Are you psyched about Game of Thrones return on July 16th ?

I am. Been a very long dry spell!

1. So much to try and remember

It gets complicated.

[still_one]

2. Nope. I stopped following the HBO rendition of it a couple of years ago, and am convinced that

Martin is never going to finish the last two books in the series

Also, I was getting a little tired of him killing off the main characters

Each to our own, but I have better ways to spend my time

[chillfactor]

3. no I cannot afford to pay for HBO...

and from what I have seen of the series on the Internet. the series doesn't interest me.

[eShirl]

4. uh huh!

more Arya!

more Brienne of Tarth!

more Bronn!

more The Hound!

I began watching it for the first time in March, and I've watched the series through 3 times since then*.

*EXCEPT for the 'Ramsay torturing people' scenes. I've seen those once, which is more than enough, and now I fast-forward through those.

5. Yes and no. I watch with one of my four friends, so the company is welcome. But the show

itself wears me out with its violence and vulgarity. It's clever enough, though.

I'd rather more seasons of "Foyle's War." They had a good thing going, but shortened the timeline prematurely.

6. My wife is. I've been told that I can watch but no questions

I haven't ever watched it and I'm told I'll never be able to catch on. I'll just watch it as a curious viewer.

[eShirl]

9. maybe Samuel L. Jackson can help get you up to speed

[underpants]

10. Awesome

Thanks

[redwitch]

13. That was great!

Thanks!

[TexasProgresive]

7. I'm with still_one. G.R.R.Martin make me, GRRRRR!

I read all of the Game of Throne books and couldn't wait for the last 2. Well it's a race as to who will die first of old age, Martin or me. Certainly one of us will go before he resolves the series. The TV show lost me when Martin lost the plot of his own books.

[MuseRider]

8. Cannot wait!

Read the books then listened to them. Did not want to watch so skipped the first year and a few of the second then gave up after hearing so much about it.

I will miss the 16th until I can get back into town, my son and his wife planned their "We got married and built a house" party for that evening. It will be a wonderful evening so.....but why the 16th?

LOL, thank goodness for the DVR and repeats.

11. I am excited!

I enjoy this show.

Can't wait to see how Jon reacts when he learns who his parents truly are. I suspect that he will learn soon, as I think Bran will be back in Winterfell early this season. At least I hope. I want Arya to get there and all of the living Starks to meet up.

[Amishman]

12. My suspicion is Arya continues her one woman vengeance for a while.

Given the omission of Lady Stoneheart, there is a lot of room for an angel of death in the HBO version.

[dr.strangelove]

14. Yes, but not a lot of time

While I suspect her list gets shortened by the coming war, there are a few I hope she gets to kill. I am hoping she cuts off Payne's head. It would be fitting. Meilandre deserves something terrible, but I suspect she gets a reprieve, at least in the short term.

[yardwork]

15. Yes.

[NobodyHere]

16. I'll read the episode synopsis

But that's about it

[cemaphonic]

17. Looking forward to it, but excitement is a little blunted by Twin Peaks

[ms liberty]

18. Totally. I keep reminding mr liberty and others:

Winter is Here...in three (or five, or seven - I've been counting down all week) more days! On my calendar at work I have it written on the block for Sunday the 16th, *Winter is Here*

19. Our building is having an outdoor screening on our new projector. So yes!!

We purchased it last year for Cubs World Series.
