As semester draws to a close, Spocksoc will be finishing on a high note: Game of Thrones Season 4. For those who have never seen it before, there is too much to explain properly. A few things you should know:

Starks hate Lannisters
Lantisters hate Starks
Daenerys loves dragons
Everyone hates Joffrey

Seems simple enough?

Hello and welcome back. I hope you have enjoyed you mid-semester break and, unlike me, have had a productive week. To kick off the second half of semester we have season 4 of Lost Girl.

Bo is a succubus who grew up in an adoptive human family, unaware of her non-human nature and of the Fae world. Her succubus powers only become apparent to her when she accidentally killed her first love by draining him of his life energy, an act which forced her to flee her home. In the pilot episode, Bo saves a human girl named Kenzi; the two quickly become friends and Kenzi decides they should team up to create a Fae/Human detective agency. Confronted by the Fae elders with having to choose a side (“Light” or “Dark”), Bo declares herself neutral, deciding to side with humans. As always, we will be meeting in Macaulay Theatre on Friday at 5pm and doing a pizza run at 7pm.

In other news, we have confirmed the time for the Transcendence outing. We will be meeting at the Ritz cinema at 6:30pm for the 6:50 screening.
