Salute.

Did you enjoy Game of Thrones season 3, episode 1?

I certainly did.

They squeezed a lot in there- shame there was no Arya, but understandable. No Brienne and Jamie either- again, they only have so much time. Still, we got to see the Tyrell’s PR machine in effect, Tywin’s disdain for Tyrion, adolescent dragons (fantastic) and the Unsullied.

Of course, Whitebeard’s identity was revealed right away, because it wouldn’t have worked on the screen like it did in the book. Great to see him, anyway.

I think some changes have been made, or will be made, around Harrenhal and this stage of Rob’s war. I don’t mind that at all- I struggle to remember it actually.

With the show renewed for a fourth season already, we can settle in for the long haul with this one. I’d love to say what I’m looking forward to, but you know- spoilers.

Now where did that pesky Hound end up…

This is an awesome day.

In publicity driven celebration of the new Star Trek game, Paramount Pictures have released a brand new rematch between Shatner and the Gorn!

Remember that fight? If you haven’t seen the episode ‘Arena’ (1967!) and the famous scuffle, then you’ll have seen spoofs, without a doubt. And now you’ll see another. Behold, W-Shats being funny instead of vile:

 

 

You see, the Gorn are in the new game, where you can ‘be’ young Kirk. So it’s all very poetic, innit?

I’ll do my duty to capitalism: the new game is out on April 26^th, buy it, or, you know, whatever.

B-Smiths out.

Not a great deal to tell you today!

Really looking forward to watching the new Game of Thrones either tonight or tomorrow, along with the last Walking Dead.

I’ve had a few knockbacks from magazines and competitions recently but I’m still writing!

My birthday’s coming up, which is nice. I’ll be most disappointed if I don’t get a trebuchet.

Right, back to the writing. Oh, go on then, a silly haiku- that can be my new minimum post.

Nom nom Easter egg,

Hollow ovoid choccy treat,

Shame there’s no foetus.
