Very cool Lego rendering of King's Landing. It's amazing what these AFOLs can do with Lego.

Finished Season 1 today. Wow. They translated the book to the screen incredibly well. I have one complaint.

Wow. Just checked in on my pre-order of the Season 1 blu-ray set @ Amazon and noticed the price is down to $35 ($45 off!). Anyone that hasn't ordered it yet might want to jump on that.

I skipped Game of Thrones because I wanted to go right to Clash of Kings. I now Know I missed quite a bit of back stories you can't get in direct dialogue. Oh Well.

About a third of the way through Dance with Dragons, so much better than the mostly garbage of Feast For Crows. Not to get too much into spoilers, the characters just didn't interest me. Dance with Dragons though is making up for it.

And I can't wait to get to this guy:
Spoiler:
Robert Strong. I need to stop googling people in these books but somehow I knew that one maester was doing a monster when he said he used all of that one ladies organs up.

Well I am a complete moron...
Spoiler:
Theon is Reek. It took me a long time to realize that. Even though when he's brought up from the Dungeon someone asks if that is Theon but I thought Theon was also in the room with Reek. Makes sense now why taking Moat Calin was so easy.

Finally finished Dance With Dragons
Spoiler:
I was convinced Quentin Martell and Aegon would be the other two riders. Quentin is obvisously out. If the rumors of Jon being Rheagar and Lyanna's son are true he could be the other provided he is brought back to life by Melisandre which would also free him of his vows since he technically died.

Either Mance sent the letter or Ramsay is lying his butt off.

Where has Varys been all this time? I powdered white unich can't be easy to hide.
