NOT BEFORE I FINISH ANGELNFGRJND:DF

It's true, Guile's Theme does go with everything.

Finally continued watching this. When the pilot first aired I thought it was a little too grand for me to follow it on a weekly basis (even though I loved it) and now that I finished up with all my backlog shows I decided to marathon this little gem.

Currently at the end of the second episode. I'm finally learning every person's name.

Just noticed Buffy alumni Jane Espenson is on the writing team. Good, good.

I am still waiting for the day when Sean Bean doesn't die in the end.

Watched the first episode, that blonde kid has some talent, he managed to present himself as smug cunt in the few seconds of screentime he got. Hagrid was in the background, drinking merrily, like a boss. It looks really good, but one hour episodes are a bitch, they're harder to justify taking a break from uni shiz for.

Yes. Yesssssssssssssssss.

Joffrey only gets worse.

He's got to be the imbred son of the queen and her tall brother. They're all cocks.

Yeah, that reveal must've been the most obvious twist ever.

D: The poor wolf.

That was some good stuff, I predicted the ending when

Spoiler:
	she ordered them to place the dragon eggs with Drogo's body

Can't wait for the next season though, I might read the books if I get the chance, though seems unlikely.

The books are about 1000 pages paperback. They are dedications. I read this second one this summer so far and just started on the third one. If you like books and the subject matter they are great reads, but just be prepared for the epicness.

Jamie Lannister is a POV character now in the third book. Badass. Samwell Tarley is also a new one. fatass.

This is not final by any means but word on the ASoIaF board is that Henry Ian Cusick is being sought after to play Mance Rayder, King-beyond-the-wall, in the second season. I know the dude was in Lost and received an emmy nomination but does anyone know (Kaio) if he would fit the description of this character?

He is supposed to be an extremely charismatic and naturally likeable person and leader. He is about middle aged, 45ish but surprisingly spry and fit. Being able to sing is also something he would need.

I've never watched Lost or anything with him in it so I don't know if he's a good fit.

Cusick is the the most likable and charismatic actor in all of Lost, so he's got that down. He doesn't sing though.

This video will instantly make you fall in love with him even though you've never seen Lost or know the character.

He actually looks in that video just like how I picture Mance looking which is cool. I hope he gets it. I wasn't sure of his look from his wiki picture but he def has the look of the role too.

Even though it's old news I just read that Carice van Houten has been cast for the role of Melisandre (sp?). She is without a doubt the best Dutch actress currently in the business and she wins the Dutch equivalent of the Oscars almost every year. Maybe this will give her a foothold overseas (because let's be honest, playing Tom Cruise's wife isn't going to do that).

She looks the part but I've never seen any of her work. The staff has done a fabulous job casting so far so I trust them in their decision. She is going to be a character everyone hates (character personality wise), on par with Joffrey and Ramsay Bolton (he's gonna make Joffrey seem like a merciful saint)

So I finally started reading hte fourth book, A Feast for Crows, after a brief hiatus from the series. I was reading the first few chapters and loving the different aspects of the kingdom we are given (finally getting POV characters on the Iron Islands and in Dorne) but I can see why people say it's the weakest in the series. There is no Jon, no Tyrion, Bran (I can live with that), Davos and no Dany.

What the fuck? Jon I understand after the end of ASoS but Tyrion ended the thrid book with the biggest cliffhanger ever and Dany just became amazing after taking the second book off to be really boring. We still get the classics like Arya and Sansa and thank God Jamie is back since he was easily the best part of ASoS, but there are just so many new players. Cercei is a POV character this time which is weird. still a raging bitch though.

And Kaio I know you said you just got the thrid book so I assume you are reading the series. How far are you? I know Neo said he was almost done AGoT.
