"Game of Thrones" - HBO Series Coming in 2011

Iain Glen has gotten really craggy this year. Like he needs to stay out of the sun more.

I still think of his role of Jack Taylor when I see him.......

No, it's smoking. Most actors smoke to keep slim, the problem is the skin becomes very "unfriendly" to hi-def.... robs the skin of collagen... mummy-like....

"I'm thin, but I'm a mummy!"

Yes, he was great as Jack Taylor of the Guarda.

"LOVE, mummy! hugs HUGS!" (ATHF)

Well, that was......painful looking.

Wouldn't that count as a tie?

Even if both of them are dead, it was pretty clear who died first.

First and... more thoroughly.

BUT (I just thought about this tonight)... Didnt Oberyn technically make the first killing blow? The input of any attorneys with "trial by combat" experience would be useful right about now. 

[RandyMistie]

No, even as the Mountain dies, the Prince of Dorn died first, (very badly) The gods have spoken... DAMNIT!  He can't kill Tyrion! Fuck you, George R. R. Martin, you fuck!

I gotta tell ya, there were many times when I threw the books across the room and refused to read them anymore! In fact, I haven't read this far in the books, because of my feeling of impending dread and anxiety that Ar Ar Martin creates.... fucker!

The Red Wedding??!!! That's where I stopped reading.

I am tellin' ya's if he kills Tyrion I am done with this series, I'm serious....

It is excellent writing, of course, I just get too invested.... is all...

Y'know, I gotta say, given that the Mountain's abdominal muscles were probably shredded to shit by that spear to the midsection, I can't say Oberyn was all THAT unreasonable for thinking he wouldn't be able to get up, much less crush him to death.  Generally, that's a pretty safe bet.

Still should have fucking finished him off.

She is a master level troll.

It was a Tolkienesque battle scene. Very powerful, but with staggering odds against The Night's Watch. As I read I had a hot ball in the pit of my stomach.

Tolkien is poetic and epic, a tale of heroes and hobbits, Ar Ar is awful and pornographic and evil.... Not that I have anything against porno or Evil, or even awfulness.  But, it is fun to read some Tolkien after Ar AR, to cleanse the palate...

Tomorrow is Father's Day.

Well played, D&D

I think Jon is a far more interesting character in the books because you have a much better idea of who he is, and what he represents in the series.  The show has totally ignored his background.  While it is nothing but a theory for book readers, it's a very very strong theory.

As for the past episode, It was quite good, but they should have trimmed a bit here and there so they could finish the Wall story in this episode.  There's way too much to cover in this last episode, even if it is 15 minute longer than other episodes. 

Or, rather than trim it, they should have made like the books and had the Wildling skirmish at Castle Black earlier in the season, and dedicated this episode entirely to the assault on the Wall itself.

You screwed up show.  You had one job and you screwed it up by cutting one of the most important scenes in the book so you could fill the time with more crap that didn't need to be there.

[Rainbow Dash]

I heard; no Lady Stoneheart?

Honestly, I have no issues with that.  I think even the book had the reveal too soon, and if they're holding the reveal to when Brienne meets her, then all the better.  That's when I think the book reveal should have been.

They cut the entire conversation between Jaime and Tyrion about Tysha, and Cersei's sleeping around.  Just a quick "so long".  Really diminishes the scene with Tywin and Tyrion without the revelation about his first wife hanging in the air.
