So far, it's really good, although those Dragons are out of control!

That would be difficult, I fear shock. I knew what was going to happen to a lot of the characters after series one so I'm trying really hard not to find anything out about this series.

I Would bring back Catelyn and Ned. (Watching the digital spy thing)

Wow Tegan! You really have got it bad. grin I gave up watching my DVDs of the last series because I couldn't remember all the characters. You don't get a list like you do in the books.

Is there going to be another book? confused

They showed some of part one series five on gogglebox sad. I tried to leave the room but had to watch it [bit like a rabbit caught in the headlights I was]. Feel even worse about not being able to watch it now confused.

Just watched the San Francisco premier on utube; thought it would be on for 5 minutes but it lasted an hour with lots of scenes from the new series.

I am reading the books - one of them comes with a useful list of characters as an appendix. I don't think I want to watch it though.

Hmmm.... perhaps I really should make more of an effort to concentrate and be doing sudoko at the same time !!

Thankfully when I went to bed and was lying in complete silence the names came back to me. How could I forget Arya confused? The last scene of her on the boat at the end of series 4 sends shivers up my spine just thinking about it. I'm even planning a trip to Belfast to see the locations blush. The writing and acting is beyond anything I've ever seen before. I'm going to treat myself to looking at the trailer now.

Oh good, glad it's not just us then!Tegan, we won't give any spoilers on here, hoping This series will be as riveting as the last one, which was amazing.

Sorry, I just can't get into GOT, shame, especially since a great deal of it is filmed nearby.

DH loves it.

You're not alone roses. We did exactly the same trying to remember characters and ending of last series.

It is definitely not an age thing as DD1 aged 38 also spent time figuring it out again wink

If it's any consolation I've just spent the whole evening trying to remember the names of half of the characters. I can remember the actors real names but their character names have escaped me. This is worrying as I'm a complete GoT's addict and watch each episode several times confused. I don't have Skye so I'll have to wait till after Christmas to see series 5 and it's crippling me sad. I'm determined not to google it. I KNOW NOTHING [SOB]....

Watched the first episode,of the new series ( series 5) and good as usual, but we spent a fair bit of time pausing the action and discussing who characters were and what had happened in the last episode.Lol, must be an older person thing all this forgetting!
