I'm hoping Game Of Thrones is good because basically since 10pm last Thursday nothing has gone well!

Arguably the best episode ever. Not your standard season ender.

The music in the show this week is phenomenal.

Amazing that that episode is one of the best movies I've seen in years.

At the end of every scene for about the last 20 minutes I kept thinking that the credits were going to appear, only for another awesome scene to follow!

I normally don't pay much attention to the music in anything, but I really noticed it this week and it was superb.

Here is the track. Terrific piece of music:

SPOILERS FOR GOT.

Do not read if you haven't seen the most recent episode.

Hard to know where we're left now. As Jon says the real war is with the dead in the north.

In terms of the rest of the actors, Dany looks to be in by far the strongest position. Even without the dragons her army probably dwarfs anyone else. The dragons will also be the best bet against the dead you would think.

Cersei, what cards does she have left to play? Lure people into Kings Landing and blow the rest of it up? Same for the north, their armies must be decimated at this point. They could probably hold off the south if they took the Twins but to what end?

I'm waiting for some disaster to befall Dany. Euron to attack them, or a storm to sink half the fleet, or something else cheap that comes out of the blue.

The last two episodes have been quite superb.

GoT Episode 10

I imagine Cersei will become a tyrant ruler. She lived only for her children, her one redeeming factor, and now they're gone. The parallels are there with the Mad King, Cersei 'burned them all' to dispose of her enemies.

I see basically no difference with her being named Queen now and when she wasn't (the bit where she was in prison aside), because for a long time now she has been making all the major decisions in Kings Landing anyway. She didn't need to be Queen to blow up the Sept, etc.

And since she cause they death of their son, I'd imagine Jaime isn't exactly delighted with her anymore either. How strong are the Lannisters now anyway?

Well I went to Brighton for a gig yesterday. St Paul & The Broken Bones. I've seen some good acts before but these guys were truly amazing. Mind totally blown.

Saw them on BBC's Glastonbury coverage over the weekend. Singer looks a bit like a chubby Alan Carr. Good voice.

They're very good. Very strong debut album. Sound blokes as well

He has a really good voice. Few of the videos I've seen of them do them justice from a live perspective.

New album out in September apparently. Found them on OurVinyl a couple of years ago so was a fan of the music, but they really are a live band primarily.

I've seen them a couple of times now, they're extremely good live, they also change their set around a lot which makes it very enjoyable

Never heard of them.

They sound very hipster, must be why molloy likes them so much.

The last few posts do have a "I knew them before they were famous" vibe to them

Well they wouldn't have appeared on the X-Factor so I wouldn't expect you to know them.

They gave me a lift across a festival on a golf buggy 2 summers ago, so theyre sound. Never mind them hipsters, they'll hate them in a few months when their 2nd album goes mainstream

Have they ever been on top of the pops?

.ak said he saw them play an acoustic set in a jungle in borneo. There was 6 there. Him, 2 norwegians, a Dutch ornithologist and 2 orangutans. Reckoned they were a bit mainstream.

Nah it was DOC and his equally orange brother, that's why ak thought they were orangutans

Four minutes until the second English exit from Europe in a week.

Some achievement if they pull this off.
