What Moment Gets To You The Most?

Like I’ve posted numerous times before, I haven’t finished reading the books yet so I only have the show to go by. With that being said, I was scrolling through my RSS feed looking for new set photos and whatnot for you guys and I came across a post asking, ‘What moment got to you the most?’ What was funny about this was that I had no idea at first. Literally. The original poster said that the red wedding got to them the most and for very good reasons. >>I’ll post a link at the bottom for you to check out.<< But, for me, the red wedding was shocking (no doubt) but it didn’t make me burst into tears or freak out the way I have seen some people do….it just came as a really big shock that it actually happened. In fact, I think watching Robb’s wife die was more traumatic than Catelyn and Robb dying put together (but that’s just me).

The purple wedding got to me for obvious reasons. Watching your favorite character die not only gives you a sense of finality but you are really really upset about it. I’m going to miss him! -sigh-
However, another moment hit me twice as hard. Tyrion’s trial. Now that was an adventure! Not the good kind either. I found myself screaming at my computer (I livestream) because everyone was blatantly lying and it bugged the heck out of me. I’ll admit, Varys told the truth but in a way that screwed Tyrion over so I couldn’t get too mad but Cersei….and Shae…..oh man, I couldn’t control my anger. Cersei took everything that had happened or had been said and took it completely out of context and then there was Shae….I get it though. The position she was in was tough but it still hurt me so bad because Tyrion is one of my other favorite characters and watching her do that to him knowing how much he cared for her really hurt me. I was angry at first with her but I read other people’s opinions on the matter and I let it go. It made sense. Okay, I let it go up until the season finale when she openly attacked him…then I had no remorse for her. That struck me as odd. Did the Lannisters brainwash her? What happened? This was a cue for me to go and read the books (which I’m working on but I’m nowhere near there yet).

I don’t know, that is what bothered me the most. What about you guys? What moment got to you the most? What moment makes you tick? I’m really interested to know!

As promised, here is a link to the original poster explaining why the red wedding was so intense and you can even read other people’s as well! Enjoy!

GoT 30 Day Challenge (Day 20)

So we have officially reached day 20 which means there are only 10 more days left for this challenge!

Day 20: What’s the most interesting thing about GoT?

The most interesting thing about GoT? Hmmmmm….this is a tough one.

Well….Daenerys’ dragons are really cool….especially Drogon…he’s a badass!
I love that everyone deceives EVERYONE without anyone knowing they are being lied to….it’s kind of funny until someone dies…. :/
Joffrey Baratheon is another interesting aspect to the show…..okay…okay….you had to see that coming though 😛
As far as the show goes, the scenery and effects are top notch…absolutely love it!

This is difficult! I don’t think there is just one thing that really interests me the most. I absolutely love everything about it so it’s hard to decide! What about everyone else? What interests YOU?!

Gosh, I’m just such a huge fangirl! Haha

New Loras Tyrell Footage

Filming has continued in Dubrovnik and a fan managed to capture a video of Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell) filming for the upcoming season. The video is rather far away so there is no sound as to what is being said in the scene but, from the looks of it, Loras is being restrained by two men who cart him off as he tries to struggle to break free. Now, I’m not sure how his story line goes in the books but this sounds intense!

Watchers on the Wall says:

The show has deviated substantially from the plotlines assigned to Loras in the books, and so there may be another change-up happening.

Like I said, I’m not sure how his story line goes in the books but it seems Dan and Dave are deriving from the books again. I genuinely wonder how many fans will be happy about that O.o

The more information I seem to get from the filming for King’s Landing, the more anxious I am becoming for this new season. Anyone else need season 5 now? April seems so far away!

I have placed a link >>here<< for the article and the video is below….

You can also find the video in the article! However, there are some spoilers in the article….but only a little…. 😛 Enjoy!

QUIZ: How long would it take you to read the entire GoT series?

This popped up on my RSS feed the other night and I really wanted to share it with everyone. Basically, you read an excerpt from a novel and the quiz calculates how fast you read and then you take a short quiz on what you read and then how long you would be willing to dedicate to reading ASOIAF everyday.

According to Huffington Post:

It would take the average person – – regardless of his or her allegiance to Westeros – – well over a year to read the entire series. Of course, variables include how much time said reader was able to devote to reading each day.

Now, I’ve had the books for almost a year now and I’ve only managed to read half of the first book. I’ll give GRRM credit…he writes exquisite detail but holy heck, it’s a lot to take in. Also, when you read story after story for your literature classes in school, reading for fun doesn’t sound all that fun anymore….that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

I took the quiz and it told me that I could read the entire series in 184 days (which is 240 days faster than the average person) if I spent 30 minutes a day devoted to reading…which I don’t. Also, I read 325 words per minute so I guess that’s a bonus?? Haha

Anywho, here is a link to the article and TAKE THE QUIZ! It’s fun! 🙂

New Set Photos reveal Cersei, Tommen, and Loras

In the previous months, we have heard rumors as to where the creators of the show are going to take season 5 in regards to the novels. However, in recent weeks, fans have received an insight into filming through tourist photos.

A couple of days ago, I made a post that referred back to an article featuring new photos of Tommen and Cersei. In this new article, we have some new photos of them as well as a few pictures of Loras. How exciting!

WARNING: There are spoilers in the article! Read at your own risk! 

I don’t want to spoil anything on my blog (I hate spoilers as much as the next person) but lightlybuzzed.com explains:

We will more than likely spend a rather great amount of time in King’s Landing during season 5, and these photos show us just what we can expect.

Well, no complaints there! I love the King’s Landing storylines so I am pumped for next season now!

Here is a link to the article, don’t worry, the photo reel appears before the spoilers and there is a warning letting you know you are about to enter spoiler territory. Enjoy!

 

New ‘Main Theme’ Cover

A few months ago, a ‘main theme’ cover was released and it was an 80’s style remix. Link to that is HERE. But, recently, another theme remix was released and this time it’s….a western?

According to slate.com:

If Tarantino ever directs ‘Game of Thrones’, this version of the theme would be perfect.

Now, if Tarantino ever directed an episode, we would be in for a A LOT more gore than we already are. However, this theme is really well done and I wanted to share it with everyone 🙂 Here is a link to the article. Below is the video:

 

GoT 30 Day Challenge (Day 19)

Day 19: Invent a character that would fit in GoT

Alright….so, I remember doing this on tumblr a few months ago and I still agree with what I put so I’m going to say it here to and maybe elaborate some more.

This was my tumblr post:

Well, since I have such a love for Joffrey, I guess I would “invent” a female who actually loved him for who he is and what he…stands for? I mean, don’t get me wrong…I think Joffrey/Sansa are so cute together but she doesn’t love him and she’s terrified of him. Margaery, from what I’ve gathered, really doesn’t give a damn about him whatsoever…she wants to be ‘the’ queen. Whatever.

Wouldn’t that be awesome? Probably not…it’s also a LOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG shot now that he’s dead but it was a nice dream while it lasted. Anywho, to elaborate…I would also want her to be a villain. Just for fun. I like badass women…sorry not sorry?

But, yes, this is what I would do. I think it would be awesome and somewhat….adorbz? maybe? hahaha

GoT 30 Day Challenge (Day 18)

Day 18: What Stark would you be?

I honestly don’t like the way this question is worded. It sounds odd. I’m assuming it is asking me which Stark I would be and, if that’s the case, I would totally be Sansa. One, because she is my favorite out of the family and two, because she gets a lot of hate and I don’t understand it. I think she is an amazing character and I would love to be her just minus all the injustice she went through… :/

GoT 30 Day Challenge (Day 17)

Day 17: Link to an interview you think is funny. 

Interviews with the cast of GoT are literally some of the best things in the world but I do have a personal favorite. This interview is with Jack Gleeson who plays are late King Joffrey. This is such a down to Earth interview and I absolutely adore it. Yes, it is a 30 minute video but it is worth it. Trust me! Enjoy!

This video was uploaded to youtube on October 8, 2013 by UCD – University College Dublin

Filming Continues for King’s Landing

There isn’t much going on as far as the article goes, what we know is that filming for King’s Landing is underway and we have been given an exclusive look to the filming (especially a scene between Cersei and Tommen which looks interesting but I’ll let you decide).

With the Lannister family dwindling down in King’s Landing, Cersei has more than likely positioned herself as Queen Bee again and is doing her best to influence our new King (Tommen). What do you guys think?

Seems as if Tommen really has something to say to his Mother of Madness, don’t you think? This could also still be a rehearsal seeing as Lena Headey still has clips in her hair. Who really knows right now but it sure is awesome!

Anywho, here is a link to the article. The pictures are amazing, by the way! They are really up close so you can really tell what’s going on. Enjoy!

Also, here is another link that provides more photos inside the filming in King’s Landing and this particular scene between Cersei and Tommen.
