Enjoy the books, Steelie, they are good reading.

When Doug comes over at the end of May we will be taking them to see some of the places in Northumbria where bits of the filming was done.

We watched the last episode of GoT season 6 last Sunday, and it has been getting better with each episode. At least we have 'The Last Kingdom' to keep us going for a while until the last season of GoT is televised.

GoT is going to get a longer last season, 13 episodes.  Unfortunately, the 13 episodes will be parceled out as follows: 7 episodes starting around June of this year and 6 more in 2018 on an undetermined date.

Season six just blew me away. It was everything a long-suffering-waiting-on-GRRM-to-finish-the-next-book-and-please-dont-die-first fanboy could have wished for   \m/

I've enjoyed all the seasons.  I am not so die hard that any changes from the books the show made tore me up (like LotR & its movies).  I think Benioff and Weiss have done a fabulous job.  And I just found the release date for later this year:  July 16.

They have done a wonderful job in bringing a great fantasy series to life. And I agree about the changes not bothering me. In fact, I think quite a few of them have been improvements, especially in later seasons, where they streamlined plot lines where Martin wandered in the books. And the casting has been top-notch all along.

All in all, a modern classic.

I just got a notice from Netflix that season 2 is now available to watch. Good Times!  :bd:

Just quickly chiming in - Game of Thrones the Battle of the Bastards is probably the best TV battle in any era that I have ever seen. Even The Wife was like 'COR'BLIMEY' and such.

I just started Season 1 of The Last Kingdom and so far I am very, very pleased! Time to order Book 5 while I'm thinking about it.

I just finished watching Season Two and it was every bit the equal of Season 1. Come on you Brits. You need to churn this stuff more quickly.  O0

Let's hope they don't push it to be more PC in the future.

After a certain infamous worldwide political agitator & propagandist bought a huge $13.5 Million lump of Netflix shares, becoming a leading shareholder, I'd be even more wary of PC content being pushed there in the future.  :knuppel2:
