Game of Thrones Season 3 Recap (1): Lessons Learned On A Few Fronts…

Among other things, let’s see now:

  • Lannisters always pay their debts (unless they’re to other Lannisters)
  • You CAN survive a green magic hellfire explosion if you land on some big rock in the sea that saves your life (ouch.)
  • Mothers DO make mistakes that make for nice plot kicks in the ass
  • Undead-looking armies seem to be REALLY bad at killing slow, fat guys.
  • The new people you meet are the same as the old people you meet… just newer
  • And most importantly, “Men don’t need nipples” (ouch!)

Episode 2 is Sunday. If you don’t have HBO yet, you’re welcome (sorry for the spoilers, thought)…

Game of Thrones Season 3: A Threesome of Features To Heat Up Your Monday…


 

Ewwww. That already infamous “Men don’t need nipples” line and scene from the Season 3 premiere nearly sent a cup of hot tea flying into the air last night, fortunately, you could see it coming a mile away (hopefully). Still, yikes. If that’s the army Daenerys wants (and gets), what’s she going to do with them should she also gain the throne she desires and there are a few thousand left? Probably buy them some chairs so they can FINALLY sit down, ha ha. Hmmm? Of course, given the “feel no pain” way those guys work, it should be quite an epic battle that takes place.

Er… Well, as long as we don’t get shot after shot of nipple slicing (yuk)…


 
Anyway, I still haven’t gotten around to reading any of the books (and don’t really plan on it as like The Walking Dead, I know that there’s a GREAT deal of deviation and additions to the source material), so don’t tell me anything. I have a dragon under my bed and it knows your address. Or so it tells me. Hey, I just feed it whomever shows up ringing my doorbell unannounced (so there are a few cable TV salespeople not annoying others about needlessly expensive and some pompous proselytizers missing a few sheep from their flocks, methinks)…


 

And of course, these interviews are always hilarious to watch because of the dumb questions that get pitched at people who really can’t say much for any number of great reasons. Still, a little insight goes a long way, that’s for sure. I wonder what the motto of House Martin is these days? Hmmm… that’s a good question to ask, I bet (or not)…
