Excellent!   8)  

I know they film some of the locations at the studios in the docks over there, do you see any of the cast wandering about?

I didnt take the picture, it was via Tourisn Ireland. Though I have been to all the places they film at  long before they became filming  locations

Like I'm not going to now you've warned me not to.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Some of the guys in Studio spotted Jamie Lannister the other day on Botanic Avenue, and I've heard several people say they saw Tyrion Lannister about; supposedly he has a house on the Malone Road somewhere (that's the swanky end of town).

PS I am aware those are the character's names; I'm not Snoop Dog.

OK, spoilers sweetie...



Big GoT fan me. 

This season's been lacklustre though.  :(

They've killed off most of the interesting characters, and the season has been reduced to three main characters/narrative strands, interspersed with deathly slow and dull secondary stuff, and the introduction of disappointingly poor new stuff (the religious thing in King's Landing, the Sand Snakes of Dorn, etc.)

Last episode perked up a bit.  Sure the awesome cool stuff the giants and zombies was good (although they wasted some excellent Wilding characters...grrr....), but the highlight for me was the LONG awaited meeting between Tyrion and Danaerys...exceptional.  I could have watched and hour of that conversational sparring alone.

GoT is in danger of losing its way in my opinion.  It needs to get back on track.  A good start would be to stop all that religious guff in King's Landing for a start, stop Stannis being so ruddy dull, and get Danaerys of her (admittedly perfect) behind and into the fight.  If she released her dragons and marries Tyrion too that would be just peachy...

Same for me, it certainly took a while to get going.  I've not read the books though, and from reading some online opinions, book 5 of the series really drags along as well.  The show writers seem to have cut a lot of the more meandering storylines out to try and keep things on track, which can only be a good thing. 

Tyrion and Daenarys was fantastic, I'm going to enjoy watching that one progress.  There's some interesting fan theories on what happens with those two + AN Other and those rarely seen flying lizards...   :-\

In the books it takes a dog's age to get anywhere in book 5. Really wanted it to be over...
