Sean Bean is currently starring in the Sky tv series Curfew, and I jokingly wondered how many episodes he would last. And apparently the show was in on the joke when they killed him off in the third episode.

HBO Accountant: “You can either afford Sean Bean’s salary, or you can afford dragons for your show.”

Don’t forget his favorite death Boromir in LOTR - “The Fellowship of the Ring”. It’s pretty much a given if Sean Bean shows up he’s not going to make it through the rest of the movie, trilogy, or TV series.

buts its SEAN BEAN!

It’s not that Arya was the only one looking... unless Maester Pycelle pulled a David Copperfield, I’m pretty sure someone in the crowd would have noticed a switcheroo...

Did everyone else also look away, or are they all in on the prank?

Uggh!

Meanwhile, my Paint Your Wagon Extended Universe remains in stuck in limbo.

I hate to say it but that kiss in the trailer means there is a 100% chance he dies.

I would gladly fight Gray Worm to the death for Nathalie Emmanuel.

I’m glad they made this choice, too. It’s such a rich world. I think it will be fun to get away from the Fellowship and the Hobbit a little, and into some of the other great characters. It reminds me of when KOTOR decided to be set thousands of years before the Skywalker story. It made for a fresh take on a familiar…

So I met this guy named Sauron, yadda yadda yadda, now I’m a ringwraith.

I’m a little sad we won’t get the scene where Elrond wryly brings him in for a sit-down, asks him about Arwen, and Young Aragorn is like “Oh shit -did my mother say something to you?”

At long last, I will know exactly how to pronounce “Ar-Pharazôn”!

Elrond and Galadriel have roles in the Second Age. But it’s mostly the story of Gil-Galad, Celebrimbor, Sauron, and the Sea-Kings. The gods gave humanity a great gift at the beginning of the Second Age in return for all they had suffered, but by the end of the Age, humans turned on the gods. Looking forward to seeing…

How the hell am I going to know who Aragorn took to prom?!?

*extremely Jerry voice*

I’m glad that they made this decision (and got permission from the Tolkien Estate to do it). A story centered around the forging of the Rings of Power, Sauron deceiving the elves of Eregion in fair guise, and the resultant conflict is way more interesting than trying to pad out five seasons of Young Aragorn.

Nah, I'm guessing #nyghtlyfe.

It’s crazy, I bet if a 36 year old actress auditioned, she’d be “too old” to play the love interest of a man 11 years her senior.
