad it was renewed for a third season!

Homeland : With the Creators: 'Broken Hearts' Episode 2.10
Homeland TVLine Teaser:
To the surprise of some, Jessica recently “reconnected” (so to speak) with old flame Mike, and seems to have no regrets about it. “I think she is allowing herself to go there, not knowing what is going to happen – and that is OK,” Morena Baccarin told us of her character’s mindset. “She’s been depleted for so long in her relationship with Brody that she is just finally getting something for herself.” Though that something may seem newly messy now, with Brody appropriately suspicious of the rekindled affair, Baccarin promises that by the season finale airing Dec. 16, “There will be resolution” one way or another.
Saul catches up with an old friend and discovers evidence of covert
activities by Estes. Brody and Vice President Walden find themselves at
odds over the future of their political relationship, while Dana and
Finn come to terms with their own differences.
Season 2, Episode 9 of Showtime's "Homeland," "Two Hats."
Recap:
The episode opens with Estes, Quinn, Saul and Carrie puzzling over the disappearance of Brody.
Finally, Carrie has to be the one to say it: "He's dead. If not physically dead,
then operationally dead." If he's alive, then Estes' plan to roll up
Roya will surely kill him.
Homeland's episode 209, "Two Hats," which was on par with the best episodes of a spectacular season 2, kept both the characters and the audience on their toes as they piled on the intrigue.
Among the most "intriguing," happenings were Estes (David Harewood), Quinn (Rupert Friend), Saul (Mandy Patinkin)
and Carrie (Claire Danes) trying to figure out what Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) has planned, and whether or
not they can trust Brody to help thwart those plans.
Even if Brody is telling the truth, there's
the possibility that Nazir is using him to throw the CIA off his trail.
Then you've got Carrie, Saul, Virgil and Max trying to figure out who "John X slash Peter Quinn" is working for
and what is 'the plan,' exactly?
Meanwhile, Jessica lost no time in hooking up with serious good guy "Mike Faber" (played by native Nova Scotian, Diego Klattenhoff) in the guest room of the CIA safe house.
Cut to Brody, who is, Surprise! alive. A clean-shaven Nazir bids farewell to Brody saying
he trusts in him because Allah trusts in him. As soon as Nazir speeds
away in his car, Brody runs to a restaurant to ask for a payphone and, when that
fails, a cell phone. He calls Carrie and tells her to move his family
somewhere safe, then wait for another call in an hour.
Carrie, who has a vested interest in seeing Jessica resume her affair with
Uncle Mike, sends him to scoop up the family and spirit them away to a luxe condo safehouse where they are free to pursue their passions:
Dana emanating gloom from every pore, Chris gazing like a simpleton at
all the flat-screen TV's, Jessica asking unanswerable questions about
Brody's mission, Uncle Mike cooking yet another breakfast...just like the family they would've been if Brody hadn't returned--which daughter Dana is now lamenting.
Brody calls again and says to Carrie, "Remember where we first met, and I
don't mean your office?" She replies,"In the rain?" Carrie goes where things got started between the two of them outside the veterans support group and jumps in the passenger
seat.
"I thought I was dead, Carrie," he says. She knows just how close he was. She has
to haul him in before Estes and the gang. Brody's recounting of his missing 12 hours is not 100% convincing. Whether he is still badly shaken and is eager to please or if the fact that he omits having prayed just hours before with Nazir, I really cannot tell. His story seems to be corroborated by dramatic reenactments. Does that
mean he's telling the truth? Or could they be dramatizations of his
lies? And how are we to interpret the scene of him praying with Nazir,
which he declines to mention for obvious reasons. Brody says Nazir has decided to "die taking the fight to the enemy." His
plan is to blow up 300 returning Special Forces soldiers at a
homecoming ceremony with Walden and Brody. Brody's mission is to get
Walden to let Roya cover the event with her camera van full of
explosives.
Carrie thinks Brody's telling the truth. The plan, she says, is
"quintessential Nazir." Everyone else is more skeptical. The best part
comes when Saul is watching on a closed-circuit TV as Brody pulls some
'confesses' to Carrie about how he 'only cares what (she) thinks'.
Quinn
creeps up to more closely listen to the interaction on the screen, and Saul says, "Think you're the only one who
understands that this fucker needs watching like a hawk?" Indeed.

'Homeland' Damian Lewis: 'I get lost in Brody's accent'
Damian Lewis has joked that he has trouble dropping the American accent
he uses in Homeland.
The British actor joked to GQ that playing American
soldier-turned-traitor Nicholas Brody on the Showtime series has odd
effects on his real-life speech pattern.

"At this point, I don't know what accent will come out when I order
coffee in the morning," Lewis joked.
He went on to quip that the brooding he does while playing the
conflicted Brody often makes him appear more intense than in reality.
"I know it looks like I'm thinking deep thoughts on the show, but I'm
probably just trying to remember my next line," he teased.
Lewis added: "[Brody is] a lot of fun to play because he behaves badly
in extremis."
The actor recently signed a new five-year deal to play Brody for seven seasons total on Homeland.

“I do feel used and played and lied to,” replied a rather breathless Brody, hugging, smooching, squeezing. “I also feel good. Two minutes with you and I feel good. How do you do that?”
The photos do tell part of the story. The Dana and the son of-the-VP boyfriend hit-and-run story ties up--pretty straightforwardly but there's a glitch, as you can see in the promo photos. Things look pretty hunky-dory with daughter and dad (Damian Lewis) now that Dana (Morgan Saylor) has unburdened herself and she and dad are on their way to the local precinct to fill out an accident report/confess. But just then--our Ms. Mathison (Claire Danes) steps into the picture , which is not at all cool with Dana or her dad.
Synopsis - HOMELAND Episode 207 – “The Clearing”:
Reeling from the recent ambush, Carrie and team struggle to regain control of their operation, while Brody and family attend a tony fundraiser at a Virginia horse farm. Saul visits Aileen in solitary confinement, hoping she’ll provide key intelligence on this latest attack. Meanwhile, an anguished Dana pressures Finn to come clean about their hidden crime.

Yvonne Strahovski as 'Hannah McKay' on DEXTER 'Do The Wrong Thing' on SHOWTIME
If you tuned into SHOWTIME'S two marquee series last night you don't need no stinking recap for them. One writer though, Drusilla Moorehouse, actually has a witty style of writing (and a sharp eye for details for what she's recapping) which makes her day-after blogs stand out from most of the rest. Even she however, missed what I consider to be the worst moment in the 7-year history of Dexter.
DEXTER/'Dexter' (Michael C. Hall) is deliciously twisted-- a big part of our fascination with the show. He has also been pretty asexual, which set up a sort of innocent paradox to his serial-killer persona.
Casting former "Chuck" fanboy goddess Yvonne Strahovski,to play Dexter's prey seemed pretty awesome--if Dex hadn't decided, after trussing her up on a kill table, to nix knifing her through the heart and instead untruss her with his knife and go all stabby with his throbbing member.
Of couse, being a 'sick fuck,' as his sister Deb might call her, 'Hannah McKay' was aroused by her near-death experience with Dexter and intiated the use of sex as a weapon. But, it was way too rape-like for me. It was repulsive and seemed written for cheap shock value. In three words: I hated it.
Here's a short bit from Moorehouse's 'Do The Wrong Thing' recap which you should read in it's entirety by clicking the link that follows it:
Meanwhile, Hannah gets her own flirt on with Dexter, dropping by his apartment with a more appropriate house plant: a spotted phalaenopsis, an orchid whose coloring resembles blood spatter. Placing it in his bedroom, Hannah says provocatively, "Now you can look at it when you wake up and when you go to bed." No wonder she agrees to Dexter's offer to "take [her] out," although she definitely expects the evening to end differently. Or maybe not. "This is what I need to fill my emptiness," marvels Hannah at a closed-down carnival where Dexter had surprised her, a substitute for Santa's Holiday Adventure, where Wayne promised to take her during their crime spree. Instead, she wakes up on Dexter's killing table. And as he holds a knife to her throat, she says fearlessly, "Do what you gotta do." And did he ever.
Killer Quotes"Something planty." --Dexter, when Hannah asks what kind of décor he's looking for "Don't be a cop tease," Deb when Sal hints at his theory about Hannah "I'd really like to avoid killing anyone in here -- they can get in the way of my being released," Isaak, warning George to get him out of jail "Guess I'm maybe kind of a morbid guy" --Dexter
Damian Lewis and Claire Danes star in HOMELAND on Showtime
Last night's episode of HOMELAND was far superior to anything Dexter was offering, despite the nit-picking going on with reviewers who, since they can't find much to criticize about the near-perfect offering, are instead seeking out 'experts in field' to debunk how the real CIA and FBI would do things and how the show, you know, isn't like real life. Note to all of you: It is precisely that reason why we watch television dramas--we get enough real-life in our every breathing moment not watching television. Remember, escapism is fun. Small children call it 'pretending'--it's really quite OK and in the hands of Homeland's makers quite excellent.
Here's a short excerpt from Moorehouse's 'A Gettysburg Address' recap which you should read in it's entirety by clicking the link that follows it:
...So Carrie summons Brody back to Langley to help out, where he admits to killing Bassel the tailor. While a forensics team plans to search his shop, the CIA orders Brody to meet with Roya. This time the task force manages to listen to the entire conversation ... or so it seems.
When Roya bristles at Brody initiating contact, he tells her that he's sleeping with Carrie, at her suggestion, and overheard Carrie mentioning Hezbollah during a phone call. Roya tells Brody she knows about Gettysburg (the mole strikes again?) and hints that they might find something in the tailor's shop. The task force is unnerved by an extended period of silence between the two -- ostensibly because of a bystander. But could they be communicating via other signals? Remember, this is the guy whom Carrie caught tapping out code on national TV "when everyone else was calling him the patriot of the century."
While Carrie stays in Washington, Quinn (Rupert Friend) joins the Gettysburg group. He's just about to discover Bassel the tailor's secret hiding place behind a wall when Hezbollah agents brazenly storm the shop, open fire on the agents, tear down the wall and walk out with a giant crate of no good.
In her grief and rage, Carrie confronts Rep. Brody at his office -- who of course denies any involvement in a setup. In the end, the anguished CIA agent ends up sobbing in his arms -- consoled by the man who not only murdered the Gettysburg tailor and almost detonated one of his suicide vests, but may have played a role in the latest attack.

If you are reasonably good at putting a basic puzzle together, after watching the promo for HOMELAND episode 206, 'A Gettysburg Address,' you are going to be 90% sure of what is going to happen. It was my good fortune to have had no forewarning whosoever and when "it" happened, I literally gasped, said something I won't repeat here and then gasped again. I did not see it coming. However, if you want to enjoy the episode unspoiled, I'm going to do something I've never done before: encourage you to NOT watch the Homeland 206 promo video. Instead, watch the sneak peeks because though entertaining, they really tell you nothing of significance, but if you really want to be jolted out of your chair do not watch the promo. Enjoy the episode however which airs this Sunday night. It is yet another game changer--and that ain't no hype.

As David Harewood, who plays David Estes in HOMELAND succinctly puts it in the 'Debrief' video extra below, '(Homeland) is a show where you never know what is going to happen next.'
If you saw last week's crazy-great episode you know exactly what he's talking about (and I so agree with him!)
As soon as an episode becomes available I jump right on it. Homeland is literally my very favourite show on television right now.
Homeland : Debrief: New Car Smell (VIDEO):
The cast discuss the climatic ending of episode 4.
I cannot recall the last time a television show--a political thriller at that, literally made me gasp in shock at what transpired onscreen. And I'm not talking the mind-bending capture of Brody at the end of the last episode. Oh no, there is so much more to come and yet as Morena Baccarin ('Jessica') says in the "debrief' video, "You think to yourself, if Brody gets taken down it's the end of the show--but of course, it's not--it sets up episode 5 and we get to see what happens when Brody is taken in and which way he's gonna go.'
So what do you think is going to happen to Brody? Will he cooperate? Will he break? Will the CIA use as brutal tactics as Abu Nazir did when he captured Brody? So many questions!
This Sunday's episode of HOMELAND is called Q & A. Here's the synopsis as well as links to two enticing sneak peeks--or if you prefer, just after the jump I've embedded the sneak peeks right here in this post. Enjoy!

judgment call at the hotel, as Estes is busy sweeping the tracks clean
to keep Jessica off their trail. And Dana’s relationship with Finn is
taken to the next level from fun to deadly serious. (Credit: Showtime)
Though Homeland season 2 was great from the first episode, we are just now getting into to some really heavy stuff. If you thought Homeland episode 3 was intense then buckle in because things are about to get more Topsy-turvy in episode 204. And if you think that HOMELAND might take a breather for episode 205, forget it. It gets even more crazy-compelling.
Like the best political thrillers, Homeland hooks you in, starting with its complex, conflicted characters. From as low as you think one might go then flipping and soaring to great highs the characters are bounding all over the place emotionally, psychologically, it's pretty wild. It's not lost on me that the tone of the show can seem to echo Carrie's illness, 'bipolar disorder.' Since Carrie is seemingly complying with her meds, its seems OK if Homeland itself takes us for a wild ride.
All I can say is there is some heavy stuff coming up. It's a constant, crazy rush from episodes 3-5 (and maybe beyond, it wouldn't surprise me.)
Homeland Episode 2.0 - 'He Made A Tape' VIDEO:
Saul arrives at Este's home with some intriguing evidence.
(Above: "the tape")
I love how Mandy Patinkin (above), as many people of a certain age would, refers to the digital recording as 'a tape'. It gives HOMELAND an authentic feel from smaller bits like this one to the real relationship that is present when Patinkin ('Saul,' Carrie's handler) is on-screen with 'Carrie' (Claire Danes).
I like too in this scene that Estes (David Harewood), who has just hear about the biggest piece of information he could ever get, does not lose his cool, or cede an authority to Saul. He instead insists on continuing to run things despite how not-great he's done on the whole Abu Nazir thing thus far.

Homeland : Bipolarity (VIDEO):
Writer and Consulting Producer Meredith Stiehm discusses writing a bipolar character.
An important part of the reason that HOMELAND resonates with people is the harrowingly realistic portrayal by Claire Danes of Carrie Mathison, a woman afflicted with the oft-misunderstood bipolar disorder. Instead of the 'disease of the week-type' of treatment that viewers are so used to seeing in television drama, Homeland has chosen, with the input of people including Writer and Consulting ProducerMeredith Stiehm (see video interview above), to integrate having bipolar disorder as a very important component of what makes Danes' former CIA agent seem authentic and even relatable. I really do think that is part of why audiences have taken to her character so deeply.
I excerpted an article after the jump which further expands upon how "Carrie's" affliction serves to make her character perhaps the most identifiable for many viewers. It all comes down IMO, to the creatives behind the show including Ms. Danes, taking their character's disease very seriously--not glossing over it nor amping it up above what is believable. It works to serve the story in such a compelling & compassionate way.
BTW, Homeland episode 3 is the one that I 'warned' you about. Your mind will be blown. I can't say any more without spoiling it but I will say it is definitely worth watching more than once!

As you may have heard, Homeland is not just a favorite of the Emmy award people, but a few other folks like it as well. Even so, in case you have not yet had a chance to catch the edge-of-your-seat intensity of episode 2, I'm warning you now: STOP! Go watch it, then come back (please).
To refresh your memory about just how heart-pounding episode 2 was, I invite you to have another glimspse of a vital scene from HOMELAND's episode 2.02 where Carrie finds “Courage Under Fire,” racing through an apartment to prove she’s right:
You might think because of the action-packed intensity of 'Beirut is Back,' that episode 3 would give us a breather, as some shows do. Let me tell you now: It's not gonna happen. Here's a brief synopsis of what you can expect--but there is no hint of the biggest 'wow' moment yet so far in the series.
HOMELAND Episode 203 – “State of Independence” Fresh from her adventures in Beirut, a restless Carrie prepares for what she hopes will be a triumphant return to the CIA. Meanwhile, Brody learns that the Gettysburg bombmaker is on a terrorist watch list and in danger of imminent discovery. With no time to lose, Brody attempts a last-minute exfiltration. And Jessica takes risks of her own as she steps into the political limelight.
Written by Alexander Cary Directed by Lodge Kerrigan (SOURCE: Showtime)
The scene above literally made me cry, not specifically because of what was happening but what happened in the lead-up to this moment and what the ramifications of it could be. It was truly illustrative of the very best of what Homeland offers, which I must fess up are the scenes in which both Carrie (Claire Danes) and Saul (Mandy Patinkin) are featured in the same frame. Do not miss Homeland episode 3!
‘HOMELAND’: WHAT NOW?! SPOILER!
... Now that Saul has found Brody’s confessiontape (!!) where does that leave us?
Homeland EP executive producer Howard Gordon previewed the
next steps (in Homeland) “[Saul] comes back to let everybody know — and let
Carrie know, in particular — that what drove her to her breakdown was
wrong and that she was actually right,” he says.
“The second season
doesn’t really begin until episode 3. Episodes 1 and 2 were, in a way, a
preamble to the rest of the season.”
Says Gordon. “The
trick is finding these two characters who are in such wildly different
places — Carrie’s character having had a breakdown and Brody on his
political rise — and finding a way to get them back together again,
which I think you begin to intimate how that might happen.”
Also next week? There’s blood on someone’s hands (literally), Jessica
gets a chance to shine, and Saul once again wows by being two steps
ahead of his peers and the audience.
Is this Brody's (Damian Lewis) missing confession and if so, who has it?
If you've not yet viewed the highly-acclaimed, Emmy award-winning Showtime series, Homeland it is not too late to start! If you happened to have missed the Season 2 premiere, that is no problem as you can scroll down and view it right here on my site!
There is a thorough recap of season 1 at the beginning so you can get the gist of it 1--then for goodness sakes, order Showtime and catch up on season 1! Seriously, Homeland is original, timely, thrilling, tightly written, action-packed, has great direction and the proverbial cherries on top--the acting! is top-notch. It's a highly engrossing show that is adrenalin-charged but not escapist in the tune-my-brain-out sense. Quite the opposite. You need to stay on your toes to keep up with a show that doesn't dumb anything down yet is still accessible and relates to the world that you and I live in. Give it a spin!
Small SPOILER: I just watched episode 3 and whoa, what an an emotional roller coaster ride, heart-in-your-throat 60 minutes! Both Brody and Carrie are put through the ringer. Be sure to watch and see the mind-blowing ending where the game has completely changed!

If you’ve been watching Showtime’s Homeland, (which is often cited as the president of the United State's favourite television program) and which just last week swept the Emmy Awards as this year's winner for Best Drama, Best Lead Actress (Claire Danes - Drama) and Best Lead Actor (Damian Lewis - Drama) there's a simple moment in the season 2 premiere of the uber-adrenalized drama which strikes a chord that seems entirely out of left field, yet fits the pieces that may yet come together as we set up season 2.
When we last saw Carrie Matheison (Danes) she had lost all credibility and had been fired from the CIA and was in the process of a desperate effort to regain her sense of sanity after having it undermined in a thorough and humiliating way-- as a result mostly, of Carrie's own recklessness. Her sense of failure was so
consuming and complete that she willingly accepted the risk of short-term
memory loss as part of her ECT (Electroconvulsive (Shock) Treatment).
Carrie must attempt to construct a new life that is separate from
what she viewed as her raison d'être of old, so we find her in Season 2, present time, (about six months past her last-ditch attempt at screwing her head back on straight) using a very different skill set, living a life of domestic simplicity, and trudging off to work at a job that would have bored the old Carrie to tears. In the premiere, she’s calm and seemingly without
the intensity that colored her judgment and ultimately destroyed her career and her sanity in Season 1.
It becomes apparent just how structured and planful her life has become when her dinner plans to make lasgana with the vegetables she'd picked
that morning appear to be about to be changed at the last minute--and she reacts in a very non-Carrie-like way. It's almost as scary as watching her veer off the rails in season 1 because it seems like we've lost 'our' Carrie completely.
Despite having been repeatedly misunderstood or ignored and having suffered the indignity of being kicked out of the intelligence community--for all of that that nearly destroyed her, Carrie was also right that former POW Sergeant Nicholas Brody
(Emmy Award winner Damian Lewis), is indeed not who or what
he appears to be.
Homeland - Episode 2.02
Meanwhile, the man she was so very sure of as not being who he presented himself to be and who in fact was a potent threat to National Security continues to present himself as he did-- as a former soldier, a true patriot, and a devoted family man.
Though his former function as a United States Marine was to protect his country with a willingness to sacrifice himself in the name of democracy and freedom, that mission is long since past him. During his captivity in Afghanistan his official mission was methodically aborted by Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban), through torture and brainwashing, to be replaced with a fanaticism and desire to destroy the thing he once placed high above all others. He may look like Nick Brody, Marine hero, but that man 'died' as a prisoner of war, replaced as we meet him in Season 2 as a newly-elected congressman—and a potential vice-presidential candidate(!)
Damian Lewis as "Nick Brody' in Season 2 Homeland, premiering tonight on Showtime
Life is moving very, very fast for Brody and just as Carrie's old life was disassembled, so too has Brody's and he is also showing ever-more cracks in his life's veneer. The frantic pace of both Homeland’s narrative and Carrie’s high-risk profession continue undermine her fragile new sense of sanity, something that plays out within Brody too, as his double life—that of the American war hero and politician, is sharply juxtaposed against the ideology he is concealing as a secret Islamic jihadist and that carries the ever-present risk of exploding spectacularly, blowing everything he holds dear away, not unlike what happened to Carrie in Season 1. Season 2 has lept out of the starting gate with the story-lines unfolding at high velocity, amping up the tension of Homeland to an edge-of- your-seat, squirmy-yet-highly satisfying degree.
Claires Danes as Carrie Mathieson in Season 2 of Homeland on Showtime, Premiering Sept 30
In the Season 2 premiere, Brody learns he is the political "future of the party," and receives a tantalizing offer from the vice president, while a recovering Carrie receives a disturbing request from a surprising source. In Beirut, Saul gets involved in some cloak-and-dagger doings. Original Air Date: Sep 30, 2012

Claire Danes at the HOMELAND Premiere in New York City
I think Claire Danes is my favourite actress in any drama right now. She is simply unsurpasssed. It seems that the Emmy Awards folks agree as the star of Homeland on Showtime was just awarded her second Emmy (she was first nominated as a teenager for the unforgettable 'My So-Called Life') for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series! I've posted her acceptance speech because she is really lovely--truly a class act.
'Maybe it was the excitement from winning, maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, but when Claire Danes took the stage after winning Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, she didn't hold anything back. When's the last time you heard "baby daddy" uttered during an acceptance speech? Holla!'
Homeland : Phenomenon (VIDEO) Cast Interviews:

And, in case you were wondering, "Who is Abu Nazir?" watch the latest video in a
series of interviews with an undercover agent. Each interview looks at Season One of Homeland from a different perspective -- Carrie, Brody, Saul, Estes, and of course Abu Nazir.
In preparation for the Sept. 30 return of Homeland, Showtime
has posted the first 20 minutes of the new season online. The series
that stars Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin — which
averaged 4.4 million weekly viewers and earned nine Emmy nominations —
focuses on an unhinged CIA officer and a very suspicious prisoner of
war.

It's funny that this snap looks like a scene out of Homeland which I suppose is not at that far-fetched. The main difference I think is that 'Brody' (Damian Lewis) would be clean-shaven.
It's generally exciting enough to find out that the President of the
United States has seen -- let alone is a fan of -- your work, which is
something President Obama has openly admitted on numerous occasions. To get invited to attend a State Dinner at the White House? Even better. And then, on top of all that, there was the location of his place card.
"It was made more remarkable by the fact that as I was walking down
with my wife to go and sit at the table, assuming I’d be by the
toilets," Lewis laughed, as he spoke with The Hollywood Reporter
at the New York City premiere of his show's second season. Instead, he
said, "I sat opposite the president himself, at his table, next to Mr. Warren Buffett. And so it became an even more surreal, out-of-body experience."

There are also fond memories recounted of the sexual adventures that that Nancy, Andy and Doug engaged in (albeit separately) that are most often more funny than sexy,

Claire Danes in Homeland on Showtime starting Sept 30
If it seems like forever since we last saw a new episode of Showtime's Homeland, well, it sort of has. But no worries, Homeland returns to Showtime following Dexter on Sunday nights beginning on Sept. 30.
Season one focused on 'Carrie Mathison' (Claire Danes), a troubled CIA agent, and 'Sgt. Nicholas Brody' (Damien Lewis), a long-imprisoned former marine who Carrie suspected had been 'turned' (brainwashed) during his captivity and who she believed was an imminent threat to National Security. Carrie tired to convince her handler, "Saul Berenson," (Mandy Patinkin) of her convictions and despite his willingness to allow her to continue to attempt to gather more intel on Brody, ultimately Carrie was thwarted, coming up empty-handed and in a state of emotional breakdown after falling in love with Brody. When last we saw Carrie, she was beginning an ECT treatment just as she was recalling a critical piece of the Brody puzzle, leaving the audience wondering if she would ever again recall that information. Had Carrie's search for the truth come to a screeching halt, just like her career with the CIA? (cont.)
Meanwhile, the audience discovered that Brody had indeed been turned along with his marine buddy and that they both answered to the terrorist
mastermind who turned them, 'Abu Nazir.' Both men had directives to cause a great deal of chaos at the highest levels of the U.S. government and to a degree, both were successful in completing their missions though not without difficulties both in their personal lives and their missions that will most probably resonate, at least for Brody, in season 2.
Brody is now a few months into his
inaugural term as a freshman Congressman and though he is still working for the enemy his reintegration into his former non-marine life is picking away at him. After failing to complete his mission to cause a catastrophe by blowing up some of the Joint Chiefs, the Vice President, and himself he convinces Abu Nasir that he could still be effective by gathering intel from within the government.
With Carrie's mental illness in the open and her non-authorized, unconventional way of attempting to 'out' Brody, she herself is out--of the CIA. Even so, as the sneak peek and promo #1 that I've embedded here shows, Carrie is still very much in the mix, appearing to go deep undercover and again finding herself in some really effed up situations with her life yet again in jeopardy. For his part, Brody appears to be as paranoid as ever but at the same time looks to be moving along with his plan to wreak havoc from within the hallowed halls of the CIA and the White House. Sounds like we will be joining them shortly for another roller coaster ride of intrigue, suspense, danger and drama in just a few weeks!

The Beginning (Dexter Spot) VIDEO:
Dexter season 7 'In the beginning...' (Credit: Showtime)
Dexter - Season 7 - Press Release SPOILERS:
Season 7 returns in explosive fashion, as Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is finally forced to confront his greatest fear, as Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) witnesses his insatiable, ritualistic slaying of a killer. Now Deb knows the secret of his Dark Passenger, his undeniable thirst for blood, and the Code that their father Harry (James Remar) instilled in him as a young boy.
But as Deb tries to reconcile the unfathomable idea that her beloved, mild-mannered brother is Miami’s most notorious serial killer, Dexter is still pulled by his natural impulses to seek out the guilty and exact his brand of vigilante justice, which leads him on the trail of a brutal Ukrainian mobster (Ray Stevenson).
Along the way, Dexter meets Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovski), a strong, independent woman with a past that she's struggled to put behind her. As a turn of events leads Miami Metro Homicide to ask for her help in solving some old cases, Dexter works with her and begins to wonder if there's more to this woman than she's professed.

Game of Thrones Panel SSDD 2012 - Looking restless, Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) peruses the room. It is not his imagination. Stuck on the tail end of the panel, they have been ignoring him.
HBO just announced 14 new cast additions to season three of Game of Thrones. Season three also got a premiere date: March 31, 2013. (Video with all the actors below).
Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell. Also known as “The Queen of Thorns,” Lady Olenna is the grandmother of Margaery and Loras Tyrell and is, in many ways, the true leader of their powerful family.
I'm especially intrigued with Dame Diana Rigg being cast in another high-profile role--two in just a short span of time. She will be a really good Queen of Thorns!
Mackenzie Crook as Orell. A wildling raider, Orell is a “warg” or “skinchanger,” with the ability to enter the mind of an animal and control its actions.
Clive Russell as Bryndon “The Blackfish” Tully. Known far and wide as “The Blackfish,” Brynden is a famous knight and the uncle of Catelyn Stark. He quarreled bitterly with his brother, Lord Hoster Tully, and the two were estranged for many years.
I don't know Clive Russell's work but he certainly looks and sounds like a good fit for the role of 'Blackfish Tully' (see casting season 3 video, this page).
Bill licks Sookie - TRUE BLOOD season 1 episode 2 (Photo credit: HBO)
It seems that it has been eons that we've had the TV-version of 'Sookie and Bill' (Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer) but in truth, they did not go public with their relationship until they'd been in it for well over a year. Initially, they were willing to discuss just how they happened to become a couple (in sum, they met at work). Now, three years later, they've married (August, 2010) and are expecting twins this fall (2012) so I thought it would be fun to take a look back, in video, interviews and photos at the way they were:

TRUE BLOOD Episode 1.08 Sookie & Bill: 'Graveyard love scene'
Stephen Moyer Q &A's
On having an on/off screen relationship with Anna, he says,
“Our relationship obviously started at the beginning of the show. We got together because we loved being together and created the thing in the first place. So I think this might be easier because the crew has grown up with us, watching us as a couple and we feel comfortable with them. So, we are able in some ways to explore an intimacy which maybe some people aren’t able to."
Q: 'Was it love at first sight?'
A: "we both were absolutely single and we were doing this job and HBO puts us in the same hotel. We were the only two out-of-towners as everybody else lived in LA.
.. we just had some time off so we started hanging out together and literally finished the pilot, went home and felt very strange not being together suddenly. And I think we were both really surprised about that. Really nicely surprised by that."
Q: Are you comfortable with all the racy scenes? Happy with your sock?
A: I love the sock! Everyone has got a different size sock, as you can imagine.
Q: What size is yours?
Photo credit: HBO
A: I veer medium to extra large. No, it’s very funny, they brought in a selection of socks to try on and I don’t know whether they were doing it very sweetly, the costume department, like they brought in an extra-small one so that you feel really good. But I wasn’t the extra small which was very gratifying for me.
About True Blood's sexy scenes:
I like the fact that sex is shown in our show, I like the fact it is shown to be true. We show lustful sex, we show loving sex, and then my character does the loving and lustful sex. We’re in a society where it’s ok at 7 o’clock in the evening to see 200 terrorists gunned down by Jack Bauer [on 24], but we can’t see one female nipple unless it’s on cable network and I think that’s ridiculous.
People are scared of nipples?
They can be quite scary can’t they? Especially of the very big ones that look like dustbin lids. But I’m very proud of our show, and that our show embraces it. It’s not a problem for me at all.
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer of TRUE BLOOD
Anna Paquin interview Q & A's
Q: How’s life as a blonde?
A: It’s very high maintenance.
Q: It must be...
A: Yeah it turns out my hair grows really fast and I have really dark hair naturally so, you know, this even the tiniest bit of roots, not okay. But now that we’re wrapped it’s okay because I’m not suppose to look like a natural blonde but not really a fan for sitting still for the hairdresser once every ten days for a couple hours. Makes me feel really vain and nutty.
...people stare at blonde girls. It’s funny. It’s bright and shiny and it catches the light. Like a magpie. - ANNA
Q: How is it working with your fiancé Stephen Moyer?
A: He’s great. He’s really talented, and so is every other member of our cast and crew and writing staff and directors I mean, we have, we have such an amazing group of people and it’s a real treat.
Q: Did you have any worries about doing the raunchy material?
A: I’ve done plenty of not particularly child-friendly work when I was less age-appropriate to do it. So maybe I’ve just never had conservative taste.
Q: We keep hearing about the sock (to cover the male actors nudity)...
A: “I think they started calling it ‘the sock of destiny’ last season, I’m not entirely sure, I think that might have been a Ryan Kwanten coinage cause he was in little else for most of that season and if I’m not very much mistaken, I think he gave socks to all of the boys on the crew as a wrap gift...
But girls don’t have the sock. Girls have the patch.
Q: The patch, is that glued?
A: No! (laughs) It’ s topstick, double-sided toupee tape.. .glue would be messy and awkward. Topstick is also awkward but less messy.
Yeah a "modesty patch," or just "the patch" or "the sock."
I think they started calling it ‘the sock of destiny’ last season...I think that might have been a Ryan Kwanten coinage cause he was in little else for most of that season...

Homeland : Season 2 - 'Burning Questions' VIDEO:
WOW! Reading the HOMELAND Season 2 casting calls sure does whet one's appetite for more info about the upcoming season of HOMELAND, which returns on Showtime on September 30!
For instance, have no fear about Carrie (the amazing Claire Danes)! She is back in the game, though it's not quite clear yet exactly what game (Oh, who am I kidding--she's gathering intel and hunting bad guys!) We do know that she is now an ESL teacher with a new cover identity on a sensitive mission in Beirut!
We know too, that by episode 2.04 Carrie comes face-to-face with Brody (Damian Lewis). That should be very interesting. Both those two have great poker faces--will we be able to tell if Carrie remembers him--and if so, how much does she remember?! For his part, Brody now has his own Chief of Staff and in the same episode, for an unknown reason needs to have a 'strong smoke smell removed' from his car. Intriguing!

Peter Dinklage as 'Tyrion Lannister' in Game of Thrones - episode 2.11 "Blackwater"
"I'm entrely sure you're entirely sure what I'm suggesting." - Tyrion to Varys about 'boys.'
'Game Of Thrones': Tyrion's Best Quotes in Season 2 (VIDEO):
Tyrion Lannister (Emmy-winning PETER DINKLAGE) is easily one of the most beloved characters on HBO's "GAME OF THRONES." Not only does he have a cunning mind, but he's the only person who knows how to keep Cersei in her place.
The Best of Tyrion Lannister - Game of Thrones, Season 1 (VIDEO):
Until season 3:
What unifies and defines GAME OF THRONES and it's universe are themes about power and its uses and personal loyalty vs. obligations to the larger community. Within most episodes we travel to the far-flung reaches of Westeros and beyond with the truly exceptional thing being that AGoT's producers, directors, cast and crew have been able to expertly weave together numerous disparate ideas, making them their very own.
There are dozens of variations on George R.R. Martin's continual themes, but there isn't a repetitive quality to the stories, as what different people will do with their free will, how they'll think and plot and fight and (f*ck) their way out of situations -- those things are as exasperating, surprising, heartwarming, horrifying--as infinitely variable, as human nature itself.

Above, you see the scene where Sookie (ANNA PAQUIN), having traveled by Anubis Air (vampire-serving airline) disembarking in the airline hangar as Jessica (DEBORAH ANN WOLL) and Bill (STEVEN MOYER) 'rest'. The flight was delayed, so it is now nighttime. Disembarking, alone in the private hangar, Sookie's chauffeur seems odd, asking strange questions, then he attempts to abduct her...and the fun begins.
True Blood. Jessica 2x04 funny scenes.
A number of reviews are saying that last night's True Blood, Episode #16 (E2.04) was the best episode of the season so far.
Don't get me wrong, 'Shake & Fingerpop' was great but I have to wonder if going two weeks without a fresh episode helped sway them? In the case of a few who had been given episodes 1-4 to review, so they knew what was coming, I think probably yes. in their case too, I think having to keep mum about it for the extra week made them extrasuperexcited about it when it did finally officially air.
My opinion? I thought it was as good as Episode 1 this season. You cannot beat starting season 2 TRUE BLOOD finding out that no, it was not Lafayette dead in the back of Andy Bellefluer's old beater in Merlotte's parking lot only to find Miss Jeanette --minus her heart in full rigor mortis. Literally a stiff.
Then to discover that in Eric of all people living or undead, had Lafayette chained up in his basement. Also in that episode, we saw a terrified Lafayette bear witness to an extremely irritated Eric who happened to be getting his hair bleached by Pam, and so had foils in it as he disemboweled Laffy's fellow prisoner. All that and more in the premiere of season True Blood season 2.
Was last night better? No--but it was just as good.
My favourite scene in the Jessica-centric Episode 2.04 is above - CREDIT: HBO/ True-Blood.net.
This Hoyt-Jessica-Bill-Sookie scene was very well-played by all. Loved this particular moment:

Game Of Thrones Season 2: Recap #20:
The Tyrell family scores major points as Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) becomes King Joffery's betrothed (!)
EW.com has a list of new characters coming to HBO’s Game of Thrones in season three.
Fans have been wondering which names from George R.R. Martin’s third Song of Ice and Fire novel, A Storm of Swords, will be introduced next year, especially since the lengthy book is being divided into two seasons.
GAME OF THRONES showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss spoke about some of the creative changes this year and next season’s plans:
“[Jojen and Meera Reed] haven’t been written out,” Benioff says.
“It’s important to point out that that we have the largest cast on television right now. We introduced dozens of new characters in season two. If you hurl 300 characters at an audience, the story collapses under the weight of too many faces, too many names, and too many subplots. We need to be just as mindful of the audience members who have never read the books as we are of the readers; the series will fail if we only appeal to those who already know the characters. So we try to be parsimonious about how many new roles we introduce to the story and when we introduce them.”
Here’s A CHARACTER LIST of some of the new faces who will appear in season three of GAME OF THRONES on HBO:
– Mance Rayder: We’ve heard about him all season. A former member of the Night’s Watch who became the “King Beyond the Wall,” the leader of the Wildlings.
– Daario Naharis: A confident and seductive warrior.
– Jojen Reed; Meera Reed: A teenage brother and sister duo with special insights, (in the books, friends of the Starks).
– Edmure Tully: A brash young member of the Tully family. (Catelyn's brother)
– Ser Brynden Tully (The Blackfish): Catelyn Stark’s uncle.
– Beric Dondarrion: A skilled knight who is the leader of the outlaw group, Brotherhood Without Banners. Rumours persist that he has been killed many times yet he 'soldiers on.'
– Thoros of Myr: A red priest who follows the same religion as Melisandre.
– Tormund Giantsbane: A Wildling raider. (to say the least) 'Game of Thrones' scoop: Season 3 character list revealed -- EXCLUSIVE

I'm really enjoying NATALIE TENA ('Tonks' in the Harry Potter movies) as the Stark boys' protector, former wildling enemy, "Osha.' Without any prompting, she's done more than kill a guard to protect and shelter the boys, she's been very compassionate towards them. Her mettle is bound to be tested again as their 'adventure' continues in season 3.

The Hound: One-way Ticket (VIDEO)
The Hound of HBO's Game Of Thrones has been toned down from the ASoIaF series and IMO, is much more sympathetic than his book counterpart, who for example, held a knife to Sansa's throat and demanded she sing him a song before he made his departure/escape from King's Landing. I do think this works very well, televised. Here, Rory McCann, who plays Sandor Clegane ('The Hound'), gives his POV about the Hound's situaton in 'Blackwater.'

BOOK SPOILER: I'm just finishing 'the 3rd installment of the "A Song of Ice & Fire' series. In 'A Clash Of Kings,' near the very end, Jon Snow is having vivid dreams and in one he returns to Winterfell to be lord and restore it to it's former glory. Within the dream Jon Snow realises that he is a bastard and cannot ever be 'Lord of Winterfell'. Very soon after in his waking life however, a tempting offer is extended that could make this a reality.

This is a really pretty picture:
It's really best appreciated in the paper version of the magazine, IMO--that's why I subscribe. I've framed some Rolling Stone magazine photos, quite a number over the years. The 'True Blood' cover (see right sidebar, below) was up on my 'private' bathroom wall for some time.
I don't recall seeing any of Peter Dinklage's work prior to Game Of Thrones on HBO where he's been a huge success, including earning both an Emmy and a Golden Globe award for his portrayal of "Tyrion Lannister" on the HBO series, based on the George R.R. Martin epic book series.
ROLLING STONE is still a magazine worth subscribing to/paying for. I've done so for about 35 years now. The Peter Dinklage article is a good example of Rolling Stone's ability--still--to take a pop culture phenom and offer a fresh take on the human side of him.
Good interview by Brian Hiatt and lovely photography by Mark Seliger with beefcake courtesy of Peter Dinklage.
BONUS: Co-star and onscreen sister, Lena Headey ('Cersei' on GoT), an off-screen friend since their work together in 2006, refers to Dinklage as 'the most successful flirt I've ever met.'
PETER DINKLAGE as TYRION LANNISTER in GAME OF THRONES on HBO.
Love the shot of Tyrion's sellsword, 'Bronn' fighting in the Battle of Blackwater' :
Jerome Flynn is exactly as I would have pictured the character from reading the books and he certainly acts the part. I'm going on record as wanting Bronn's fate in the Battle of Blackwater be exactly like that of the book. It worked very well there and will here as well. Seriously. It's a very bloody battle.

The ill-fated 'Daphne' and Sam, (Sam Trammell) in 'Release Me':
Still being held in the basement at the Church, it becomes obvious to Sookie that Steve knew they were coming, but is not sure why. That tells her there is a spy among them. She tries to get a message to Bill, but he is being held prisoner by his maker, who refuses to let him go after the woman he loves. In flashbacks, Bill's conversion to a less violent lifestyle is revealed. When Steve learns Sookie's true identity, he makes the connection with Jason and assumes he's a spy. As they begin to wreak their vengeance, Sookie is saved by someone she has yet to meet. Back at the hotel Jessica and Hoyt decide to sleep together. In Bon Temps, Sam manages to escape, courtesy of a drunken Andy Bellefleur. Any plans he may have had for getting even with Daphne are overtaken by Maryann who has her own plans for her acolyte.(cont.)

She says that Maryann is a pagan Goddess, called Kali, Lilith, Isis, Gaia but she is a Maenad, the female follower of Dionysus. Gabe comes to Sookie's cell to rape her, but Godric saves her.

Having saved Sookie, Godric orders Eric to leave the premises with her - and to do so peacefully. Unfortunately, Steve Newlin and his followers are waiting for them in the Church and he isn't too choosy as to which vampire they use for their sunrise ceremony. Godric tries a different approach and hopes to make peace with Steve, who adamantly opposes any such possibility. Safely returned to their lair, Godric's peaceful approach and lack of desire for revenge doesn't sit well with some of his followers. Steve also has a surprise for him. In Bon Temps, Eggs tells Tara that he's blacked out again and they try to piece together where he's been. Maryann prepares a special dish for them. Sam Merlotte finds himself under arrest when Daphne's body is found in the restaurant freezer. Having finally slept together, Jessica and Hoyt discover a disadvantage to Jessica being a vampire.

Maryann cooks the dish Hunter's Soufflé using Daphne's heart and serves the dish to Tara and Eggs. Jessica discovers that she died virgin and her hymen restores after the intercourse. There is a reception for vampires and humans at Godric's house and the uninvited Luke comes wearing a bomb with silver. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A couple things about the screen caps above: Unless Alan Ball is pulling a fast one, Jason is shot by Sarah Newlin with a blob of red paint. It appears that both of them are missing the "meeting the morning" lock-in ceremony. Maybe that is for the best for both of them. Are the two thumbs above of Eric who clearly is healing from having silver chains around his neck and Steve Newlin in sequence? It appears that Steve is pitching or falling forward---has Eric killed him?*** It seems like we are missing a frame or two (maybe more) here. I was wrong about the couple in bed.That is clearly Jessica --her vamp teeth are visible and I guess that's Hoyt's hairline--it just seems odd-looking to me. Thanks to Jen S ,who helped me out on this.

Game of Thrones Season 2: Recap #15 VIDEO:
Despite the massive going's on in GAME OF THRONES Episode 15 "The Ghost of Harrenhal," the single moment that resonated with me most was the subtle yet deadly serious conversation at Renly's deathbed between Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish (Aiden Gillen) and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer). In the wake of Renly's murder, Littlefinger has urged the Tyrells to beat a hasty retreat before Stannis is upon them. Margaery is in agreement with him and in the course of their conversation, Littlefinger asks Margaery if she wishes to become 'a queen.' 'No' she says as she gazes upon Renly in death, 'I want to be THE queen.'
All of a sudden this seemingly demure barely-a-woman has tipped her hand about her end game. No doubt Littlefinger had already suspected as much as the Tyrell's are a matriarchy (see Inside the Episode #15 video) with the men seemingly rather pliable and the women calling the shots behind the scenes. Instead of a poor, young widowed bride, Margarey presents herself here as a self-possessed and introspective woman who is in no way out ot the game.

GAME OF THRONES - Episode 15 – 'The Ghost of Harrenhal' – RECAP:
We open the episode in King Renly’s tent as Renly talks war strategy & alliances with Catelyn Stark. Things sound somewhat promising but because of Melisandre's demon spawn birthing scene last week, everyone probably guessed that Renly's number was about to be up. Sure enough, but a few minutes into the episode Renly is driven through with the shadow demon's sword, falling into Brienne's arms and dying. Guards are upon her immediately but she quickly dispatches them. Then, with Catelyn's urging, she and Cat beat a hasty retreat. Later is a heart-rending scene between Brienne and Catelyn, where a still very distraught Brienne pledges her loyalty to Catelyn Stark. Perfectly played by both Gwendoline Christie as Brienne and Michelle Fairley as Catelyn.
Back in Renly’s camp, the Tyrells have discovered the fate of poor Renly. Loras seems much more upset than Margaery expressing his desire for revenge by killing Stannis himself. Margaery advises caution, as does Littlefinger. She though, is thinking only about the end game, and Littlefinger appears to be on the same page. Says he, 'You wish to be a queen?' Says she, 'No.'...pause...'I wish to be THE queen.'
Stannis has arrived in Renly’s camp and all of his bannermen except the Tyrells who have fled, have joined him. Davos needs to speak with Stannis of a 'hard truth' in the forthcoming battle strategy. Stannis tells him they next sail to Blackwater Bay and, despite Davos's protestations, Davos will command the fleet. Davos advises Stannis to leave Melisandre behind because, he tells him, he will lose his men to the Red Woman if they are victorious as she will be credited her for the victory. Stannis glumly acquiesces without argument.
In King’s Landing, Tyrion meets with Cersei about Renly’s death. Tyrion warns that they will be Stannis's next target. Cersei blithely responds that Joffrey has begun making siege plans, but she plays coy about what those plans are. Undaunted, Tyrion goes to Lancel to get the inside scoop. After verbally kicking around Cersei's boy-toy, Tyrion learns that the Queen Regent has ordered alchemists s make wildfire. Tyrion journeys to the Alchemist’s Guild seeing firsthand the potential in “the substance.” He orders Hallyne to continue making it under Tyrion's direction now.
On the Iron Islands, Theon is preparing to set sail on his ship, the Sea Bitch. His motley crew doesn’t respect him. He meets Dagmer Cleftjaw for the first time; Dagmer suggests instead of raiding some fishing villages, they attack the under-defended Torrhen’s Square. Theon tells him they could take it, but couldn’t hold it once Winterfell sends forces to reclaim it. The two men exchange knowing glances and Theon now sees a path to victory and the much-desired respect from his men.
In Winterfell, Bran is taking yet another 'town hall' meeting,' continuing to listen to the complaints of minor lords. To his irritation, little brother Rickon noisily mashes walnuts by his side. Breaking the staid process, Rodrik bursts in declaring Torrhen Square is under attack. Despite most of them off at battle with Robb, Rodrick tells Bran he could round up 200 fighting men. Bran orders him to do so and to reclaim Torrhen Square. Later, he talks with Osha about his dreams. He talks of the three-eyed crow and then tells Osha about his dream of the sea crashing over the walls Winterfell.
In the far North, the Night’s Watch has arrived at the Fist of the First Men. As they set up camp, Qhorin Halfhand arrives with a force from the Shadow Tower. Qhorin and Jeor Mormont, the Old Bear, talk strategy; the Halfhand wants to take a small force of men to eliminate Mance’s scouts and Jon Snow wants to go with him. Commander Mormont resists at first, but relents after an internal dialogue where he seems to remember his end-game with Snow. It doesn't hurt that Sam cheerfully offers to pick up Jon’s steward duties.
Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys is a guest of Xaro Xhoan Daxos, the prince who vouched for her and her troupe at the gates of Qarth. Dany has finally figured out how how to feed her dragons or rather how they can now feed themselves (they like their meat singed). Xaro hosts a meet and greet for Dany including the shiver-inducing warlock, Pyat Pree. He shows Dany a bit of magic and invites her to the House of the Undying. Clad in a bizarre wooden mask, Quaithe makes an appearance, delivering cryptic warnings to Jorah of impending danger. Later that night, Xaro demonstrates his immense wealth and then proposes marriage to Dany. He also delivers the news that King Robert is dead. Dany consults with 'adviser and friend,' Jorah. She considers accepting Xaro’s proposal and setting sail to Westeros immediately. Jorah advises her that they wait, that their allies are in Westeros and they need just one ship, not three, to get them there.
Tom Wlaschiha as Jaqen H’ghar
At Harrenhal, Arya attends to Lord Tywin as he meets with his lords. They are discussing what to do about Robb, as he continues to make mincemeat of them at every battle. Tywin recognizes Arya as a northerner. He asks of her what they say of Robb in the north. She tells him the tales of Robb riding a direwolf into battle, or even turning into a direwolf, and that he can’t be killed. “Do you think he can’t be killed?,” he intones. Arya meets his eyes steadily: “No. Anyone can be killed.” Tywin tells her to fetch some water as the already long meeting will continue much longer. On her way, she runs into the enigmatic Jaqen H’ghar dressed as a Lannister soldier. He tells her she owes the Red God three lives, that she must give a man three names and a man will do the rest. Arya gives him his first name, the torturer nicknamed The Tickler. Later, a scream and a thud comes from the courtyard. The Tickler lies on the ground, his head twisted 180 degrees around, facing up. Arya looks up at the battlements and sees Jaqen. He acknowledges her by holding one finger up to his face.
Also at Harrenhall, 'Gendry' (Joe Dempsie)
My thoughts on 'The Ghost of Harrenhal':
Maybe because I'm new to the book series, currently at the beginning of 'A Storm of Swords', I'm not getting bent about the changes being made in the adaption from the A Song of Ice and Fire book series to the HBO telling of the story. The author of the books, George R.R. Martin is an advisor on the adaption process and it seems most choices are done in service to the process that must be gone through in order to come out the other side, so to speak.
I don't care who Arya chose as her first kill. It needed to be someone that she hated's name. She more or less just plucked out of the air as Jaquen sprang the three deaths for three lives offer on her and she answered quickly. In my mind, the Tickler was as good as any. Book readers fussing over 'what will they do when' in book 3 need to focus on the now (adaption of book 2). If you love the book version so very much, go back and reread it to assuage your feelings of being cheated.
Speaking of 'Arya', Maisie Williams is a fantastic Arya. She's acting at the level of the best adult actors on the show. When I read the books now I picture her and that's about as good as it gets.
Though he didn't impress me all that much in season 1, Isaac Hempstead Wright as 'Bran' is increasingly growing on me. He never overplays and his restrained performance serves the story quite well.
Tom Wlaschiha as Jaqen H'ghar is mysterious, strange and very alluring. He's an instant favourite of mine.
Finally, the scene in the aftermath of Renly's murder between Stephen Dillane as Stannis and Liam Cunningham as Davos was churning with tumult just beneath it's muted surface. Kudos to both actors.

ALFIE ALLEN (Theon Greyjoy), LENA HEADEY (Queen Cersei), KIT HARRINGTON (Jon Snow), EMILIA CLARKE (Daenerys) - ROLLING STONE magazine shoot - March 2012:
GAME OF THRONES Melisandre (Carice van Houten) gazes upon the demon spawn (HBO):
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Last week’s “Game of Thrones” episode proved to be a shocker not just to the audience, but to one of its stars — Liam Cunningham.
The Irish actor was part of the eye-popping cliffhanger scene where his character, Ser Davos Seaworth, watched the red priestess, Melisandre (played by Carice van Houten), give birth to some sort of “monster.” “After I lifted my jaw off the ground, when I read the end of it, I was astonished,” he told AccessHollywood.com of his initial reaction to the script.
“I just really wanted to know how they were gonna shoot this. “When I saw where we were shooting it and what it was gonna look like, I thought, ‘This is like a Caravaggio — a beautiful painting.’ And [Director David Petrarca] said, ‘That’s exactly what our brief was — to make it look like this,’” Liam continued. “And this thing — it’s just so weird to watch. “When I do turn around — you have to get your head around this as an actor — to turn around and see the red priestess dropping the robe and [she’s] nine months pregnant, and two second before, she wasn’t pregnant at all? And for my character, who’s very real, he’s very human, and to see this thing crawl along the ground… this CGI-ed monster, is very, very scary and it’s an amazing end shot,” he enthused.
...“It’s not something you can rehearse. You kind of have to just play it and it’s very taxing on Carice, as well, because of the screaming and the different angles and the basic delivery — it’s not as difficult as a real one. However, when you’re in a cave, in the cold weather, and she’s virtually naked, it’s, I mean she had the tougher job of that,” he said.
To make the lithe Carice look pregnant in the scene, they brought in the experts, who made her faux belly move. “Carice had a prosthetic on which was operated by pneumatics, so we had the wonderful Conor O’Sullivan, who did ‘Clash of the Titans,’ he did ‘The Dark Knight’ — incredible guy, top of his game, whose operating this um, tummy,” he said.
... “It’s just really surreal. You’ve got a film crew and somebody’s giving birth to a monster in a cave, in Northern Ireland, in the middle of the night,” Liam said. “You’ve gotta laugh at that stuff. It could twist the mind of a sane person.” “... this is a wonderful cliffhanger… to finish [the episode]. ‘What the hell is this woman up to and what is she doing at this point?’ And we just cut it,” Liam laughed...
It seems that the casting for roles in DEXTER season 7 has begun in earnest. A number of casting calls went out earlier this week and now there's a name to go with a character with a 'major recurring role.'
From AUSIELLO:
In the first piece of casting for the show’s upcoming seventh season, Dexter has tapped Rome (HBO) actor Ray Stevenson to join the ensemble in a 'major recurring role' TVLine has learned exclusively.
Stevenson will play a high-ranking member of an Eastern European crime ring who arrives in Miami determined to learn who killed one of his associates.
Ray Stevenson
Stevenson has starred in TV's "Rome" and in movies like "Thor" and "Punisher: War Zone," will also star in the "Thor" sequel and this summer's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.'
"Dexter," which was renewed for a seventh and eighth season by SHOWTIME in November, will begin its seventh season on September 30.
No further details were available, including whether Stevenson will function as the new season’s 'Big Bad'.
Looking over the casting descriptions, it's possible that Stevenson will be playing this guy:
[VIKTOR KAREV] 30s, handsome, well dressed, stylish, slight Eastern European accent. He is a polished businessman who can get his hands dirty when he has to.
Also, I must take exception to Ausiello's assumption that there will be a single 'big bad' in season 7 DEXTER. If you recall (and how could you not?!) when last we saw them, Dex's (Michael C. Hall) sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), had just discovered Dexter in the act of committing a murder, decked out in his usual garb in his made-to-order 'kill room.' There is no way, no how that this is going to be a 'normal' season of Dexter (if there is such a thing) so I'm not ready to wager that anything this season will be business as usual.
Dexter's seventh season premieres Sunday, Sept. 30.
HOMELAND SCOOP!
Q: Is it too early to ask for Homeland scoop?
TVGuide: Never! Even though Carrie (Claire Danes) was booted from the CIA by David Estes at the end of Season 1, I hear she'll be travelling overseas on a special mission -- with Estes' approval -- when the new season, which reportedly takes place six months later, begins. And speaking of Estes: One of Brody's (Damien Lewis) first assignments from Abu Nazir requires him to break into a safe in his office!
"Eureka" When the MC heads north on a "charity" club run, they find more than just bike trouble when they cross state lines. And with Samcro out of Charming, Gemma's left in a compromising position with The League.
SONS OF ANARCHY SEASON 2 TRAILER
Reeling from the combined pressure of an ATF crackdown and an unprovoked murder, the Sons face a far more deadly threat from a cold-blooded enemy who will stop at nothing to drive them out of Charing - for good. As Jax and Clay square off over questiond of leadership and loyalty, lines are drawn and shaos reigns as the club threatens to destroy itself - from the inside out.
SONS OF ANARCHY- Season 2 Episode 2 SYNOPSIS- "Small Tears":
Jax’s decision without the club’s approval doesn’t sit well with Clay, especially when it brings dangerous repercussions upon the MC. Luann runs into trouble at her porn studio.
God. I just realized that "Small Tears," the title of episode 2 of Sons of Anarchy, is small tears of flesh-- damage done by the gang rape of Gemma. I'd been thinking (or perhaps I was not thinking) that it was small tears as in crying and I couldn't quite get my head around it. Now I do. Perhaps it is also a metaphor for the tears in her psyche and soul.
KATEY SAGAL has some insightful comments about Gemma's difficult recovery from a traumatic event on 'Sons of Anarchy's' first episode of Season 2.
UPDATE: BE SURE TO READ MY CURRENT COVERAGE OF SONS OF ANARCHY on my sister blog
"I think she knows everything." - Katey Sagal on Gemma Teller Morrow, her character on FX's Sons of Anarchy.
Within the insular world of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club, which rules the small California town of Charming, Gemma is a force of nature, not to be underestimated.
She's married to club president Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman), who co-founded the Sons with Gemma's late first husband, John Teller. The rest of the men in the club respect her role as not just Clay's wife but as a no-nonsense leader and someone who's been there from the start.
"They’re a little bit Peter Pan-ish, all of the [men in the club]," Sagal said in a recent phone interview. "They all need a strong mom. I think she kind of is the matriarch of all of them in a weird way. In the mythology of the club, she’s been there since the beginning. So she has probably seen these guys when they first got there. So they look to her as some sort of, I don’t want to say a moral compass, but she’s got a strong point of view."
As Season 2 began, tensions were rising between Clay and Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), Gemma's son and a powerful force as well, within the club. A white-supremacist gang had come to Charming with the stated intent of shutting down the club's illicit gun sales.
"..Gemma sees all of it. "...this is where I think she’s sort of different than possibly an organized-crime wife. They seem to have more of the see no evil [approach] -- they just don’t look. I think that Gemma is very involved in what’s going on," Sagal says.
Gemma's central role within the club had unexpected and disturbing consequences in the Season 2 premiere of the show.
About this seasons overarching theme she says,
"It’s about the undoing of lots of characters. Everybody kind of comes up against themselves, that's really what you see. (They’re forced to make choices in terms of loyalty to the club and whether or not it’s going to be for the good of all.)
A: "Yeah, this whole job has been a lot of those [situations] where I’ve walked through things and thought, “Well I’ve never done that.” Then you kind of do it and it just makes you better at what you do. So I have felt -- I have embraced the challenge. It couldn’t be a more loving, safe atmosphere where we work because everybody’s very vulnerable and it’s risky and there’s a lot of physical stuff. It’s just a really good environment for that. The way we did that first episode was very choreographed and timed. It was respectful. We just got through it, you know what I mean?"
Q: The rape of Gemma is clearly a pivotal moment for the club, I think, and for obviously for your character. ... you('ve) talked about how difficult a process that was for you -- that it was weeks of difficulty...
A: "Well you know, it’s always sort of the job of the actor to make real make-belief circumstance. In this particular case, it required me to visit some pretty dark places but just seemed to hang around with me after I left work. You know, it’s hard sometimes to just detach yourself from what you’re doing. Most times it’s not; most times it’s okay, but in this particular case … The timeline of our show is very [compact]. Most of the events take place within a week. So it’s not like from episode to episode there’s weeks of time [passing for the characters]. Those first five [episodes cover about a three week period and then] she starts to finally pull herself together a little bit. But those first two or three episodes take place [for Gemma] over a course of two or three days. Then coupled with -- there’s a lot of shame that comes from that experience. I think that Gemma is a woman who always sort of leads with her sexuality; she’s confident, she’s strong. This takes it to another place. In my imagination this may have been something that happened to Gemma as a kid. She may have been one of those kinds of kids. I sort of threw that in the mix that -- this is reminiscent of a bad time as well."
Q:... Gemma is...such a powerful personality.... her power is, to some degree, in her sexuality and in her strength. It seems like both of those are kind of under attack; she’s wavering in every way.
Claire Danes and Damien Lewis in HOMELAND on SHOWTIME. Season 2 debuts on Sept 30, 2012:
Despite there being many questions remaining for HOMELAND, due to Claire Danes' sublime performance as 'Carrie Matheson', a bi-polar CIA agent who is right about a returned war hero in the wrong way and because of Mandy Patinkin's wonderful portrayal of her mentor , a man with many years CIA and as many psychic demons, I totally need to know if Carrie is alright. Danes did such a convincing job of Carrie's meltdown which culminated with her admitting herself for electroconvulsive therapy, that I'm anxious to get back to the show to see if she's gonna pull through enough to piece her life--which she was just barely keeping on track--back together.

RECAP GAME OF THRONES 'Garden Of Bones' Episode 2.04 (#14) HBO:
Arya is taken to Harrenhal, along with Gendry, Hot Pie and the other prisoners. At Harrenhal, the Mountain makes his first season 2 appearance while we meet The Tickler for the first time. Arya first begins reciting her “nightly prayer”--repeating the names of those she intends to kill: “Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound.” Her experience in the camp has added a name to that list, though: Polliver, one of the Lannister guards who abused her fellow prisoners. Gendry is chosen to be the Tickler’s next victim but Lord Tywin Lannister arrives just in time. He scolds the Mountain and his men for not putting his captives to work. He orders them to find work for the prisoners and immediately recognizing Arya for the girl that she is, takes Arya as his cupbearer. Gendry is enlisted as a smith.
Meanwhile, the 'Young Wolf', King of the North Robb Stark, wins a great victory against the Lannister forces. However, he gets a reality check from 'Talisa,' a pseudonym apparently, for Jeyne Westerling (Oona Chaplin). Talisa saves a Lannister soldier’s life by amputating his leg, while Robb holds him down. Later she challenges Robb on his plan after he wins the war, to which Robb replies, he doesn’t know.
Richard Madden as King Robb Stark and Oona Chaplin as Talisa'
Back in King’s Landing, King Joffrey is punishing Sansa for her brother’s victory. Thankfully, Tyrion arrives and puts a stop to it.
Later, Joff's uncle Tyrion sends him prostitutes as a present after his sellsword Bronn, suggests that maybe Joff might benefit getting un'clogged' (ew). We quickly see that Joffrey isn't interested in getting off sexually, rather he orders Ros to beat the other prostitute at crossbow-point to send a message to his uncle. While we don’t see Tyrion receive Joff’s message, we do see him discover Lancel Lannister's secret (he's bedding Queen Regent Cersei) and use it turn him into an informer.
Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, 'Dragon Mother' Daenerys has arrived at the gates of Qarth, “the greatest city that ever was or will be.” Her stubbornness pays off as her threat—“turn us away and we will burn you first”—impresses, and after some deliberation outside of the city gates, Dany’s khalasar is finally allowed entrance to the city after Xaro Xhoan Daxos invokes ‘sumai’, agreeing to stand for her.
Littlefinger arrives at Renly’s camp with a message for Catelyn: Tyrion wishes to trade Jaime Lannister for Sansa and Arya. As a gesture of goodwill, Littlefinger delivers Ned’s bones to Catelyn.
The next day, Stannis arrives on the scene to treat with Renly, both men wanting to take the throne in King’s Landing. Stannis, the “charmless” elder, believes the crown is his by divine right. Younger brother Renly has many friends and has gathered a much larger force but he can’t know his brother’s secret weapon—the “child” his high priestess Melisandre will be bearing him later that night. Stannis delivers the ultimatum, Renly has until dawn to surrender and bend the knee. That night, Stannis sends Davos and Melisandre to the shore. There, in a cave beneath Renly’s camp, Melisandre disrobes, lies on the ground and gives birth to a shadow demon.

With the rest of season 3 except for the finale episode summaries available above, one has a pretty good notion, if you've read the books, where the story is going. I'm just barely getting ahead in the 2nd book upon which this season is based, 'A Clash Of Kings.'
Speaking of Dany and her dragons, we have not seen too much of them of late. Hopefully this week will bring more of the Mother of Dragons and her entourage.
Game of Thrones - Daenerys' Rebirth / Birth of the Dragons VIDEO:
Dany’s Dragons
Drogon – Named after Daenerys’s dead husband Khal Drogo, he is the largest and most aggressive of her three dragons. He has black scales, his horns and wings are blood red, and he shoots a black flame with streaks of red. He is believed to be the reincarnation of Balerion “The Black Dread”. Drogon’s egg was black with scarlet ripples and swirls.
Rhaegal – Named for Dany’s brother Rhaegar Targaryen, who died at the hands King Robert during Robert’s Rebellion, he is green with bronze scales. Rhaegal’s eyes are bronze-colored, which glow with their own heat, and his flame is orange-yellow with veins of green. Rhaegal’s egg was deep green with shiny bronze flakes that disappeared when Dany turned it.
Viserion – Named for Dany’s brother Viserys, his scales are cream but his horns, wing bones, and spinal crest are gold. Viserion’s teeth are described as being shining black daggers and his eyes look like molten pools of gold. He shoots a pale gold flame with red and orange streaks. Although he is cream in color, Viserys is commonly referred to as the White Dragon. His egg was pale cream and streaked with gold.
Dragonstone (GAME Of THRONES)
Native to the eastern continent of Essos, dragons are mythical creatures that have been extinct for over 150 years. Dragons breathe fire, they prefer to cook meat before eating it, and emanate great heat from their bodies. They have even been known to steam during cold nights. Dragons are relatively intelligent creatures and are capable of forming extremely strong bonds to the humans who raise them. It is believed that they are tied to magic; and since their extinction, the power of magic has diminished and the winters have grown colder.
Dragons were first discovered by the Valyrians 5,000 years ago and they mastered the art of raising them, eventually using them as weapons. The Doom of Valyria brought a sudden, drastic end to the Valyrian Empire and, ultimately, the only three dragons that survived were owned by the Targaryen Family on Dragonstone....

Game Of Thrones Season 2: RECAP #13 VIDEO
Episode thirteen, entitled “What Is Dead May Never Die" BEST SCENES RECAP:
Best scenes in episode #13:
Who is the snitch?:
'In the book, this scene works well with Tyrion’s internal monologue counting off each of his offers but that obviously needed to be adapted for the visual medium of television.
What writer Bryan Cogman and director Alik Sakharov did, having Tyrion’s three offers all come in one scene with seamless cuts, was perfect and a wonderful example of taking a memorable sequence from the books and adapting it to screen while using the strengths of the visual medium to make it different, but just as good.'
Brienne of Tarth:
Not a disappointment
Though I'm relatively new to the world of a Game of Thrones, it became clear quickly when speaking of characters introduced in the second installment of the "A Song of Ice and Fire' series that 'Brienne of Tarth' (not 'Lady' Brienne, TYVM) is a fan favourite. The actor portraying her is Gwendoline Christie and at a height dwarfing many, she seems to physically suit the role terrifically and her personality seems spot on, too.
Yoren, we hardly knew ye:
Francis Magee did a really nice turn as Yoren, the 'wandering crow' who at season one's end shielded Arya from actually seeing her father's beheading and has kept her safe thus far under the pretext of collecting orphan boys as The Wall recruits. Arya was 'Arry' a' boy', but her and Yorn's luck especially, ran out when King Joffery's posse, sent in search of King Robert's bastard Gendry, stormed the gates of Yoren's haven with it's ragged band of boys. Yoren went down vastly outnumbered and fighting hard.
Theon Greyjoy is a Very Bad Boy:
Theon (the Ironborn) Greyjoy – Alfie Allen is making a memorable impression in season 2 with a compelling arc that paints a picture of the son that Balon Greyjoy handed over as a guarantee that he would war no more. Robb Stark has sent Theon into the lion's den to the Iron Islands to broker an alliance with Theon's father, Lord Balon Greyjoy and Allen is doing a doing a bang-up job showing the internal conflict of Theon’s character. I actually felt sorry for him this episode. And that baptism scene was perfect. “What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger.”
Recapping this episode:
We spent a good while in King’s Landing, where Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) made three different offers in the hopes of uncovering Cersei’s snitch. Pycelle was ferreted both as Cersei's informant and as a traitor to the preceding King's Hands and so Tyrion ordered him thrown into the Black Cells.
In his role as both King's Hand and rule-breaker, Tyrion had the power to broker a set-up where the very bored and restless Shae became Sansa’s handmaiden. He also set Littlefinger to long lost almost love Lady Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) about releasing Jamie Lannister, and had a drink with Varys the Spider, giving Tyrion a lot of face time in this episode.
ALFIE ALLEN AS THEON GREYJOY in GAME OF THRONES Episode 13:
'Beyond the Wall, Craster kicked out the Night’s Watch and Mormont revealed to Jon Snow that he knows what Craster does with his sons. Before leaving, Sam gave Gilly a token and promised that he would return.
At Winterfell, Bran continues to have his wolf dreams. When he explains him to Luwin, the maester explains to him that magic no longer exists in the world. Big help he is.
On the Iron Islands, Balon revealed his plans to Theon; he plans to take the North by capturing and holding the Neck and eventually conquering or accepting the surrender of the remaining holdfasts and castles.
Theon contemplates warning Robb of this surprise attack, but decides to turn his back on his adopted family and align with his true family. This was a small, quiet but hugely emotional scene with vast likely consequences, of course.'
Renly and his camp of 100,000 strong are quite an impressive sight but are they all for show with little substance?
The conquering blue knight was revealed as Brienne of Tarth, a woman, and then appointed to Renly’s Kingsguard. Later that night, Renly tried to consummate his marriage with Margaery, but failed. Margaery has a highly prgmatic understanding of the importance of an heir and offers a threesome with her brother to help Renly get the job done. That was not in the book. So go HBO! Because you can. :)
Lastly, Arya has a heart-to-heart with Yoren before Amory Lorch and his band attacks. Arya saves Jaqen, while Yoren gets killed and the rest of the group gets captured. Lommy is killed and Arya, in a moment of exceptionally quick thinking, tells the Lannister soldiers that he was Gendry.
Q: What do you have on Ayra and Gendry or cutie Jon Snow on Game of Thrones?
A: How do we put this in a way that won't make you freak out for the next week? Hmm, we dont think there is one so we'll give it to you straight. Arya (Maisie Williams) and Gendry (Joe Dempsie) are in imminent danger. Gendry in particular will cross paths with someone who has a disgusting and horrifying way of getting answers. Let's just say this particular method of gaining information isn't in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
