More re Homeland (a bit grumpy)

Next week's TV Guide arrived this morning (I keep meaning to cancel it but forgetting), and I read the blurb for ep 8 of Homeland, which, as is the way of things with this magazine was on the spoilery side. Grousing about that behind cut, so if you want to avoid any and all spoilers, don't read.

Guardian GoT blog

My newspaper is running its Game of Thrones blog again. They've chosen to put it up after the US airing of the episode rather than wait one day and put it up after the UK one. I don't agree with the rationale, and nor do some of the commenters. Nice review, though.

Which is more than can be said for John Crace's review in today's paper. Bizarrely, he's been given the show to review when he doesn't like fantasy and hasn't even seen season 1, so I can't say I'm very sympathetic to his complaint that the show didn't spend enough time filling people in on what's happened earlier. That's what DVD box sets are for.

As I recall, last week's review of the first episode of season 5 of Mad Men was by someone who doesn't get the show and doesn't get the point of Don Draper (does he have to have one?). Strange. It's like they're trying to put people off the shows.
