Lost Word of the Day - Molrowing

This show is one of my new favorites, and let me tell you, there is much molrowing to be had. Usually I don't care much for television that has excessive violence, nudity, or sex. The HBO series "Deadwood" was one exception, several years ago. Game of Thrones is another one. My husband is as hooked as I am. It's now our "Sunday night thing" to hang out and watch the new episode. He's even stopped shaking his head when I call Sean Bean "Boromir" (from his role in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings) instead of "Ned" which is who he plays in this series.

The biggest obstacle is to not talk much about it in front of our two teenage sons, and downplay it if the topic does come up. Because while I'm saying, "Oh? That show? It's okay." On the inside, I'm like, "OMG IT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!!! YOU WOULD LOVE IT!" And they would love it -- but I won't let them watch anything with sex or nudity so they're just going to have to miss out for now.

They killed off several main characters at the end of the first season. Who does that? Game of Thrones. That's who does that. See that phrase on the promotional poster, "an epic new series"? They're not giving themselves nearly enough credit. It's much, much better than the term "epic" implies on its own. You might think I'm exaggerating, and I would have too if I hadn't seen it. I would've thought that 2 - 3 episodes into the series.

If you haven't seen Game of Thrones, then look it up on something like HuluPlus or Xfinity OnDemand. If the first couple of episodes aren't your thing, don't give up. Stick with the series. By the end of the first season, your jaw will hurt from repeatedly dropping open in shock.
