Book or Show?


For those of you who don't know I HEART Game of Thrones. It took me a while to watch it as season one episode nine got spoiled for me before the air date and I was that annoyed I held off until a few months before season four. It also introduced me to the book series A Song of Ice and Fire which I started reading between seasons four and five. I also love the books as much as the show (if not more because novels are always better). So with season 6 fast approaching and some fans following Kit Harrington's every move, I'm starting to get pretty worried about the Book or Show debacle in which I am apparently going to find myself.

Now I'm not complaining, George take as long as you want, you took your time on A Dance with Dragons and that book was great, keep doing what you're doing. Dan and Dave you guys have a network to keep happy and a world full of fans of the show who need to know what happened so also keep doing what you're doing.

This is at it's core about me, as I don't know what to do. The book has a clear 2016 release date, the only problem is the show will be back April 2016, so if the book comes out first this is all null and void. But if it doesn't I will find myself conflicted, I love them both, no matter what I do I am spoiling something I enjoy.

The show helped me have a better insight when reading the novels, snakes in her hair prophecy jumped out the page at me as I knew why due to the TV show. Although the show did make me neglect the ironborn storyline which I wouldn't have done if I'd looked at it with a fresh pair of eyes.

The books helped me understand why these characters are the way they are.We get to read their thoughts which is always great, unless there thinking something gross then it's weird. It even made me feel sorry for Cersei, until she decided she wanted to kill everyone. It was all for nothing. I also love nothing more than a great book I can sink my teeth into, and I'm just a book person but I'm just as much of a TV person.

I do really want to read Winds of Winter first but in the age of social media coupled with the fact that anytime anything happens on Game of Thrones it appears at the very top of my newsfeed I'm going to have to watch the show. If this scenario hits (I'm not saying it will, I hope it won't) it will get spoiled either way. Unless I stay off the internet, nah never gonna happen.

 THE NIGHT IS DARK AND FULL OF TERRORS!

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

SPOILERS, as always for those who haven't watched season one.  So everyone's favorite Blind(ish) Superhero is back in a new trailer. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is feeling guilty, maybe for the death of Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) last season, maybe for something completely different. Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) tells Matt that guilt can be a good, although Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Henson) also look plenty guilty in this teaser trailer. We then see a bunch of clips including Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) in her nurse scrubs, and Elektra (Elodie Yung) getting her mask on, all while hearing a voice over from Father Lantom who indicates that it may be because Matt's work as Daredevil is not yet finished. We then see Karen Page holding a Punisher skull on a x-ray and looking pretty freaked out by it. Then comes what I am most looking forward to, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is here, in a hospital (watch out Claire) and looking pretty bad ass if I do...

Agents of Shield: Devils You Know

Better the devil you know, woooohoooo.. sorry I was channeling my Kylie Minogue there, apologies. Episode four of the third season was filled with it's usual twists and turns. Being a Marvel fanboy, well girl (is fangirl a thing?), I love everything those folks throw at me, even if it isn't the best I can't seem to take these damn goggles off. SPOILERS ARE COMING! Lets dive right in shall we? Ok so the episode starts with a couple cooking dinner, the woman asks about chicken (tell me about it, cooking the stuff does my head in) and the next thing we know there is a knock at the door. In comes Alisha (Alicia Vela-Bailey), you remember her as she has similar abilities to that of Multiple Man from the X-Men's worst film and the comics. We find out this couple are pre fish oil inhumans, and Alisha warns them of a danger facing all inhumans. The couple tell her of an email they received and then comes in the big bad, Lash (Matthew Willig) and he murders all three of the...
