Yep if Rico hasn't quit watching by then, he'll burst a blood vessel after that episode ;)

That is an understatement! :)
I love how I recognize most of the actors from either Downton Abbey, or Rome (the HBO series).

Who else besides ser Jorah was from downton?

Yep, I'm still with this show. It's actually kind of grown on me over time. The first episode back was paced well I thought. They actually hooked up with a good deal of many of the main characters and stories it seems. I really enjoy watching Daenerys and her story arc. John Snow has an interesting story going too. Joffrey can't die soon enough for me. And of course Tyrion and the reaction on his face when he met with his father was just awesome. I have a feeling that was a big mistake on his father's part. Season seems to be off to a great start.

Ygritte. She was in the first season as the maid who wanted to be a secretary.

Yes, it will be interesting to see the chickens come home to roost this year.

I re read much of the thread and found it funny how Rico kept saying he was going to stop watching during the first two seasons...all valid points of course but I'm glad to see you're still with us! Over the next two seasons you might just get some of the payback you've been hoping for...lots of surprises in store!

Rico · April 01, 2013, 06:09:13 PM

I was very close to stopping. But it's kind of got me now and I need to see some payback - badly.

Game of Thrones breaks new Torrenting records on the new season premeire. And no one was surprised heh. And viewership numbers went up 13% So, it was clearly a hit on both ends.

Also, not that we doubted it, but they've been picked up for season 4 (aka book 3, part 2)

I knew I recognized her from somewhere! She's one foxy wildling.

I just this minute finished watching the last 45 minutes of the last episode of Downton...how horribly sad! This writer must absolutely despise poor Mary and the Crowleys in general...he's so mean to them all!

Two tragedies in one season was a bit much. Is this the Walking Downton Dead??

There were actor-related issues with regard to Downton. The person in question decided to leave the show.

ChrisMC · April 02, 2013, 03:59:41 PM

Yeah I know. It was just a bummer way to end the season.

OT: My wife and I just started in on Season 3 of Downton. She loves the show and has converted me. Where do you watch them? Is season 3 streaming any place? We have been watching on Amazon, but have to pay for the 3rd season.
