Season 1, episode 3

So I'm a girl and a daddy's girl at that! So sweet that poppa hired a sword instructor for his daughter. Obviously we are all in the loop that his son was pushed but why did the wife need to travel, couldn't she have sent a note?

Kaleesi? Blonde and 1/2 Horse are pregnant? Admittedly I'm loving this show because it moves quickly and I can keep up without growing bored.

Don't persecute me but I love Midget man and Bastard son and that compassion and or patience is being taught.

I'm not sure how analytical I'll be but I'm trying to endure and put my thoughts into words as I watch.

Recap season 1, episodes 1 & 2

So admittedly I'm about to sit down and watch the Season 1, Episode 3 but before I take the venture I need to recap the first two episodes.

First, for anyone that knows me sitting still to watch television can be a difficult challenge.  I use TV like most people use the radio wherein it's always on but I can't guarantee I'm sitting still.  Although we have already ruled out I'm not exactly active I do have nail polishing, online shopping, email reading that can keep me busy.  All this leads to my need for sound and voices and dialogue so let's remember that the first 10 minutes of the first episode is background sounds and pictures and music and oh, murder and dead people.  Anywho, it then gets a bit crazy and here are the things I need to discuss as they stuck out.

He caught the brother and the sister having sex!!! and she's the queen.  And then I knew it, but the brother pushed the kid out of the window, who does that, I felt it coming my heart started to beat faster and ugh he did it.  I'm thankful the kid lived and then I'm super stoked that when they tried to kill him again the wolf ate the bad guy however then they killed a wolf for defending the young girl.

And ohhhh, how can a sister lie as she did.  The butcher's son is dead and now so is the pet wolf?  Not to mention that little shit prince looks just like the bad kid in the Harry Potter movies and I can't remember his name for the life of me, I could google challenge him but I'm feeling lazy and antsy about watching the next episode.

I'm impressed that the King kept the "Bastard" son and believe this will be an interesting development.

So, blonde girl and boy whom are trying to take back the kingdom?  The Blonde "Prince" or should be King basically sells off his sister to that huge man whom at first glance I thought was the half man half horse, until of course he turned the horse to the side.

So let me tell you what I have deduced from these first two episodes.

Being a woman sucked, metaphorically and literally!  They did not value human life in the slightest.  The blonde girl is really pretty and I'm feeling that she is very smart.  And, the twisted sister love fest has a deeper story.

The method to my madness

In an act of great defiance against Cable and the massive bill I incurred monthly I opted to disconnect and live on Internet TV in January of 2013.  I was moving into a new world where I would spend less time in front of the boob tube watching Showtime, HBO and DVR in the wonderful world of HD.  I would instead spend time riding bikes, walking the dog, reading and for artsy purposes scrapbooking and quilting (or some shit like that).

To save myself even greater financial pains I invested in 2 Roku's AND Apple TV so that my televisions themselves would not go to waste.  I also purchased HULU, Netflix, Amazon Prime and have managed to convince my friends that borrowing their HBO Go passwords would endear me to them for life!

Due to the pains of having limited viewing pleasure (insert eye roll and exasperated sigh here) I seek out new shows to spend hours of my existence watching.... episodes and seasons.... back to back. 

Admittedly, living in Arizona, 80 degrees on the couch is preferred to 108 in the blistering sun.  With all my justifications aside, I am feeling far less guilty in my boob tubing.

Anywho, let's begin.

Game of Thrones.  These are the words I repeatedly here on Monday mornings as I enter my great workplace.  Have I seen it, oh my god, last nights episode was amazing, I can't believe it!  My previous complaints about "Game of Thrones" was too many characters and all kinds of weird names which makes it really hard to follow.  Yeah, I said it, darn confusing and I couldn't suffer through another Lord of the Rings.  Okay, now that I've thoroughly irritated most let me remind you that I am a girl and my favorite movie of all time is The Goonies.  With this bit of knowledge please compare to the complexity of Game of Thrones and cut me some slack.

So, let's return to the point at hand, which is I'm spending more time than ever before watching bad Television and I needed a new show.  Season 3, final episode, or one of the last episodes of Game of Thrones just happened and the viewers at my work place were literally flipping the fuck out!  And I quote, Katie you have got to watch this show!

With nothing better to do then start yet another monotonous task of watching multiple seasons and multiple episodes I am embarking on The Game of Thrones journey.  I'm also going to blog about it so hope you enjoy!
