It’s Saturday and the wait for the next episode gets interminable at this point. To kill the time join me for a jaunt through last week’s episode, “Kill the Boy”. The video gods were not kind to me so you’ll notice weirdness with the color balance of my footage and a shadow over my face. The stills from GoT are fine though and my audio is clear. OTHER than the poor quality of my video, what do you think?

Kit Harington appears in Out magazine this week, covering a number of topics including losing castmates, the homoerotic vibe of the Night’s Watch, and being sexualized in the media.
“So many people have left and died,” Harington says of the show’s high kill count. “It’s getting thinner and thinner on the ground each year. I’m just holding on to those people that have been there from the start, the core group, and wishing and praying that none of them die.”
About the Night’s Watch, “There is something quite homoerotic about that,” Harington admits. “They all bunk up together. I haven’t really thought about it too much, but they’re brotherly. There’s brotherly love.”
Azad Injejikian has let himself be inspired by the latest episode of Game of Thrones once again:
“A Lannister and a Martell. They have no idea how dangerous that is.”- Doran Martell
From the HBO Game of Thrones official synopsis, “Arya trains. Jorah and Tyrion run into slavers. Trystane and Myrcella make plans. Jaime and Bronn reach their destination. The Sand Snakes attack.”
Somewhat surprising this far into the Game of Thrones season, HBO has dropped another behind-the-scenes videos about new season 5 characters and locations. While the video contains some footage we’ve already seen, there are also several new glimpses and interviews with the cast and writers of the show. Naturally, the Water Gardens, the House of Black and White, the High Sparrow and the Martells feature heavily in the new video. Check it out:
HBO has released five new photos from “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken,” the sixth episode of Game of Thrones season 5.
The episode synopsis: Arya trains. Jorah and Tyrion run into slavers. Trystane and Myrcella make plans. Jaime and Bronn reach their destination. The Sand Snakes attack.

Well, what a week. This crop of videos runs through episode 5 and its perils (Hungry dragons! AWOL dragons! Stone men! Touching Mothers Day anecdotes from House Bolton!). From the most Unsullied to spoliers galore, here they are:
Jonathan loves things in triplets; what did he think of Christina Aguilera’s dragon barbecue and Sadie Hawkins proposal?
HBO’s Game of Thrones (typically, and before this current season) brandishes a consistent and high degree of fidelity to the nearly 5,000-page-long source material of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but there still, of course, are differences. While most of these gaps from the page to the screen are small and detail-oriented, it is nonetheless the case that the most subtle discrepancies often hold the biggest insight into the adaptation process, into the demands of filmmaking, and into the rigors of the literary narrative. This, then, is the anatomy of a key scene of Thrones – not because of its dramatic importance or visual effects whizbangery, but because of the telling nature of its realization. Continue reading →
While we are waiting for the Game of Thrones Facebook recap, here is some more assorted comedy.
Let’s start with a different type of recap – one worthy of Bunk and McNulty (click the image to be taken to the original post at Valar Bloghulis):
