Yep, I was pretty grossed out when the man kissed her. Re: Killing of Robert's bastards.

I did not enjoy that episode as much as others. At least, Tyrion continues to be clever and entertaining. He should have knocked both the enuch and Cersei out. Cersei is such a bitch. The poor baby and Jon got wacked on the head. Gendry and Arya are alright. Stannis and Mesilandre are way too creepy. Baleish/Little Finger is a piece of [!@#$%^&*]. I hope someone sticks a sword into him and cuts his head off before this is all done. Oh, I did enjoy Theon's sister and father taking him down a peg or two. He is so full of himself. He really is useless crap.

Cersei is sick and cruel killing all Robert's children. They are not legal heirs and are no real threat to Joffery. She is doing it out malice and pure evil.

Okay, I loved the premiere. It is insane how much is going on. Tyrion is the best. I worry that his "girlfriend" will only bring him trouble. My Jon Snow remains adorably innocent. That man with his daughters for wives was repellent. Although it is hard to be more repellent than Joffery. The wolves are huge now. The CGI there is not particularly good though. I love that Peter Dinklage is now the first credit. It is well deserved. I hope he gets a raise also.

You tell her, Tyrion. i can't wait to see Tyrion in action. Peter Dinklage is such a talented actor.

I am not watching that sneak peak. I don't want it to be completely spoiled. I am already on pins and needles. Sunday 9:00 p.m. cannot come fast enough. I am waiting until Sunday evening to sign back up for HBO though. Here is another clip with behind the scenes takes: http://www.youtube.c...&v=Ww6rFGkU_44#! This clip profiles more new characters:

Thanks for posting the interview. I have to say the dirty unwashed hair is a turn off, might have completely cured me of my crush. We'll see when the season starts.

LOL! Zombies eating people (and animals) alive are definitely part of the attraction, but there is also the human conflict and drama of living in a Zombie-apocalyptic world. If you read the blogs/forums there is a of debate about the morality and practicality of the decisions that the characters make. It also has a strong cast that helps counterbalance the writing which can be mediocre at times.

TWD has become a phenomenon. All over the Internet people are still talking about the season finale. The media blogs have tons of comments on their TWD posts. I have to admit that I am still on a high from the season finale. I am enjoying lurking and reading all the blog and message board comments about the finale. Great stuff.

Nah. Shane, Dale, Jimmy and Patricia had their time and there are more interesting characters and developments ahead. I do see problems in future seasons because if they follow the graphic novels, about 1/3 of the cast will be killed off every season and many of them will be fan favorites. I am just grateful that Herschel survived this cull. I have grown to love him quite a bit.

Oh and don't forget that totally gross scene where Rick saves Herschel by shooting the zombie and then we see a splatter of brain matter on the back of his head. Talk about gore. I loved it!

You and me both, Shawn. TWD was outstanding this season, but might have been even better with Darabont still on board. AMC does not appreciate the hand that feeds it.

ITA. Rick really is one of the best characters. Andrew Lincoln was amazingly good in all his emotional scenes last night. I was very impressed. I hope there is a chance that he can get an Emmy nomination. It was a brilliant second season. I hope that AMC sees all that ad revenue and gives TWD back a few dollars to improve the production. I forgot to mention how totally freaked out I was when Jimmy and Patricia were eaten alive. What a freaking horrible death. Damn. I was also thinking about that Latino group caring for the elderly at the nursing home. They probably got eaten and attacked when the elderly died. Horrible. Also, I loved Andrea running and fight for her life. She turned into one hardass woman. I was rooting for her. I saw the Mad Men promos riffing of TWD. Ha, please, I'll be watching Game of Thrones not that crap.

Carl is young so I excuse him. Now Lori... I'll volunteer to sooth Rick's worries.

Based on Mazzara and Kirkman's comments during the Talking Dead, we are supposed to root for and/or support Rick. When they were asked about Lori's reaction, they looked at each other which made me think that they did that just for the drama, but what they said was that Lori was mad at herself, not at Rick. When Rick cried out that he didn't ask for this and didn't need this, I believed him. He is exhausted by it all and would be relieved not to have to make most of the decisions and protect the group from their own self-destructive actions. I mean, what the hell were they thinking wanting to split up and run off in the dark. Let someone else deal with them. My favorites are Rick, Daryl, Hershel, Glenn, and Maggie.

I think it is because Rick has a moral compass that he is so distraught over killing Shane. He is a mess and Lori rejecting him did not help. But really Rick is all that group has and that is no small thing. As far as Hershel is concerned Rick is in charge and Daryl believes that Rick has honor and has no intention of taking charge or going it alone. Maybe Andrea could step up, but she is not around at the moment.

Rick tries to save anyone when he can, but he was wrong with Randall who was bad news, period. And I am not crying for that crazy ass Shane. I am glad that he is dead. Rick should have put him down a lot sooner.

GOT is an amazingly good series. You should check it out.

I am not far from agreeing with you, Shawn. I'll miss TWD a whole bunch. Fantastic show. Thank goodness, Game of Thrones is starting in a couple of weeks.

OMC, the walkers eating people, going after them. The whole group is split up now. I am freaking out. This crazy good tv! I love this show. Ah, everyone is back together, well not everyone. Damn, Rick abandoned Andrea. Oh well. All them shooting the zombies in the head is a bit unbelievable, took me out of the moment a bit. Wow, Rick finally told them that they are all infected. Andrew Lincoln was fantastic in the scene where he confessed killing Shane to Lori. Lori's reaction was so ridiculous. She is a piece of work. She had to know that it was going to be Rick or Shane in the end. Damn, Rick. I loved his outburst. He sure told them. I loved how he challenged them to go, and then said, if you're staying this is not a democracy any more. I am glad that Daryl told Carol that Rick has honor. How quick she forgot that he is the one who insisted they search for her daughter. I had a good laugh at Hershel's line about God promising the resurrection and expecting something else. LOL! I was glad that Glenn told Maggie that he loved her, but he did not lock the damn door. Cop out with Michonne. They did not show us her face, means they haven't cast the role as yet. I'm watching the Talking Dead with Kirkman. Kirkman said that Rick is done, it is the beginning of the Rick-dictatorship and that they have cast the character of Michonne is an actress from Treme.

Here is another promo, a lot of the same scenes though: http://www.spoilertv.com/2012/03/game-of-thrones-season-2-new-promo.html

The sales of season 1 DVDs are pretty strong: http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/03/16/game-of-thrones-dvd-sales-set-hbo-record/ I can't wait for the season 2 to start.

I am predictable with the Jon Snow love. LOL! I like Danys' profile as well. I wonder if anyone could even take the dragons from her since they are bonded to her. I am not a big fan of Natalie Dorman, but her narration did perk my interest in Renly's story.

I love these profiles. HBO is doing a great job hyping the new season of GOT.

Damn, Ned's head on a pike, that is cold.
