OK, name and shame time. I hop into bed because it is almost 2am here and I have to work today. As usual Jayne and I go through the ritual of discussing TV shows to watch as we go to sleep: I open with Portlandia, she counters with a kick to the face. So I saw Hey, Sean Bean has a new show out, we should watch that to which the reply is Who is Sean Bean?. Im stunned people. Stunned. I say Have you seen this little show called Game of Thrones? Hes Ned Stark to which her reply is I dont know who that is.. Frustration continues. So you know, the guy who is best friends with the King, Lord of Winterfell, has some kids that do cool stuff, dies in like Season 1 Episode 10, beheaded for treason? That Ned Stark? Thats Sean Bean. So, how am I supposed to remember a guy who is only in two episodes of a show I dont watch? And arent there like ten Starks in there anyway? How am I supposed to remember them all?. Well, he was in ten episodes, not two, and hes kind of a staple character for that season. Rage is fuming here now. I say Have you seen a little show called Goldeneye? He was pretty good in that with her retorting Yeah, maybe ten years ago.. So I say You know, Pierce Brosnan, Bond, Sean Bean plays Trevelyan, Goldeneyeeeeee time is changing. Nope, to be fair I dont really remember anything about that movie.. I clench my fists. I now say What about a little show called Equilibrium? You know, Nanny State, exclusions of freedoms, has Sean Bean as well as Christian Bale?. Nope, dont remember. So Im now all like pffft. What about a little movie called Lord of the Rings? Bit of Fellowship of the Ring? Boromir? The guy who says One does not simply walk into Mordor?. Shes all like Oh yeah, I remember him. Hes cute. And he has the on again off again relationship with the elf. Im all like No, thats Aragorn. Not Boromir. Youre kidding me right?. So then I was all like You know, Sean Bean is most notably taking roles where he doesnt survive. You know, like he dies. He likes those roles, the complex ones.. To which she says Well, if he was in more recognisable stuff maybe I would remember him, and do you think he likes being cast as the guy who always dies? Who does that? How does he make a career out of that?. So Im now sitting out in the living room. I dont think I can be in the same room as her anymore.
