Best advice I can give is either to use your ignore preference button (which can be found through your profile), or learn to recognise certain names of posters who post the same thing after every episode, year after year...and then scroll past them. No need for giving them attention. ;)

Welcome to the boards, all newcomers! :cheers: You are not alone, Nolan Clegane. :devil:

As a White Walker myself (from the frozen wasteland just north of you), I welcome you! :D

A pleasure to finally meet, Blue Tiger. I've always had a soft spot for your moniker and avatar, being born in the Year of the Tiger...nice intro, btw. :) eta: Hello and welcome to all newcomers. :D

:lol: Heard and understood! It's getting to the point that we'll soon be White Walkers. Welcome, all newcomers. :cheers:

Charles Dance is in Fallen Angel (a tv series) and I caught a scene with Donald Sumpter (Maester Luwin) in it. Didn't watch every minute, so there may be other GoT actors, but I got all mushy when I saw him.

Rumours abound about Lena Headey occasionally peeking around the site, so I just wanted to pop a note of congratulations to her on the great news just in case!

A hearty welcome to all newcomers. :cheers:

As a fan of The Good Wife, I sort of wrinkled my nose when I'd heard that he'd been cast as the Viper. Boy did I get proven wrong.

I actually grabbed hubby's hand in sheer glee on spotting him. :lol: Rickon! So adorable! Before the show ended I had it mapped out in my head how little Rickon would grow up and hunt down Lord Tywin as revenge for what he did to his father (Dracula) ... and was horribly disappointed that it ended the way it did. Boo.

Has anyone mentioned Sean Bean in The Frankestein Chronicles (tv)? If so, sorry for missing that post.

Welcome to all the newcomers to the board. :D Good luck to all concerned during the storm. Stay safe and warm throughout. :cheers:

:lol: I chuckled throughout the first episode every single time I recognised a face ... what fun! Plus, a show with great potential. I did like The Tudors, but it went to far over the top for my tastes from time to time. This one is more up my alley.

:lol: I tried googling myself once to get to my Facebook page (having deleted the link), only to see the page covered with pictures of a blonde hottie in a bikini! I glared at my husband for at least a minute thinking he'd 'updated' my FB avatar, until I realised she was from the southern states. Now every time I link up to FB, her page comes up instead of mine. Moral? No more self-googling for me! :(

I haven't given up on all the casting yet. Remember that Ramsay had been cast in secret as 'The Boy'. :lol: Fingers crossed!

Sometimes it's just about us Westeros folk chatting about a 'What If' scenario. :)

:cheers: I love those lightsaber vids! This one does top the Ned/Jaime fight. :lol: I think there are more on Best Lines and Kills Threads. http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/111825-best-lines-and-kills-of-409/ They start on the 7th page from what I can tell.

Wow! A lot of new members lately... :cheers: A hearty welcome to the boards to all newcomers from page 103 on (post #2150 and up to be precise!) that I overlooked. ;) and Congrats! :D I've read a few of your posts, and haven't read anything unusually harsh in them.

Nicely stated. Concerning the bolded part; as a Native (Arctic born/bred), I do sympathise with the Free Folk. They (the Free Folk) are aware of the impending danger and have decided to fight for their lives no matter the cost. They are being led by a man who (from what I recall) hasn't once attempted to contact the Night's Watch to warn them or reason with them, and he somehow manages to focus or magnify the wrath/resentment the Free Folk feel at being shut out of the 'realms of man' ... in essence they're tired of being told that they are not men/human. The First Nations fought to keep their ancestral migration routes open. The slaughter of the herds that the First Nations had followed for countless generations was probably the greatest source of their rage. There were warriors (Tecumseh, offhand) who tried to bring the nations together to drive away/slaughter the settlers, but most elders and chiefs chose to attempt negotiations rather than see the destruction of their ways. I think much of the Blackwater love has to do with Tyrion and the political climate of King's Landing, quite honestly. I was never invested emotionally in the Lannisters (or King's Landing) or the back-stabbing/squabbling/scheming. They all come across as self-indulgent, entitled jerks. But I am a Neil Marshall fan - and knowing he only had a few days to get everything prepared, I think he did a bang-up job. The reason I liked this past episode so much more is because of my emotional investment in the Night's Watch. They are a group of uncouth, raw, and rather savage men/boys, and they live a day-to-day existence with very little awareness or recognition from the south concerning their sacrifices. I shed a few tears, and dug holes in my husband's hand while watching ... and I'm still sad about the deaths. Gawds ... that makes me think the scene where Gilly was about to whale on Sam even more cute. The look on her face when she realised it was him was just so perfect ... Oh, I love that photo. I remember when the story came out (Sansa adopts Lady in Real Life), I just wanted to hug Sophie Turner. Ned killing Lady was the first time I shed tears watching this show, so it gladdened my heart to have a RL happy ending. :)

:lol: Fundamentalists is now my word of the week!

A picture of that smile right beside every single one of his quotes: Edd the troll! :lol: His scenes/lines certainly underlined his passion when defending the Night's Watch and the Wall for the non-book-readers. This makes the speculation that he will assume Bowen Marsh's role all that more interesting.

I agree with most of your points here. I gave Blackwater an 8, and realistically I was going to give this a 9 until I realised that I had cheered for Alliser 3 separate times! 3 times, ffs! So it got an extra full point from me. I'm still shaking my head over that ... Neil Marshall only had a few days (a week or so) to prepare for Blackwater, whereas he had several weeks/months to prepare for this one. And the first time I watched, yep, corny Ygritte death. Second watch? I teared up. :stillsnifflling: Oh! Welcome to the board! :D :cheers:

Welcome to the boards. :cheers: I had to think about this from a non-book-reader perspective, and I do think most of the audience (who don't know about Stannis' arrival to save the day, so to speak) are feeling the Wall is about to be breached and the Night's Watch end is nigh. Mance's threat is rather menacing in the trailer, if nothing else. The ones I've spoken to that haven't read the books are still reeling over Oberyn's death and Tyrion's apparent demise so they don't really 'feel' the emotions we book-readers did at the happenings at the Wall.

Welcome! Enjoy your time on the boards. :) :cheers: Regarding your question, I'm at a loss ... if it were Eli Roth himself, he's most likely one of the guys covered in blood in the background. :P :bawl: Mind you, that grin on Edd's (Ben Crompton's) face just seems wrong somehow ... :eek:

I'm too scared of the expression on your avatar's face to add anything. :ack: Did you mean Ygritte? :) And quite honestly, the non-book-readers won't know about Stannis showing up. All they saw was Jon deciding to go on a dangerous mission (without Ghost, apparently!), and the trailer for next week having Mance state that he will see to it that every Night's Watchmen is dead (can't remember the exact quote). The book-readers know what is coming, but not all who watch the show have read the books, to be fair.
