Sorry to bump a year old thread, but is anyone still watching this, and if so can you point me to the S3 discussions? My google-fu failed me…

I still watch it but as far as i know there aren’t any season 3 threads.

I’ve been watching. I don’t remember seeing any S3 discussion here, though.

We’ve recorded it, but not watched. I’ll hang out and see if there are discussions for next year.

I can’t decide whose sarcasm I love best : Doc Yewl or Datak!

Datak may win for his actions at the end of S3Ep8 alone - he’s a horrible person, but that was badass and I cheered him on the whole way 🙂

I’m really enjoying this season, and Datak really was badass, words I never thought I would say. I also finally like Arisa - mostly because her storyline didn’t go the way I thought it would.

</div>

Yeah, I think this has been the best season yet. Datak is always a bit over-the-top for my tastes, but I confess I liked his big scene in this last episode. I love Stahma, though, and I think Jaime Murray does an incredible job acting her.

That was indeed incredibly bad ass. I freaking loved the reactions of the votanis collective guys as they watched him do it.

I do enjoy the character and the actress (H.G. Wells from _Warehouse 13_ too), but my wife and I keep calling her Cersei. There are a lot of similarities in the way the two actresses play the roles, plus the accents and body types.

I liked them high-fiving with the severed limb.

Stahma is way way smarter though.

I had to go to IMDB to make sure they weren’t the same actress. I was cheering for Datak & the song & his smile.

Run Datak Run.

Glad I wasn’t the only one. My wife instantly recognized her from _Warehouse 13_, but acknowledges the resemblance…

Come on Datak, I can’t believe you didn’t crash your own funeral!

Oh come on, it’s not like they’re both shagging one-armed men or anything…

Yes yes, we call her Cersei Lannister too, I’m just annoyed I didn’t say it here first. 😉

But now I’m catching up with TV-Cersei after only knowing book-Cersei, Stahma is WAY smarter.

I’m (again!) behind, but I’m on my way to catching up. We’re 3 or 4 episodes into S3, and I’m enjoying it, even more than I enjoyed S2.

While I didn’t love how Irisa’s storyline turned out (a little too mystic-y for my taste), I absolutely loved how Stahma’s and Datak’s stories progressed through S2. I’m hopeful that Irisa will have a better year, and I’m still loving the Tarrs in this season.

More later when I’ve caught up - I tried not to read too many details of the most recent posts, but I gather there’s an awesome scene coming up for Datak!
