The Dude’s High 5s: 2013 Anticipations
I know the gang Omega did our Year’s Best articles, and 2013 anticipations were one of the categories. Well I have a busy week, so I’m going to use this High to both expand on that idea, and save time by not having to pick a category to write about. So here are the things I’m early awaiting for the upcoming year.
P.S. I know I said Star Trek was something I’m eagerly awaiting, and I am, but it didn’t even make the list.
‘GAME OF THRONES’ is getting an official beer. Inebiration is coming! (Or some dumb pun.)
It isn’t as cool as getting shattered with Robert Baratheon, but soon we fans of Game of Thrones will be able to drink official beer. It tastes like incest and subterfuge!
‘GAME OF THRONES’ returning next March. Barely. I cannot f**king wait.
I know everyone is throwing seminal fluids everywhere over Walking Dead’s third season, but this is the jam I’m anticipating. Having read the third book of the Song of Ice and Flames or Whatever, I can attest that this season is going to buckle knees and blow out buttholes. Be prepared.
Hit the jump for the full poster.
LOUIS CK + JAIME LANNISTER = Your Argument Is Invalid.
Wherever this was taken must have been a shit show. Jaime Lannister and Louis CK inhabiting the same relative area can result in nothing less than the decimation of brain-pieces and internal organs everywhere, cutting a swath of juicy organic matter covering the walls.
‘MEDAL OF HODOR’ is Fan Service Crossover We Deserve.
A good world we live in, where talented chaps generate such ridiculous pop culture confluence.
GAME OF THRONES Puts George W. Bush’s Head On Stake, Catches Shit; Go Figure!
If you didn’t catch it, don’t worry. I didn’t either. Last season, Game of Thrones stuck George W. Bush’s skull atop a stake, and the creators couldn’t help themselves in revealing the tidbit. Then everyone went and got all incensed. Go figure!
THIS WEEK on Game of Thrones: “Blackwater”
Yup.
Budrickton, Slacker in the North, First of His Name.
(some more specific thoughts from this otherwise straightforward-but-incredible spectacle to be rolled into a season-end post this week! Finalé’s tonight at 9pm on HBO, and it’s clockin’ in at 64 minutes! Adjust thy PVRs, and enjoy!)
THIS WEEK on Game of Thrones: “The Prince of Winterfell”, and preparing for Blackwater
Take a look at those two faces. Those are probably the two smartest, and most well-connected men in King’s Landing, and even they’re confused and unprepared. They don’t really have a handle on what’s coming next week. The capital isn’t prepared for Stannis’ impending invasion fleet. But, as with most story threads laid out in this week’s otherwise hollow episode, the hint of hope is teased for much more to come in the final two episodes of the season.
THIS WEEK on Game of Thrones: “A Man Without Honor”
It’s fun to guess at who the man is in the title of this week’s episode. There are plenty of men without honor in Westeros and Essos. The show’s breakout star of late, Alfie Allen’s Theon Greyjoy is the easy candidate, beheading Rodrik, roasting two children alive (supposedly Bran and Rickon), and betraying the Northern kingdom that was his home for half his life. But we’re meant to sympathize with him too; he was the prisoner for that half of his life, taken from his home and his family. The Greyjoy Rebellion bred this little shit, and it’s almost easy to believe that it isn’t his fault that he’s turned into a despicable, cruel Joffrey-in-the-North.
