Saw X-Men First Class. It was a first class movie. I turned to J about half-way through and said, this is an AWESOME origins story.

Finished the novel Game of Thrones

I never expected them to kill Ned. Ever. I figured he would be on the wall with Jon. I knew Drogo was going to die but I thought it be in book four or five. I figured Danni would hatch those dragon eggs, but again book four or five.

I've been thinking all along that Jon was Robert's son by Lyanna. Now I guess we'll never know?

I *hated* Catelyn at the beginning. Despised her for how she treated Jon and how weak she was regarding Brannon. I don't feel that way anymore and I am ever so glad.

I'm worried about Arya. I don't want her trapped in the city eating that brown mess. I want her free in the woods with Nymeria [please someone tell me she gets her direwolf back? except don't because I don't want to be spoiled]

Just excellent all the way around I've already started book 2.

I'm kind of hoping the tv show doesn't kill Ned. I want Sean on my tv screen.

that is all

Re-read that scene at the Tower of Joy where Ned takes on Ser Arthur Dayne. Pay very careful attention to what they say and ask yourself why the Kingsguard would be at the Tower of Joy and what motive would they have to stop Ned Stark from entering even though that's his sister in there.

There is one other person who knows the truth of what happened there. Howland Reed.

The motto for this series should be "expect the unexpected."

Yeah, poor Ned. He kinda has to die, because his death sets up a WHOLE bunch of shit for the later books, but I wept like a baby when I read the first book. And honestly, I was never able to completely get emotionally attached to any of the other characters because I figured if GRRM could kill off Ned, then no one was safe, so I wasn't going to invest in them.

And, there is a lot of speculation on Jon's parentage, but there are a lot of us that agree on a particular line of thought regarding it. *g*

I liked X-Men: First Class a LOT. Better than any of the other X-Men movies....the only thing I didn't like was the portrayal of Emma Frost. I don't feel they made her bitchy enough. Plus, the woman they got to play her didn't have that hardness to her voice that I always felt Emma should have.

*studiously ignoring the Game of Thrones part of the post as I haven't read, but am watching the show*

*smooches*

I agree, X-Men was a lot of fun, and emotionally satisfying, too! When our group looked up the Canon afterwards we were all, "wow, the movie did that better, waaay better". :D
