I am ridiculously sleep-deprived due to reading 90% of Lisa Gardner's new book Catch Me late last night/early this morning. That, plus the combination of the last two episodes of Game of Thrones REALLY freaked me out at two o'clock in the morning.
( spoilers )
To continue, Catch Me was very well done and really suspenseful. As uncomfortable as it was, I really enjoyed getting into the main character's broken, fractured head-space. Although I wish they'd spent more time on the romance; there was a lot of potential there, and it didn't have quite enough page-time to have the full emotional impact it should.
To continue onto another damaged and awesome woman, Regina.
Now, post Stable Boy, I have heard several commentators being frustrated/disappointed that
( spoilers )
Basically, read the deliciously articulate meta here, here, and here. Written by people who (presumably) don't over-identify with Regina the way I do. Seriously, one reason I am so boggled by people who don't understand and adore Regina, is because she is such a perfect, dark mirror of how my brain works.
( more spoilers )
On the subject of damaged but fierce women, a lot of people have been talking about whether or not Daenerys will win or lose the game of thrones and it hit me - she's going to lose. Because she doesn't, it seems to me, have ANY support within Westros, I cannot fathom why she even wants the Iron Throne, and frankly, I am placing bets that Jon Snow is going to end up King at the end of the series. So. That is not a cheerful thought.
WHAT IS A CHEERFUL THOUGHT IS THE THOUGHT OF A HYPOTHETICAL ONCE UPON A TIME HALLOWEEN EPISODE. Who would the citizens of Storybrooke dress up as? (To specify, not their FTL conterparts, but who or what they would want to be for one night.)
I could stand to see Emma dressed up as a cowgirl.
