Game Of Thrones Prequel Star Naomi Watts On Why It's 'Scary' For Her
Before Game of Thrones came to a divisive end this May, work on prequels to the franchise were already underway. The first to make it the pilot stage has been the project starring Naomi Watts. Note that it has not been ordered to series yet, so don't start planning your watch parties just yet.
After a lot of speculation about when it would happen, filming on the prequel reportedly began this week. As you can imagine, doing a project with as intense of a pre-existing spotlight as a Game of Thrones prequel can be "scary." Naomi Watts opened up about her emotions surrounding the project, telling the AP (via The Wrap):
It makes me very excited, yeah, goosebumps all over. It is intimidating. It's very exciting. And yes, having just come off the last series, where the world was blowing up over it. Everything was Game of Thrones related. All the advertising on TV, every article — everyone's jumping on that bandwagon. So, it is scary.
Her excitement is entirely understandable to me. She has joined the cast of one of the most popular franchises on the planet. Her nerves also make sense. Naomi Watts is reportedly beginning to film the pilot for the prequel, right on the heels of the original series' explosive end. One that was microscopically covered and analyzed.
That has to be daunting. Thankfully, Naomi Watts has some creative breathing room between the series. The still-untitled prequel is set thousands of years before the events chronicled in Game of Thrones. Watts remains hopeful about how fans could respond to the prequel, saying:
But hopefully those fans come along and get to find something new and interesting in this world as well. I think they won't be let down. It's a great team of people they've put together.
The team behind the series consists of A Song of Fire and Ice author George R.R. Martin, and Kingsman franchise screenwriter Jane Goldman. Earlier in the prequel process, there was a series in the works from Game of Thrones contributor Bryan Cogman and George R.R. Martin.
When Season 8 was airing, Bryan Cogman revealed that the project would not be going forward. Other prequels are still in the works, according to George R.R. Martin. He recently shared that three spinoffs are making progress at HBO.
In the vein of Game of Thrones' sprawling ensemble, a considerable cast of co-stars will join Naomi Watts. So far, the project remains shrouded in considerable mystery. There have been some clues and George R.R. Martin has clarified the timeline and other vital details.
HBO has decided to forgo Game of Thrones follow-up spinoffs, including an incredibly fan-desired Arya spinoff that would follow the younger Stark sister on her adventures west of Westeros. HBO's president of programming explained why it would not happen. In essence, the network is currently planning to chart its course to the past of Game of Thrones' era of Westeros.
It will be exciting to see how the pilot comes together and if it gets picked up. Naomi Watts will be playing a socialite that has "a dark secret." If that is not a Game of Thrones style character, what is? I'm highly intrigued to find out what her secret is.
Want to relive Game of Thrones' final season? You can already do so on digital. While waiting for word on whether HBO picks of the prequel pilot, there are loads of summer premieres to relish.

Company Theatre of Norwell celebrates late co-founder Jordie Saucerman with benefit November 5th & 6th, 2021
November 5 & 6 @ 7:30pm. Tickets are $25
On July 2, 2020 the Company Theatre of Norwell (TCT) mourned the passing of its co-founder, Jordie Saucerman, who passed away from cancer.
This week, TCT will be present "Jordie: A Celebration of Life and Concert" to honor the theatre's late co-founder.
In a previous announcement of Saucerman's passing from TCT, according to TCT co-founder, Zoe Bradford, Saucerman had been surrounded by her spouse Sally A. Forrest and close friends when she passed.
TCT debuted 1979 with its production of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
The group released a press release announcing that, "In true theatrical form, Jordie requested TCT patrons, staff, volunteers, and performers share in an extravagant and fun celebration in her memory."
A selection of Saucerman's favorite Broadway, pop, and Gospel songs will be sung by an enormous cast of TCT veterans who have been inspired by her life-long commitment to her work in theater.
Performers will be accompanied by a full orchestra under the direction of resident music director, Steve Bass.
Stories and videos of her life and influence will be shared.
According to Saucerman's legacy bio from keohane.com:
"Jordie was beloved by her peers, staff members, families, and most of all her students. Her incredible generosity, kind heart, sassiness, and sense of humor drew people to Jordie; and she welcomed them in to the theatre family. Her love for her theatre and the realization that The Company Theatre was a safe haven of acceptance and a place that could form and change lives are her lasting legacy. Jordie played a critical role in developing the Company's mission and bringing our motto of 'we are a family' to life both on and off stage."
Don't miss the opportunity to celebrate the life of this TCT legend, who will always be at the heart of this theatre.
Each performance will conclude with a grand finale of her favorite special effects and a special dedication announcement.
The event takes place on November 5 & 6 @ 7:30pm. Tickets are $25 with proceeds going towards The Jordie Saucerman Forever Fund.

10 Drugs That Used To Be Legal
10. Opium
Opium is a drug made from the poppy plant. Opium is made by drying the latex contained with in the opium poppy. It contains morphine usually about 8-10% by weight. This is what makes opium addictive. It also contains some codeine and other alkaloids. Typically opium is smoked in order to vaporize the morphine and get high (or relieve pain). Opium was also used in other ways. For instance Laudanum was a solution of opium in alcohol that was used as a way to consume opium (and thus morphine). Like morphine, heroin, and oxycodone, opium is addictive and causes tolerance and dependence.
09. Marijuana
Marijuana is derived from the Indian hemp plant, Cannabis sativa, a member of the Cannabaceae family. All types of cannabis strains – both male and female plants – produce THC, the active ingredient that, when smoked or ingested, intoxicates the user. This substance can be detected in every part of the plant, including the stems. The highest concentration of THC, however, is found in the resin, which is most abundant in the flowers of female plants. Marijuana cannot be easily classified. It is described as a psychogenic (a cannabinoid), a narcotic (although it does not contain opium), and a hallucinogen (the USA government's designation). Each of these definitions, however, is a compromise. Opinion is further divided on whether the drug is a CNS stimulant or a depressant. Controversy also rages over marijuana's medicinal properties, which are alleged and denied fiercely by proponents and detractors, respectively. One fact remains indisputable: marijuana is the most abused illegal drug in the world.
08. Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug. Meth can cause an individual to have a general sense of well being. In addition it will increase ones physical activity while decreasing their appetite. Used over an extended period of time methamphetamine can cause high blood pressure and lead to permanent damage to blood vessels that are located in the brain. This can ultimately result in strokes and death.
07. Peyote
Peyote is a small, spineless cactus, Lophophora williamsii, whose principal active ingredient is the hallucinogen mescaline. From earliest recorded time, peyote has been used by natives in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States as a part of traditional religious rites. Mescaline can be extracted from peyote or produced synthetically. The top of the cactus above ground — also referred to as the crown — consists of disc-shaped buttons that are cut from the roots and dried. These buttons are generally chewed or soaked in water to produce an intoxicating liquid. Once ingested, peyote can cause feelings of nausea before the desired mental effects appear, which are altered states of perception and feeling. Other effects can include increased body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure; loss of appetite, sleeplessness, numbness, weakness, tremors. Effects can be different during each use due to varying potency, the amount ingested, and the user's expectations, mood and surroundings.
06. Cocaine
Cocaine is a strong central nervous system stimulant that increases levels of dopamine, a brain chemical (or neurotransmitter) associated with pleasure and movement, in the brain's reward circuit. Powder cocaine (also called coke), freebase and crack are all forms of cocaine. They're all powerful stimulants, with short-lived effects – that means they temporarily speed up the way your mind and body work. Both 'freebase' cocaine (powder cocaine that's been prepared for smoking) and 'crack' cocaine (a 'rock' like form of cocaine) can be smoked. This means that they reach the brain very quickly, while snorted powder cocaine gets to the brain more slowly. All types of cocaine are addictive, but by reaching the brain very quickly freebase or crack tend to have a much stronger effect and be more addictive than snorted powder cocaine. Injecting any form of cocaine will also reach the brain more quickly but this has serious additional risks. It raises the body's temperature, makes the heart beat faster and reduces your appetite. When the effects start to wear off, people experience a long 'comedown', when they feel depressed and run down. This crash can happen for days afterwards.
05. LSD
LSD stands for its chemical name, lysergic acid diethylamide, and is commonly called 'acid'. It's a powerful hallucinogenic drug – this means that users are likely to experience a distorted view of objects and reality, including seeing and sometimes hearing things that aren't there (these are hallucinations). The experience of taking LSD is known as a 'trip'. Trips can be good or bad, but until you take it you don't know how it will affect you – and once it's started you can't stop it. Physical effects include increased body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure; sleeplessness; and loss of appetite. It is sold as tablets, capsules, liquid, or on absorbent paper. LSD produces unpredictable psychological effects, with "trips" lasting about 12 hours.
04. GHB
GHB, also known as 4-hydroxybutanoic acid and sodium oxybate (INN), is a naturally occurring substance found in the human central nervous system, as well as in wine, beef, small citrus fruits, and almost all animals in small amounts. It is also categorized as an illegal drug in many countries. GHB usually comes as an odorless liquid, slightly salty to the taste, and sold in small bottles. It has also been found in powder and capsule form. It is classified as a sedative-hypnotic, and was originally developed as a sleep-aid. At lower doses GHB has a euphoric effect similar to alcohol, and can make the user feel relaxed, happy and sociable. Higher doses can make the user feel dizzy and sleepy, and can sometimes cause vomiting, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness. Overdoses will always cause loss of consciousness (temporary coma), and will slow down breathing. Sometimes, and particularly if mixed with alcohol, GHB can slow breathing down to a dangerously low rate, which has caused a number of deaths.
03. Magic Mushrooms
Magic Mushrooms are also known as shrooms and contain a substance psilocybin that produces an LSD-like effect in users. Magic mushrooms have been used as millennia and were promoted by psychologist Timothy Leary for psychological use in 1960s. Possession of psilocybin-containing mushrooms was outlawed in 1968. After picking, magic mushrooms are often eaten raw or are dried out and stored. Some people use the dried mushrooms to make tea. Most people take between 1-5 grams. Your sense of time and movement can speed up – or slow down. Colours, sounds and objects appear distorted. You may feel disoriented, tired or sick – and some users can get stomach pains or diarrhoea. People don't tend to eat fly agaric mushrooms raw as they can make you feel really sick and also because there is a greater risk of poisoning and death from this family of mushrooms.
02. Ecstasy
MDMA or Ecstasy (3-4-methylenedioxymethampheta-mine), is a synthetic drug with amphetamine-like and hallucinogenic properties. It is classified as a stimulant. Ecstasy comes in a tablet form that is often branded, e.g. Playboy bunnies, Nike swoosh, CK. Taken in pill form, users sometimes take Ecstasy at "raves," clubs and other parties to keep on dancing and for mood enhancement. Users report that Ecstasy produces intensely pleasurable effects — including an enhanced sense of self-confidence and energy. Effects include feelings of peacefulness, acceptance and empathy. Users say they experience feelings of closeness with others and a desire to touch others. Other effects can include involuntary teeth clenching, a loss of inhibitions, transfixion on sights and sounds, nausea, blurred vision, chills and/or sweating. Increases in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as seizures, are also possible. Cardiovascular failure has been reported in some of the Ecstasy-related fatalities. After-effects can include sleep problems, anxiety and depression.
01. Heroin
Heroin is a highly addictive drug derived from morphine, which is obtained from the opium poppy. It is a "downer" or depressant that affects the brain's pleasure systems and interferes with the brain's ability to perceive pain. It usually appears as a white or brown powder or as a black, sticky substance. It is injected, snorted, or smoked. Short-term effects of heroin include a surge of euphoria and clouded thinking followed by alternately wakeful and drowsy states. Heroin depresses breathing, thus, overdose can be fatal. Users who inject the drug risk infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

'This Is Us' returns, and this is what made us cry the hardest
By Elahe Izadi
| Washington Post |
Sep 27, 2017 | 9:25 AM
Weep-inducing "This Is Us" has returned, and the NBC drama has once again delivered an hour of television that prompted tears to fall across this great land.
(Spoilers ahead. You've been warned.)
Tuesday's season premiere starts off a year after the series began, with the "Big Three" celebrating their birthday. It also offered more clues as to how Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) died, included some promising personal growth moments for the Pearson triplets and left us in a puddle. Here are the moments that made us cry hardest, in order of ascending severity:
Beth and Randall make a decision:
It seems there's some trouble in Randall-and-Beth paradise, but these two managed to surprise and jerk some tears out in the process.
Randall (Sterling K. Brown) is dead-set on adopting a baby, and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) feels he's pushing without taking her into consideration. "Thirty-seven years ago, my parents chose me, and that's why I'm here with you," Randall says. "This isn't going away, Beth. You need to get your head around it." Beth responds: "I'm not throwing down with you in an adoption parking lot." Superb retort.
But Beth reflects on some words of wisdom given to her by William (Ron Cephas Jones) in his favorite park - the place reminds him of home, he says, and it's not nearly as white as where they live now, Beth adds with a laugh.
After Randall comes to his own revelations, he tells Beth they have a perfectly imperfect marriage and they'll figure out a way forward, together.
Ok, sweet, but no big crocodile tears - until Beth takes Randall to William's favorite park and gives him his birthday gift, William's poems to his son, bound like a proper book. She also tells Randall how things could have turned out so differently for him, as they see a nearby young kid getting involved with things he shouldn't. Beth asks instead of adopting a newborn, why not an older kid, one who's having a much harder time finding a home? While they can't mold such a child the way they could a baby, Beth says, "If we're going to risk our perfectly imperfect life, let's go all the way."
Good point, Beth, and NOW I GOT CROC EYES.
Just seeing Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Randall back together on good terms makes one weepy. But this conversation - oof. The first big cry of the episode.
Present-day Randall wants the origin story: Did Rebecca and Jack immediately know that he was theirs, as Randall grew up hearing? "It's complicated," Rebecca says, and Randall accurately points out that's "something people say when they don't want to tell the truth."
The real story: Jack had wheeled Rebecca to the hospital nursery, pointed out the little baby boy and said, "Can't you just feel it? Can't you just see it?"
"I said, 'No,' " Rebecca confesses to Randall 37 years later. "But your father was so sure I was tired and I was grieving, and he just kept pushing me. He was so determined that you were meant to be, meant to be ours."
She continues: "Sometimes in marriage, someone has to be the one who pushes to make the big moves. Oftentimes in our marriage, yes, it was your father. Our marriage wasn't perfect, it's true. But none are. Your father wasn't perfect either, but he was pretty d--- close. As close as they come. He pushed a stranger on me, and that stranger became my child, and that child became my life. He became you."
TEARS HAVE BEEN SHED AND SNIFFLES HAVE COMMENCED.
That ending:
We almost thought we'd make it out of this episode with just a few cries of the heartwarming variety. Then suddenly we're hit with a Mack Truck of sorrow.
Teenage Kate and Randall are on a couch, crying their very hardest, as Randall's girlfriend (right?) and Miguel awkwardly try to provide solace. This is not good. Kevin's someplace else, making out with someone (who better be Sophie), and blissfully unaware of the horror engulfing his family. And Rebecca (Mandy Moore) drives alone, steely-faced and in a Steelers shirt, with a plastic bag containing Jack's wedding ring and watch in the passenger seat.
She pulls the car up to their house, and it seems that the very sight of the mailbox reading "Pearson" causes her to break down. Then the camera pans out and we see that their entire house had been burned in a fire. The yellow caution tape still surrounds the property and Rebecca is emotionally destroyed.
These last few scenes gave us bits of information that shed light on the great Pearson family tragedy, but honestly, how many did you catch? Could you even see through the waterfalls descending down your face?
Leftover, non-emotional moments:
"They're like gremlins - by next week, there'll be a bazillion more of them." That's Kevin on the Kardashians, and it's an inadvertently extra-harsh burn this week as rumors of Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian pregnancies abound.
R.I.P. William, but please continue to provide voice-overs during each episode.
Randall's lame-dad-joke-of-the-week has a Michael Scott flavor: "Get up in it - that's what she said." We'll forgive you.
Hmm, I don't know. I kind of still preferred Kate's rendition of "Nothing Compares 2U."

Kraken beat Maple Leafs 5-1 for 3rd straight victory
Thu, Jan 5, 2023 0 Comments
TORONTO (AP) — Vince Dunn had a goal and two assists, Martin Jones stopped 26 shots and the Seattle Kraken beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 on Thursday night for their third straight victory.
"We shot a lot of pucks tonight from all sorts of angles," Dunn said. "That's really important to keep the goalie honest and for us to establish a forecheck."
Jared McCann had a goal and an assist to help Seattle improve to 21-12-4. Eeli Tolvanen opened the scoring for the Kraken on the power play, with Matty Beniers and Alex Wennberg adding goals.
John Tavares had a power-play goal for Toronto and Matt Murray made 21 saves. The Maple Leafs dropped to 23-9-7.
Just 14 seconds after Tavares tied it midway through the second period, Dunn handcuffed Murray with a wrist shot that dropped to the ice off the goalie's arm and slid over the goal line.
McCann made it 3-1 shortly afterward, taking a lead pass from Jaden Schwartz for a clean breakaway. He snapped a shot past Murray, pumping his fist as he curled away past the goal in celebration of his team-leading 18th goal of the season.
"We have to do a better job, obviously, of executing those details, especially in certain moments of the game to continue to give us a chance and be right there," Tavares said. "Especially when we did a lot of good things in the first half."

We're a tiny cape company with a super BIG mission
We're out to change how the world sees the unique challenges that some kids face, and reveal the superpowers behind every difference. Where some see adversity, we see the Extraordinary.
Hi. I'm Robyn Rosenberger
In 2012, while making a few special capes as gifts for family and friends, I was reading about the journey of a sweet girl named Brenna who was born with a rare, severe skin condition. Seeing the courage and strength of Brenna and her family, I had an AHA moment—Brenna was a superhero! And she needed a cape!
We sent Brenna her own cape, and within a few months, what began as a small hobby in our home in St. Louis, MO, grew into a movement. We began sending capes to kids all over the world to help empower them to see how truly powerful and courageous they are. Today, our Squad includes over 80,000 kids and their families across the globe.
TinySuperheroes starts with a cape, but the journey doesn't end there. We're growing a community that lifts each other up and makes every TinySuperhero in the world feel strong, able, and proud of the qualities that make them Extraordinary. On behalf of the entire Squad, I hope you decide to join us.
The mission always comes first
TinySuperheroes is a socially conscious company that puts mission and community first. As a social enterprise, we're committed to making a difference as part of our day-to-day operation.
Our business is based on a pay-it-forward model. Here's what that looks like for us:
When you nominate a TinySuperhero or Sidekick for a cape, we make a personalized crowd-funding tool, and ask you to share it. $50 funds the cape, and any money raised over that helps other TinySuperheroes on the waitlist get a cape. Every person nominated gets a cape – no matter what. As of right now, about 30% of people will raise funds, but they raise enough to support 100% of the Squad!
The Monthly Missions are a favorite of the TSH Squad. Free for every Super and Sidekick, Missions are primarily funded by Birthday Campaigns. Every $10 raised during a Birthday Campaign pays for a Monthly Mission for one Super or Sidekick.
After participating in Monthly Missions:
of Supers felt more confident
of Supers created lasting memories
of Supers felt a sense of belonging
of Supers had a greater sense of self-worth
