Game of Thrones

Season finale was alright.. pretty boring compared to the previous episode of course. Going to be a long break before next season!

w3rd. Entertaining enough but considering it followed the crimson wedding episode you can't help but feel it a bit dull. Should give us 3 more episodes & end on a good cliff hanger. Oh well, at least Newsroom is about to come back on.

Hell yeah on Newsroom!

The ending was so meh. I mean, there were good parts. Arya going apeshit on that Frey soldier was badass.

We finally resolved our issues with Comcast. They did get us to commit to a 2 year contract but they gave us the farm, which includes free HBO for the entire 2 year duration. We got some good promo rate which even includes the extra DVR for my mother in law, and they made a large balance (we stopped paying it out of frustration) go away to zero. I forget what else, but let's just say the "loyalty department" made the missus happy.

I'm just happy to have HBO for season 4 and 5 of GoT. At the start of the season, HBO would've brought our bill up to about $300 a month, and now we're paying $99 for two years with HBO for free /happy dance. Now we just wait for season 4

Another good piece (thanks DD!) about I09 and what might be covered in season 4....

Spoilers for those who haven't gotten to books 4/5.

You know the Stannis in the books is turning out to be FAR, FAR better than the show. He's becoming one of my favorites. I'm totally rooting for that guy.

[Alluveal]

Stannis is awesome. And I like him more and more as the series progresses. I do like the actor, but he has more scenes with the Red Witch in the series and seems more, I dunno, obsessed with her in the HBO version than he does in the books.

[Harlowe]

In the TV series he's totally on board for the lord of light (in the book he's kind of snarky about it) and seems to be the witch's water boy.

[Alluveal]

Yeah, just wait until ADWD. I was looking forward to a few particular POVs just to see what Stannis was doing. Some of the stuff surrounding him made me LOL in such an awesome way. I won't say any more than that.

[Freecare Spiritwise]

Wife finally finished ADWD. Not being able to spoil the ending after 2 years was affecting our relationship. But the flip side is that I have to finish Catching Fire before the movie comes out.

It's still weird having to force myself to read. The brain injury was almost 4 years ago and I still have this one weird side effect.

[Alluveal]

I'm already going through withdrawals. Even True Blood and Jason's awesome one-liners (naked superman!) cannot ease my pain.

Shame on you! Mentioning that horrible show in a thread about this wonderful show! Shame!
