*I am aware a baby and it's mother were eaten by mad dogs but this is Game of Thrones. Roose Bolton was largely responsible for the red wedding, so screw his family.

Oh and two people getting their heads smashed by separate giants in the first ten minutes, win.

SPOILERS for last nite's ep.







Last chance SPOILER ALERT..








I'm glad they didn't drag out Jon Snow's resurrection any longer, would have been quite the waste to have him laying on a slab for half the season. I was pretty surprised to see it was Mellisandre who did the deed. I know that was the popular opinion for how it would happen, but I thought there was a good chance he would be revived when his body was burned, revealing a major hint as to his true heritage. But the way it was handled was still effective, with a fine performance by a disheartened Mellisandre..

Also loved the scene of Tyrion freeing the dragons. And Bran warging back to the past was very cool..

Devon Larratt is a Game of Thrones fan...and he was indeed initially intimidated by Mountain Man at first...

[Hector]

Former NFL player, and current ESPN's SportsNation host, Marcellus Wiley...was talking crap about Devon Larratt.

Wiley was saying Devon cheated against Mountain Man...what he doesn't understand, that's an allowed technique used in arm wrestling. However, just to put to rest all controversy...Devon decided to truly embarrass Mr Big Mouth...

Well, Marcellus Wiley sure was humbled...

[Hector]

That Mountain Man deadlift is mind boggling though, holy crap...

[Hector]

As long as it's not arm wrestling.

Arm wrestling legend Devon Larratt toys with the Mountain Man here...

[MegoSteve]

FYI, the guy who plays the Mountain is Hafthor Bjornsson, 6'9" tall, 400 pounds, and one of the strongest men in the world. Here he is deadlifting 991 pounds:

Don't get to like anybody.

Cool, okay, I'll try one a day...heck, maybe more on the weekends, especially late at night.

Thanks for influencing me...looks like an awesome show already...man...I have to learn all the characters names, as I never read the books either, I'm a total newbie.

Four characters I already hate, yes, in the very first episode...that hot chick's brother, Lena Headay and her lover (poor kid)...and that odd looking spoiled albino teen brat with the Prince Valiant haircut...I hope all four die eventually, lol...

:

Be warned, there are characters you hate after one episode that might become one of your favorites in episodes to come. You never know what direction they may go. It's a fascinating show about the struggle to obtain and retain power in a world where everyone wants you dead the moment they have no more use for you. People die at unexpected times. Sometimes you're happy about it. Other times? Not so much.

Regardless, welcome aboard the GOT train. It's a heck of a ride.

[Hector]

It's okay...I'll just rewatch her first season...

[Sideshow Spock]

Daenerys is also pretty much my favourite character.

I hate to disappoint Hector, but I think it was after Season 2 when Emilia Clarke (aka the hot chick ) announced
she was done doing nudity on the show..

[Bruce Banner]

Daenerys is also pretty much my favourite character.

[alex]

I think its actually better to watch them in a row, theres a heck of a lot of characters and names, and whos fighting against who etc. U kinda of forget in between seasons.

I'm aware of a couple of major death spoilers, damn...

Jason Momoa looks mean as heck...but to be fair, he always does.

Those dragon eggs were awesome!

Lord of the Rings...the for adults only kind...

[sprytel]

I just watched the very first ever episode last night via Comcast OnDemand...dammit, I got immediately hooked, lol.

I was trying to avoid that...so many shows, I can barely keep up...but too late...now I gotta watch them all, bloody hell.

I'm not going to binge watch though...I'd say one episode every other day...that sound about right, it won't exhaust me.

My favorite character in the very first episode?

Why you silly wabbit, come on now...

I knew you'd love it!

Just a thought... GOT season 6 finale is June 25th. That is 59 days. There are 58 episodes behind between the Season 1 premiere and the Season 6 finale. One a day gets you caught up just in time for the finale...
