YRBB

S07E01... So, don't proceed if you haven't watched. What a GREAT cold open. To think it wasn't even planned to be the first scene... but so marvelously done. I did not expect to see old Frey again, but this was amazing. And what a great cameo of Ed Sheeran. His singing really was wonderful. If you're going to do stunt casting, this is how you do it. It was a perfect fit. That entire sequence was a surprise. You could see the shock in Arya to see them be so kind. The conflict between Sansa and Jon is so fascinating, juicy. There's clearly love there, but also a lot of complicated family feelings, and they're BOTH right and wrong. You can see both their POV. This is going to be great, but I do hope they don't end up too far apart. Boy, they really did try me with 2 minutes of Sam cleaning shιt and almost puking, but it paid off, as it showed his intimate knowledge of the citadel and therefore ability to gain access to the restricted section (echoes of Harry Potter! ha!). It's clear convincing everyone to help him will require work. Glad he discovered the location of the dragonglass, although with Dany there, Jon might have trouble gaining access. And what a shock -- Jorah is there! I did not see that coming. The Hound's journey of guilt was also very fascinating. Such an unexpected turn for him. The writing is very deep & complicated for Cersei, especially when she bitterly asked Jaime if she was supposed to mourn her lost children. If she allows herself to do that, she'll probably never recover. And Euron is just fun. His proposal scene was equally dangerous and funny. Tormund & Brienne forever, of course. What a great pay off to see Dany finally reach her home. That wonderfully produced sequence, stunning in its magnitude. I love how silent it all was, until the very end. It's back!

Males are losing their shιt!

And for this mild, summery Sunday, July 16, 2017, long-haired hotness!

WINTER IS HERE TONIGHT!!! I haven't even watched any of the trailers. I am just ready. My body is ready. I am prepared.

Female Doctor Who! Oooooh man the freakouts we're already seeing!

On this nice Saturday, July 15, 2017, here's tattoo hotness! Enjoy your weekend!

So sad! This was him. He fell 20 feet off a balcony onto concrete floor. Poor man. These stuntpeople do so much and make it look so easy, but it's at constant risk.

It's a rainy Friday, July 14, 2017, so only some wet hotness will do! Tsss!

In other news, Frank Darabont's, the show's first showrunner up until his firing mid-Season 2, profane emails to his Walking Dead co-workers come to light during ongoing lawsuit.

A Walking Dead stuntman suffers serious injuries on set and production is temporarily shut down. The AMC statement actually used the word 'tragic' accident. Scary stuff!

Thanks! Gina/Patty/Lauren stuff. How rare. How fun! That scene with Jack making faces while Ashley is guessing his plan is exactly why Jack, and Terry Lester, are so awesome. What a scoundrel! Scheme your sexy ass off, baby! Classic Jill stuff.

On this beautiful, hot Thursday, July 13, 2017, hotness that doesn't even need to be shirtless!

It's a hot & humid Wednesday, July 12, 2017! Strike a hotness pose and get over it!

On this very hot Tuesday, July 11, 2017, hotness that looks good from any angle -- even the 'hospital angle'!

Can't wait! Some details on the upcoming season.

I will never forget the shock & excitement of this moment. A great twist in the story.

And for this Monday, July 10, 2017, some start-of-the-week beach hotness!

They look really great, like hardly a day has passed!

On this Sunday, July 09, 2017, a serious mirror selfie! Le sigh!

On this nice Saturday, July 08, 2017, hotness casually posing in the gym!

For this rainy Friday, July 07, 2017, some Snapchat filter hotness!

For this Wednesday, July 05, 2017, some Armour hotness!

It's Tuesday, July 04, 2017... Happy 4th of July my darlings!

Thanks for posting that! That was fun. Very interesting about the art giving subconscious messages and the backstage tuna and cajun chicken stories LOL It's nice to see that the cast still have such vivid memories, and they are pretty clear-headed about what parts of the show worked/didn't work. They truly seem to love it and not look down on it. Nothing will EVER compare to the insane fun of Seasons 2 and (particularly) 3. By mid-Season 4, I'd realized it was over, but man those two seasons were great.
