If they were gonna go with something modern and out of place obviously they should have just been playing The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand".
omggggggggggggg

I'm a little concernicus about Misfits dude as well, even having read the books and read rumors and stuff. But IDK like we also never see Theon's torture on the page in the books, just his recollections? What are they doing??? I don't knooooow!
My coworker (who also is catching up on the books right now) and I were talking today about how it seems like they're going through stuff really quickly? I thought if anything ASOS would take 1.5-2 seasons of TV, but instead it feels like they're already almost getting into some AFFC stuff. My coworker is trying to read the books before the tv seasons and she was like "I'M STRESSED I HAVE TO FINISH AFFC BEFORE ANY MORE OF THIS SEASON AIRS OR I'M WORRIED I'M GONNA GET SPOILED FOR STUFF."
Yeah, I don't watch Misfits, so I don't know the guy, but I'm definitely confused about him since none of this is from the books. I know who he probably is, but they could still surprise me.
I'm wondering how they're splitting the season too because I know at least one thing that's going to happen near the end of this season happens more than halfway through the book, so it's definitely not an even split. But a LOT of shit happens in this book, so they may be taking their time with some stuff (like Dany's current storyline is just one chapter in the book, but they're dragging it out over several episodes) and moving things around.
I've already read the series, but I still gasped and went "NOOO!" when they suddenly took Jaime's hand! Aaahhhhhh!!!! But then I snort-laughed with confusion when that upbeat song played, lmao wow. Talk about mood whiplash...
As soon as the captor dude started being nice to Jaime i knew it was coming, but JEEEEEESUS watching it happen was painful.
I usually really like a smash cut to the credits with a bold song choice, i think it makes a big end note that much more striking, but in this case the song was just completely the wrong tone. It made it so goofy, like even goofier than the way episodes of True Blood end. At least the credits songs on True Blood fit the show.
I loved the smash cut to "The Bear and the Maiden Fair." It was fucking hilarious, and I thought it was perfect because cutting off someone's hand is kind of ludicrous when you think about it. There was like that one second of pure horror and then the song was like a much-needed comic relief.
I don't know, when you put it like that, i agree that it was a good mood lightener, and it did make me smile, but it was just so unusual for this show to be so irreverent after such a big violent moment (that's the internet's job!) and i really didn't like that version of the song. It could have been upbeat without being so aggressively modern pop rock. I LOVED The National's "Rains of Castamere," i think that was a vastly superior modernization of an in-universe song.
i am delighted to know that a) i'm not the only one who still watches survivor b) not the only one thinks malcolm has gotten douche-y this time around and c) lives for cochran's delightfulness on this show!
I've read that Malcolm said he was a total asshole in his confessionals last season but it all got edited out. I started to like him less even toward the end there because he was trying to screw over Denise and acted bitter on the jury, and this season his cockiness has been a lot more prevalent. He's still fairly charming though, certainly much more than full-on douchebags Reynold and Eddie.
i'm not surprised. i never was too much of a malcolm fan at all. smart player, sure, but he's so full of himself it's irritating. reynold is douchey too, but i find eddie too clueless to be douchey. like, he's just... there. wasting space. being associated with douchey guys like reynold.
BUT YES COCHRAN FOREVER! i just watched last week's ep in full, and i loved how jeff let him wear the immunity necklace as long as possible.
