Knight of the Seven Kingdoms watched:

Overall this was an excellent addition to the Game of Thrones corpus.  The pointless 'shock' scenes were pointless and offensive, but the core of the story was good people standing up against evil authority figures for the sake of what was right.  I can get behind that.  I also really liked Aegon, or 'Egg,' for his perspicaciousness.  It's rare for western media to depict a young boy as much smarter than the people around him.  Aegon was so charming I added him to my fictional character hall of fame.  He received the fitting theme song of 'The Dragon Emperor.'

While I was at it I added Margery from Game of Thrones as well.  She's beautiful, clever, and talented at getting what she wants through legal means.  She received a theme song befitting her ambitious nature, 'The World is Not Enough.'

I also added Lan from Wheel of Time, properly 'Al'lan,' last king of Malkier.  He is dedicated, devoted, disciplined, brave and skilled.  All you could really want in a man.  He also has wealth, fame, and power, the trifecta all women are looking for.  He receives 'Theme of Battle' from Lodoss War, which shares the same fantasy vibes as Wheel of Time.

Silverado is a fantastic movie so it deserved some love.  Jake is the best character from the movie so I went with him as its representative.  Hammerhead ~The Last Bastion~ has a sort of western vibe to it so Jake got that as his theme song.

Ayumi the Precure was in my hall of fame before being yanked out for being too minor a character, but now that the standards are lower she ought to qualify again.  She got Lavos' Theme, representing her dual nature as both the threat and the savior.

Ayumi from The World God Only Knows is quite cute, passionate and discerning.  As a result she gets the theme song Pasion.

Strago is a good song, but Strago the character isn't really up to snuff.  I came up with an innovative solution, though, that can satisfy both sides.  What if I combined Strago with Tellah from FF4 as one character, seeing as how they're both old mages who have forgotten but can occasionally recall mighty spells?  Strago/Tellah is a worthwhile character deserving of a song, and so Strago/Tellah was born.

March Madness has begun.  Already the first two games were thrillers, both decided by the last shot (both last shots were misses, but if they had been hits. . .).  This next month is basically going to be sitting in front of the tv and watching basketball all day every day.

Tomorrow I'll get the last two protean shards I need to promote diva Ruka to limit break level 3.  That will make my already strongest squad much stronger.  Not that I need it anymore, I already beat the last boss. . . But who knows, maybe Chapter 5 Part 3 will have some terrifying new foe I need to prepare for.
