1. Me too.
2. He's still an attempted murderer of an 8 year old boy. Don't ever forget that.
3. I assume you've watched all 6 episodes this year, and by using the term "hopefully" I assume they haven't hooked up. Thanks for the info.
8. If not him, then maybe Jaime and the Frankenstein guy.
16. I could swear that there were white walkers in the opening scene of the first episode. So basically its taken them more than six years to get to wherever they're going. Let's put this in perspective. They are presumably on a march to the wall (or at least somewhere on Earth). If they were to walk for 4 hours a day at 3 miles per hour, that would equate to 12 miles per day. 12 x 365 days = 4,380 miles per year, roughly the distance from Washington DC to Mexico City and then most of the way back (walking, not flying. It's 2470 miles over land and if you're dumb enough its possible). And that's a fairly leisurely pace for an army. They'd basically have the remaining 12 hours of the day to grab ass around, and 8 hours a day to sleep. Now, multiply that by 6 years and you get 26,280 miles. The earth's circumference is 24,874 miles. So basically this white walker army should, starting from Washington DC, have walked around the whole damn earth one time by now, and then walked to Mexico City just for the hell of it.
Ok, update. Now finished viewing the first six seasons, and the first 2 episodes of season 7. Here are my thoughts.
1. Still love the Imp.
2. Liking Jaime Lannister more these days, seems like he's making personal changes for the better.
3. It's pretty obvious the Brianne and the red haired viking guy are going to hook up at some point.
4. Hodor makes complete sense now (obviously).
5. Didn't like how they killed the younger queen married to the second boy king (Rommen?). Thought her character should have made it out alive or something.
6. I thought wildfire couldn't be extinguished, yet it appears that Kings Landing is no longer on fire.
7. I was satisfied to see Cercie kills the high sparrow and his weirdo follows, then get hold of that really cruel nun and hand her over the Frankenstein guy for a few days.
8. I think Jaime L. and the Imp's friend/warrior guy might be gay together, not that there's anything wrong with that but HBO should have the guts to come out with it.
9. Glad to see Ramsey get eaten alive, I thought his character was somewhat unnecessary.
10. Seems like Melisandre was able to revive Jon Snow a little bit too easily. Didn't she have to sacrifice people to the get her Gods moving on these types of things?
11. Jon Snow's "honor before self" attitude is getting annoying. So is his pony tail.
12. Don't really understand the whole plot line with Bran, but I'm sure it'll resolve itself.
13. Why was the dragon palace left vacant after Stannis left? Seems like pretty nice property, someone could have used it or maybe it could have been leased to large group for company picnics or family reunion type events before someone decided to move in full time.
14. Daenaryis needs to make better decisions and quit threatening people that help her.
15. Why did they let Sam's girlfiend and her son into the College? Who is paying their room and board?
16. Its been 7 years and the White Walkers still haven't reach the wall. How far away is it?
I thought it was in Peru (South America) judging by the scenery.
I sort of reminds me a bit of the Godfather movie(s). They were "only" three hours each, yet there were so many damn characters that it was hard to keep track of things. Had to watch those each about 5 times before I really understood everything.
One thing I didn't understand re: Carthage. Why was the vault belonging to the big Shaq character empty? I thought when they opened it someone said that it was empty. Wasn't he supposed to be really rich? I guess he still had some stuff because the dragon queen stole all of his stuff, but seems odd to have an empty vault. Guess it'll have some bones in it in about 6 months.
Done with seasons 1 ando 2. So far, very good stuff and look forward to watching 2 or even 3 episodes.a night. Here's what's good: the Imp is definitely the star
Every scene is interesting if he's in it. Grandpa lannister is a great villan. So is Joffrey, hes such a a brat because that's his character, plays it to perfection. Like the knight guy that helps dragon lady. Also like the feral chick that helps out the two stark kids. Although don't really know why she stuck around after being caught.
Heres the bad: too much sprawl. Can't even begin to remember the names of half the characters. The female warrior also seems to be any unnecessary character. Jon Snow doesn't know what to do with his life, but it's not my damn problem so stop taking up so much time in each episode. Red witch and lannis story line should have been cut out. Reduce the number of kingdoms from 7 to about 4 to make it easier to keep track of things. Also, what's going on with albino queen's eyebrows? She used to be pretty cute but she gets uglier each episode. It's like the opposite of the feral chick that getter hotter every episode.
Fan of the Lord of the Rings you say? Shocking... I hope that doesn't mean that Frodo is going to show up during season 2 having ______style intercourse with one of the princesses.
I saw that episode last week again. Wonder what he intended to do with the candy bar?
So is Sigourney Weaver. Gives me chills.
Oh, and after episode 6, it's pretty clear that albino queen has some sort of strange connection to the dinosaur eggs. I think that she might be able to hatch one. And if she has that type of power, I don't think that Darth Drekkie is going to be able to continue having his way with her.
Plus, why is Dark Drekkie and his army so scared of the water? Sounds pretty dumb to me. I understand the sea is quite narrow, so just get some friggin canoes or banana boat and paddle your sorry asses to the other side.
Also, does anyone else realize that the map for game of thrones strangely resembles some of the maps from around 1400 A.D. when Europeans were first beginning to explore the world. They don't have Africa or North/South America on there yet. And they think Greenland is a connected land mass. Maybe Ned is really Christopher Columbus.
My guess is that your father hated the incest because he was watching this with his daughter. Just throwing that out there as a possibility.
No, I love trolls. Pretty well accomplished quasi troll myself. Drove the nerds crazy on the Washington redskins message board in the off topic star wars thread. Told them Han really wasn't dead because luke survived an equally long fall after being injured. Then said that a leaked script for Episode 8 had Chewy donating a kidney to Han to keep him alive. Also pretended that I didn't know the difference between stars wars and Mork and Mindy for about a month.
Just finished episode 6. Didn't even put 2+2 together on the incest thing until I realized that the dwarf was the queen's brother and also Jamy's brother. Thought lannister was the Kings name, and Blondie was some sort of lancelot type dude that wasn't connected. Also c as nt believe the albino queen ate the horse heart. But glad that she coated her brothers head in liquid gold.
I'd prefer Kate Upton.
No problem, someone had told me that they kill off main characters just for fun, so no one is safe.
Good... Going to watch 2 episodes tonight after work
Thanks. Guess I'll see it coming.
Never read the book. Thought the series was interesting though. One real plot hole (serious this time) was when the survivors viewed the people in the diner that seemed to have died almost instantly, due to their positions. Sort of like when the volcano blew and the people of Pompeii were frozen in place. But at the beginning of the series, its clear that the disease takes, at the very least, several minutes to incubate and then progress to death. So you'd think, based upon variance, that those people in the diner would have had at least a couple minutes to stand up, run outside, and then die a violent death in the street or something. Unlikely they would have just sat there.
Dude, I'm just trying to make you laugh. I'm sure that the good guy characters in the movie would have respected/feared him more if he didn't dress like an idiot and sport a goofy hairdo.
The hole in the plot was created by the bad costume and mullet. Was never explained, i.e. it wasn't clear when Flagg had time to go to Marshall's or T.J. Max to buy the Canadian tuxedo. Nor was there ever any explanation, or reasonable
justification for the use of the outfit. However, I do believe its safe for the viewer to assume that he wore the same one in each scene, so I don't think its a plot hole because he did not need to have multiple jean jackets and tight fitting Lee jeans combos. Plus, he was a ghost so not sure where he'd put all the extras.
Maybe the mullet was more of an anachronism, because a mulleted hairstyle was only popular from June of 1988 through February of 1989, and this series was made in like 1994.
Glad someone agrees with me finally. I felt like he was about to jump on his scooter with his hockey stick strapped across his back and start jamming to Rock You Like a Hurricane.
