Special Announcement!

Hey non existent readers! I have some awesome and potentially dangerous news.

Next Thursday (Australia/future time), I am holding a Lord of the Rings marathon at my place with a bunch of friends in honour of The Hobbit coming out!

I've calculated and see that it is 9 hours and 18 minutes....not including extended scenes and footage that my friends have and we are going to watch. So this will be taxing day, whether it be on my health or emotional state or my mental state.

I'll try to figure out how to record my reactions in one form or another in order to do a full out review afterwards.

So here is my knowledge of Lord of the Rings (which is mainly made up of singular words and pronouns):

• Elijah Wood = Frodo
• His friend's name is Sam? Which is a weirdly normal name for this universe. I mean...his best friend's name is Frodo...
• There are two other guys and one of them plays Charlie from Lost
• They're hobbits which are different from dwarfs
• Middle Earth
• New Zealand
• Gandalf
• Sauron?
• Ring that has weird writing inside and does stuff and is significant
• Evil Dobby named Golem
• "My precious....."
• Orlando Bloom
• There's a lot of walking and journeying through New Zealand  Middle Earth
• Btw is Middle Earth the name of the whole universe or just the name of one specific section in the universe? See, I have the same problem with Game of Thrones. Is Winterfell the whole universe or just one region? DON'T ANSWER THAT

This looks like I know a lot (to me it does) but I'm just saying words that I've heard around everywhere. Because...you know...I live under a well informed rock. So here are predictions:

• People die
• The ring gets destroyed at the very end. It has to be right? That's the whole point of the whole franchise?
• There's an evil force that want's the ring for evil purposes? Because they're evil?

Yeah that's all. I don't know. 

Sons of Anarchy S01E01 Pilot

So. I don't know how to feel so far. It's interesting.

The cold opening confused the hell out of me. Obviously by me asking whether they were cops or not indicated my complete stupidity. Things became clear to me only when they bribed the fire department and Jax called Clay the king. It's funny because when he said King I thought immediately of True Blood and how there would be sheriff and king vampires in each town or state. So it's kind of like that.

So on one end there is the Sons of Anarchy whose territory is Charming and then there is the Mayans and the Nords? This part of the plot seemed really insignificant to me despite how much screen time was devoted to it. It seemed that this episode was more to introduce and set the characters and the emotional side of things rather than the main conflict between gangs which I think will be focussed on this season. DON'T TELL ME IF I'M RIGHT OR NOT.

The family. My gosh there's so much drama and insanity happening already.

• I'm so conflicted about his mother. She's protective of her family but she also looks like she's going to be manipulating a lot of the characters like Jax, Sam and the other females. Also I kind of think she's psychotic after what she did to Wendy.  
• The conflict behind Jax, his mum, dead father and Clay. This part is still confusing because I still have no idea what happened in the past for Jax's parents or the history of the Sons but obviously that's going to be really explored in the future. Right? 
• I'm thinking Jax is going to be the moral character of the series which I saw when he let Opie go back to his family and his hesitance to kill others. 
• I like Tara. She looks like she's genuinely trying to get away from whatever happened 10 years ago. WHAT HAPPENED? Wait. DON'T TELL ME. So many questionsssss.
• Wait. Wtf. Is Wendy dying? Did she actually purposely overdose? Did they just kill what seemed to be a main character already? 

I'm loving that little meeting scene because it just makes them look like a normal little club instead of a hardcore, violent, territorial bikie gang. The dynamic between the members was really well established. The loyalty and structure seems really solid. I'm really going to regret saying that aren't I?

So I guess it's interesting and enough for me to like it so far. Nothing really gripping yet though.

PS I JUST REALISED HALF-SACK WAS THE DORK FROM RAISE YOUR VOICE!!!

Predictions for Sons of Anarchy, Supernatural and Game of Thrones (novel)

Ok. So this is going to be me making a complete fool out of myself. I can see myself in the future laughing incredulously at past me already. 

Sons of Anarchy.
Let me just start off by saying: I have no idea what this is or could be about. I've heard that it was amazing. And that's about all. I don't know any plot points, I don't know any characters or names. Someone had to accidentally mention it was about bikies for me to know that. I haven't even seen any tumblr gifs or graphics about it. So here are my blindly made predictions about Season 1, or the series in general:

• There are at least some attempts of anarchy
• I’m guessing that they’re not literal sons/brothers, but like, brothers in spirit? JC....
• Bikies is the only clue I got from a friend. I actually didn’t even know that. 
• Guns
• Men
• Shit man, I don’t know. I KNOW NOTHING!
• Tig. 
• Apparently tears shall be shed. Or endlessly flow. Forgot which one
  

Yeah talk about unprepared.....

Supernatural

To be fair, I've seen this season and remember half the episodes. So it isn't really fair for me to try and predict anything about this. 

Game of Thrones

Everything I know about this is from tumblr and friends. So these are predictions based solely on the television show which will probably sound ridiculous and weird when applying it to the novel. Here I go:

• People wanting to be THE king and/or queen? Of everything? 
• So apparently favourite/loved characters will be ripped away from you
• The hated ones somehow survive
• There's a dragon lady who can talk to them??
• There's a kid that everyone hates and wants to bitchslap
• Nudity and incest
• There's a throne....
• I feel like an idiot writing this. I’m pretty much all done
• There’s going to be a lot of snow
• Apparently Winter is coming. I don’t know if it actually arrives any time soon. Is it a metaphorical winter? Does time pass differently in this realm which means it takes 10 years for a literal winter to arrive? I DON’T KNOW. I’M GOING OFF TUMBLR GIFS AND I’M RUNNING OUT. I STARTED PANICKING BECAUSE I STARTED RUNNING OUT AFTER INCEST.
• Swords. I’m desperate at this point.
• Brief moments of happiness is followed immediately by tedious extended periods of grief and death

Yeah....so lets get to it!
