Thread: All Things:HBO

Am I the only one that feels like, when I am watching True Blood, a whole lot is going on...just to think about it after the show is over and realizing that not a lot happened?

Watched it last night with the wife. I was going into it thinking that the evidence was messed up or that she was drugged by someone.
As it turns out, according to all reason, she had a tooth ache and she smoked a joint and drank a crap load of Vodka and then proceeded to kill 7 innocent people.
The sister in-law and her husband feel that something else happened? I guess Cleopatra was not the only queen of De-nial.

Rob Riggle is set to star in the sitcom Lifestyle Lemonaid as part of a new development deal with HBO. The project is based on Nikki Joel’s blog at LifestyleLemonaid.com. The primary subject is Mr. Joel, including posts on “the time he wanted to have a vasectomy, the time she caught him masturbating in the middle of the night during an earthquake, and the time he erased all her TiVo-ed shows because he was pissed she’d gone out three nights in a row without him.” Riggle will play the husband, and according to Deadline, is involved in the development of series with writer Jordon Nardino (Desperate Housewives).

Gemma Whelan Joins Second Season of GAME OF THRONES

The anticipated second season of Game of Thrones already has some cast members lined up, and now EW has word on yet another entering the mix of HBO’s epic fantasy series. After supporting roles in films like Gulliver’s Travels and The Wolfman, actress Gemma Whelan has now landed the role of Asha Greyjoy, the older sister of young Theon of the Stark family. However, in the series, her character name will be changed to Yara Greyjoy, likely to avoid confusion with the character Osha (the names sound very similiar). Of course, the character from the book will largely stay the same as Yara is said to defy Ironborn traditions of her family by commanding her own ship and leading men into battle, as well as having a penchant for axes. Sounds like quite a bad-ass maiden to spice up what promises to be a great second season.
