so I yanked myself off games for a while to focus on catching up on my tv shows and get more exercise while doing so because it’s hard to do with a controller.
I basically decided to rewatch every show I’d ever liked for the entire series run beginning to end back to back episodes. Sliders, weeds, xena, hercules, boardwalk empire, dexter (showtime not cartoon network), breaking bad, firefly, sarah connor chronicles, chuck, leverage, lexx, lie to me, my own worst enemy, dragonball and related Z and GT series, various anime shows like elfen lied, berserk, gilgamesh, get backers, I could probably fill several pages if I keep on like this so you get the idea, I’ve spent a couple straight months working out and watching tv 8 to 12 hours a day letting business run itself, and I’m in much better shape for it.
Now I find myself having to explain entire plot lines to people that remember any of the shows yet can’t remember the point of the show or just want a reminder. But for a current show who’s season finale just aired sunday I find it ridiculous to explain the awesome show “Game of Thrones” to some of these people. Ed Stark could’ve gone either way but his death was almost necessary to setup a new “mad king” in the form of prince joffrey, and turn Stark’s son into an avenger not unlike himself in his youth with Robert Baratheon. Additionally teaching a lesson that there’s a reason they didn’t let kids become kings. On the more important note the complaints about Khal Drogo, should stop he was never meant to last very long and he wasn’t a critical character. The simple breakdown is in the opening credits, there’s 4 important people to note of, the Wolf, the Elk, the Dragon, and the Lion, the wolf being the Stark family, elk is Baratheon, Dragon is Targaryen, and lion is Lanister. Drogo was merely a method to transfer power to the Targaryens which now only consists of the one and her dragons but all the same she’s now a mighty force.
The way I see it, is they’re still focusing in on the key players, the white walkers have no leader I’ve heard of so far if they’ll ever get one, and the Baratheons are almost gone, leaving only Stanis the now retired Knight / Guard, and the Bastard armorers apprentice, which I’m not sure how they’ll come back yet. I likely see the white walkers getting past the wall while every worth while force is in the south only to march straight into the Targaryen army as they’re crossing the sea. If not then perhaps they divide the land in two and as the armies march north the Targaryen’s march opposite and sandwhich the white walkers giving a short reprieve or landing near kings landing just after the armies march home into the walkers.
Back to an earlier point I was trying to get at, Starks have focused in on a leader, while Lanister isn’t quite as clear, being as joffrey is being counted as both Baratheon by belief and Lanister by fact, and my soon be deposed by any number of means, I’m not sure how to count him but his mother is certainly the brain trust on the throne. Though the Imp may change that, and while jaimme may be captured if he turns there’d be a split in the Lanister faction, and his father Tywin is the leader of the army I don’t see Tywin as having enough screen time to become a very important leader, at least not yet.
now in unrelated news I think I’m going to turn this into a project blog for whatever it is I’m doing, making my game, a special computer case, w/e
