Wilko Johnson, who played the iconic mute executioner Ser Ilyn Payne on "Game of Thrones

", has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.
In a message posted to Johnson's Facebook page

, the actor's manager Roger Hoy revealed Johnson "has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy."

Nonetheless, Johnson "is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity."
Long before he started chopping off heads in Westeros, Johnson was famous as the guitarist and songwriter for the 1970s Brit band Dr. Feelgood

. And it seems the actor wants to go out on a high note.
Hoy's post details Johnson's plans to complete a new CD, tour France and give a series of farewell performances in the U.K. in the upcoming months.

"Wilko wishes to offer his sincere thanks for all the support he has had over his long career, from those who have worked with him to, above all, those devoted fans and admirers who have attended his live gigs, bought his recordings and generally made his life such an extraordinarily full and eventful experience," the announcement concludes.

Say a prayer for Wilko Johnson.

I just realized... since switching to Verizon FiOS I have HBO now! I have to see of GoT is available on HBO on-demand to see if I can catch up.

All the sneak peaks, trailers and pics are driving me crazy. Can't wait until April - for once we get it the day after the US instead of having to wait for months!!!!

Getting excited for this now, only a few weeks until it starts

I read from another blog that the whole story of GoT is actually a modern version of Ragnarok.

I don't know... perhaps the many deaths themselves are an indication of hell already.

Now, I will deal with the end of the last episodes of all the four seasons of famous TV series “Game of Thrones”.

Do you think the references are just by coincidence or intentional?

Now, I will deal with the end of the last episodes of all the four seasons of famous TV series “Game of Thrones”.


Here are the ends that contain “reminder of Hell”:

Do you mean that Game of Thrones is satanic or hellish by your observation? Or that George R.R. Martin or the directior is trying to propagate beliefs that are hellish?

 

[JRenee]

And here is one more article, related to the secret that was in the last episode of the fourth season of the "Game of Thrones".

In the books, George R.R. Martin talks much about the idea of God or Gods. Tyrian says, "If it is right to demand trial by combat, then what does that say about the gods?" and then there is Beric who has been brought to life by Thoros several times.

Does that mean George R.R. Martin is a Hellish person?

For fun, some Game of Thrones famous insults, hehe.

By the way, here's the article where I saw GoT compared to Ragnarok. This might explain the "hellish" aspects of it all.

Just revisiting, for fun. GoT Disneyfied:

 

[Salty Vampire]

Trailers 1 & 2
Season 7
So excited!

I think there are only 7 episodes to season 7.

Icky I was reading that as well, surprised they didn't bring in some additional subplots to build toward the rumoured spin offs. Don't have Fox so am going to have to wait for other means to view.
