    If I was an avid book reader I think I'd be kinda passed off that the TV show got to show how Hodor started saying that. Also if that was the way GRR intended it to be that is some serious forward planning

    Apparently a brother of one of the guys who blew himself up in Brussels earlier this year is going to be representing Belgium at the Olympics. I saw a story about it the other day saying he'd reached qualifying standard along with a few others but a decision was yet to be made on who would actually go. There's another story from today though saying that he's in the squad.

    Bit of a strange one. I suppose you can't punish him for his brother's actions.

    Well we know now that Bran has unique powers to blend past and present. Very intriguing where he goes from here.

    The TV show has been pretty different to the books for ages now. It started off following them in the first few seasons but then I think they realised it would be way too expensive to make a TV show that followed the book storylines the whole way through. There has been huge chunks of book material just left out and entire characters omitted that would provide some of the best plot twists in the entire series.

    Seriously debatable. The prison cell scene surely #1?

    Those characters were so awful that it took away from it. I like my boobs to have more substance.

    You should, definitely. If you like boobs all the more reason to!

    GoT Q:
    Where is Bronn? No sign of him this season, IIRC he would have been in the boat back to King's Landing when Marcella died?

    Fair play to him. It would be a horrible burden for him to carry. This guy is an example of someone who has been able to integrate, his brother is obviously the polar opposite. Amazing when you think of it.

    Judging by the posts tonight's episode of GoT will be unmissable.

    BTW is anyone watching Billions?

    Great boobs in it bilston. But in case you don't like boobs there's also a hard cut to a close up of a wart infested penis.

    I can't stand your man in that, the ginger lad from Homeland. I genuinely want to punch my TV every time the ad comes on Sky for it.

    Damian Lewis?

    Why so?

    He is in two of my favourite shows Band of Brothers and Homeland. Admittedly Homeland has been a hell of a lot better since he left.

    Still Billions is shaping up to be great show.

    Something for everyone then.

    I just hated him on Homeland. First season was okay but after that he pissed me off. His noisy breathing could drive me to murder!

    I remember him on BoB and he didn't bother me then. He was in a thing the BBC did ages ago called Warriors about UK peace keepers in Bosnia. It was really good too and he wasn't annoying in it. I don't know, maybe it was the character on Homeland, and his stupid daughter... and the noisy breathing.

    Katie Taylor qualified for Rio there. I'd say there's a lot of marketing people and sponsors very relieved this afternoon.

    If I never hear her speak again it will be too soon.
