I hate award shows but I had to share this cool pic of Emilia Clarke who plays Princess Daenerys, at the Emmy Awards show last night. This is what Daenerys looks like in real life when she’s not filming, “Game of Thrones”. She’s still gorgeous in real life, and she is someone I would date. Enjoy the photo, here.

The season 3 casting of “Game of Thrones”, is looking great so far, but still they are missing a few very important characters. Where is Mance Rayder, and Ramsay Bolton? Hopefully, they’re not gonna leave those characters out.
Check out this great video that was shown at SDCC during the “Game of Thrones” panel.

Oh my, how come I didn’t notice that? I’m sure nobody did. I didn’t even listen to the DVD commentary when he said it, and now it makes me want to. HBO, then, admitted they were wrong, and out of line, so they apologized.
See the article, here.
No need to apologize for this. I think it’s pretty funny and everyone else would too! That’s karma for being a bad president!

Well, “Game of Thrones – Season 2” is over with already. I guess HBO is only doing 10 episodes for each season. This season was pretty good. Not the best ever, just pretty good. I just wish the script was better and wish they stayed more true to the books. They left out a lot of important characters. They changed the stories around a little bit, and altering characters like I said before. I can understand why HBO feels the need to do it, since the series is only 10 episodes, and the books are so long that they can’t fit everything in.
The best two episodes this season were the final two, “Blackwater” and “Valar Morghulis”. I guess HBO wanted to save the best for the last. In the season finale last night, “Valar Morgulis”, everything was perfect and beautifully written. It was an amazing episode. It was very dramatic and intense with all the characters. Tyrion Lannister really showed his emotion as the character was upset, and Peter Dinklage did a phenomenal acting job. I think Peter is the best actor out of the cast.
The Daenerys storyline with the Dragons was pretty shocking. I love the Daenerys character, she’s an interesting character. During her segments, a certain someone made a surprise cameo apperaance, I won’t give any spoilers, but it is a character from Season 1.
The Arya and Jaqen story ended in a sad way too.
My only complaint is that I wish they did more with the Brienne Maid of Tarth, character. She didn’t get a lot of screen time. Brienne is supposed to be a brutal and mean character, and she got into way more gruesome sword fights in the books than the TV show. In the books, she’s a tough woman that you won’t even want to piss off, but the TV show made her look weaker.
Game of Thrones – Season 2 was okay this year. Hopefully next year will be better.
Edit to add: While “Game of Thrones” is no longer on, “Breaking Bad” Season 5 will be aired on AMC next month, so that’ll be good TV to keep us busy while “Thrones” and “Walking Dead” are on break.

I missed “Game of Thrones” last Sunday, ’cause I was becoming less interested in this Season. This Season of “Game of Thrones”, hasn’t been that good. Why? Because this Season has been changing so much of the stories from the books. Altering the characters, and leaving important characters out from the books, lots of other things. They’re following the Tyrion vs. Joffery feud pretty well, but everything else they’re changing around. They even changed the Arya story a lot too.
Somebody told me that last Sunday’s episode of “Game of Thrones”, the “Blackwater” episode was one of the best episodes of this Season. After watching the re-run of that episode on DVR, I agree! The “Blackwater” battle was the best episode of this season.
Why is “Game of Thrones – Season 2” kind of boring this year? Well the pacing of the show is kinda slow this season. There’s not much violence and gory stuff. “Game of Thrones – Season 1” was very violent and gory. Season 2 didn’t have much of that, up until the “Blackwater” episode. The “Blackwater” battle was pretty epic, felt like a movie on the big screen.
Tyrion is going to be much uglier now, after what happened to him during the battle (Minor spoiler: Getting half of his face, chopped off). Don’t get me wrong, I still love the “Game of Thrones” franchise, it’s just that the books are way better, of course. I wish they would do more with the Brienne Maid of Tarth character, ’cause that’s a good character that doesn’t get too much screen time.
In other news, I also DVR’d “Hatfields & McCoys”, the western mini series on the History channel with Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton, I DVR’D both parts, and I’ll start watching them today. I’ll review “Hatfields & McCoys” later this week. Looking forward to checking it out. I missed the first part ’cause I forgot it was on, so I DVR’d the re-runs on the History Channel.

Since Universal Studios dropped, “The Dark Tower” by Ron Howard and Stephen King, Warner Bros. is close to a deal with HBO. HBO may release the three “Dark Tower” films to theaters and they will also air the TV series on their station as well.
I’ve always thought HBO would be a great home for them. This would be good competition against, “Game of Thrones” and “Boardwalk Empire”.
I’m looking forward to the Dark Tower series coming to the big screen and the small screen. I’m a huge fan of the books. Lets hope Ron does justice with them.
Deadline, reports.

With the return of “Game of Thrones – Season 2” coming in April 1st, I have decided to start re-watching “Season 1” on DVD tonight. Watched the first two episodes. “Game of Thrones” DVD, HBO did a really good job with them. The picture and sound is really nice.
Plus, I have also decided to start re-reading, “A Clash of Kings”. The second book of the series. I want to be reminded of the plot for “Season 2”, so I’m re-reading the second book. Once I started the second book, I still couldn’t put it down. The book is still addicting just like the first time I read it.
I just love the series too much. The books and the show. It’s a celebration, that’s what it’s all about.
I have three favorite characters for the “Game of Thrones” series: Tyrion, Arya, and Daenerys. Of course, I loved Khal Drogo and Eddard Stark, but they were only around for the first season, not trying to give spoilers.
Wait until you see “Game of Thrones – Season 2” which will be adapted from, “A Clash of Kings”. The Arya storyline for the next one will be interesting. The next book focuses on Arya more.
Kev
Man, I can’t wait for this show to comeback! Season 2 premiere date is officially April 1st. Season 1 comes out on DVD this coming Tuesday. I’m definitely buying the DVD, so I can re-watch Season 1 before Season 2. I love the books, and love the show. “Game of Thrones” is one of the best shows on TV other than “Walking Dead”, “Dexter”, and “Breaking Bad”.

Manny Pac rejected Floyd’s challenge again, but my question is, why won’t Manny fight Floyd? Why is boxing keeping these two away from each other? Manny shouldn’t be afraid to fight Floyd and I’m sure Floyd is calling Manny a coward right now.
Miguel Cotto looks like a pretty tough dude. Looking at his record, he only has two losses. Hopefully, Miguel has what it takes to end Floyd’s undefeated streak. I doubt Miguel will beat Floyd ’cause it will probably be another victory for Floyd again. Floyd will figure out a way to beat him.
I won’t be watching this fight ’cause I don’t watch boxing anymore as much as I used to. If Miguel can actually beat Floyd, that would be amazing but I don’t think it’ll happen.
Even though I don’t watch boxing anymore, I still like the sport and still respect it.

Maisie Williams, the actress who plays Arya Stark, in HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” shows off her new look for Season 2. She looks more like a boy now ’cause that’s how she was in the books. I love the new look and can’t wait for “Season 2”, to come back. Other than “Walking Dead” and “Dexter”, “Game of Thrones” is another favorite show of mine.
Check out the video, here.
