Ah!  Excellent, thanks for explaining that.  I shall be patient until the 19th of June.

Is this special available for purchase from the online shop?  I've been looking on and off - but can't find it?  If someone could post a link - that would be great!  I'm just after this issue - not the bundle.

I always thought that Paul Darrow would have made a great Sherlock Holmes - he had a similar intensity/quirkiness - much like Jeremy Brett.

I'm a big fan of 'Outside' - very underrated album - and a great return to form.

Well, that was rather enjoyable.

The quality of TV these days is pretty damn good.

In relation to the Night King's intentions when he and his army eventually reached the wall...perhaps he 'knew' that he would somehow get his hands on a dragon?  If Bran has the ability to see beyond present time - perhaps the Night King has (had) similar skills?  He certainly came prepared with that whopping great chain used to pull the dead dragon out of that icy lake. 🙂

I missed the 'modify post' window of opportunity. 

I'm wondering whether a certain [spoiler]Bravosi swordsman[/spoiler] might show up in the last three episodes.  He wasn't seen to die on screen - nor was there any specific description of his death in the book.

Very much enjoyed it.  It's not often that a TV show can get my heart racing.  My wife was beside herself.

I agree with Joe - I would have liked to have seen some of the battle fought after dawn.  Being based entirely in the black of night didn't quite have the same effect as 'Hardhome' and/or 'Battle Of The Bastards' did.  But that's a small quibble.

Would have been kinda cool to see the White Walker 'Generals' get involved in a sword-fight or two - but I guess they had the wights fighting for them.

Love the fact that there's essentially still three more GOT 'movies' to watch over the next three weeks.

Would like to see a nod of the head to 'Toast of London'...

TYLER (on the intercom): "Captain Pike, it's Ash Tyler...can you hear me?"

PIKE: "Yes...I can hear you Ash Tyler."

Thanks again, guys - and also for your post Hippy - that's exactly what I needed to hear!

The initial shock has passed - but still having some issues, which I'm working through.

Cheers - I'll be sure to do so.

Thank you all for your responses - very heartening to read about your experiences.  I've got the best part of 8 months to come to terms with it all!  Just need some time for it all to sink in!

Ha!  Yes, I thought of that immediately after I pressed the POST button.

Thank you for the podcast reference.  I've actually never listened to a podcast - so now is probably a great time to learn, I guess!

No chance of anything getting back to my wife - not that I would be worried in the slightest if it did.  In fact, I'm sure she would be quite happy that I was discussing my issues with other people.

Also - no dramas with overseas holidays at this stage.  Will quite happily wait until the child is older.  We live in Australia, so I guess our travel options are a bit different.  Always been quite envious of those living in the old country and having access to the splendour of Europe!

Thank you, TLS.
