Re: UCLA Bruins
The show made it very clear who did it though it was obvious to me as a book reader. I bet if you watched again, knowing what's coming, you'd pick up on it. It wasn't as clear how it was done though there were some clues for that as well. They were pretty subtle.

Yes, rewatch the scene carefully.

Re: UCLA Bruins
The show has opened up a bit of a future plot hole for me, and I wonder how they'll resolve it.
[spoiler=Book spoilers for game of thrones]Jaime was not at the purple wedding. That character has now witnessed what everybody else saw that made them think Tyrion poisoned him, whereas in the books he had not yet reached Kings Landing. I guess its not that huge of a deal, but it seems to me that he probably wouldn't go out of his way to set him free after actually witnessing it.[/spoiler]

Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Re: UCLA Bruins
My theory
[spoiler=]I thought the perp was never revealed in the books. I wonder if the series will offer the culprit. What about Cersei herself? Sick of Joffrey's bullshit, with a chance to have beloved Tommen take over and also get rid of Tyrion in the process. She pointed right to him but there's no way he could have done it. I think the Fool has a role and possibly on orders from Cersei. He was trying to get Sansa out b/c he knew that with Tyrion charged with the crime, she would be cast out of the palace and on her own.[/spoiler]

Re: UCLA Bruins
[spoiler=Answer to Stu]In the books its semi-revealed, but since you're dealing with chapters being written from a characters point of view, you never know if the characters they are speaking to are lying to the POV character about their involvement or not. Since George R R Martin wrote the episode and this is TV where we see events as they actually occur rather than relying on conversations, the episode pretty much confirmed the explanation we get in the books[/spoiler]

Re: UCLA Bruins
I have to say that Archer, while a nice twist in the plot, hasn't really inspired me this season.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: UCLA Bruins
the plot line jumps so much with each episode, its hard to keep up - that's my biggest problem with it - I liked it better when each episode was contained and closed out at the end.

Re: UCLA Bruins
If you are looking for a different, interesting movie consider "Upstream Color" - definitely not your normal fare.
Shane Carruth wrote, produced, directed, edited, did the music and directed the cinematography - as well as had one of the lead roles. Without spoiling it it is an artsy love story, drama, mild horror film about two people, parasites and some pigs and flowers and some bad guys.....well, trust me, it's different. But it will hold your attention and make you think. Or not.

Re: UCLA Bruins
I have no idea what to do with that review.
Is it on Netflix?

Re: UCLA Bruins
I would classify the movie as "worthwhile".
It won some awards, Sundance, I think....just a different experience. It's not Godfather II, but it will hold your attention.

Cinemax has been running the Godfather trilogy this month. I sat thru II last week. I tried III last night and I couldn't watch it.

Re: UCLA Bruins
I refuse to acknowledge that GFIII even exists. It's GF I&II (which are really one movie) and nothing else.

Re: UCLA Bruins
It's... unique. Human-pig-orchid parasites, drugs, hypnosis, love story, bad guys, drama...
Just...interesting.
