Valar Hiatus: The Game of Thrones offseason thread

I watched that, and then kept watching the Cookie Monster videos that followed, as well as the Grover vidios, and was delighted to discover that Sesame Street is still as awesome as it was when I was watching it as a child in the early 1970s.

Okay…this beats them all.

I sure hope they put up a gazillion spoiler warnings before they played that!

Surprised “Tywan” wasn’t killed by “J’Dinkalage”.

Drogo is totally Big Dave Novarro.

Woohoo, the new season starts Sunday! Here’s a preview from the Plain Dealer, with some info on GRRM and the next book, too. Ignore the misspellings of several character names: 'Game of Thrones' - Anticipation continues to build for Season 5 premiere - cleveland.com

“Was it the child murder stuff?”

Ha!

The Atlantic praises the first few episodes of the new season (warning: some spoilers): With Season Five, HBO's 'Game of Thrones' Transcends the Failings of the Books - The Atlantic

The first few episodes (3-4) have leaked.

The web is dark and full of spoilers.

Time to fire this up for the next season, I guess. It’s gonna be a looooong wait.

In the meantime, here’s the actress who plays Brienne of Tarth, partying in London: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3135328/Statuesque-beauty-Gwendoline-Christie-towers-diminutive-Jessica-Chastain.html

Whoa, 6’ 3"? That makes her two inches taller than Floor Jansen, lead singer of Nightwish:

(Floor is the woman in that pic, of course; otherwise the comparison would be silly :stuck_out_tongue: Male fans are jealous of Emppu, the guitarist (second from right), because his face is right at boob-height.)

Another theory on who is The Prince That Was Promised. Not sure I buy it, but it’s certainly entertainingly presented: Film Theory: The Game of Thrones Jorah Theory - YouTube

I can’t watch youtube at work, what’s the short version?

Okay, this was, erm, something cough: Maisie Williams on some YouTuber’s show:

It’s Jorah Mormont.

How do I tell my friend I like her boyfriend?
Maisie: You don’t, bitch.

Yeah, that was a great line :smiley:

These Sesame Street parodies are, as far as I know, uploaded straight to the Internet. Sort of a side project of Jim Henson Corp. Like these:

Sons of Poetry

House of Bricks

Definitely aimed an an adult audience.

But I did come across this video of Peter Dinklage singing with Muppets:

Simon Says

Looks like Harington was being a filthy liar when he said he’s not coming back for S6. He was spotted heading back to Belfast on the same plane as the actor who plays Jaqen H’ghar. Not 100% proof, but pretty strong evidence for Jon being alive.
