Kings 1x02 - Prosperity

[butterfly]

Political intrigue! Yay! And David stampeding through it all, upsetting all the apple carts. Hee. Everyone else is trying to play the game and he's all *flail* *see my big flaily emotion*.

I feel so bad for Jack. He loses his seat at the big table (his uncle, I think, further orchestrating discord by making him feel like his mother as well as his father has abandoned him for the greener pastures of David), then the credit card decline. His men love him, though (which we saw implied last week when David was all, "Hell, no, Jack didn't have anything to do with the ambush."), so at least he has that.

They introduced a few Big Secrets this week (the photograph; Michelle's vow) that I'm sure will be followed up on later.

The birds were epic and over the top and awesome. They wouldn't leave because they had a purpose to save David.

*pastes tiny hearts all over show*

I love Jack, yes. I can understand him so well and I like that all the relationships on the show are complex and they influence each other.

He and David better become friends! It's canon! Seriously, that's one of the first things that anyone thinks of, I think, when you think of the David story -- that Jonathan was closer to him than anyone else (well, or the Bathsheba story, which might be out of the scope of this show, since it happens so much later in his life).

I loved the birds. They weren't subtle, but they weren't trying to be (and the guards are all kinds of awesome. I'm really looking forward to having them around).

And I'm so glad that you're watching and enjoying the show! I always adored your Harry Potter musings so much.
