I'm totally in need of some clarification...

That was good. Needed more naked Daenerys in a fire with dragons though.

Totally agree, she wore way too much armor this season and hasn't gotten properly fucked since Drogo.

Still, awesome finale. Bummed that we have to wait almost an entire year.

Going to hibernate, wake me up the day before Season 3 premieres. Thanks.

Daaaaamn that ending. Really hope Sam isn't dead. Kinda like his character. Kinda stretching it if an entire undead army just walks past him without even one stopping to gut him.

Also, who the hell burned Winterfell? Thought the Iron Islanders were gonna hand Theon over to the Northerners on the outside of the gate, and then be let go. As per Robb's orders. I'm sure that if they stopped to set fire to everything, the Northerners would have busted in and killed them all before they could do it. Or did the Northerners just decide to set fire to everything for a lark?

Answers in Book 3, or Season 5 if you desire to wait.

I honestly do not know what to do. Currently reading book 1. It is helping me understand a lot better. I can only imagine how the second book will help me to understand the more convoluted second season.

However, once I finish the second book... I dunno whether I should continue. I kind of like having the "Holy Shit" moments on TV. Then, on the other hand, it would mean waiting two plus years until I can read the third book.

Read on, you still get the Holy Shit moments on TV as (1) you won't remember every single detail from the books after reading 5 books and (2) the TV show is deviating more and more in detail from the books.

I'm holding off on the books until it's all done. Or maybe I'll eventually give in and watch the books for the seasons that have been out so far.

At that rate you will very likely lose interest in this. The last book is not expected in the next 6-7 years at the very least.

THEN SO BE IT. FUCK YOU.

OK :'(

What the hell is the TV show gonna do if they get to that point and the next book isn't out yet?

I doubt that's going to happen. Book 3 will be 2 seasons. We're looking at another 4 seasons before the 6th book needs to be out. The rumor is that the 6th and 7th books are each going to be 1500+ pages. Which means that they could also split them into 2 seasons each if that is the case. So we're looking at a potential 10 seasons of Game of Thrones, which is pretty fucking awesome. A 100 hour fantasy epic.

Have also heard that Martin already told HBO how the series will end in case something happens to him before it is finished.

Really hope all that is true. It could be that HBO really wants another 'namesake' show like The Sopranos, and this would definitely be the way to do it.

which you need to watch btw

Saw part of the first season. Liked it, need to definitely watch more of.

Powered through the 2 seasons in the past few days. And I never get through stuff that quick. Such an amazing show. Bronn is the best character ever. I'd watch an hour of just him and Tyrion bantering. Love Varys too. And I need more Jaqen next season. So much more Jaqen.

I don't remember the last time I saw a show that was this good. Or one that looked this good. Dunno how the fuck they do some of this stuff on a TV budget. The wildfire at Blackwater and the good look at the White Walker both gave me huge chills. So great.

Gonna read all the books now :y:

We got another fan I see :y:

Anyone know when Season 2 is released on DVD in the UK? (answers in a rep please, to avoid spoilers).

No one knows. This is your best shot: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Thrones...9202455&sr=8-3

One of the details I wish they would have kept in season 2. Jaime went into it a little bit.. he mentioned it off-hand in the show. But I feel like this was a really defining point to his character.

Jaqen ghar is by chance my favorite character ever.

I love how in westeros it's all games for a throne but across the sea there is super assassins, dragons, warlocks etc. fuck the war lets take season 3 to bravos.

Also I love bronn and tyrions relationship. Greatness. Fit together so well.

Queen to be tyrell is a fucking nasty ho. Do anything to be queen, including her brothers sloppy seconds....

Also isn't Sansa a bit old to just be getting her first period?

She is only 11 years old in the beginning of the series.

Poor casting then. I figured she was fifteen in the first season

Fucking area looks more like eleven

Nah, ALL the characters are younger in the books than they are in the show. By a couple years I believe.

Dany is 13 in the start of the books. Pretty sure Robb was 14, Jon Snow was 14. Arya is 9. Bran was 10.

In this world, kids mature much faster and it's not uncommon for kids to assume the roles of an adult much sooner in life.

She's 11 in the books, not in the series. Believe she's meant to be about 14 following the aging up of the kids.

Although the whole period thing ties in more with her book age really, guess she's just meant to be a late bloomer.

Bran is 7 in the books. He's younger than Arya.

Just seems like they could have skipped that bit or gone another way. I'm fine Witt the ages they appear in the show. I also accept that ages will be kind of loosey goosey because there's no way the child actors can age at the same rate as the book characters. Someone told me something like that at this point in the books Joffrey went from 14 to 17. So the younGer kids will see age issues. M

Also holy fuck, in real life the actors who play Sansa and arya are like only a few months apart in age. The actress who plays arya is like fifteen. Damn.

Just watched all 20 episodes over the course of a few days. Wish I waited until there was more seasons, but I was bored. Watched it while playing Kingdoms of Amalur cause it seemed appropriate.

Best moment was probably Tonks from Harry Potter going nude. :)

This gets stuck in my head everytime I hear the GoT theme

Love the Jon and Jorah.

More then halfway through A Feast For Crows now. These books are amazing. A Storm of Swords especially.

I finished them all a while ago. They were a good read overall but I think amazing is over-stating it. They drag on an awful lot in the second half of the series and the author has written himself into some massive corners that he probably won't live long enough to write his way out of. It's quite frustrating reading a story knowing that there likely will never be a real resolution.

Shit ton of new season 3 cast members announced for Comic-con.

No Mance Rayder announced yet though, oddly.

lol Dennis Pennis in Game of Thrones.

Nice, looks like we will be getting pretty soon.
