Game of Thrones - The red wedding episode

I know, I know, guys, I was shocked as well and I DID read all the books so I knew this was going to happen! Still, the denial was so sweet while it lasted!

Wanted to write this sooner but I had to recover from all the emotions episode 9  from season 3 of Games of Thrones brought to me!

 What was in my heart? Something like this:

After all the drama that was and is still going on right now on every social media platform out there about the Sunday’s Game of Thrones episode, called The Red Wedding, I just felt the need to enlighten you with my wisdom. 

First of all, I get the sadness of what happen, but come on, guys, you really have to be tougher than this if you still want to watch 'Game of Thrones' from now on and not have a nervous breakdown, plus crazy crying and hair pulling sessions after every episode. 

I know, I know (spoiler alert!) that Robb, Talisa and Catelyn Stark were killed but you see, you have to stop taking it personal as R.R. Martin is a cruel, cruel man that does not care about your feelings and he will kill whoever he wants, whenever he wants. That is not to say that he is not brilliant but he is a pretty dark dude and you will get your hart broken some more if you stick with it. 

I’m not trying to be insensitive here; I’m just trying to prepare you for the future. You see, I’m a kind soul that only wants to help by ripping all hopes that you my have early on so you don’t think that if you love a character they will be saved. Because they will be not, they will probably die a horrible death while you hug your pillow, desperately crying and yelling at the TV like a mad person. I know because I read the books and I did just that. Much ice cream was harmed during the times as well! Even more than usual that is!

So stop the “Oh, no they didn’t” or “Why HBO, why?!” or “I have no words!” remarks because they did and yes, you will hopefully get over it! 

After reading what some people wrote about this episode I have to say: enough crying, go ahead and read the books already! Believe me, as awesome as the TV show is, the books are so much better and you will stop whining after every episode as you will already know what is going to happen, your heart will already be broken and all hope will be gone!

Now, just tell me that that is not a brilliant idea and such a kind suggestion on my part? You are welcome, young grasshoppers!

Game of Thrones - season 3 teasers

Winter is coming on March 31^st. 

Are you guys as excited as I am about the new Games of Thrones season 3 premiere? We only have a few more days to wait: March 31^st is the magic date.

Even thought I have read all the books, I’m still crazy about the series. The truth is that HBO did an amazing job with it. 

The new season will cover half of A Storm of Swords, the third novel in Martin's A Song of Ice and Firesaga and the second half of the book will be covered in season four. I really hope the show will be picked up for next year as that didn’t happen just yet, but I’m sure it will.

 Ain't that the truth? Ygritte, you're a true poetess:))))

 The scenery  is always breathtaking!

So many things happened in Game of Thrones season 1 and 2: betrayal after betrayal, characters hating each other, blood, dragons, love, war, intrigue  and the always shocking end of the season, so it’s not crazy to assume that we will get some much expected payoff time now.  

If you are a hardcore fan of Game of Thrones (like yours truly), you have to check out the The King's Roadmap that some very cool guys built recently - it's interactive and will be updated every week to keep up with the new episodes.

This third season was shot in five different countries, with many production teams working simultaneously. Besides Dubrovnik, Croatia, other filming locations included Morocco, Iceland - on the Vatnajökull glacier and Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Another highlight is the Game of Thrones season 3 casting and the fact that new characters will appear: Clive Russell as Bryndon "The Blackfish" Tully, Ciarán Hinds (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) as Mance Rayder, the fearsome King Beyond the Wall, Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Jojen Reed, the burning sword-wielding Baeric Dondarrion (Richard Dormer), slave-turned-handmaiden Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) and Diane Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell, "The Queen of Thorns."

HBO is taunting us for days now with a bunch of amazing new Game of Thrones season 3 trailers and after seeing them I have to say: “HBO, don’t worry, we are still interested in what you are offering!”. 

Also the released photos for the new season got me really excited! Did you see Daenerys with her army? Awesome, right?

And Joffrey, put down the freaking crossbow, you are an idiot and you will only hurt yourself with it (fingers crossed)!!! Why don’t you die already?

Sansa is looking more beautiful every day, I didn't see it at first but Sophie Turner is really stunning in this coming season!

 

And, George R. R. Martin, please don’t even think about doing what you said you are planning to do in the Game of Thrones at the San Diego’s Comic-Con: “I may have to start killing some of these characters to make room for new ones.” If you even touch Jon, Aria, Tyrion or Dany, I will never ever forgive you! 

That being said, I’m not that worried as the show is following the books pretty accurately so far and all my “no, you didn’t” moments have been already rehearsed. I basically know everything that will happen, but I still love to watch how they bring the story to life!

Besides, I’m sure that we can now rest assured Martin will never kill my favorite characters, I just publicly warned him! He would never diss me like that!

Let the games begin! 

Are you a fan? Are you watching the Game of Thrones TV show? Have you read the "A song of Ice and Fire" saga yet? I personally think it's one of the best fantasy series ever written (and I should know - I've read them all)!
