    Game of Thrones?

    any other watchers? it's pretty good. I'm not religious about it, but I enjoy it.

    I am ready to see the dragon queen lay it down though.

    I'm religious about it. I love that show.

    So much good tv right now

    True detective finishing up
    Game of thrones
    Boardwalk Empire
    Shameless
    Hannibal
    Justified
    plus a ton of others I'm forgetting

    Game of thrones is probably my favorite though I want to push Hannibal off on everyone I talk to, God that show is great

    I watch it.

    I read the books this winter. Started a new job with a 50 minute bus commute. I'm very much looking forward to what happens the next couple of seasons.

    wouldn't happen to be Annapolis to DC would it? Have a friend that takes that bus every day. I'm sure there are several around the country that do that, but that bus train has been very popular for years.

    No. It's Cypress to Downtown Houston. A few MSU people here in Cypress. See one or 2 on my bus ride. Most other places this would be a train ride, but Houston is based on the car and Oil, So I'm on a bus.

    I watch the show and have read all the books up to date! I won't give you any spoilers except to say you ain't seen nuthin' yet!! And never assume everything you hear, even from characters themselves is true. The characters themselves often misread what's really going on. Get your mind turnin' and do lots of conspiracy theorizing and you'll enjoy it all the more!

    New season starts this Sunday, Hack.

    Love GoT. I've read all the books, too. It's going to be epic. I've got a conspiracy theory involving Jon Snow that, if I'm right, is going to be crazy awesome when they reveal it.

    Used to rag in friends for watching it because it seemed nerdy. Walked in on a buddy watching and couldn't leave the room. Started the show online that night and finished the three seasons in a week. Great show cannot wait for Sunday

    If we're talking about the same R & L, then yes. It makes a whole lot of pieces of the puzzle fit, like why a certain famous group of knights weren't present at the crucial battle during Robert's Rebellion. And Ned's Promise that he was so haunted by. Also makes his reluctance to talk about Robert's Rebellion and Jon's mother make more sense.

    I'm also working on a theory that there's more than one Azor Ahai Reborn that's capable of fulfilling the Prophecy. I've got at least 2 strong candidates, and 1-2 weaker candidates. None of them are Stannis, fwiw.

    The books are even better. JRRM does some really awesome storytelling that doesn't really work that well for tv and fleshes out even more of the characters.

    May be.

    But this can't be better in books.

    Who else are you thinking of?
    Side not...I saw where GRRM was asked about all the theories..he said that a lot of them are spot on..he said he knows how he wants the story to end, so he's not going to change anything up...I really hope in the next book he goes into detail the fight at the TOJ....insert H.Reed

    No one specific, just trying to make sure we were on the same page. For clarity: RT + LS = J? And eventually we'll end up with J + D uniting the Seven Kingdoms and taking on The Others......I hope.

    I don't think GRRM will get into a ton of detail on the fight at TOJ. So far he's always brought us right up to the battle, then picked up with the aftermath. He's never gone into great details of the large battles and reserves his fight descriptions for the smaller conflicts. The only time he broke from that was Tyrion's defense of King's Landing.

    Won't lie, that was awesome. I'm sure many will disagree, but I don't think she's the hottest GoT chick. I think Melisandre, Ygritte, Sansa, and Margaery are all hotter.

    Well..we're definitely on the same page about Jon..it just seems to obvious...there's way too many hot ass naked chicks in the show to crown one as #1

    I think R+L = J is spot on and I think RB was seeing it how he wanted to see it. I'm not sure AA isn't going to be a villain instead of a hero.

    AA? Sorry, having a brain fart this morning and can't place a character with those initials.
