Game of thrones

Agree on the natural hair color, but to match the look the targarians all had blonde to almost white hair. So it was needed for the part. In the early episodes Urg had blonder hair two which has made people wonder if he isn't really a Lannister, but a targarian as well.

If we ever see URG riding a dragon we'll know.

Btw - this was our favorite Super Bowl commercial:

I’ll either do that or go through Prime. The issue is less $$ than convenience. We don’t have a smart TV in the bedroom, so no streaming unless I buy a Roku or Fire Stick for it. (My wife has lupus so she’s stuck in bed sometimes.)

Sports keeps us on Dish, but I will dial it way back.

We use a PS4 in the living room (also use PSVUE for TV and antenna), amazon box the bedroom, and daughter has an amazon tv in her room. Amazon supports PSVue for the sports.

Fun fact, Dany is 13 years old in the books in season 1. In the show she's supposed to be 17. In real life she was 23ish.
And Tageryn's had purple eyes but the contacts hurt too much so they ditched them.

I hadn't heard about the contacts story. I read the first book, have the others on my bookshelf.. Stopped because I didn't want to get thrown off by the show.

My wife and I love the show. She's read all the books, but I haven't. She says the series stayed fairly true to the books for about the first three seasons, then it went off the rails and completely in its own direction. Your're probably safe to read the books now without spoiling anything.

I think the wife and I are going to wait until after the season at this point... We are rewatching the whole series right now (started last week). A lot of the conversations have so much more meaning as you watch them again & again.

We were watching True Detective, stopped then finished the last 4 episodes over the weekend, then started GOT season five last night. From the Thursday before the super bowl until last night, we have gotten through 41 episodes. Only having a few nights were we took breaks.

I think it seems pretty obvious at this point that Bran now is also Bran the builder.

I like the Cersei angle. There is actually some rumors that the Starks are the direct descendants of a marriage unification of the original white walker/night king and a human. Which is why they are pretty much immune to the cold.

The war could end on marrying off Cersei to obtain peace and have them retreat.

cant wait, the finale was epic with the wall crumbling, the white walkers marching and a friggin zombie dragon!!

Heard one rumor that says the prince that is promised is the offspring of Dani and John, and upon receiving that as a tribute, the Night King will retreat.
