Here There Be Dragons

They made me pick between Homeland and Game of Thrones for Favorite Cable TV Show.  Urgh!  Which do you think I picked?

Silver lining?  NCIS has a nomination.

Knowledge gained? I learned that I don't know much about pop culture.... I was lost in some categories.

I find myself cheating on my TV true love (NCIS) while we are apart.

Let me preface by saying that I am not a fan that passes hiatus by watching repeats week after week.  It is actually very rare that I rewatch an episode and when I do get the urge - I have my downloaded episodes. Tuesday nights are my own again!
 
I haven't read a fanfic (other than our tag fic) or visited a spoiler site in weeks.  I occassionaly log into tumblr, but that's mostly to see what it is going on with my newfound loves.  It's not that I am not interested in NCIS fanfic or what is going on in the NCIS fandom, because I very much am (can't see that changing) and I have several stories marked to come back to later, but right now I have other relationships that I am trying on.

I find I am falling deeper and deeper in love with my new shows: Once Upon A Time, Rizzoli & Isles, The Borgias, and Downton Abbey.  I have actually been having affairs with Homeland and Game of Thrones for awhile now.

Maybe what I love about these shows is that while I have favorite characters - I don't have favorite couples and there are definitely no ships in the harbor of any these shows.  I can just sit back and enjoy the show.

Don't get me wrong - NCIS is still my favorite and I can't imagine anyone replacing T/Z as my (one and only) ship - but sometimes being a shipper is hard and it's nice not being vested in a pairing while I watch how the show plays out week after week.  For this reason alone, I sometimes envy the folks who watch NCIS and don't ship.

I am sure I will return to my first love when new episodes start to air and I am really very excited about the premiere, but for right now I am happy being a cheater and NCIS will just have to scoot over and make room - I don't think I can be monogamous anymore.

Loved it!

more later as I can't do cuts with my iPad & don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet.

CANNOT wait for Season 3 (which has been confirmed)

was viewing perfection!

favorite scene: Tyrion's reaction to being referred to as a monkey demon or perhaps it was demon monkey.... either way...ROTFLMO at his expression!

Might explain my love affair with these books....
