Queen Elizabeth Is Apparently a ‘Game of Thrones’ Fan

It seems everyone loves the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” – even real-life royalty.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth toured the show’s sets during a three-day trip to Belfast, Ireland.

The 88-year-old monarch met many of the show’s stars on Tuesday, including Lena Headey, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, beside the show’s sword-covered seat of power, the Iron Throne. No word on how it compared to the one at her house.

Yep - I just thought it was too coincidental that a Faceless Man would be in the back of a prisoner cart from the King’s Landing dungeons, shortly after Syrio fought the guards. Yoren was collecting criminals from the dungeon’s to bring to the wall...I can’t imagine Jaquen would have ever been stupid enough to be taken prisoner in the first place.

“garden scenes”.. lol

I did not notice that the Hound was foul mouth. I only know he acted heroically with Sansa in two different occasions. And with Arya, he treated her with affection and caring. He was naturally a protective man and that appealed to me and despite his rough edges and that he wanted Arya,so he could get a reward, he was one of the few characters in GoT that when he died, I wished the story could have changed.

What a great actor to boot! I hope he gets more roles in the future that showcase his talent.

Her habitually blank, befuddled bewilderment annoys me no end.

I have no problem if she’s the next ‘shocking death’.

Even her plotline is mind-numbingly dull.

Every other woman on the show either has or is in the process of seizing her own innate power and strength, spurred on by relentless adversities.

Sansa is carried along limply on the tides of outrageous fortune, much like a an empty candy wrapper in a storm drain.

Even her “rage” at the brutal deaths of 96% of her family has failed to light a righteously vocal fire under her insipid arse.

She is content to demurely, *inwardly* seethe.

I find her tedious.

I also have a horrible feeling that, somehow, she’s going to wind up the last one standing.

LOL he said the C word a couple times, the F word a couple times, called Brienne the B word. Anyways, I also loved how he acted chivalrous towards Sansa and also how he cared for Arya but didn’t like to let it show. Since the show writers aren’t sticking conclusively with the book material who knows? Maybe there WAS a maester hiding behind one of the bushes and Hound returns wounded, but alive next season:)

LOL...I agree 100%. She’s simply vapid.

All her life, she just wanted to be a storybook princess, which is why she never did more than cry at her family members’ deaths. Her loyalty was divided between her family and wanting to live ‘happily ever after’ with her sweet Prince Joffrey.

I watch Korean dramas and when the writers change the ending because they become attached to a character, they call that “fan service.”

I say The Hound is given Harrenhal (without checking, isn’t that in the possession of the creepy Boltons?) because of his valor and fealty to the Stark girls. ( Assuming that the Stark’s gain the Iron Throne and, that is if Jon is found to be both a Targaryen and a trueborn Stark.)

Way too late now, but just came across your comment in this thread.

Arya did take the Hound’s money from him as he lay ‘dying’, indeed. The whole point of this was that she’s learnt from him, and to an extent, has become what he taught her to be. In a previous episode in the series, when she berates him for stealing silver from an old farmer who had fed them and taken them in, he turns to her and says: ‘he’s old, he’s weak, he won’t survive the winter. Dead men don’t need silver.’

That ‘dead men don’t need silver’ comment is precisely the point Arya is making when she takes his purse and leaves him to die.
