So I may not be watching HBO's Game of Thrones anymore until the next book comes out, but here's a topic I thought might be worth discussion: the ratings.  For whatever reason, I am fascinated by tracking the ratings to GoT.  Even though I'm not watching the show for the moment, that trend has continued ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who responded to my last post.  However many people commented it's pretty resonable to assume even more didn't, so it's safe to say people are still reading my LiveJournal.  So with that in mind, I'll keep this place going.  I'll have to give some thought about what to blog about since as I said there is little happening at the ( Read more... )

So I've recently found myself wondering what I should do with this space.  In the past I've used it to discuss my work at Realms of Fantasy, to post my RoF Retrospectives, to discuss my writing, to discuss my other editorial work, and also to obsessively compare and contrast HBO's Game of Thrones to the original books.  There have been other things ( Read more... )

As expected and predicted, I was not able to jump back into HBO's Game of Thrones this week.  Based on the feedback I've received on Facebook the threat of spoilers for future books is too great to ignore.  Some people have rationalized to me that maybe these aren't spoilers so maybe I can keep watching.  The key word here is "maybe."  Maybe isn't ( Read more... )

Welcome to what in all likelihood will be my final writeup on HBO's Game of Thrones. I'm about 90% sure we've reached the point where I'm going to need to stop watching due to fear of spoilers in the unpublished books.  As I've been doing since this season started, I didn't watch the episodes when it aired.  Instead, I recorded it on my trusty DVR ( Read more... )

Well I managed to squeeze out another episode this season before I have to stop watching due to spoilers for future books, but as is the case every week now I'm no longer certain how much longer I can stick with the show.  As always, spoiler warnings remain effect for all officially released materials for the books and the show, and once again, if ( Read more... )

Another week and I'm happy to say I got to watch another episode of HBO's Game of Thrones, though I can almost feel the clock winding down, forcing me to stop watching due to spoilers for the unpublished books.  As with last week's episode, I had to do some mental gymnastics following the end of the episode as I tried to decide whether I could keep ( Read more... )

I am once again a guest geek on this week's episode of Wired.com's Geek's Guide to the Galaxy, hosted by David Barr Kirtley. This week's topic is Game of Thrones spoilers.  You can listen here.

So as I've already said, we're taking things from episode to episode this season.  I'll be recording each episode but not watching it as it airs.  Afterward I'll be checking in on Facebook to learn whether there are spoilers for future books.  If the answer is yes or maybe then I stop watching until I read the next book ( Read more... )

So over the years I've accrued what I would deem a small but loyal following concerning my writeups for each new episode of HBO's Game of Thrones.  There were some years where I worried I might too busy to do said writeups, but I always found a way to make time for them ( Read more... )
