Last weekend the did a marathon and played all the episodes. I watched most of them back to back. A good reminder of how good they were. (yes, there are flaws, but nothing is perfect)

Bush-head or no Bush-head version?

I had read the first book before HBO did the series and wondered why it looked so familiar. Then my brother gave me the rest of the books so I am now caught up to what George has done so far (yes, I do know him, though I haven't seen him for a few years). I'm glad he is keeping a tight rein on what HBO is doing, but I wonder at some of the changes, esp. the Winterfell scene and how the Iron Islanders escape with a whole army surrounding them. I'll have to talk to him at Worldcon in September about some of that stuff.

Overall, I've enjoyed the HBO handling of it, given their time restraints. I wonder how long they will keep it going, though. Wasn't happy when they cancelled Deadwood and never did the two part show they promised to wrap it up. My favorite characters (like most everyone) are the dwarf and the youngest Stark daughter. Can't wait until the next season.

Which makes the decision to enrage it, stand right in front of it, and have a good old chortle even more open to constructive criticism.

Fully agreed. How a dude who runs such a cool tower building on his own (he was by himself was he not?) couldn't at least calculate some risk about the dragons starting to spit fire, is totally beyond me. Although we didn't see them do that earlier on, so it may have been unforseeable, in a way. Still, a risk had to be taken into account.

Did Ogie just provide a link to Mother Jones?!?!


I think I need to lie down.

3. Yup, that was unconvincing. He also appeared to wear particularly flammable clothing.

I think this is meant to tell us something about the characteristics of dragonfire. After all, it was substituted for wildfire when the dragons were gone. Not too implausible to assume that dragonfire would carry a substance that keeps burning.
