Game of Thrones: Season Six

[Hector]

Never seen the show...but have been intrigued on starting.

Kinda strange, because I devour most anything from HBO.

I did see one fight scene on YouTube...the Mountain man getting outclassed by this expert swordsman...but in the end...the Mountain dude makes mashed potatoes outta the dude's head...in turn...Mountain also dies...so it was a very bloody draw, lol.

Is the show like that throughout?

Were those two regular characters?

I hear more regulars die in Game of Thrones than regulars in the Walking Dead. Is that true?

The little actor, he's a damn good actor, I've seen him in a lot of movies. What role does he play?

And in a nutshell...what exactly is the show all about?

Love the show. Also working my way through the books.

it is a really great show Mike. it's now really about the sword and sorcery stuff, if that is not your thing. although there is plenty of it. it's really about political intrigue and the alliances and frequent betrayals. with lots of gratuitous nudity and sex thrown in for good measure

Never seen it, don't have any interest in middle-earth stories...

But the midget guy hosted SNL last week and I must say he is dang funny ... It was probably the best episode of SNL this season.

Yeah, with Penny Dreadful coming May 1st, my Sunday nights are about to get really, really bleak.

With the new season right around the corner (and no "official" thread hanging around), thought I'd start a new thread..

Liam Cunningham (Davos) was on Conan last nite, and he showed the first (non-trailer) clip from the upcoming season. The clip starts at 1:49..
