Isn’t TV one of the new American Gods?

When plans for the HBO Game of Thrones series were announced, I had friends who became very excited and followed all production news religiously. I hadn’t read the books, had no plans to read the books, and really didn’t understand the fervor.

Now that the first season of Game of Thrones has ended, I understand. HBO has announced a 6 season series for one of my favorite authors and books, Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, to air in 2013. Now I’ll be the one following production news and getting giddy over advanced previews (and hopefully another novel or two by Gaiman).

Only one Game of Thrones episode left in the season, and I’m kind of sad.  Not sad that I  won’t be sad from the depressingness of the show on Sunday evenings, but sad that our little end of weekend ritual with friends will be ending.

I’ve been really enjoying ending my weekend hanging out with people I care about, having dinner and talking. The show ended up being secondary to the event, at least for me. Maybe we can think of a way to continue the low key and relaxed get together, whether or not there’s something on the television

Sunday Nights

We are watching both Game of Thrones on HBO and The Killing on AMC on Sunday nights right now. It makes for a rather intense and depressing 2 hours of television. While they are very different shows, both are incredibly well acted, and I am invested in knowing what happens next. (I can’t say I’m enjoying them, as the stories are a little too dark for that word.)

However, it really does mean I need to find something fun and distracting to do before bed on Sunday nights, in order to avoid thinking of depressing subjects as I fall asleep.
