'Game Of Thrones' Season 3 Finale: Episode 10 "Inside" Mhysa RECAP (VIDEO) SPOILERS #gameofthrones

It was difficult to not have lower-than-normal expectations for Game Of Thrones' season 3 finale, and the ratings slip seems to validate that assumption

Jon Snow is carried 'home' to the Wall and Jaime Lannister completes his journey home to  the (slight surprise?) of his sister, Cersei.

 When critiquing the television adaption of Book 3 in the A Song Of Ice and Fire series, " (A Storm Of Swords) it ia probably good to keep in mind that it is being split into two parts in HBO's, "A Game Of Thrones". There was a single ending to book 3--or at least a single ending for each character with a POV and there will be at least two in the TV tale.

In season 3 of Game Of Thrones finale, we are stopping before the actual finale, so some threads are not hanging, some are. It's just not quite hit every note it needs to, roughly two- thirds of the way the book version.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In an otherwise pretty heavy episode it was nice to see, in episode 3.10, newlyweds Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and Sansa Stark Lannister (Sophie Turner) chatting amiably and casually joking. In this snippet, the joke is on Sansa (though she doesn't get it).

They DID go there.

Book readers knew there was no avoiding the Red Wedding and we were dreading it something fierce. 

But, it seemed like by the end of episode 9 (last week's ''The Rains Of Castamere') we'd blown right past it after a fair amount of gore and suffering. Arya was barely stopped by the Hound, who had gone ahead of her and witnessed the slaughter of the Red Wedding feast. He said, "We are too late," Arya refused to listen and tried to make a break for it so the Hound clonked her over the head with a rock and scooped her up with him, galloping off to try to find safety.

Robb and his direwolf, Grey Wind's body were mutilated after the Red Wedding Massacre. Robb's head was cut from his dead shoulders and Grey Wind's head treated in the same fashion. The direwolve's head was then roughly sewn on Robb's body, which was mounted atop a horse: This is how it went for Robb, his direwolf, Arya and The Hound:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(via were-cursed)

Oh hell no! Arya's already convinced that her true god is Death. It started when her father Ned Stark, was unjustly beheaded in front of her.

Now she gets a face full of both Robb's headless body and Grey Wind's giant dead head. Holy crap! She has zero chance of turing out human now!  Thank George R.R. Martin for tweaking the televised version of this scene to the point of exploitation. <Grrr. Pandering to the lowest common denominator.>

Finally, let's take a look at the breakup of Jon Snow and the girl with Hair Kissed by Fire, Ygritte. Turned out to be a very painful, messy split.

How Much Blood Will Spill At Game Of Thrones Red Wedding?

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - 'The Rains of Castamere'. Here Jon (Kit Harington) makes a game-changing choice, one from which there is no going back. (Cr: HBO)

 

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere

Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride. Jon faces his harshest test yet. Bran discovers a new gift. Daario and Jorah debate how to take Yunkai. House Frey joins with House Tully.

(Written by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss; directed by David Nutter.)

Note: Premieres JUNE 2 (There is a two-week gap between episodes 308 and 309 due to American Memorial Day weekend.)

I love how vague the HBO episode descriptions are. They certainly do a fine job of teasing what might happen (See--Episode 308: 'Sam and Gilly meet an older gentleman,' which translated to the screen as, 'Sam and Gilly are attacked by a white walker intent on taking Gilly's baby son'. So take the Game Of Thrones Episode 309 'The Rains of Castamere,' description as if it were on par in detail with 'an older gentleman' equaling 'a white walker'.

Let's break it down a bit.

First of all, the episode title alludes to the true story that Cersei (Lena Headey) regaled Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) with at Tyrion's (Peter Dinklage) and Sansa's (Sophie Turner) forced wedding, just before Cersei threatened to have Joffery's (Jack Gleeson) bride-to-be 'strangled in (her) sleep', should she ever refer to Cersei as 'sister' again.

Recounting the Rains of Castamere must have gotten Cersei's bloodlust aroused. It is also your clue about the upcoming GoT episode which airs after a 2-week hiatus, due to the American summer holiday weekend.

There will be blood--plenty of it after 'Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride.' BOOK SPOILER. Keep in mind that in the TV show Robb Stark plans to ally with the Freys after breaking his promise to wed a Frey daughter. Walder Frey has no intention at all of making peace, quite the opposite is planned in a manner which is beyond Frey's capacity. Frey has joined with another force entirely.

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere (Cr: HBO)

The question isn't 'Will Robb (Richard Madden) survive', but will his wife and unborn child? If GRRM had written this episode I'd expect poor Talisa (Oona Chaplin) to get a knife or arrow to the gut. The penultimate Episode 309 was written however, by the guys that are adapting this behemoth for television, David Benioff & D. B. Weiss, so I'm hoping that with all the carnage, they might have chosen to let Talisa live.

The allusion to Bran discovering 'a new gift' sounds like it is taken from this photo set:

 

If you recall, Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) is a 'warg'--a human who can see through the eyes of an animal. Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere (Cr: HBO)

It appears that Bran and Co. have made it to a point on the Wall. Bran is obviously having a vision but of what? His brother Jon and the wildlings? The Red Wedding? Danger in the form of a white walker?

Game Of Thrones - Inside Episode 8 (Cr: HBO)

Joffery (Jack Gleeson) insists that Sansa (Sophie Turner) be stripped and carried off to the wedding bed. A drunken Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) objects to this final insult to the massive injury he and Sansa have suffered at his father's hands. Tyrion threatens the King who is practically speechless because ya know, no one does that to the grand royal sociopath and lives--but grandpa Tywin (Charles Dance) comes to the rescue, explaining that he is sure that Tyrion meant the 'threat' as a joke. Tyrion isn't that drunk so he plays along as being even more soused, forcing a laugh and belittling his own male attributes.

 

(via whatisnedmayneverdie)

After a rather long-winded, vaguely threatening recounting by Cersei (Lena Headey) to Margaery (Natalie Dorner) of the basis of the song 'The Rains of Castamere,'  Cersei responds to Margaery's previous overture that they will be sisters so they should become friends with, 'If you ever call me sister again, I'll have you strangled in your sleep.'

Niiiiice one, Cersei. Easy to see where King Joff got his sociopathic tendencies.

Arya lost her last, best friend when the ever-somber Melisandre paid an unannounced visit to the Brotherhood Without Banners. Despite Gendry's protestations that he wished to become one of the Brotherhood and his worth to them as a blacksmith, he was sold off to the red witch for a couple of bags of gold.

Arya called Mel out as the witch she is and SPOILER correctly predicted that Gendry's fate in the witch's hands would be grim. (Remember the line Mel had about Stannis not being only one with King's blood? Gendry is the bastard son of Stannis's brother, the deceased King Robert Baratheon.)

Melisandre fixed her gaze on Arya and most likely nailed it when she insinuated that Arya would be responsible for many deaths in the future. She also, in her trademark spooky way, told Arya that they would meet again.

Next week's episode of Game Of Thrones is aptly named "The Climb' as it refers to the journey Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and the Wildings, led by Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju), make to The Wall with the intention of climbing it and 'building the biggest fire you've ever seen'. Giantsbane, though he's told Jon he likes him, gives him a stern warning all the same: If Jon falls during his long slippery ascent, he is not to scream.

There may be other situations that have been previewed that might entail 'a climb,' as often with the duel/multiple-meaning titled eppys, at least one meaning is not literal.

 

Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton) in Game Of Thrones episode 3.05 (Credit: HBO)

I'm concerned about Roose Bolton, who now holds Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth's fate in his hands. He is said to be among the most ruthless of all the antagonists in Game Of Thrones.

 Otherwise, we have this shot in the preview that is troubling. I have no idea what is wrong with Jojen (Thomas Brodie-Sangster)--it appears that he is having a seizure (?)

We know that in the next episode of Game Of Thrones, the red witch, Melisandre, is traveling to the Riverlands to meet with SPOILER Gendry (Joe Dempsie), of all people. Prior to leaving, she explained to Stannis that he was not the only one with the blood of a king and she was leaving to seek another. Perhaps Gendry's remark to Arya that he was tired of being beholden to others and wished to be a free man held more meaning than it seemed, foreshadowing the arrival of the witch and with her, what may entice him.

Pain shuddered through him … and suddenly the bathhouse was spinning. Brienne caught him before he could fall. Her arm was all gooseflesh, clammy and chilled, but she was strong, and gentler than he would have thought. Gentler than Cersei, he thought as she helped him from the tub, his legs wobbly as a limp cock. “Guards!” he heard the wench shout. “The Kingslayer!”

Jaime, he thought, my name is Jaime.

Book Spoiler:

I'm going to bet that the idea of Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) marrying Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) to both 'do something' with the girl, and to keep her close as the war of the kingdoms continues, was Cersei's. She looks way too pleased with herself. If that is what is happening in the sequence of shots above. I'm going strictly on Tyrion's facial expressions and a single snip of dialogue that may or may not be from this scene (can't tell).

RIP Shameless' Fiona and Jimmy/Steve - 'That's all she wrote.'

'Shameless' : Season 3: Episode 12 - Directing a Scene (VIDEO)

Shameless Director Mark Mylod discusses filming the season 3 finale.

 

William H. Macy and Ethan Cutkosky in the Shameless season 3 finale ( Cr: Showtime)

Most of Shameless' season 3 finale, 'Survival of the Fittest' was bittersweet. Beginning with Fiona's desperate attempts to contact Jimmy, whose phone is at the bottom of Lake Michigan, as Jimmy himself may be, to Lip getting his high school diploma and finding out he has a full ride to MIT--for which he thanks Mandy. Then we had Ian forging an ID for himself, saying he's 18 y.o. old and joining the Army. Karen, Jody and baby Hymie packed up for Arizona and left Sheila an empty-nester. More bitter than sweet, is that the love that both Debs and Carl have for their their wayward father is as strong as ever as Frank's years of drugging and drinking catch up to him and he lands, seriously ill, in the hospital.

The video above dissects the scene with Carl making his way to his dad's hospital room in the dark of a wintery Chicago night, in hopes of helping Frank to heal.

Read on for a short excerpt of the excellent interview with Emmy Rossum (Fiona) in which she talks of if Jimmy and  Fiona are really over and the making of that memorable coffeehouse scene that preceded his disappearance.

 

Justin Chatwin as Jimmy & Emmy Rossum as Fiona in Shameless Episode 3.11 (Cr: Showtime)

 

“I take it that at the end of Episode 11, you’re to assume that he got on the boat and he’s not coming back,” says star Emmy Rossum. “We saw what happened to the last person who got on that boat. Remember? The first guy in the first episode, they chopped him up and they threw him off the boat.” Given that Beto tossed Jimmy’s phone in the water, Rossum believes there are only two options: “We’re supposed to assume that Jimmy is either gone to work for the family down in Brazil, or he’s done in Chicago.” With her boyfriend MIA and not returning her calls, Fiona will be “very worried” and will blame herself for driving him away, especially after the way they left things during their epic coffeehouse clash. “...she will assume in Episode 12 that she caused this. She hasn’t heard from him. They had a big fight. She said, ‘Don’t come home,’ and now he’s not calling her back. So she will think that she basically told him to [leave]... not that he is involved with all these gangsters. She doesn’t know any of that.” Whatever happens to Jimmy – and it remains a mystery even to the actress, who says the series shot different takes for his storyline – “it’s a pretty big turning point” for the character.

 

'That's all she wrote.'

Game Of Thrones, Dark Wings, Dark Words (Episode 3.02) Review

I liked this episode more than the GoT season 3 premiere. It had more fluidity, moved more quickly, and featured characters that were sorely missed in episode one: Jaime, Brienne, and Arya. Also, it caught us up Bran and Co. and introduced us to two new, very intriguing characters who join him on his long journey.

I felt like there was too much King's Landing last week and just enough this week with the much-lauded scene with Dame Diana Rigg's Matriarch, Olenna Tyrell and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) as well as queen-to-be Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) playing pitch perfectly to the way it as written in book #3. It will be fun to see the Tyrell's story un-spool.

I don't know why exactly because I used to enjoy her, but I'm really tiring of of Queen Regent Cersei's (Lena Headey) sneer. She really seems a one-note character in the television adaption and though snarky-witty (snitty?) at times, she comes across as her bratty-sadist son the King pointed out in this episode and her hated brother Tyrion pointed out in the last, rather lacking in any real abilities. Sort of predictable and ho-hum.

Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) were entertaining, though Brienne showed her naivete allowing Jaime to take her sword. Their extended sword fight in plain sight on a cross-bridge looks as if it will have disastrous consequences.

Very little happened in Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) segment. He met a warg--a human that can see through a non-human's eyes--for the first time--that was about it. Speaking of wargs, we found that Jon's half-brother Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright), who is trekking to the Wall in search of Jon, is himself a warg as is his new companion Jojen Reed (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) who is accompanied and protected by his older sister, Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick).

My eyes are glazing over too when the mother-son duo of Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) and Robb Stark (Richard Madden) are onscreen. They are as big of sourpusses as Charles Dance's Tywin Lannister but he is way more interesting. Robb pouts and stomps around and Cateyln frets and grieves--there is zero levity ever to their scenes and it is tiresome. Robb marrying Talisa (Oona Chaplin) in an uncharacteristic moment of thoughtless, spontaneous indulgence last season has given us a character that is just sort of hanging around as a plot device.

Finally, we found out what became of turn-cloak Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen)--he's in a very-very dark place.

This is a unique recap, not just of the happenings in Game Of Thrones episode 301 but additional scenes that tie Arya, Jaime and Brienne's season 2 story to the what I'm guessing will be in episode #2--and it's close-captioned!

I really missed having any scenes in the Game Of Thrones premiere episode featuring Arya especially, as she is the most compelling character in one of the most-heartbreaking situations. She quite literally has no one fending for her--she's the leader of her little pack of  'runaways' and will continue to be, through fierce circumstances that would be daunting even for an adult, never mind a girl of perhaps twelve or thirteen.

*Question: I was wondering if you had any scoops as we head into Sunday’s finale of the Showtime series, Shameless?

Ausiello: Although the penultimate episode strongly implied that Jimmy was about to sail away to his death, Emmy Rossum tells TVLine that his ultimate fate remains a mystery — even to her.

”They shot a bunch of different things [in the finale] in terms of Jimmy, and they’re not telling us what they’re airing,” she says. “So I’m not really sure how the season ends, to be honest.”

Meanwhile, Rossum says we should also be “worried about Frank, because we’re going to see him take the biggest toll in the finale.”

One of the most gorgeously set locations on the Game of Thrones, Iceland, is standing in for the fantastic land Beyond The Wall. Many fans are 'shipping the Ygritte (Rose Leslie) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) relationship in hopes that it will burn as brightly as Ygritte's flaming locks. Offscreen, the two actors share a warm friendship which seems to translate quite nicely onto the small screen.

Jimmy & Fiona: Can This Relatonship Be Saved?

Justin Chatwin as Jimmy & Emmy Rossum as Fiona in Shameless Episode 3.11 (Cr: Showtime)

Shameless - Episode 3.11 - 'Order Room Service' - Sneak Peek VIDEO 3

Hard to be optimistic about Fiona (Emmy Rossum) and Jimmy's (Justin Chatwin) chances for reconciliation any time before season 4 as this penultimate Sneak Peek VIDEO 3 illustrates pretty profoundly. I used to wish for them to have a happily ever-after, but truly, Jimmy/Steve is not a good guy.

Throughout season 3 he played the role of devoted partner to Fiona (at least when he wasn't boning his wife, Estefania) and stand-in dad to the Gallagher brood but ultimately, he is a thief, a liar and a cheat. Fiona, despite her horrible upbringing and grim life is a better person than he is. She deserves better so I'm rooting for this relationship to go down in flames.

Game of Thrones - Episode 3.01 - Valar Dohaeris - Review 

This is an initial impression of the premiere episode Game of Thrones - Episode 3.01 - 'Valar Dohaeris'. It contains only the mildest of spoilers.

Unsurprisingly and very satisfyingly, the series has raised the bar yet again visually. The locations, the sets, the costumes, the effects… everything just looks sumptuous. 

In the premiere episode, we pick up where we left off last season, with Sam Tarley running from the White Walkers and their army of undead. The scene is intense and atmospheric...with a surprise ending. Cut to the opening credits, which feature King’s Landing, Winterfell, Harrenhal, Dragonstone, the Wall and Astapor.

The rest of the episode is dedicated to catching us up with the various players in the story, including those in King’s Landing, on Dragonstone, beyond the Wall and across the Narrow Sea.

Many of these scenes do double-duty, not only catching us up on past events but also setting things up for later in the season like... watching the chess pieces being moved into position yet again... and their potential meaning... for the storylines this season.

And what of those storylines? Every one wants to know how closely this season will hew to A Storm of Swords.

Having only watched a fraction of season 3... it seems that they are still following the main storyline but at times...taking a different path getting to their destination.

There are a number of new scenes in episode one that are not in the book but which blend in in such a way that they could have been.

Others scenes, like in past seasons are wholly different from the writings of George R.R. Martin, but they serve to streamline events and characters.

 Mini Recap - Game Of Thrones Season 2

Season 2 of Game Of  Thrones kept most of our characters very busy.

Robb Stark is fight­ing for an in­de­pen­dent North.

Theon Greyjoy turned on the Starks but was even­tu­ally stabbed in the back by his own fam­ily.

Jof­frey Lan­nis­ter is still on the Iron Throne, but his uncle, Renly Baratheon, also felt he had the right to claim the throne and he re­ceived help from House Tyrell.

Tyrion Lan­nis­ter ar­rived in King’s Land­ing to be­come the hand of the king, only to al­most succcumb dur­ing the Bat­tle of the Black­wa­ter and then to be cast aside by his own fa­ther, Tywin.

Then there is Stan­nis Baratheon, also still in it to win it, and he is being helped by Melisan­dre (Carice van Houten).

Mean­while, Daen­erys Tar­garyen is still on Essos with her three drag­ons, Jon Snow is still a cap­tive of the Wildlings, and the last episode ended with Sam Tarly try­ing to hide from an army of White Walk­ers.

Are You Ready for Game Of Thrones Season 3?

Rose Leslie as Ygritte in Game Of Thrones Season 3 (Credit: EW)

You may think you know how brutal HBO’s beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy Game of Thrones can get, but to paraphrase Wildling temptress Ygritte: “You know nothing about season 3.” Based on roughly the first half of the third novel in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series,  A Storm of Swords, this season continues the epic story of rival families vying for power in a fantasy kingdom where winter and summer last for years. It includes some of the most rousing  moments of triumph in the saga’s five-book (so far) histroy — as well as its most bloody casualties. ...“Emotionally, this season really goes for the jugular,” Thrones executive story editor Bryan Cogman tells Entertainment Weekly in this week’s issue. “In some cases, quite literally.”...

Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are reluctant to raise expectations any higher, but are optimistic...One particular “Scene Which Shall Not Be Named,” as Benioff called it, left the Thrones team devastated. “I’ve never seen the crew so emotional,” Benioff says. “If the scene has that effect on the people making it who know what’s coming, if they’re that overpowered, I think it’s going to have an overwhelming effect on people watching it.” (cont.)

This season, the Lannister family backstabbing is ratcheted to a new level now that Lord Tywin (Charles Dance) has returned to King’s Landing. Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) struggles to purchase a merciless eunuch army. Kingslayer Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) attempts to escape the confinement of his noble escort Brienne (Gwendoline Christie). Jon Snow (Kit Harington) infiltrates the rival Wildling camp led by Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds), while the mesmerizing Ygritte (Rose Leslie) tries to melt Jon Snow’s heart.

HBO's Season 3 adaption of Game of Thrones is one that has long been anticipated by fans of the George R.R. Martin epic fantasy series "A Song Of Ice & Fire."

Based on parts of book 3, this season some of the most compelling characters get into some of the most memorable situations of the entire series thus far.

Diana Rigg as Lady Oleanna (Cr: EW)

Diana Rigg will play a character that stood out for her extreme directness, her lack of desire to suffer fools and her ability to scheme. It should be an absolute joy to see Rigg take on the pivotal role of Lady Oleanna Tyrell.

GAME OF THRONES RETURNS FOR THIRD SEASON MARCH 31

As Blackwater Bay cools, the victors consolidate their power and rebuild King’s Landing. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn.
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, GAME OF THRONES is an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years, and only the lust for power is eternal. The Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning series returns for its ten-episode third season SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, followed by other episodes on subsequent Sundays at the same time.

As season three begins, the Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces. Yet Robb Stark, King in the North, still controls much of the South as well, and has yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms, but nobody knows what happened to its Lord Commander and the force he led beyond the Wall.

Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

Returning series regulars on GAME OF THRONES this season include: Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Aidan Gillen (Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish), Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Richard Madden (Robb Stark), Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) and Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon).

Additional returning series regulars this season include: Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Jerome Flynn (Bronn), Rory McCann (Sandor “The Hound” Clegane), Conleth Hill (Varys), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), James Cosmo (Commander Jeor Mormont), Stephen Dillane (Stannis Baratheon), Carice van Houten (Melisandre), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Sibel Kekilli (Shae), Rose Leslie (Ygritte) and Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell).

Returning recurring cast members on GAME OF THRONES this season include: Natalia Tena (Osha), Joe Dempsie (Gendry), Oona Chaplin (Talisa Maegyr Stark), Julian Glover (Maester Pycelle), Kristian Nairn (Hodor), Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell), Esmé Bianco (Ros), Gemma Whelen (Yara Greyjoy), Hannah Murray (Gilly) and Art Parkinson (Rickon Stark).

New cast members for the third season include: Ciarán Hinds (Mance Rayder), Diana Rigg (Lady Olenna Tyrell), Mackenzie Crook (Orell), Clive Russell (Brynden “The Blackfish” Tully), Nathalie Emannuel (Missandei), Kerry Ingram (Shireen Baratheon), Paul Kaye (Thoros of Myr), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Jojen Reed), Ellie Kendrick (Meera Reed), Richard Dormer (Beric Dondarrion), Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane), Philip McGinley (Anguy), Tara Fitzgerald (Selyse Baratheon), Tobias Menzies (Edmure Tully), Anton Lesser (Qyburn), Ian McElhinney (Barristan Selmy), Michael McElhatton (Roose Bolton) and Noah Taylor (Locke).


Episode #21: “Valar Dohaeris”
Debut: SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT)

Jon is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night’s Watch survivors retreat south. In King’s Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward. Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out. Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Daenerys sails into Slaver’s Bay.

Shameless Episode 3.09 "Frank The Plumber" (VIDEO)

Episode 3.09 Description -

Fiona starts a new office job but has a hard time fitting in with the corporate culture. In an attempt to get medical coverage, Frank inadvertently becomes involved in the gay rights movement where he meets Abraham Paige (guest star Bradley Whitford), a powerful activist. (SOURCE: Showtime)

Of the 15 promo photos, the one of Ian (Cameron Monaghan) sitting on his porch steps with a really messed up eye is the one that most interests me. I have no spoilers for this episode but I get the feeling that Mickey (Noel Fisher) did this to him. That Mickey is a real rotter. I can see being attracted to dangerous boys but he's a nasty, dangerous boy and Ian could do way better. Maybe he will.

I was noticing last week how nicely Emma Greenwell as Mandy is meshing with the cast. She's not the season 1 actress that played Mandy but I really like her and the nuances to her character that we are seeing through her involvement with Lip. Like her aunt said, she's the most decent of all the Milkoviches.

Finally, the promo photos strongly indicate that Lip's (Jeremy White) ex, Karen has made another drastic choice. The three shots of her mother, Sheila (Joan Cusak), with Shelia being pampered by Debs (Emma Kenney) and a shot of the two of them indulging in a big hug, tells me that both of them have had some really emotionally wrenching times of late and that you can find comfort in the least-expected places.

'Game Of Thrones' Season 3 - Gwendoline Christie Interview BTS #gameofthrones #EWThrones

Gwendoline Christie: Game Of Thrones' Chameleon Knight

Gwendoline Christie - Despite what all the interviewers say, she's exactly like Brienne of Tarth (Cr: Gwendoline Christie/Twittter)

After looking forward to 'meeting' Brienne of Tarth onscreen in season 2 of HBO's Game Of Thrones, I was not the least disappointed in Gwendoline Christie's portrayal of the character, nor in her appearance. Unfortunately, we didn't get a lot of time to appreciate Christie's abilities--her acting or her physicality--as her chacacter's arc hadn't picked up yet. SPOILER. It does this season. And better yet, her arc is hugely intertwined with another character that though a fan fave, was barely glimpsed last season (same reason as for 'Brienne'). Both will (hopefully) get a nice piece of screen time in Game of Thrones season 3 as they struggle through an incredibly perilous adventure 'together' (reluctantly).

In a gorgeous forest glade in Northern Ireland last September, Gwendoline Christie is dressed in armor and sitting atop a horse. Her arms and hands are bound with sturdy rope. “I can only shake hands with my eyes,” she says with a grin. When the director orders “action,” Christie, as Game of Thrones fan-favorite knight Brienne of Tarth, jumps off the horse and muscles through some henchmen. On the show it all looks quick and simple. In person, the action is more impressive because of Christie’s bulky costume and bindings — just try jumping down onto uneven ground without the use of your arms. Luckily, ever since landing the role of Brienne two years ago, Christie has engaged in heavy physical training for the part. The rigorous dedication will pay off more than ever in season three as her character undertakes a very challenging journey while trying to return the captive kingslayer Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) to King’s Landing. “We last saw her as a female knight who was very much having to prove herself and find her place and find her place in society because she doesn’t have a natural place where she fits in,” Christie says after the crew releases her from her bindings. “By the end of [the season] she has a mission, which she believes is for the greater good. [Season 3] focuses on [Brienne and Jaime's] relationship and the journey those two human beings go on is extraordinary. We see her in situations trying to survive in ways that extend beyond her physical strength. And we start to see her explore her womanhood, what it is, for her, to be a woman. She’s starts to find out more about herself and about very basic human emotions — attachment to someone else and what honor really means to her. In this ridiculous and extreme situation of high drama, she starts to really find out who she is and what she believes in.” Brienne is described in George R.R Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels as large, tough and physically unattractive. When EW first reported the relative newcomer had landed the role, the very first reader comment on the post, which included a red-carpet out-of-character photo of the actress, was, “She looks too pretty and thin to play Brienne.” That oddly flattering knock was a somewhat common reaction to her casting (at least, until fans saw her impressively muscular interpretation of the role). Christie says she was rather startled — and pleased — by the response. “All my life, all I’ve ever wanted is for people to say — first of all — I’m pretty. But ‘too pretty’? Is amazing,” she says. “I also loved that they said, ‘Who’s this model?’ I only ever wanted to be a model. This acting thing — three years of drama school — is an accident! I was like, ‘Wow, they think I’m a model?’ I didn’t mind it at all. I knew all the things I wanted to do to become the part. I’ve always been able to look very different very easily.” As you listen to Christie, it’s striking how, on the surface, she is nothing like Brienne — in a good way. Brienne’s personality is rather cold and humorless whereas Christie is witty and passionate. Nonetheless, the actress says she’s been able to identify with Brienne’s search to find her place in the world. “There’s so many parts of my life that I’ve struggled with — that so many millions of others struggled with — about being an outsider, about feeling ugly, about having to overcome looking different to other people,” she says. “The great thing about this character is she’s found her strength. And this season, she goes beyond that as a person.” THRONES NEWS!: This is the first entry in a series of 15 Game of Thrones stories with exclusive behind-the-scenes content, largely drawn for our Northern Ireland set visit last fall. EW’s Thrones countdown will feature a new Game of Thrones story (#EWThrones hashtag) with original (non-spoiler) interviews each weekday in the Inside TV blog leading up to the March 31 season three premiere. After that, we’ll have recaps (see the recaps for the first two seasons here) and interviews after each episode airs. Follow me on Twitter @james_hibberd for Game of Thrones news.

SHAMELESS Episode 308 Promo VIDEO Teases (3.10.13) @SHO_Shameless #shameless

Tony's (Tyler Jacob Moore) back! ...with more bad news for the Gallaghers

 

SHAMELESS 308 – “Where There’s a Will” Episode Description

 

Emma Kenney as "Debs" has been such a big piece of the heart, excellence & essence of this show's third season. "Shameless, The "American version" of the long-running British show of the same name is on it's own merits, an unqualified hit. 

Emmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher, de facto mom to her sibling brood, is still phenomenal--most everyone in the cast is. Even Liam (Brenden Sims & Brandon Sims) is getting some good lines this season!

The family gathers for real Aunt Ginger’s fake funeral where they meet Frank’s cousin Patrick. Patrick also forged a will, and since his is dated more recently than theirs, the house is going to him. The family conspires to challenge the will and to get rid of Patrick.

 

After a failed clean-up gig, Jimmy finds a new job at the Coffee Beanery. He runs into an old friend from med school, Andy, and he begins to wonder what he’s doing with his life.

Meanwhile, Fiona and Lip look for a new house. Not wanting to move, Carl poisons cousin Patrick. Patrick lives and the Gallagher’s lose their battle for the house. Source: Showtime

 

When Tony arrives with an eviction notice, Debbie falsely accuses Patrick of touching her in her ‘nice places’. Patrick bargains with Fiona. For a small fee, the Gallagher’s can rent the house from him and continue to live there.

 

This was very funny and I really like the idea of calling our 'naughty bits' our 'nice places.' Empowering and funny!

 

With Hymie gone, Sheila no longer needs Frank as a nanny and Frank needs a new place to stay. Luckily, he meets creepy, vulnerable Christopher at his AA meeting. Sheila becomes an advocate of the word ‘retard’ and learns that Karen was the one that called the Wong’s. Kev and Carol continue to get busy with the hopes of making a baby.

The $15,000 'Game of Thrones' painting?

 

Scroll below to see more artistic takes on the world of HBO’s Game of Thrones courtesy of Austin’s Mondo Gallery.

The images are part of an exhibit that opened Friday, timed to the start of the South by Southwest film festival. Below are 10 original pieces from the exhibit. If you want to buy the first one, however, you have to pay the Iron Price — $15,000 for an oil painting that includes several of the Thrones-verse fan-favorite characters. The rest are more modestly priced.

Below are the first two posters in a series of eight creative images that will be unveiled starting today at the gallery’s new Thrones event. Mondo, the collectible art division of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, is launching the poster series on the first day of the South by Southwest music/film/interactive conference, which is seeing an increased TV industry presence this year (Showtime, NBC, The CW, A&E, Bravo and USA are among the networks with events planned).

Mondo and Thrones previous teamed for a poster series at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con. “...The gallery event will also debut the official Game of Thrones beer — Iron Throne, “a delicate, but piercing Golden Blonde Ale with Noble hops, a nod to having a Lannister currently on the Throne.”

How Shameless Will Frank Be to Keep 'His' Kids?

Cameron Monaghan as Ian and Emma Greenwell as Mandy in Shameless episode 307 (Credit: Showtime)

Despite the many jams the Gallagher kids have found themselves in, this set of 'cascading failures' seems a near-impossible one for Fiona to fix. Faced with losing Liam, Carl and Debs to the system as well as losing the house due to Frank's (William H. Macy) decade-and-a-half of swindling the government by pretending to be the deceased Aunt Ginger, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) doesn't even have a moment to feel sorry for herself.

 

Emmy Rossum as Fiona in episode 8 of Shameless--the crisis continues (Cr: Showtime)

 

As the eldest Gallagher kid, Fiona has to act quickly and to steel herself for the next blow--and they just keep coming. This story arc (episodes 306 - 308) has some of the heaviest, most heartfelt and splendid "Shameless" writing and performances I've yet seen on a show that has already been lauded many times for these qualities. There's nothing funny about a family being torn apart or losing their home but in true Shameless style, there's alway an undercurrent of humour at just how horrible and seemingly hopeless the situation is.

Meanwhile, life at Sheila (Joan Cusak) and Jody's (Zach McGowan) house is upended after an unexpected knock at the door (and I don't mean Karen returning) and Kev (Steve Howey) and V's (Shanola Hampton) quest for a surrogate pregnancy via her mother takes a turn for the ever-more-twisted.

SHAMELESS 307 – “A Long Way from Home” Episode Description

Knowing that Frank is the real reason DFS is on their case, Fiona decides to seek sole custody of the kids. She just needs a full-time job and a house. Fiona and Lip set out to forge Aunt Ginger’s will, and to find a dead body to go with it.

Still in their respective foster homes, Debbie is forced into slave labor in Kamala’s basement. Carl fights strict parental controls at Cassius and Lanier’s. Ian confronts Mickey about Terry.

Frank prepares for his court appearance by getting sober and attending AA meetings. When he learns of Fiona’s new custody plan, he challenges her in court to maintain his parental rights. Though she is forced to share rights with Frank, Fiona is ultimately granted guardianship leaving Jimmy to wonder what that will mean for their future.

Timmy Wong and his mother arrive to take Hymie. Sheila stages an intervention to curb Jody’s sex addiction. Karen returns. And Lip learns another will has already been filed with the court. (Credit: Showtime)

So, what do you think?

I'm a tiny bit underwhelmed, to be frank.

Not that it matters with the massive fanbase that HBO's Game of Thrones has built up, no one is going to not watch because they don't dig the poster.

But still.

GAME OF THRONES dragon queen and upcoming Broadway leading lady in the new production of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, rising star Emilia Clarke, shows off her striking visage and luscious curves in a provacative new photo shoot for GQ Magazine.

GAME OF THRONES returns on HBO for Season Three at the end of March.

It's silly to say, but when I take the wig off at the end of the day, I'm rather disappointed when I look in the mirror." Doubtful! But really, right now is good: critical love, and massive viewership, and job assurance... Plus, she's plotting follow-ups to "my first real job." Like playing Holly Golightly on Broadway, or maybe making a ballistic comedy (Clarke laughs as often as some people blink, and doesn't mind being seen around L.A. with Seth MacFarlane)—or, better, crashing her other favorite shows: "I'd give my right arm to be, like, a random extra on Girls, just to walk past one of the scenarios. I'd love that more than anything. Or, like, a meth head on Breaking Bad. It'd be like Where's Wally?!" (Which you've gotta hear— her true, highborn British accent pronouncing the book's true British title: Wally!) "Only, again, without the wig, they wouldn't recognize me." Like picking Waldo out of a crowd without his hat. Or his dragons.

Do Things Seem Like They Are Getting 'More Chaotic' On Shameless?

 

Emmy Rossum (Fiona) and Emma Kenney (Debs) in Shameless - episode 305 on Showtime Sunday nights (Cr: Showtime)

... was the question my spouse lobbed my way after last week's episode. With a chuckle I answered, 'Aren't they always?'

 The Gallaghers lives continue to spiral into chaos as Debbie gets terrorized at the pool (guess the 90-seconds-holding-her-breath-plan didn't go as planned), Carl (wearing an I Beat Cancer t-shirt) believes he is a cancer survivor, Fiona's locked in the ladies room at work by her co-workers for not performing like they do, the Gallagher's literally have a dead body buried in the back yard (and the city sewer people are on their way to dig). And then there's the small problem of Jimmy's coping with his dad coming out. Just another day for the Gallaghers.

Showtime surprises with 'Dexter' early return as lead-in to 'Ray Donovan' @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

Surprise, mother f**ker!
Dexter Returns for Season 8 in June!

This is one I didn't see coming, but according to Showtime boss David Nevins' announcement at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, the hit drama will debut three months earlier than usual on Sunday, June 30 at 9/8c, where it will lead into a brand new Showtime original drama.

Dexter and Ray Donovan Summer 2013

The return of Dexter and the premiere of Ray Donovan Sunday, June 30th only on Showtime.

Check out this NEW Video (above) that catches you up with Dexter's NEW schedule as well as the Liev Schreiber vehicle, 'Ray Donovan.'

The Showtime hit is moving to summer for what could be its final season. Dexter season 8 will debut June 30 at 9 p.m. to serve as a lead-in for Showtime’s new series Ray Donovan, which stars Liev Schreiber as a professional “fixer” for the rich and famous.

Showtime's entertainment president assures that the Dexter team will still have plenty of time to create a strong season. “They had a lot of advance warning [that this was happening] and they know where they’re going,” he said. “No less production time; a little less vacation time.”

Dates released for more NEW and returning Showtime Original Programming:

In addition to the big news that Dexter fans have only to wait five more months for season 8 to commence, Nevins announced that Showtime's Golden Globe & Emmy award-winning thriller Homeland, will return for its third season Sept. 29 and will be paired with the new Masters and Johnson period drama Masters of Sex.

More 2013 dates from Showtime: Shameless, House of Lies and Californication premiered on Sunday, January 13; Nurse Jackie and The Borgias April 14; The Big C: Hereafter will conclude the series starting April 29. Web Therapy will be on sometime this summer. Episodes will return early 2014. Here’s a video preview of Ray Donovan and Masters:

What does Frank do to earn a beatdown from his (former) biggest champion, youngest daughter Debs? Find out in the next episode of Shameless!

Emma Kenney as 'Deb' beats her father, 'Frank' (William C. Macy) with a pillowcase full of soap bars in Shameless - Epiasode 302 - 'The American Dream' (Cr: Showtime)

Ever the softhearted and forgiving, especially towards her n'er-do-well sot of a father, even Debs (Emma Kenney) has had it with his antics and total lack of concern for anyone but himself. The pillowcase full of soap bars is the one Deb explains to Frank (William C. Macy) earlier in the episode that she carries on her way home in the evenings after she watches baby Hymie for Shiela (Joan Cusack). She wards off any potential attackers with the homemade weapon.

Deb really goes to town on Frank after he double disses/insults her--the results are way more impressive than I would have guessed. Frank's next scene shows him with realistic, huge welts-- everywhere Debs hit him. Emma Kenney does a really nice job with this scene. Debbie is growing up and this may be the last time she holds a vigil for dad to return hime (this time he was gone for four months). Sooner, rather than later I'm guessing, Debs will see her father as Fiona (Emmy Rossum) has learned to. No sentimentality--just cold realism.

Shameless : Behind the Scenes: Shameless Season 3 Sneak Peek (VIDEO) #1

Emmy Rossum, who plays the most-awesome oldest daughter "Fiona Gallagher", brings us up-to-speed with the 3-4 months that has elapsed since last we checked in on our favourite South-side Chicago family. First of all, the Gallagher 'family' has expanded by two (and is about to add one more(!). Fiona's gotten her GED so the world should be her oyster, right?  She might disagree. Jimmy/Steve has become a stay-at-home surrogate dad which should be a great opportunity for Fiona to get out of the house more...but seems to be having mixed results (something about a man with a mop?). Frank has been MIA for months and only Debs is concerned for him, and --no surprise--Veronica and Kevin are up to some new kinky endeavors. You have to tune into Shameless on Sunday to see it and believe it. And seriously, it's the middle of winter in Chicago, couldn't you use a good laugh?

Shameless - Episode 3.01 - El Gran Cañón Teases (PHOTOS) @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Shameless

The "Shameless" Gallaghers return for the brand new Season 3 Premiere: Sunday at 9 PM ET/PT!

There's no way to describe Shameless episode 3.01 without giving too much away. No worries though, I screencapped a number of shots, which if you are imaginitive you may be able to figure out. I've throw in some teases, too! 

London-based actress Emma Greenwell (Mandy) is shown in the police station waiting to bail someone out. Shown too is Cameron Monaghan (Ian Gallagher) (Credit: Showtime)

So who is Mandy and Ian trying to bail out? Her dad? Her brother? Frank? Someone else?

Shown: Justin Chatwin as Jimmy/Steve and Emmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher (Credit: Showtime)

Why is Steve burning his clothes?

He got skunked. They had the smell of Estefania's perfume on them. He ran out of wood for roasting marshmellows. He helped dismember and dispose of a body.

 One more.

L to R: Ethan Cutkosky, Justin Chatwin, Cameron Monaghan, Emma Kenney, Jeremy Allen White (Credit: Showtime)

Where are the Gallaghers runnning off too? They are making a beer run. The house is on fire. They are ditching Frank. They are going to school.

What's in store for Dexter next season?

Q: Will anyone else be suspicious of Dexter next year? 

TVG: It probably doesn't help that the once-suspicious Quinn will be starting a fling with Dexter's nanny Jamie, since that will put him right back in the lion's den. Still, "Quinn learned to hold all his cards close to the vest," showrunner Scott Buck says.

"He knows that he certainly has a lot of information that other people at the station are not aware of, so what he knows could certainly come out at an opportune moment." Let's just see if Quinn survives dating Angel's little sister. "I can't imagine Angel would be too happy about that," Buck says.

Maisie Williams as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones season 3 (Cr: HBO)

The biggest production on TV of one of the biggest stories in fantasy is about to get ...bigger.

 The Game of Thrones team is creating a “super-sized” third season of the hit series. With showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss tackling content from the first half (roughly) of author George R.R. Martin’s largest Song of Ice and Fire novel (the 973-page,  A Storm of Swords), the writer-producer duo are delivering slightly longer episodes to the network.

They will number still only ten, but the episodes will run a bit longer each week than in previous seasons.

“There’s almost another full episode’s worth of extra minutes spread across the season,” Weiss says. “One of the great liberties with HBO is we’re not forced to come in at a specific time. We can’t be under 50 minutes or over 60, but that gives us a lot of flexibility.”

“A super-sized season, as befitting Storm of Swords,” Benioff adds. “Last year we had a lot of 52-minute episodes. This year is a lot of 56, 57.”

In fact, the third season finale is expected to run more than an hour — a move that requires special permission from the network (previously, the show’s pilot and its second season finale exceeded an hour).

Episodes are still being edited so exact times could change, but HBO and producers are confident the season will deliver more Thrones than ever before. Says HBO in a statement:

“All 10 episodes gained a minute or two from past seasons with the finale very possibly exceeding 60 minutes.” “So for people clamoring for another episode, it’s in there,” Weiss says. “It’s just been cut into tiny pieces.”

Game of Thrones returns March 31.

'Season three takes Shameless to a whole new level!'  -- Shanola Hampton, Veronica on Shameless returning with all-new episode starting January 13 at 9 p.m. e/p.

Not only do Jimmy (nee Steve, played by Justin Chatwin) and Fiona (Emmy Rossum) take their relationship to the next level (Jimmy has moved in with the Gallaghers!) but Ian (Cameron Monaghan) tries to deduce if Mickey's (Noel Fisher) feelings for him are genuine, Jody (Zach McGowan, now a featured player) attempts to love all of Sheila's (Joan Cusack) quirks (and kinks!) and Lip (Jeremy Allen White), the smartest Gallagher, continues to put his enormous talents to lucrative and mostly unlawful use.

As for Veronica (Shanola Hampton) and Kevin (Steve Howey), the randy couple jumps back on the makin' babies wagon in which Hampton says her quest to become a mother leads to a storyline that has never seen on television before(!?)

Game of Thrones - Season 3 - Casting News - Coldplay Drummer to Guest

You know your show is a big deal when you need to cast a drummer and Will Champion shows up.

The Coldplay musician will appear in the eagerly anticipated third season of the fantasy drama.
Here’s all we’re permitted to reveal about his part: Champion will play … a drummer!

This is actually the second famous musician joining Thrones during the upcoming season — Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody was cast last summer in a role that hasn’t yet been officially described (Next: Bono as Ramsay Snow!).

Game of Thrones - Season 3 - Set Photos - First look at Daario and Missandei:

Game of Thrones - Season 3 - Set Photos - Khaleesi & Ser Jorah (thumbnails):

Can't argue that the Game of Thrones season 3 sets and costumes don't look as amazinglynrealistic as ever. I imagine a tour of the sets would be a truly spectacular experience but since I don't think it feasible to travel so afar at this time, these photos will have to suffice.

Despite the inevitable nit-picking from the the devout Game of Thrones 'bookies' that rue the transition of the look of a fantasy book character to the costuming of an actual actor who is not going to be trussed up and CGI'ed like say, Gollum in the big screen LotR, I see no reason to complain that Daario is missing his 'blue hair and 3-prong blue beard with gold mustachio tips.' To be most forthright, this aspect of the series--all of the Mother of Dragons/Khaleesi adventures is the least interesting of the series thus far. To say they give her 'nothing' to do' is rather an exaggertion; to assess that she really does not accomplish a lot given how much time she expends doing it? That might be fair. My truth is that every time I get to a 'Khaleesi' chapter in the Game Of Thrones series I wish to skip it, though I don't. I'm hoping that Emilia Clarke, the actor portraying her, will somehow mine something of interest (besides Ser Jorah) out of the television adaption. To sum up, I hope the whole Mother of Dragons aspect of the books is greatly improved for the television adaption--that, or her screen time is reduced.

Game of Thrones - Season 3 - Behind the Scenes (PHOTOS) Tyrion's Scar #gameofthrones

Lena Headey in costume as 'Cersei Lannister' on the Dubrovnik set of Game Of Thrones season 3 , Sept 26, 2012

Game Of Thrones fans, we have some very enticing on-set photos taken in Dubrovnik on the first day of filming with in-costume shots of Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage--including a close up of 'Tyrion's' facial scars, and others you will recognize (or not, in the case of the kid who plays "Pod" who has grown since we last saw him!). We still must wait until 2013 before the lauded HBO series based on the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' book series by George R.R. Martin returns, but these snaps and hopefully, many more photos, videos and interviews will in the meantime, keep our GoT hunger somewhat sated.

Filming began today at the fort of St. Lawrence in Dubrovnik and several photos were taken by the Croatian press of the cast as they arrived. Lena Headey ('Queen Cersei'), Peter Dinklage ('Tyrion Lannister'), Aidan Gillen ('Littlefinger'), Jerome Flynn (Bronn), and Daniel Portman ('Podrick Paine') were all spotted. The fort was previously used in season two, for Joffrey’s name-day celebration, for the location where the nobles took refuge after the riot, and for Cersei and Littlefinger’s heated exchange about the nature of power.

There's no better time to stroll down memory lane with the Weeds cast than right now as they move towards the penultimate episode of the final season of the show this Sunday on Showtime. Unsurprisingly, many of the favourite cast and creator moments included the numerous weed/stoner times, especially when Uncle Andy and Doug thought that they should sample as much product as they could inhale. There are also fond memories recounted of the sexual adventures that that Nancy, Andy and Doug engaged in (albeit separately) that are most often more funny than sexy, 

Enjoy the reminiscing and the pictures that tell a thousands words from some of the best of the past eight season of Showtime's Weeds.
