Game of Thrones TV show *** full of Spoilers if you are not caught up to current***

Oh was he ever!!!

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

I just saw a commercial for this mini series which starts Mon.

link here

It seems the actor who plays Tywin Lannister is in it. I have my PVR set to record it.

I really don't know what Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is all about. But hopefully Tywin does not get blown away by his son while on the shitter in this too!

[Brendan]

Leslie that is the best part!!! I laugh every time I see that part in GOT. Tyron has awesome one liners!!! I am currently rewatching season 5. Have to love this show!!!!

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

Yeah that was a funny scene. What a way to go!

[Brianna]

Hubby and I have been rewatching the show getting ready for season 6. We are currently almost done with season 3 (currently watching the Red Wedding episode actually).

Has anyone tried the Game of Thrones beer from Ommegang?

I had never even heard of it. I had to google what Ommegang was. I don't think we have that beer in Canada. Plus I don't really like beer to start with. But I would definitely try it just to say I have.

Does it get distributed to beer stores or do you have to buy it in New York? I go to the U.S. a few times a year since I am not all that far.

[Brianna]

I'm in New Mexico so I know it gets to a lot of different places. I sell it at my work (World Market).
They do a new beer for each new season of Game of Thrones and the newest one is out (I think) this week.

[Roseanne, RRRM]

Really? I have never heard of it

[Brendan]

Is it a good brew? Currently watching season 5 in preparation for season 6.

[Brianna]

I've only had a couple but yeah they're pretty good! This year's will be a hoppy blonde called Seven Kingdoms.

[Roseanne, RRRM]

I really need to watch the show

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

I am now re-watching season 2. (about to watch ep 5)

I like 2 characters that I never took any notice of till reading the books - Renly and Margery.

It is fun to watch again with my new background info from the book.

Oh he was! I should watch it again soon.

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

Someone fill me in please (or remind me if I have just forgotten)

So Sansa was first married to Tyrion and then they both just kind of went their own ways and took off from King's Landing.

But then she ended up being forced to marry Ramsay.

So how can she marry Ramsay if she is still technically married to Tyrion? Did her first marriage end that I cannot remember? What is this Sister Wives where you can be married to more than one person at a time? Enlighten me please.

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

"I think that the marriage not being consummated is a good enough reason (at least in the TV show). But I also have a different theory. Tyrion is now a convicted criminal on the run. What happens to criminals? Don't they get stripped of land and titles? And doesn't that also include forfeiting all their possessions and family ties?

After all, what about criminals who decide to join the Night's Watch? They can't have wives anymore, so I guess that would automatically end any marriage they have, even if it's consummated and even without approval of the Faith.

So I don't think it'll be a big problem for Sansa to void her marriage to Tyrion on the grounds that it wasn't consummated and that Tyrion is now a criminal and kin(g)slayer. And even if they'd still have to get approval of the Faith, I don't think they would need the High Septon himself for that. A normal septon would probably suffice for that, and I'm sure there are some in the North as well."
- This is someone's theory I got from an online GOT question & answer forum.

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

Thanks Terry. That makes complete sense.

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

This is not normally my kind of movie but I intend to see it because "Dani" and "Tywin" are in it. Was I the only one who did not know that?

Me Before You

I bet those two actors likely don't know each other super well. They are not often on the same sets in GOT.

Thanks Leslie!! That is totally the type of movie I love - never realized that was Dani with brown hair! I'll have to wait until I can stream it from Netflix or Amazon because I have to eat ice cream and cookies in my big comfy chair when watching that stuff (plus, no way in hell would my husband go to the movies with me to see that)

I didnt know because I dont watch the show but I loved that book so I wanted to see it anyway.

Roseanne wrote: "I didnt know because I dont watch the show but I loved that book so I wanted to see it anyway."

Yes, it is not usually the type of book I read, but once in a while I find a chick lit that I really like.
Are you going to read Me After You?

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

Not me. I really doubt I will read it. When I feel the need for some chick lit I reach for Rainbow Rowell. Her books to me are cutesy chick lit. I have been hanging onto Carry On for a while now.

[Roseanne, RRRM]

I just haven't had time to but I will. Eventually

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

Leslie, have you ever read Eleanor and Park? That one is on my bookshelf, but I haven't read it.
Sorry, I got us way off topic here...

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

You Before Me
Me after you
Me before you

All those names are confusing me. I think I labelled it wrong and will fix.

I did indeed and loved it. But the one of hers that I loved the most was Attachments. That was just a real treasure for me.

And who cares about being off topic - it's what we do sometimes.

Me too. Almost all looked really good Brianna,

[Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie), Not_Your_Typical_Lannister]

I know absolutely nothing about the Mazerunner series. I have had no interest at all. But I was flipping through the channels and scorch trials is on now.

I just saw the actors for both Littlefinger and Jojen!

I need to watch this stuff. Is it any good?

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

When does season 6 end? I want to start book 4 after the tv season ends so I don't get the book confused with the series. Thanks!

From ew.com:

Posted July 18 2016 — 12:03 PM EDT

Summer is coming.

HBO is officially confirming some major changes for Game of Thrones.

Season 7 of the fantasy sensation will not return until summer 2017 – pushing back from the show’s usual strategy of premiering each edition of the series in the spring (typically April).

Also, the network is confirming for the first time that next edition will consist of seven episodes (a pull back from the show’s usual 10 hours).

Plus, HBO added that the next season will be shot in Northern Ireland, Spain, and Iceland. It’s been a couple years since the Thrones team used Iceland for significant shooting, having primarily used the location for North of the Wall scenes when Jon Snow was embedded with the Wildlings camp.

The seasons were already too short for my liking. Does this mean the series will be done after a short session 8?

OMG when the series is done that will suck so badly. Oh now I feel
Depressed just thinking of that.

[LENA]

I'm afraid you are right Leslie. I heard season 7 and 8 will be both very short approximately 15 episodes in total and season 7 will have some scenes from the 6th book (Martin didn't give everything away till his book comes out) and the 7th book and season 8 will be about the final chapters of book 7.

By the way did they announce a release date for the WInds of Winter???

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

Maybe the first and last episodes will be extra long(?)

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

I found this on a question and answer website -
This is from Deborah Tolley:

Here is my “die-next” list:

1. Cersei Lannister (100% sure) She is a mad queen. She is totally crazy and by this time has nothing to lose. She killed Tyrells. And she will pay for this (Olenna grandma will take care of that)

2.Benjen Stark (95% sure). Probably when White Walkers will be reaching the Wall.

3.Euron Greyjoy (90% sure). I personally don’t like this character at all. If Yara has persuaded Daenerys to help her and Theon, I think that Euron is in danger :)

4.Theon Greyjoy (90% sure). Of course, maybe this character will try to become more than Reek, but I don’t believe in that. I think he will die during the battle in King’s Landing.

5.Lyanna Mormont (80% sure). She is a young leader, so cute and authoritative. A lot of people are already in love with this character. So why not to kill her? (Crazy logic of screen writers, not my opinion)

[LENA]

Hope Lyanna stays alive! I like this kid. I can't wait to see Cercei drawing her last breath...

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

I don't know - GOT wouldn't be the same for me without Cersei...as much as I love Jon Snow and Arya, I also really liked the character of Marguery and was disappointed to see her killed.
Cersei and Jaime are two of my favorites because they are not only good-looking, but interesting and conflicted characters.

[LENA]

You are right Terry. I don't think they will kill Cercei or Jamie long before the end of the show. It will probably happen in the last season. But then again there is the final battle with the whitewalkers. I just don't see how they can fight them while Cercei is still alive. She's just too mad to unite the 7 kingdoms against such an army. It will probably be Dany who does this. Maybe season 8.

[LENA]

I just watched this and I really want to cry because I know I won't be able to watch it till next summer...
