With Roxy being an officer's wife and FRG leader, as well as pregnant with twins, I don't think we can look to her for "fun" any time soon. They decided to mature the character, and that's what they've done.
xmeg816x - They're going to have to do a lot more prep work on Sasha to make us like her, aren't they? Like all her friends said, you can't just be a bitch all the time and expect them to put up with it. She has to give, and a lot more than just a little. She's a crash and burn type character. Something huge has to happen to bring her down to earth.
Hello ABCFamily - My favorite bunhead character, without a doubt, is Boo. She's compelling in more ways than one. Not only her compassionate personality, but that she is an athletic dancer versus a willowy, traditional ballerina. I think she gives more girls the idea they, too, can pick up dance and be graceful without what is considered the normal ballerina figure.
Germaine, I don't think Hubbell was truly a love interest. He was more of life change vehicle. She admitted she didn't love him, so I can understand how another man could catch her eye relatively quickly. It's like she's in a game of dodge ball and all the balls are hitting her at once.
Hi R, Yes, I have lost someone close to me. Many people, actually. The difference is that I didn't stand there on day one devastated screaming that my heart was utterly broken and my life changed forever and two days later just be over it. It's been three days. THREE DAYS. From the marriage to the episode. I'm not talking about Hubbell's MO, which was obviously ridiculous. I'm talking about Fanny in particular. At least Michelle admitted she was still numb. And, actually, I can state my opinion. That's the fun part about writing reviews.
Fear not, Ceceliz, as I am not the reviewer, but merely reviewed the pilot. A pilot which I, admittedly, had no intention of watching. It was that admission that brought on the GG comparisons because the thought of watching anything even remotely resembling a "bunhead" was not something that interested me.
Amy Sherman-Palladino, however, has a style and a design to her writing that draws you in, no matter your interests. If that meant that I made comparisons to Gilmore Girls for the pilot review and perhaps engaged viewers for later showings, I will not apologize.
I asked my Twitter followers where they'd rather work last night. Massive Dynamic or Global Dynamic. Global seems like so much more fun, don't you think??? How Hot was Jo in her leathers? I want to be Erica Cerra please. :-)

@richard3 Well, it's a pretty good guess the scar won't amount to much because his nose was most definitely in tact as the credits rolled. To be a half man with half a nose just added to his pain and humiliation. I think you are right in guessing it will be emotional pain that will be explored. Thankfully, we have Dinklage to do the exploring - it's in good hands!
LittleViking - of COURSE I know what happened in 2036, but it also happened in 2015, which would mean we can expect a 3 year time jump for the next 13 episodes. I don't know if I believe that will happen. We also have a bullet that Etta wore around her neck and a living Olivia. This is Fringe. Things change. If you believe that 2036 was a certain future then I think maybe you haven't watched a single episode in the last four years. Where have you been? *shrugs*
I am far from politically correct, but can we please not bring bigotry to the table in the comments here? If you don't like a character's motivations, fine, but let's try to stick to story, writing and acting, please. Thank you!
This column is not meant as a crucifixion of the writers of the series, more as observations of the difficulties and challenges the writers are faced with in bringing such a huge undertaking to the screen. Admittedly, there are times when I am overwhelmed.
Parts of the book that were stand out for me were not necessarily the same for the screenwriters. That requires re-reading and comparison. While this particular episode felt as if much was changed, there have been other episodes where I have noted how much the screenwriters brought directly from Martin's masterful works.
Harrenhal's Ghost threw me around and I had a difficult time finding my center between the books and the show. This is NOT a regular review of the series, but meant to be read by those who have also read the series and want to discuss the similarities and differences.

Hi Barbara! Welcome! I wish Tanya had been pregnant, too. I guess it was too soapy for the soap. I kept hoping that maybe she just didn't know and time was passing slowly and we'd find out late. At least Denise and Frank still include her as family. That's something. I wish she would take them up on it a bit more, because as it is she must be terribly lonely.
Hi guys! The round table will be posted tomorrow. We had fun playing with this one, with such an open story the dialog was endless! Why four stars? I was feeling four at the time. After multiple viewings, I may change my mind, but at the time I wasn't five starred. Part of it is because it as I said, my brain was in turmoil. What to say? What to say?!
I've been loving reading the comments. Keep em coming! No, I have no idea if the show is renewed, love the idea of the Easter Egg, and saying that it going straight through 2015 was a long shot was because I believe it's a long shot. That's all. Personally, I could watch it like a soap, ever day!
Everyone who is worried that Anna Torv is being mistreated need not worry. A) Even if Olivia would (God Forbid) die, we still have Fauxlivia and B) this story was years into a possible future. As someone said, storyline dictated. We're good!
Hi Betty! I don't think they're jumping the shark, but they are definitely having a difficult time finding their footing this season. I'm enjoying Roxy and the FRG and the addition of Gloria and Gisella (thanks Meredith - I couldn't remember her name for the life of me!). I like Charlie and Roland a lot, and because I like Charlie, I'm interested in Nicole (again, thanks Meredith).
But where is the root of Army Wives? The base friendship of our main characters? That's what I really miss. They're very fractured and introducing a lot of new characters to try to fill the gap isn't really helping with regard to cohesiveness.
Gavin, I think we're ok for a spoiler or two here, because this is intended for an analysis for those of us who have read the books. And you're right. We didn't know about Mel before the birth, and to be honest, until I saw it ahead of time I didn't even put it together. I seriously thought when reading that Stannis was the one who "did it" and just lied. LOL Shows how smart I am!!
