My God, I love this show soooo much!

There is not a single thing that I didn't enjoy. From the terror of what's happening up North to the magic and disgustingness of Dany's travels.

Maergery took me by surprise; her move with the orphans is not what I expected at all and I cannot tell for sure whether she truly means it or if it is a part of a plan. I can tell that the bitchfest between Cersei and Maergery will be thrilling to watch. Meanwhile, Tyrion vs Tywin was also great. You gotta love a show that can do gore, fantasy, action AND conflicting personal drama well.

The nipple moment was horrifying--and I would have never expected less! Loved the whole thing with that magical spider (whatever that is), even though the CGI was a little dodgy. And, of course, the dragons! Nice twist at the end, too.

Welcome back Game of Thrones!

I had to turn away from the nipple. That was gratuitous and I don't even want to think about it.

I liked the premiere a lot. The giant was very cool and I like the dragons are growing up. As for the characters and stories this year, I liked that that guard from season 1 showed up with Dany all these episodes later. That's a good memory on the part of the plot. Jon Snow looks to be spending another year on his own, and whatever happened to his uncle he went looking for two seasons ago? Tywin and Tyrion were great: Lannister Sr is just a mean, mean guy but a lot of what he says is vaguely based on fact. Tyrion would furnish the house with whores. I get the sense Littlefinger has sexual designs on Sansa, and Robb should start being nicer to his mother. I wish we saw Jaime this week and whatever became of Greyjoy but the cast is so big. And I love, love that Jon's wolf is on the job fighting for justice and The Watch.

I did enjoy Tywin/Tyrion's conversation. Tywin is such a bastard. I felt for Tyrion. It is a miracle that he survived the cruelty of his father and sister, but then he did have Jamie.

I read the NY Times' article on GOT. HBO's executives doe not sound as enthused about the show as I would expect and seem particularly embarrassed about its fantasy element. Very odd.

      Which is what I'm sure the show wanted. Now Liz can be ready for Finn's triumphant return.

      I am so damned embarrassed to be an American with that...thing...at the helm.

      Jan was supposed to be a Dupree family housekeeper, which connected Ashley to Naomi... but I'm pretty sure they dropped that storyline.

      Very sorry to hear of her passing. Aside from a few clips I've only ever "known" her through scripts and photos, but she along with the rest of the original cast helped make a show that changed daytime forever. We're still talking about one of her major stories on here to this very day.

      I'll miss him too (still can't believe those were actual publicity photos - Joe Breen must have had a coronary), but he won't be gone forever.  Rauch did well at making people feel they were important (as long as they were willing to play along). That's probably why Erika Slezak loved him (he also gave her better story than he gave Zimmer). I think Kim has a certain amount of self-awareness but also needed to feel like she was the big star and desperately needed by the show. Wheeler was clearly incapable of expressing that.

      Nicole has 2 assistants but no one else gets any staff (that we see). Are Dani and Hayley fixing meals and clearing blocked drains? I think they need to establish that they have some assistance. Vernon and Anita need to have a visible housekeeper. Give the Duprees some help!

      . Her husband posted the following message: "The love of my life. The brightness in my life which is now so dimmer. In April I lost you and I miss you so much and I hope you are at peace. Lost Pam due to things beyond what was going on in her life. The original Peggy Brooks on The Young and the Restless and many more shows and commercials and then the creator of Chocolate Fortunes. So beautiful and a hell of a sense of humor. Great laugh, Great smile and Great compassion. You are my sidekick forever. Will miss you and all your sharp barbs. The angels are with you my beautiful angel. Fly safe and be happy. Much love and kisses forever."

      I grew up in a neighborhood behind the gates and it really wasn't uncommon to have your house unlocked. In my neighborhood there was an armed gate before you enter the neighborhood and you have security patrolling 24/7. One thing that was common when I was in high school were for the kids whose parents were real estate agents to use their houses to throw house parties. It was easy because they were always unlocked.
