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

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*

Yes, this. I can't imagine I'll get attached to any of the new characters at this point because I know there's no guarantee of safety. Those characters I already love though ... now I'm on pins and needles for them.
