Game of Thrones (spoilers)

[OumaFan]

Boromir was stabbed in the arm last night outside a London bar. True story. Apparently kept drinking.

[Kev]

He's 52 and dating a 22 year old.

King Ricky Hatton wont be listening to his mother all the time anymore.


Starks' 18,000 men defeated Lannister's 30,000 men. That Jamie Lannister is a bum.

Did they defeat all of Jamie's men, or just enough to get through and kidnap Jamie? I know they sent 2000 men to Tywin's men as a decoy... but you really just had to infer yourself (from the tv show anyway) that the other 18,000 were commited to attacking Jamie's army... And that is all you get from it....

yeah that is possible.

HBO should invest more and show the battles at the field.

We could have used a 2 hr finale, just flies by. I have but one need and thats to see that little twinkle toes girl King Jofrey (?) get taken out is brutal fashion.

This really should have been 2 hours

Great episode. We got dragons, and one last chance to see Danaerys naked, can't really ask for a better way to finish a series than that.

I'm pleased the dragons looked credible. I imagine that will be harder to maintain when they grow but overall for television this series was about as perfect as you could get.

I actually feel a little bit in love with Danaerys, it's a shame she's a fictional character...

Can't wait for Joffre's demise, although I wish Jon Snow would have left. Still with his half sister on her way to him he will be cheered soon. That is if he makes it back alive from north of the wall.

Such a great show. I'm going to weep now to lament its concluding, at least for this year.

True Blood will really have to up its game next week.

And yes by that I mean Jessica's nipples..

[Nameless]

I really didn't see the end coming, thought Drogo would make it alive but I did suspect that we could some dragon's back though. Very good series so far, very brutal, seems like Ned Stark's 2 younger boys have some premonition's gifts or something too.

[OumaFan]

I still haven't seen it, but I was worried the final scene would look a little silly.

Granted, I knew what was coming but I thought they spent a lot of time foreshadowing the dragons. The constant Dany starting at the dragon shells scenes, etc. It was like they were thinking we don't want people to think WTF, all of a sudden there are dragons running around.

SPRING 2012 ?!?

That's way too long. Now what? I'm not a huge True Blood fan and the direction of that show looks super cheesy, the preview I saw looked straight out of a scifi channel made for TV movie.

Maybe I'll get some work done around the house.

Read the books?

Or maybe follow the BBC's new blockbuster apdation of the Arthurian legends, "Camelot"?

That second part is a joke by the way, I've not watched it but as a Brit I can confidently say you will be disappointed. It will likey be Dowton Abbey with knights

My wife just started reading Game of Thrones, I have to read that first so that's out. She should be done with it soon and then I can get going. I still have to finish The Name of the Wind and then pick back up in Ben Franklin's autobiography.

[OumaFan]

Holy fuck, the 5th book is coming out July 12th. For some reason I thought it was farther down the line than that.

I don't think ten episodes a season is going to work for the 2nd or 3rd book. It won't work for the 3rd book, at all, and there has been some talk about two seasons for that one. I mean this was all kind of setting stuff up, like the Fellowship of the Ring, and plus Boromir died both times.

[Kev]

I saw an interview with Sean Bean this week where they asked who Jon Snow's dad is really. Apparantly the view from the fans is that he is probably actually the son of Rhaegar and Ned's sister and that Ned claimed him as his own to protect him.

It defo sounds like a probabiltiy to me, so that could be pretty cool.

[Kev]

Sean neither confirmed or denied by the way, although he didnt seem to challenge the idea that he might be...
