Any Game of Thrones Fans?
I'd call myself a BIG fan, just short of fanatical - and I anxiously await the new season's first episode tonight.
I do wonder if this season will keep up with the high quality of prior seasons in spite of the fact that Mr. Martin could not write quickly enough to have more material to base it on. My phone will officially be off the hook at 9:00 PM ET! . .

I dont know grrm is too rich, too old, and enjoying life too much to lock himself in a room and attempt to solve the massive puzzle he has created...im not sure he has it in him anymore.
He may just let the show bring an ending to the series and satisfy the fans and leave it at that...at this point hes probably not as invested as the readers out there.

I think I was expecting too much and came away a little disappointed with this first 'solo' episode. I'll try to reserve judgment as the stories play out.
. . Question of the Week: Will the Red Woman resurrect John Snow? - or did Kit Harrington already leave the show?

Brienne and Podrick showing up at exactly the right moment was a little too convenient. The Red Woman reveal almost made me regurgitate. Though most everyone seems to hate Dorne, the Mutiny of the Dornish Hens might breathe new life into that subplot. Arya's Karate Kid/Bloodsport-esque training should be interesting. All in all, I'd give the ep a B-.

The Red-Headed Bearded Wilding guy is doing Windham Hotel Rewards commercials. Is he selling out?

Just watched episode 2. I won't give out any specifics, but that's the Game of Thrones I know and love.
A episode!!!!

Episode 2 was great. I could not be more bored to death by Arya and the Sand Snakes. What a snooze. But thumbs up to Hodor coming back and always good to see my man Davos being a bad ass.

First 2 episodes were too predictable. Disappointing what happened at the end of episode 2 although I knew it would happen.
Not crazy about that character and all my other's have died except 2.

Just finished the episode. Wow.
First of all, the Stark dire wolves are becoming in short supply. Summer is now gone. Rickon's dire wolf, Shaggydog, was shown dead a few episodes ago. We know Lady, Sansa's wolf, was killed by Ned on order of the King. And we all know what happened to Greywind, Robb's wolf. That leaves Ghost and (I think) Nymeria, though God only knows where she is. A girl has no name, but does she still have a pet? Somehow, I think she will make an appearance at a critical moment in Arya's life. The link between direwolf and master is not easily broken. The Hodor scene was haunting. Hated seeing him, Leaf and Summer all die in rapid succession. Now my question is, how the hell does Bran get away? And I'm seeing an eerie parallel between the White Walkers and the Children of the Forrest, and the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica. Why do the Walkers hate the Children of the Forest? Why did the Cylons hate their creators? I am liking Sansa more and more. She's really grown up. Sophie's grown into a beautiful young woman, too, hasn't she? I feel much better having Brienne with her. I also loved watching Tormund checking out Brienne, and Brienne turning away with disgust. Somebody needs to make a gif out of that. Really good episode, overall. The high points, for me, were Daenerys and Jorah, and also seeing Theon stand up for Yara. I think the Ironborn have made a really big mistake. Yara is meant to be their queen.
