Westeros got an advanced copy of the GoT blu-ray. They said the first thing they looked at was the History of Westeros section:
The various segments, covering selected parts of the history of Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms, are read by a number of different actors, speaking a their characters. Our favorites? Charles Dance’s phlegmatic Tywin on the Night’s Watch (“Fairy tales”) and the Mad King, and Harry Lloyd as Viserys on everything he reads, because he absolutely projects his character and the writing is especially good when you get his very warped sense of recent Targaryen history. Other reads include Isaac Hampstead-Wright as Bran, Michelle Fairley as Catelyn, Richard Madden as Robb, Mark Addy as Robert, and Donald Sumper as Maester Luwin.
The best part of these segments is the ones where multiple characters provide different takes on events, such as the Sack of King’s Landing, which feels appropriate to the setting of the series. It does mean there’s a bit of repetition, it’s true, but still, very nice.
I hope that these are features on the dvds too.
Transcript of the first Luck chat (Which I'm sorry to say, I had totally forgotten about.)
And GoT fans - an interview with Liam Cunningham who will be in season 2.
If you haven't read the second book, you may not want to listen to the interview.
GoT - season 2 photos.
Nice. Brienne is perfect. Davos is a bit older than I pictured him, but I'm good with it.
I'm so sorry "United States of Tara" got canceled...season 3 is awesome so far.
Is that the season with Eddie Izzard? I think it is.
Yeah...he's been good.
(and actually kind of a dick, but believable too.)

I thought the entire season was awesome. I'm going to miss that show.
My mind continues to be blown by Angry Boys. I'm watching the season (series?) finale right now, and it's completely mesmerising. So many of his characters are completely reprehensible, but he manages to pull out emotion out of the strangest places. I mean, he's got this perfect blend of offensiveness.
eta: Huh, Bobby McFerrin really is an IT consultant in Washington. That makes him even more attractive, to be frank.
