My Weekend With Game of Thrones

Got off work early, tried to work on a beat but got too stoned so now I'm on the couch trying to sober up. I got this tincture stuff that's stupid potent, you're only supposed to take one shot but I took three. I'm hella too stoned.

5:22 PM
My boy Herb called and gave me the password to the HBO Go app. He says I gotta watch that show Game of Thrones. Cool, I'll check it out, but I'm not gonna jock it just cuz everybody else is riding it's nuts. That ain't me. I'm still hella stoned.

6:48 PM
Watched the first episode of Game of Thrones. This is some fucked up shit, for real. Everything was rolling along, I had it pretty dialed, you know, it's some Lord of the Rings shit with more blood. But then the little boy climbed the castle and caught the stuck up dude hitting his twin sister from the back. What? Then he pushed the little boy out the fucking window. Say what????? I'm taking a second to write this and then I'm back to it because, I admit, I’m tripping on this show right now.

10:17 PM
I've watched three episodes in a row. Who is this chick Emilia Clarke? She is gorgeous and off the chain on the acting tip, all the women are. Lena Headey is God damned beautiful too and scares the living shit out of me. I like Sean Bean, always have. He seems to be the go to guy for this kind of fantasy shit, remember he played Boromir ten years ago in LOTRs? 10 years, damn, time freaking flies up in this piece. I liked the Hobbits and all that shit but I'm straight up loving this Game of Thrones shit because it's got so many breasts. Shit is twisted!

I've watched Game of Thrones all night and I'm fucked up. I think the sun is coming up soon. A couple of things I want to say before finally crashing out: Peter Dinklage is dope but a little over rated. I mean, Herb kept talking about the dwarf all the time when he talked about this show but little dude's English accent is all over the fucking place. I don't know. I feel like the character is dope and that makes people praise Dinklage hella. Maybe I'm tripping. I gotta get some sleep.

2:26 PM
I'm back at it. This little prick Joffery is a real son of a bitch. Mad props to the kid actor Jack Gleeson for killing it. I've never seen a young actor be so evil and unlikeable. The kid forces one prostitute to kill the other with some giant medieval wooden dildo thing, some sick shit. And the little bastard is a kid! He's like fourteen. What's up with his parents naming him Jack Gleeson? There's only one Jack Gleeson and he died in 1987.

4:40 PM
I can see what’s happening, the humans have all this shit going on while the creepy ass shit beyond the wall is growing and building up. Things are headed towards some apocalyptic type shit with black magic and zombies and all kinds of far out weirdo shit.


5:31 PM
They killed the main character? What? The dude with his name first in the titles just got whacked. That’s some Stringer Bell getting shot type shit right there, but beyond that. Damn. And at the hand of that son of a bitch little boy king Joffery? This show is dark man, way dark. I gotta take a break.

7:03 PM
I went for a walk in my neighborhood and all I could think about was naked breasts and twisted medieval violence, I think this show may be getting to me. But as soon as I’m done writing this I’m back to it, I have to, I can’t stop. There is a growing worry in the back of my mind about what will happen to me when I run out of episodes. What then?

8:55 PM
Dragons!

9:09 PM
Getting into the second season now. All this technical shit is popping up in my head: like, did they shoot this show in one long ass shoot? Because they’ve got some young kids in this cast and none of them seemed to age at all since the last season, like they just kept shooting. Speaking of the young ones, Maisie Williams, the girl that plays Arya Stark, is straight off the chain. It’s obvious she’s going to be ruler of of the Seven Kingdoms in the end (no, I have never read those books, but c’mon, the shit is motha fuck’n obvious kid).

11:34 PM
Who the hell is Stannis Baratheon? I feel like he straight came out of nowhere. The cast of this shit is out of control. There are about 455 characters in this piece. I do sort of feel that the second season is plodding along, the first season had more focus and was able to establish the world quick and all the inbreeding and twisted shit. But now we’re plodding, f’real.

I have to rest my eyes so I’ve taken a moment to put down my phone and switch over to my computer. Before I started writing this I went online and looked up some stuff about the guy who wrote the books for all this shit, George R.R. Martin, and man, that dude is really fat. Stupid obese.
I know that’s really superficial of me but I drank some more tincture and I can’t help but look at his picture and imagine him huffing and puffing over his typewriter, straight sweating, getting off on writing about mad sex and swords and horrific violence. The dude has written five of these books and has taken something like twenty years to write them. He says he’s writing three more. He better hurry the fuck up! Dude is white haired and looking mad old, and I think I already mentioned how fat is. Huffing and puffing too much in his dark little hole where he writes this shit and bam, heart attack. I hope that shit doesn’t happen but bru, I’m speaking realness right now.

4:06 AM
Damn, I am loving this red headed chick that played John Snow like a sucker. I don’t think I caught her name, does she have one? (Editor’s note: the character’s name is Ygritte and she is played by Rose Leslie) I got to say, the fat guy Martin can write female characters like nobodies business. All my favorite characters are ladies I think, from Cersei Lannister (who is an evil ass bitch, but you still understand kind of!) to my favorite, little Arya Stark. Props Martin, ya fat bastad you.

6:30 AM
Alright, I got to stop. There’s something like an episode and a half left in the second season but I can’t go on. It’s not that the sun is coming up again or that my eyeballs are burning out of my head, it’s the phrase “my grace”. I can not hear that shit one more time, I swear to God. There must be fifty five “my grace”s on every single page on every  one of these Game of Throne scripts. Enough! My grace this and my grace that. Uggh, enough!
In conclusion: this shit is the politics of the Sopranos, with the mystery of the Wire, all blended in with the sex and violence of Rome. Oh, and a generous helping of Lord of the Rings from Mr. Chub a Lub Martin as well. I mean, it’s really it’s own thing, but I feel like any fantasy that creates its own world, involves a dark invasion that is slowly moving in, and has a little person as its main character owes a huge debt to JRR Tolkien, I mean come on. What make it work are the hesitant heroes (Frodo meet Tyrion Lannister) and the friendships that build between characters.
Maybe I’m tripping.
The sun is up and I’m going to bed.

  1. Dub-

    you nailed it. Been suffering from the same addiction although not all in a single weekend. But in the last two weeks or so, have worked through Season 1 and now two episodes into Season 2...yeah, it's twisted and I feel a certain lowbrow guilt in liking it (so far, anyway, the dragons and the unidentified terrors beyond the wall are not doin' it for me). but on the whole it's King Lear with tits, good production values and generally compelling weirdo characters that draw one in. Like being addicted to too much licorice...it'll get you flabby but still feels good going down.
