Game of Thrones (HBO)

[Wake]

Alright, I've become enchanted with the Game of Thrones series. It's just as fun as Supernatural, and enjoyable. Few TV series I thoroughly enjoy like this.

That speech scene by Theon Greyjoy in the end of Season 2 was hilarious. The graphics of that White Walker in the Battle of the Fist of the First Men did not disappoint. I never thought I'd like a eunuch's character so much, either. Joffrey's a psychotic little s***, isn't he? I've found most of the Stark children to be endearing characters, especially the eldest son and the two daughters. They're well-rounded, complicated characters. Tyrion is the highlight, as well as Tywin and Jon Snow. Daenarys is yet another loveable character, and Stannis Baratheon has his own captivating qualities, like sheer bravery and ruthlessness. And Pycelle, that little dastard, is clever in his own way.

I'm happy I stumbled over this once hidden gem.

It's so good. I love it from the opening theme right to the end.

What is Your Game of Thrones Occupation?

Mine:

Spider

You're a Spider, or master of whispers. People tell you their secrets, and you listen intently. You're good at keeping confidences, but there are times when you can be tempted to use your information for nefarious purposes. Be careful not to become entangled in your own web. Information is powerful, and it can be a double-edged sword.

You're a Wildling! You value your freedom and independence over the comforts and security of noble society. Life can be hard for a wildling, but you're not afraid to work. It's better to live free and work hard than to be a slave to stuffy rules and regulations.

 

[Wake]

You are a Maester. You value knowledge, and have a great love of books. You are the source of wisdom for the people around you. When somebody is hurt or in need of answers, you are the one they turn to. You are a life saver and walking encyclopedia.

Queen Elizabeth II visits "Game of Thrones" set - CBS News

For Queen Elizabeth II, one throne is enough.

The United Kingdom's 88-year-old monarch toured the Belfast sets of the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones" and met many of its stars Tuesday beside the show's sword-covered seat of power, the Iron Throne.

Unlike many visitors to Belfast's Titanic Studios, the monarch declined to take a seat on the throne created for the ruler of the mythical Seven Kingdoms. But she did take a look at many of the set props during her visit.

"Game of Thrones" creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss escorted the monarch through the show's custom-made armory, hangars of costumes, and sprawling sets used to shoot the program's interior scenes and perilous ice-cliff ascents -- part of the biggest TV production ever mounted in Europe.

She chatted with actors Lena Headey, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, Kit Harington, Rose Leslie and Conleth Hill. The cast members were photographed smiling as they met the queen.

That's sad.

Thankfully, however, it happened fairly early in shooting. They should be able to replace him without too much trouble.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Sad news. I hope he had a full & happy life.

I bought Starz one year just for Boss with Kelsey Grammar. It was so good but it's the only thing I watched on the channel so I dropped it. He's amazing as the Mayor of Chicago.

i have Starz for "Black Sails"....which wasnt to bad....and "Da Vinci's Demons" which i think is pretty good even though they have taken some creative leaps....

They had one about the mob in Miami and a hotel owner that I liked but I guess nobody else did. It got dropped. That was on Starz.

that was Magic City.....it needed more action.....i was surprised it lasted 2 seasons.....but i liked it just the same....

I guess I like that era, the music was so good, I like Jeffery Dean Morgan too. He used to be in Grey's.
