I admit I’m taking a certain amount of glee from watching the horror of the Red Wedding unfold across my Facebook page (mostly Facebook; in other places the geek quotient is higher and more people knew what was coming). Bahahaha. :)

The Red Wedding?

Ah, I did wonder what the sharp intake of breath was all about. We're horrendously years behind on watching, having watched one or two episodes of our Series 1 boxed set. (We have series 2 on DVD too, since our chances of catching up to real time on the broadcasts are rather low.)

I'll admit. I haven't read the books. I can put up with a lot more blood, violence, and sex from something I watch than something I read. That said, I'm pretty good at reading plot lines. I randomly decided to watch Sunday's episode on Monday despite having missed the previous four. Yeah, it was a bit epic.

My thoughts about the casting of 12 are pretty much in line with yours.
