Gemma is so gorgeous  :heart:
She's the perfect Asha, if the show makers would let her bring some of that fun and lively side into her role, instead of making her look so grim all the time.

ACOS is so exciting, I'm reading around three chapters each evening and so much WTF stuff is happening. I love it!

She's lovely! I like those interviews too, I hope they get Jack Gleeson (Joffrey) on at one point, just to see if he's as big a cunt as he is on the show :lol: Speaking of cunt, how many times was it used in the last episode? It's like they were going for a record!

Watching [noembed][/noembed] on IFC. Seeing a few actors from Game of Thrones in that movie:

Ian Glen - Jorah Mormont
Owen Teale - Alliser Thorne
James Cosmos - Jeor Mormont
Nonso Anozie - Xaro Xhoan Daxos
Robert Pugh - Craster

I've been thinking, maybe they won't let Jack do an interview, since everybody could see then, that he's a real nice guy in rl (lke all his co-actors are saying) and that would SOOOO ruin King Joffrey's credibility XD

I did see him being interviewed for something a few months before on Irish TV and yeh he seemed like a sound guy. Was playing with hand puppets if I recall. Not something Joffrey would do I think :lol:

After watching this audition from Rory McCann for Sandor Clegane, I do wish they had kept this scene. It was one of my favourites from the books, and Sandor is one of the more interesting characters in the show.

Bronn saying to Tyrion before the fighting: :nervous
I saw you kill a man with a shield. You'll be unstoppable with an axe~

Straight from the first scene on the ship to the last scene on the throne, this episode was too much awesome. :heart:

Finally watched Blackwater. Simpy stunning. The wildfire went even beyond my expectations from reading the book.

If you're wondering where the Hound left, then here's a sneak peek from next weeks episode. He always did want to go to a place with no fire.

Finished ASOS and holy shit what a ride that was and just when I thought there couldn't come more there was that reveal in the epilogue.

Only a few hours til I can watch the season final, but somehow I don't want to see it, as if that could prevent the inevitable... the end of season 2 and the long wait for season 3.

OH man, done with the finale. Haha I was about to read comments at ONTD, but the first comment I read was a complaint so I decided not to even go there now.

Because I really did enjoy it, I thought all the main characters got their moment, I thought the ending left a suitable feeling of "what's next???"

There were definitely changes from the books. But I enjoyed it, so I don't care. I even loved that moment with Tyrion and Shae, and I hate book!Shae. It's just, it's so well done.

Loved the house of the undying even if it was probably completely different from the books. Loved that they kept the 'hints' from the books, but in a different way. I won't explain this because it's spoilerish?? o_o But good to see Dany back on her feet again.

All in all, GOOD TIMES! I want to rewatch all the Tyrion and Sansa bits, since they are my favs 8)

Oh and :( to Winterfell...

Was pleasantly surprised by how good the House of the Undying stuff was here. Didn't really care for it in the book but the cinematography here was really well done, some wonderful shots of Dany in the snow. Good episode all round, really liked the Brienne & Jaime scene. I guess my initial thoughts were right, part of Tyrion's nose isn't missing, but he will have a nasty looking scar that he'll probably continue to have for the rest of the show.

But now to wait for another year :(

I wonder how many of the viewers who haven't read the books were glad that Tyrion is still alive? Or how about the brief return of Khal Drogo (with lil' Rhaego)?

I comfess I teared up a bit when Dany meets her 'sun and stars' and their unborn child.  :(

Well I have a somewhat spoilerific question concerning the "R + L = J" fan theory, so if you don't know about and don't want to know about it, I suggest you stop reading here :D



...Anyway, for those who haven't heard of it and want to hear of it, a popular theory is that Jon Snow's real parents are Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. There are small hints about it throughout the books, and one of them is a scene in the House of the Undying (which wasn't on the show). As a result of his parentage, it's also a popular fan theory that Jon Snow and Dany will end up together (since Targaryens used to marry bro+sis etc)

SO, after witnessing the House of the Undying in the season finale... Does anyone find all the symbolism a little heavy on the side of supporting these theories? LOL She walks into the throne room whose ceiling appears to have been burned by dragons, with snow falling in. A song of ice and fire. And then to make it more obvious, she walks out of The Wall, where Jon Snow has gone earlier. Mang. Either the show is playing us by supporting hinted stuff from the books that so far is only theories, or they actually know more from GRRM - that this is actually the end game... And are already setting the foundations for it. o-o So wut wut in da butt butt

^ I've been thinking about that theory since the first book. Wouldn't it suck if GRRM is trolling us about Jon's real parentage?

(It's obvious that Hodor is the love child of Rhaegar and Lyanna.  :lol:)
