Oh, Arya, hands down. And Davos. In a world with precious little, both had a deep integrity; and managed to survive.

Arya was incredible! She was a survivor. Tywin was a bad guy but the meetings at the table were hilarious. I liked Varys too. Especially when he went on the run with Tyrion.

Are you talking about the Sopranos? I can see that, lol.

Honestly I'm surprised how much Grand Theft Auto 5 ripped off from this show.

The Handmaid!

The Handmaid!

Honestly I tried watching the first episode years ago and couldn't stomach it.

if I had a Youtube channel it would probably be worth it to go over the series.. but with just myself.. I don't see the reason to put myself through such torture.. lol.

Just torture yourself once. The first episode will do.

I have a banging sinus headache from all this cold and dry air. Wondering when the aspirin will bring some relief.

Hope you are typing 6 feet from the computer.

Maybe just one..

Still not sure why you want me to watch this show so badly, lol.

I’m on a phone. But thanks for the advice.

My father out of the ER. Sadly he seems to have developed another chronic condition not related to his vasculitis. They gave him some medications, and I hope they help him.

He's only in his 60s and lived a pretty healthy life. His vasculitis already hampered his quality of living, I don't want him to permanently suffer from anything else.

Ok... you're practising long distance. Got it.

My husband and I saw the original movie from the Atwood novel. We watch it as well but it is incredibly depressing. We are not so much into the dystopian stuff as entertainment. It has a catch but it’s a twisted view of religious fundamentalism for profit and treating others as cattle. Again, a lot of caste system ideology. Not a feel good investment in entertainment. A lot of mindless sex and jealously and, resentment. For good reason in that sick world.

Edited in- Just an overall simplistic view. There are shades to everything but I won’t go further into the deeper aspects of this type of propaganda/entertainment. The lighting or lack of it is off putting too. No offense to anyone that enjoys it. It’s darn scary! Lol

I might give the movie a watch. Robert Duvall is in it and that might be enough to make the film at least tolerable enough to watch. Lol.

I love Robert Duvall but he does not shine in this one like most of his roles.

Uh oh.. lol.

Does Faye Dunaway shine... at least?

 

[Michie]

Well she about quit the role saying her character (Serena Joy) was not strong enough. She was alright in the film but I’m just not a big fan of her work to be honest.

I haven't seen any of the screen adaptations, but having read and loved the book for its extraordinary prose, I can't imagine that any of them do it justice.

 

[MehGuy]

This really annoying co-worker who for months has done all she can to always be around me and pesters me to go out with her and plays all these tiring mind games.. it never ends with her. Found out we work together tomorrow and almost lost it.

The series is very tedious. The cinematography is incredibly dark. It’s a chore to watch. Many people love it though. For whatever reason. The books are pretty much always better that the depiction of them.

I think she might need to consult a doctor. Either she is obsessed with you or is feeding off of making you uncomfortable. I’d go to HR but that’s just me.

I know.. just as a guy I don't feel comfortable going to the HR route. Only thing that might push me over the edge and go to HR is if she physically attacked me or something.

I think it's a little of both, she's obsessed with me and likes making me feel uncomfortable for not accepting her advances. Only good thing about this, is I'm pretty sure she personally had no hand in us working together tomorrow.

Regardless, I’m sure she will take advantage of the situation as she always does. I have been reading your experiences with her and she sounds like one creepy chick.
