Been a While

Author: Anonymous / Labels: , , ,

It's been a few months, but I have been actively reading many Game of Thrones related websites for any pending information.

Lots of excellent information is available at The Tower of the Hand and The Watchers on the Wall.

Awesome Twitter pics being uploaded, too. The cast and crew are back in various locales around Europe, most notably Ireland and Spain.

Some of the Game of Thrones cast was nominated for an Emmy Award or two, which was fantastic to see. Can't wait to see what Season Seven has in store for us fans. Hard to believe that we still have 8 months to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, the impatience is hard to bear for us all, but perhaps GRRM will have completed a certain book by then?

One can hope!

Until then, fans will have to content themselves with other awesome series that are currently on AMC or Starz, such as Ash versus Evil Dead or The Walking Dead. I'm keeping comfort watching both!

Booyeah!

Excellent Emmys

How fortuitous......the Emmy's just happened to fall on GRRM's birthday (September 20).

And what a birthday present he got! Game of Thrones won in several areas, most notably being Peter Dinklage winning his second Emmy award.

He is awesome, his wit razor sharp and his political savvy a blessing. No wonder why Peter Dinklage won the Emmy - Tyrion Lannister is not only a fan favourite, but every time fans are fortunate enough to see Tyrion on screen, we know something interesting, dynamic or shocking is about to happen.

Happy birthday, GRRM. So, um....as a birthday present for your fans....any chance that The Winds of Winter will be coming out winter of 2016??

Charles Dance & Maisie Williams

Well, as with all awards shows, the Emmys have put forth suggestions for their nomination ballots.

I BETTER see Charles Dance and Maisie Williams being nominated for Best Actor or Actress or Supporting Actor and Actress.

Yes, for those that have read the books, you know that in a Clash of Kings, they don't actually have personal contact while at Harrenhal, but I have to give credit where credit is due: pairing the debonair Charles Dance with spunky newcomer Maisie Williams was the perfect pairing. It was magic.

It was better then Nutella and bananas. Yes, I said Nutella! I know Charles Dance has been around in many movies, mini-series and plays/theatre productions. He is handsome, sophisticated and magnetic. I will admit, as a woman in her 30s, he is quite the sharp dressed man! I can't picture another English actor in the role of Tywin Lannister. That is a compliment to Charles Dance, because he just oozes leadership and control as Tywin. Right down to that steely glare.

As for Maisie Williams, when she portrays Arya Stark, she is tough, can hold her own against Dance's Tywin Lannister and still manage to maintain her sassy attitude. She portrays a tomboy in the first season, who was forced to grow up, especially after her father was executed. In the second season, we see her using her wit and fencing skills to help get her ahead, while pretending to be a boy. Her lessons with Syrio paid off.

I really want to see these two being rewarded this year for their compelling performances.
