Lexx!
The first sci-fi series I watched continuously! It was showing on Norway's second government-run television channel, which had just been introduced and had really bad reception in our area. My parents didn't really approve of me watching such a freaky show, so I watched it in half secrecy in my attic bedroom on a 14-inch "portable" color TV older than myself. I had to constantly twiddle the antenna and the analog reception control to get a picture at all, and even then it would often revert to black and white because of the bad signal. I was completely fascinated, and the brain-eating slugs scarred me for life.

I feel old now.

Ditto.

Little did they know that the volcano was lactose intolerant.

Cool siftup! And with homebrew, yum yum! I will be back in Norway for vacation in mid July, maybe we can make a siftup with even more norwegian sifters. There's quite a lot of us now.

Thanks!

Caution: Spoilers galore.

I found the House of the Undying scene to have a fittingly creepy mood, even though it was changed a lot. The scene with Drogo seemed to me to be stolen directly from the Accepted tests that Aes Sedai novices go through in The Wheel of Time, but it was a powerful scene nonetheless. I think they missed an opportunity when Dany exited north of the wall to show her a glimpse of the dangers coming from the north. What I missed most compared to the book was the vision Dany has of Rhaegar playing the harp and talking to some woman about his son, which is an important scene for a certain popular fan theory.

What annoyed me most in this season was how the story of Jon Snow and Qhorin Halfhand played out. You didn't really get to see how Qhorin became an important mentor to Jon Snow. Even worse: It was not pointed out clear enough that Qhorin practically ordered Jon to kill him in order to be able to infiltrate the wildlings. Instead it looked like Jon just killed him out of self-defense.

But there were more things I liked than disliked. Theon's battle speech scene was hilarious, and they pulled off Jaqen's face-changing really well. I also liked Luwin's demise; it shocked me how he was just stabbed out of hand, even though I knew he would die. I fear it might be a bit cryptic to non-book readers why Winterfell was suddenly burned down, though. There was also some brilliant acting from Sophie Turner as Sansa when she learns she doesn't have to marry Joffrey after all.

All in all, I liked most of the changes in this season. Some of them even made the story better than in the book, at least for the TV medium.

This sort of puzzle just screams for a chart. Or even better: Small figurines representing the different pets and people and so on that you can group together as you will. It took me about 15 minutes to solve after I had drawn the chart.

Hello-ello-ello-ello-ello-ello?


Is it me you're looking for?

Daybreak - Chet Baker
Family - The National Bank
Cigarett - Bo Kaspers Orkester
10,000 Days (Part 2) - Tool
Green Earrings - Steely Dan

Fairly straightforward if you ask me. I get up in the morning to spend time with my family. I don't smoke, so the cigarette might be a metaphor for general morning rituals. I'll get approximately 27 years (10,000 days) of happy family life before all the kids have moved out. I will first have to establish a family, though. This can be facilitated by gifting some earrings of rare design to a certain someone. Maybe that certain someone is the one who sent the message?
