I thought that I was going to be able to finally post the itinerary for our UK Trip a week ago, but a last minute change left us scrambling to adapt... however, said enforced change is of the most wonderful kind. When we went to book our tickets for the Harry

It is really packed and to be honest, it's more of an ideal kind of thing. It's entirely possible that we may not have time to do everything on there if we run into any kind of delays. But, in a perfect world where we get up early and don't hit any unforeseen snags, that is what we would like to accomplish. I'm not worried about the physical part of it - as you say, we're all in really good shape - but the time management part of it could be a problem. Whatever we get to do will be awesome.

I've watched it twice as well! It's just so amazing. They nailed every aspect of it so perfectly that it makes me love the show runners forever. As you say, it's not that the show doesn't have it's faults (Agree 100% about Stannis and John Snow. Jesus, have they short-changed the latter's storyline... and I could do without Ros the Sexposition Whore taking up so much screen time), but the weak stuff is balanced by stuff that kicks so much ass that you can forgive them. Sometimes, it's even an improvement over the books - the ladies Tyrell are far more dynamic on screen than on the page, imo.

Heh, I'm a total Jaime apologist. I know he threw a boy out of a window and all and he loves his sister a lot too much, but he also has some solid seeds of goodness in there too which start to grow as soon as he's away from him horrid family. He's one of the most grey characters I've encountered and I love him for it. That said, Brienne was totally right.

Unfortunately, Bran is another character who bores me so my sympathy beyond the abstract is limited. It's not his fault. That storyline was always going to be hard to adapt since it wasn't especially riveting in the books and at times downright weird. At times, it gets downright weird. But... did you know he's crippled?? Did you know he has a thing with a three headed crow??? Cause, that's really all they've communicated in two seasons.

Fair enough on Jaime's puffed up sense of crazy... I blame Tywin. Because that's the hardest hard ass to ever come down the pike.

Someone already did it! I told Amy that I didn't think anything could fill the void left by the absence of Dowager's Violet's snark, and here comes Olenna with not only the snark, but the dirty philosophy as well! So much love. X-D
