Game of Thrones - SPOILERS INSIDE

[Miotch]

There had better be Strong Belwas along the way.

[Blitz]

He's gone. Give it up. Useless character anyways.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Booo! That's a shitty decision.

[ClockShot]

Got started on this yesterday during Comcast's Watchathon.

May just go pick up the first 2 seasons.

[VSG]

He's gone. Give it up. Useless character anyways.

I always thought Belwas had something to do with Varys.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Damn, I'd pretty much forgotten who most people were. Should probably have marathoned the first two series to refresh my memory. Far too many old, white haired guys for my liking.

Glad Obi Wan saved Daenerys though, she's a beautiful shining light amongst the smelly, tramp looking people on the show.

[Innovator]

Every time the N for Nudity pops up on screen, there is a slight hope it might be Daenerys

Didn't really take long, GoT is renewed for Season 4.

[Heisenberg]

Didn't really take long, GoT is renewed for Season 4.

Big testament right out the gate to announce this right after their first episode premiere of the current season.

Big congrats to them on the renewal.

[Lock Jaw]

Thought they already had a fourth season since they were only doing half the book this season.

[ClockShot]

Picked up both seasons on blu-ray today. Season 1 was tough to track down, got the last one at a wal-mart a few towns over from where I usually venture to. Pretty good price, too.

Will start this up pretty soon.

[The Destroyer]

Thought they already had a fourth season since they were only doing half the book this season.
Never a given. Could have absolutely tanked ratings wise and not been renewed at all. Unlikely, but you never know.

Had this happen when I started watching S2. Plenty of "Wait, who's this guy? Why are they treating it like we already know all about this new guy?"

Went back to watch S1 in the end to try and make sense of it.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Pretty sure I don't know anyone's name except for Tyrion, Daenerys, John Snow and Jerome from Robson & Jerome.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

The amount of times somebody mentions somebody by name and I'm like "wait, which one's that guy again?" is ridiculous. Still have no idea who/what the red haired woman is.

[Heisenberg]

I think I have a good excuse to boot everyone from my house after I get done hosting Wrestlemania...that's right...Game of Thrones

[Lock Jaw]

The amount of times somebody mentions somebody by name and I'm like "wait, which one's that guy again?" is ridiculous. Still have no idea who/what the red haired woman is.

Which red haired woman, though?

At least four currently in the show.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Dunno. The one who's a witch or something.

[Heisenberg]

Sansa, Ygritte, and Ros off the top of my head as three possible candidates

[Heisenberg]

Dunno. The one who's a witch or something.

ahh Melisandre

[Lock Jaw]

Who is Ros? Now I'm the one who is confused.

Catelyn Stark is also a redhead.

[Heisenberg]

Littlefinger's prostitute

[VSG]

Read the books or get the GoT Companion app.

[Miotch]

THE red haired woman

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Every time the N for Nudity pops up on screen, there is a slight hope it might be Daenerys

Hope we get to see Ygritte. Dany isn't out of the realm of possibilities either.

[VSG]

Good storyline episode tonight.

[Blitz]

Yeah loved it. Setting up so much shit.

[Innovator]

I loved the shooting the arrow into the air bit

[RP]

" If the throne was made of cocks they would have never gotten him off of it " lol

[RP]

I'm waiting for Jamie Lannister to turn into a total bad ass. You can see it coming. I got the feeling he could have fought that Ogre woman a lot better, but he didnt want to kill her because he admired her in some sort of way.

And btw, dude looks like Sawyer lol. He's fantastic. I thought he sucked balls when he wasnt captured.

The kid playing Joffrey is amazing. Early MVP candidate this season.

[whiteyford]

Joffrey is the biggest cunt on tv.

[RP]

He's a brilliant cunt though and i really think he's gunna end up raping the shit out of his new queen and for some reason i cant wait.

[whiteyford]

Oh definitely, there's a few twats on the show but they all pale in comparison which is an accomplishment.

[RP]

I can see Shea dying from like a mile away. Probably in the next few episodes. Too bad because i love that filthy whore.

[whiteyford]

I read the books, some really huge swerves.

[RP]

The quality of whores in this show is amazing. The red head whore is top notch. I'm pretty in love with her.

[whiteyford]

Yeah can't fault the snatch quota.

In the books, Jaime and Brienne fight for a while, and he is legitimately surprised that she is so good. He was actually trying to escape, and she defeats him and tries to make him yield. It's been a little bit since I read it now, but I seem to remember him being legitimately defeated by her. Granted he was shackled and malnourished, but I do recall him being incredibly surprised by her skill, and not necessarily 'holding back' for any sort of mutual respect. He's Jaime Lannister, the guy isn't a saint and doesn't have very many qualms about honor when his life is concerned.

[Requiem]

Granted, in the shows they've diverged slightly from certain roles and attitudes and they did make it seem more like he could have had the upper hand if those people hadn't come along.

[Miotch]

RP is gonna love the next episode.

[El Fangel]

Granted, in the shows they've diverged slightly from certain roles and attitudes and they did make it seem more like he could have had the upper hand if those people hadn't come along.

Dont understand people complaining about it being different. It is a 1000 page book, there are 10 episodes, that means roughly 100 pages to fit into 60 minutes. Even at best, you are giving each page 36 seconds of screen time.

I especially liked the scene in question though, Jaime is easily the best developed character as ASOS Spoiler he is one of the few to deviate from what he was like the first time you read about him and gets really interesting after a certain major event.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The first series mirrored the books almost exactly, so I can see why some people would get annoyed at the changes made then to the story of the second books. That said, I think the vast majority of the changes they make are for the benefit of the television plot and much of the book wouldn't work on screen.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's the Bible for the rest of the series, so trimming that down wouldn't do much good and would have done some harm. I didn't expect the other books to carry that on.

They need to trim the fat a bit and the novels have way too many characters. I guess the only major difference in that respect is the city of Qarth. No real idea why Robb's wife has a different name in the novels and in the TV series. I know they changed Theon's sister's name because of how close it was to Osha.

[whiteyford]

Honestly haven't noticed that many changes, certainly none that have leaped out at me as series ruining changes, more certain characters not being as developed but like ECG said, it's for the benefit of the show.

[Lock Jaw]

The whole bit with Arya and Tywin Lannister last season wasn't in the books, and it was pretty fantastic stuff.

What STD said reflects my opinion, though id like to add there are far less significant events in the first book that needed to be shot, so Id assume more time for other stuff to be put in, with this season there are a lot of significant happenings so things really need to be condensed.

Wish they would just extend to a 52 week season.

The whole bit with Arya and Tywin Lannister last season wasn't in the books, and it was pretty fantastic stuff.

I had a love hate view on that because as cool as it was, I hate when things are added when other canon stuff was left out.

[Blitz]

Great ep tonight. Last scene was masterfully done.

Missandei is as good an argument for aging up the characters from the books as I've seen, little in love.

[Innovator]

I really just can't wait for the Red Wedding to see Catelyn die

She gives a really sensual blowjob

[RP]

She takes huge one too. I'm impressed. What a filthy whore.

[RP]

amazing ass but clearly she has a no facial rule because I cant find one where she takes it in the face.

What a filthy little scum

[RP]

she did threesome's too! One's called Roman Sex shower. Joffrey is gunna be peeeesed.

[RP]

if she takes double load shot to the face in this one, i'll be in love.

[RP]

nope..

impressed none the less

[RP]

I love the Kingslayer, but i dont understand where they're going with him. The entire series seems as though people kind of mock him and think he's a coward or something, but then you get scenes where people talk about his legendary sword skills. So i'm watching, thinking, Jaime is the reluctant hero who's about to rise to the occasion and prove how much of a bad ass he is.... then he gets his hand cut off...

I'm going to be pretty annoyed if Jaime doesnt become some incredible one hand swordsman. I'm also going to be kind of annoyed if he doesnt fist fuck every one of these dudes with his severed hand.

The guy playing Jaime is fantastic. These last two episodes, listening to him talk. The acting. The writing of the character. It's all been fantastic. Then they chop his hand off...

[Miotch]

Had to go and download a whole different copy just for the last minute.

It would be pretty brilliant if HBO just started leaking fucked up copies of the show to try to screw with the pirating community.

I say this a lot, but I think he's one of the most admirable characters in the series, honestly. The books really humanize him while respecting the fact that he was an incredible fighter.

You get to see his perspective a lot clearer and get to really know what was going through his head when he killed the mad king. People in Westeros are so caught up with this facade of honor that doesn't mean shit once you're dead, that they can't appreciate how truly grateful they should have been toward him. He knowingly dishonored himself and his family because of the kind of man he was that he couldn't stand idly by with all that he had heard and seen the king do. He took action, not seeking fame for what would ultimately earn him the nickname of Kingslayer, but because he truly believed what he was doing was right. Unfortunately, he will forever be known as Kingslayer.

At least, that was my understanding of his perspective. It's been a bit since I've read them now, and I realize my knowledge is starting to fade a bit.

One of my favorite parts is later when he is reading through the pages of the kingsguard ledger, or whatever it is. The history of each of the kingsguard, anyways.. and he reads through Ser Barristan's entry and there's all these things of note. And he realizes his legacy is that he was a Kingslayer. He's done nothing else of note, and everything that was, was completely overshadowed by what he had done to the king. You can see the gears turning, as if he really wants to right himself and create a legacy worth remembering.

Again, that's a shaky memory of what I read. It's been a while now and I can't recall the exact details.

Also Robert Baratheon is still alive and becomes King of the Iron Islands.

[Fignuts]

Coming from you, I figured it was a joke, but given how invested I've become in this series, I had to be sure.

Almost at the end of Storm of Swords, and I must say, I can't think of another author who has such a knack for creating vile, contemptuous characters.

lol yes.

Keep having these inner conflicts where I'm like "Hey Jaime Lannister doesn't seem like a bad guy afterall."

Then the other side of my brain says"HE PUSHED AN 8 YEAR OLD OUT A WINDOW YOU IDIOT"

None of that with Joffery though. He's a cunt, through and through.
Actually kind of disappointed in his death. Surely, the way he went wasn't very pleasant, but given what a vile wretch he was, I expected something a bit more gruesome.

Love badass Daenerys so much more than whining Daenerys. Also she's one of like 5 or 6 characters I know the name of, so I hope she lasts til the end.

[RoXer]

I can't come into this thread anymore. I click spoilers because I'm all caught up on episodes and something is spoiled for me further on in the books. Oh well. I like this show and I just started the 3rd book. The books are good but can become a chore to get through in certain sections.

Goodbye threadreaders! :wave:

To be honest I have already spoiled shitloads of stuff for the books and therefore potentially the TV series for myself, but oh well. Hasn't meant I've enjoyed the series any less.

[Requiem]

Man I don't know how the fuck he thought he could hatch such a plan without any consequences!!! Fucking stupid

He trusted that the Karstarks would be honorable and stay because their leader was a traitor.

Yeah, I don't necessarily think he 'knew' they would stay. I think he had to take the chance because Karstark forced his hand. He put Rob in a bind and forced him to make a decision that any honorable man in his position would have had to think very hard about. In the end, he did what his father would have done. Granted it had severe short-term consequences, but imagine the reputation hit in the long run if he had given him a slap on the wrist?

Instead, he did what he knew was right. Karstark had betrayed his trust with an emotional decision to murder two Lannister boys against the King's will. I can't really fault Rob at all for his decision. Would Karstark truly have respected Rob if he gave him a slap on the wrist? You could see the disrespect brewing immediately when he was brought in to face Rob. He acted like he knew exactly what was coming; a slap on the wrist from the pathetic king who wouldn't give him what he wanted.

This is slightly similar to the Umber situation, except that Umber had the good sense to know when he was put in his place and to pay respect when it was due. Karstark had a chance to put his faith in the King and trust that when the time came, he would have his revenge where it mattered; on the battlefield. Instead, he just gave the Lannisters the upper hand by getting himself beheaded and Rob losing his army and lords. Karstark did exactly the opposite of what he intended, by being a hotheaded idiot.

Losing half your army isn't exactly a 'short term consequence'.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He's a Stark. Honour before everything.

Feel like Tywin Lannister and Olenna Tyrell might be the only smart characters on the show. Everyone else seems to do dumb stuff all the time while thinking they are smart/honourable.

Littlefinger is smart, unfortunately. That sly bastard...

Book spoiler:That fucker is brilliant. He started this entire series of events by getting Lysa to poison Jon Arryn, causing a chain reaction of people blaming other people and people preemptively reacting to that blame even though they didn't do it.

Also, Varys is smart enough to know everything about everyone while still managing to appear neutral to all of them.

[VSG]

lol ya, Baelish is ridiculously dangerous and it seems only Varys knows it apart from Sansa now after book 5 of course

FYI, there's no fucking with Littlefinger. That mutherfucker is vicious and ruthless. Wanna feel bad for Theon, but then I remeber how much of a shit he was leading up to this season.

[Requiem]

Episode spoilers Wow, that brief scene with Joffrey and Ros was brutal. Totally didn't expect it, and she's been such a pleasant addition to the show, such a nice person, a whore working her way up from nothing. She had Lord Baelish to protect her, and then as soon as he's done with her he moves on and she has nothing again.

Wow.. just seeing that and realizing who it was made my jaw drop. Made me hate that cunt of a boy even more.

Edit: Its been brought to my attention that I missed what really happened. Apparently Littlefinger found out that she had been a spy for Varys and sold her back to Joffrey. Wow. :(

[Innovator]

Knowing Joffrey, he probably saved the arrow to the chest for last.

[coldhardtruth]

Are chicks still getting their shit pushed in with bedposts at the demand of 12 year old boys on this show?

[Lock Jaw]

I have loved every scene in this show where Varys and Littlefinger have had occasion to be alone and converse.

[Requiem]

Knowing Joffrey, he probably saved the arrow to the chest for last.

I was reading a post on reddit that drew connections between some of the scenes this episode too.

Arya shooting her arrows at the straw man in the same places that joffrey shot Ros. Both for the same purpose, but both with different intentions and reasons.

The 'skinning' argument between the two women and Theon being skinned.

And more, but I can't think of them and I lost the comment.



But ugh.. that scene literally made me instantly sick to my stomach. I could watch Theon get flayed because he deserved it. It was cringe-worthy and you feel bad for him after the last couple episodes revealed an aspect we didn't get to see in the books. But seeing that brief reveal of what Joffrey did made my stomach drop and feel genuinely sad. :(

[VSG]

So wait, is that guy really a Karstark or did he lie about his identity/place they were as well? Anyone who has read the books understands why I ask this.

[Lock Jaw]

He said he lied.

[VSG]

Yes, but was it just about him promising not to hurt Theon or everything?

Yeah, he is definitely Ramsay Bolton, the Bastard of Bolton. I liked the little hint also when he told Theon 'That would be quite the hunt' when talking about the Stark boys, because part of his whole thing was live hunts followed by torture, rape, and dismemberment, which Roose 'tolerated' and 'chided' him for but never really cared about. His comment is a little more twisted when you realize he's not interested in hunting them simply to find them.

Also, the Bolton's sigil http://www.todd-a.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bolton-sigil-640x328.jpg

That bit in the tunnel was fucking brilliant.

[Requiem]

Also the scene where he lies is so much more fucked up since you know who he is. He is toying with Theon in twisted fashion, leading him on to believe that he's guessed right. Actually acting disappointed that he figured it out, when in reality he didn't guess anything. Then he pops up suddenly.. man, just standing so abruptly like that is enough to make your skin crawl when you know what he's about to do to Theon.

I love how that starts off.

Joffrey: "You mean if I wanted to attend a meeting, I would have to climb all the stairs to the tower of the hand?"

*Tywin pauses and then dramatically takes his time walking up the stairs to the throne*

One of my favorite moments of the show right there.

Is this Theon stuff from Book 5, or is the show just making things up? I've read the first four books. Kind of holding off on the fifth if only for the fact that the "mass market" paperback isn't out yet.

Do you really want spoilers? Ok, here are spoilers below if you really want to know.

In the books, we never get to see these events take place. They are however alluded to, and we are introduced to a certain character at a later date with a name we don't recognize. Further spoilers:We are introduced to a character named Reek. It rhymes with weak. Further further spoilers Reek has been tortured extensively, doesn't remember who he is, has had his fingers flayed, been castrated, generally treated like an animal by the psychotic Bastard of Bolton, Ramsay Snow. Further further further spoilers Reek, we find out, is actually Theon.

Got a little confused location-wise. I thought Castle Black was at the top of The Wall or at least located at The Wall. They've climbed The Wall and now they're making their way to Castle Black!?

[Innovator]

The wall is very very long with a shitload of castles.

Technically speaking.

But they seem to have gone from frozen plains to grassy terrains. I thought both sides of The Wall were freezing. Also, where is The Wall. Don't remember seeing it behind them!?

Something I've been wondering for a while:

How is this show directed? Each episode is attributed to a single director yet there are scenes set all across the fictional land and filmed across various locations. Surely they film all of the scenes in a specific location at one time rather than flying various directors all over Europe and suspending production?

[RP]

I loved the last episode, but I dont like Jamie Lannister the Diplomat. I mean, I was really expecting him to push that fuck in the pit with that bear and then just walk off like a bad ass.

Read an article a couple weeks ago. Home base for the bulk of the seasons is filmed in Northern Ireland. Wall scenes are in Iceland. But these days since they're exploring more lands in they book, the production crews have hit Morocco, Malta, and Croatia.

Also, there's 3 production teams scattered across the continent/world shooting at the same time, codenamed "Dragon", "Wolf", and "Raven". 257 cast members, 703 crew members total. (credit to wikipedia.com)

I assume all production team heads report to whoever is directing the episode and he/she eventually calls the shots.

I think when naming these characters, he must've had a smartphone and tried typing a bunch of normal names when drunk, and whatever his tubby fingers produced on the screen would be their name.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Something I don't get. I heard the ending scene of this episode is the reason they wanted to make the series. Why do it different than the book if it's their most important scene?



Why was Robb's wife there? She misses the wedding as to not draw attention to her.

There are many theories that she was whisked away due to her supposedly being pregnant, suspected because of conflicting descriptions of her hips before and after she slept with Robb.

I would guess then, that it was done to dismiss such theories.

Also, that made me feel sick to my stomach.

They didn't do it different. With the exception of Talisa being there, and a couple of other minor things, it was bang on.

I would assume it was done to create more empathy for the Starks/hatred of the Freys/Boltons/Lannisters.

See my spoiler, it gives a strong case to why she was there.

[Blitz]

I did see your spoiler. I really don't think Martin did it for no other reason than to dissuade a fan theory that had very little to it to begin with.

[El Fangel]

I don't think so either to be quite truthful, but what other reason would there be to include her in the episodes events in that state?

It made no point to hide it, since they openly talk about it. Then, well...

I don't really agree with the scene in the books and in the show, but I can admit that it is powerful stuff in both. I can see why Martin would have found it "necessary" to do, or whatever, though.

[VSG]

lol it is his world to manipulate as author, so there isn't really anything to "agree with" here.

[Lock Jaw]

I was not trying to infer that he had to run it past me, and that my personal opinion matters to him.

[El Fangel]

lol it is his world to manipulate as author, so there isn't really anything to "agree with" here.

As an executive producer, it had his approval. No one has any right to bitch about how it should have been done. He quite obviously saw that it fit his story well enough to go with it.

[Requiem]

Read that George Martin wrote this scene last in the book. He skipped it when he was writing, finished the rest of the book and then came back to it. Also said he purposely didn't want to be involved too much in this episode because it hurt so much to write the first time that he just couldn't do it again. That's why he didn't write this episode like he has for a couple through the show's life, and like people thought he would since it is such an important episode.

I think the show did it justice though.


Sounds like Lock Jaw just doesn't agree with this happening at all, not necessarily any differences. So what is it you don't agree with?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Heavy loading most of A Storm of Swords into this season. All of Dany's story from the book is pretty much complete.

So,



Since she's not even in book 4 is this the last we will see of Dany for two full seasons? I don't like the sound of that at all.

I'm assuming they will combine the events of Book 4 and 5 into the same seasons. The events in the books take place concurrently, and eventually combine somewhere through Book 5. They're just split into two books because there was so much content that he decided to split them like that.

[Lock Jaw]

Sounds like Lock Jaw just doesn't agree with this happening at all, not necessarily any differences. So what is it you don't agree with?

I just really vehemently disliked the decision to kill off Robb and Catelyn. After reading like two and a half books, the driving impetus behind the whole thing felt to me for the remaining Stark clan to finally reunite and to give the Lannisters some comeuppance (perhaps with the help of Danaerys). Gets you all invested in the characters and then kills them off for little return other than the "shock factor", and a big part of the reason to actually keep reading the series is gone.

[Requiem]

I never felt there was any singular plot driving the world or the books. There are so many stories happening, and we still have Starks left who are all performing their role in this whole world-altering struggle going on right now.

The Starks are obviously the 'hero' types, and we want to root for their family as they struggle to get by and as horrible things happen to them. But the rest of the people in the world are just as important. It's sort of the whole point of the series really - life happens, things don't always work out the way you hope. What goes around doesn't always come back around. They made a lot of stupid mistakes (Ned and Robb) based on values they put ahead of others. Were they wrong? No, but look how far it got them.


We get to see the contrast of that in people like the Freys, Boltons, and Lannisters. Money and power is worth more than just living and loving to these people. Even their own families are practically expendable at the drop of a hat.

Chances are, they may include bits and pieces from her, remember that the show doesn't necessarily have to follow the narrative of the books since you are reading some POV chapters that may have took place a long time before the previous chapter.

No it isn't. If you think characters you love dying is something that will cause you to stop reading, best do so now because if you think its all sunshine and lollipops later, you are sadly, sadly mistaken.

The Starks of course are looked at as the main plot characters, mostly due I think to the actions of Jaime setting off the chain of events. However that isn't to say that nothing would have happened without him showing Bran out the window.

The major plot of the series is Ice vs Fire. Whatever else is going on in Westeros and Essos is going to play second fiddle to Dragons and the White Walkers.

[Requiem]

I personally think it is just fantastic writing. If you really pay attention to the details, you can see it coming so long ago. It's like everyone secretly hopes that people wont receive consequences for making stupid decisions. We all want the happy storybook ending all the time, and here is a series that just won't give it to us. Characters are forced to live with every decision they make, good or bad. Others are just bystanders in those decisions and are affected by them.

Robb wasn't even TRYING to become king. He was trying to exact vengeance on the Lannisters for his father. There was his first mistake. It was a war of passion, not one where he bothered to really think about what he was doing and what it would lead to. He was fighting passionately against people who are thinking critically and treacherously to stop him. They were fighting for totally different reasons, and his just happened to keep him from doing what it took to truly be King. He thought once it was all over he could just hand the city over to someone and go back north and live the rest of his days. Come on, that's too perfect. That kind of shit never happens realistically.
