Due to popular demand. 

Who has seen the entire series? I've seen up to end of Season 4. Yes I'm behind, so be very careful.

Once I started watching the first episode, then the second I couldn't stop watching. 

I'm about to start season 5 soon. Looking forward to it.

    I have watched most of the first 4 seasons. My wife loves the series, I quite like it. My main gripe is that the concept for the series so easily could have been based on real history rather than fantasy. If anyone has ever read any medieval history from about 900 AD to 1200 AD involving the Normans, the Byzantine Empire and their Varangian Guard, the Arabs and assorted other barbarian tribes from Central Asia and you have a story of conflict that is equal to or better than anything you might see on GoT. But that is just me I prefer some historical perspective rather than pure fantasy.

    Best show I've ever seen I think the ending will revolve around the dragon queen

    Great stuff and lots of A Grade b00bies! Emilia Clarke gets a special mention, she was also great as Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys (the new one) if you didn't know.

    I am all the way up to date, also up to date with Vikings too, not a bad series but not where near GoT.  Has been missing surprise twists and turns i think and the Season 5 was very slow, still good just a bit slow.

    I defiantly got hooked after Joffrey decided that Eddard didn't need his head anymore.  But the biggest surprise was the red wedding!

    you know nuthing H_T.

     

    I judge people who do not watch this !

     

    It is a fantastic show - read all the books and besides watching copious quantities of sport, it is the only non sport  program that i must religiously watch.

    For the opening night of every season we have a game of thrones feast ( yes ..there is a GOT cookbook) and this season i made roast swan  - which was actually turkey but lets keep that our secret.....

    A huge GOT & Tyrion fan here. Got all 5 seasons on dvd. The series has slowed down somewhat, which isn't surprising given how fast it jumped out of the gates!

    Have gained access to watching season 6, and watched all 6 episodes back-to-back.

     

    The Red Woman.........HURLY BURLY!!!!! Rejecting her?!?!?! You know nothing John Snow

    It's science fiction but anythings possible seems the first generation are the first characters , how did the first sherif come back into it I couldn't figure that out because he go run over and killed. Then he's kidnapping a new doctor though I had a few beers we'll watching.

    Past sense remember?  He was put in stasis like the rest of them then awoken to save that rebel annoying girl (Kate) that died anyway!

    I sort of like how they gave the secret away in the first season but it takes away from the twist, I mean really where can it go from here that's original?

    Walking Dead is another one that's got me, i'm reading the comics at the moment too.  Fear the walking dead SUCKS.

    Breaking bad was good and Better call Saul is great also.

    Told you, watch too much TV, and do not get me started of video games, that's an even worse addiction!

    I've been a fan of most of what HBO have put out since Oz and of course the Sopranos. 

    But Game of Thrones takes the cake. Best show ever assuming it doesn't go downhill the [censored] up the ending. 

    I love the villains in most things, but Joffrey is my all time favourite character, such a little [censored]. Jack Gleeson does a brilliant job. 

    Love me some Ramsay Snow too.

     

     

     

    *****SPOILER ALERT****

     

     

     

     

     

    The [censored] Hound is back! My other favourite character. 

    The last 2 eps were crackers.

    It was great having a public holiday last Monday so that I could watch the show early.

    I hope the whole High Sparrow storyline wraps up soon, I don't really enjoy that storyline. Ramsay has been too quiet lately, assuming something epic will happen to him soon. Great replacement Joffrey.

    How good are the hound and Bron ?

    It's definitely good to see more of them again. With the Hound I had been saying I won't believe any characters are dead in this show unless I see them die on camera (not including those who get resurrected). That also being said, there's a few who are less likely to return, in that it would take away suspense if some of the ones who are implied to be killed off screen all actually survived every single time. Eg. Stannis.

    here is my conspiracy theory - have you ever seen Stannis Baratheon and Daniel Cross in the same room ? Have you ? have you ? hmmmm.....

    Bronn is a pissa, the dialogue between him and Tyrion and now him and Jamie are also quite entertaining.

    Great to have the Hound back, and for Arya to escape the many faced god.  Wonder if they will team up again!?

    Hating Sansa at the moment, acting like she is some big shot, making Jon look bad!

    And what about the Greyjoys taking the Iron fleet to Essos to help the Mother of Dragons!?

    Sansa reminds me of the current crop of pollies we have in this country  - full of self importance but when you dissect what they actually say  - you think to yourself  "WTF???"

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
