Guess who’s back?

A man’s name is @OzofThrones and it seems I picked a rather fortunate week to escape on holiday (as unintentional as it may have been).

Regardless, we’ve got a new episode to decipher and it would be unwise to keep the faith militant waiting. Strap it up, kiddos. Time to take the Queen her gift…

The North Remembers: April and May 2012

Posted on by Hear Marko Roar

Raven LogoHello, faithful Watchers! Today I bring you another look at what was going on in our Game of Thrones community three years ago, and this time it’s a double feature covering April and May, due to personal circumstances that prevented me from posting this feature at the end of last month.

  • April 1st saw the premiere of Season Two, and we enjoyed all the excitement a season bring.
  • Just before, though, a number of character posters have been revealed. For example the one of Robb posted below.
  • Season two had it’s share of leakage problems, though nothing like what we are (sadly) experiencing this year. Episode 202 was available on HBO Go in certain regions a week ahead of time.
  • Already in the early episodes, we had to say goodbye to Elyes Gabel (playing Rakharo) and Francis Magee (playing Yoren). Somewhat later, they were joined by Gethin Anthony (playing Renly) and Ron Donachie (playing Ser Rodrik).
  • At the very end of May, episode 209 “Blackwater” aired in all its spectacular glory. It was teased ahead of time with this video.Continue reading →

Do you feel broken after last week’s episode? Well come have a laugh with me while I recap and review Episode 6 Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken as only a Dame can. The format is a bit different. No video of me, just audio but lots of pictures and comments, and no spoilers this time. And, yes, my opinion of the closing scene. But it’s at the very end and I warn you ahead of time, so if you’re just so over that whole discussion you don’t have to hear my two cents.
