Season 2 teaser of Game of Thrones

Stannis baby!

This is simply awesome.

I can't wait to see the Lannisters vs Stark battle, as well as Jon Snow & the other men of the Black who went to search for Ben Stark. Oh, and Tyrion being the Hand...so many things to look forward to in Season 2.

Three Horns sound in the Trailer

Love the subtle nod to book fans.

One blast - Night's Watch returning ... Two blasts - Wildlings ... Three blasts - Change your undies cause [BLACKOUT]Walkers are coming...[/BLACKOUT]

Spoiler

However all that doesn't come down till book 3.

Spoiler

Wasn't that in the prologue of book 3? They could end season 2 with that. It makes a better cliffhanger than opening, IMO. Plus it gives them more time in the season 3 premiere to cover more.

Spoiler

I won't have a problem if they end the second season like that, the second and the third book overlap each other anyway and as much as the book's end from Bran's POV is good having a cliffhanger like that would leave viewers wanting more.

They could always pull a Marvel and have a post-credit ending.

 

[Sawyer]

Goddammit, they should've come out with the DVD for the holiday season.

Need. This. Now!

They've talked about how some of the chronology may be changed around a bit by taking chapters from ASOS and putting them in season 2 like they did in the last episode of season 1 with Arya so it's entirely possible they'll do that.

Spoiler

Apparently the Reeds and Reek/Ramsay are missing from the cast this season so I'm thinking what happens at Winterfell will be spread into season 3 a bit.

I like what you are saying..

Spoiler

End Season 2 with Walkers..start season 3 with sack of winterfell..or maybe end season 2 with the sack of winterfell..but have the effects etc in season 3

Well what I'm thinking is going to happen on the show is this: (WARNING MASSIVE SPOILERS HERE)

Spoiler

They will end the Winterfell stuff with Theon taking Winterfell in about episode 8 or 9. Then end that thread with Asha/Yara coming to Winterfell to tell him that the Ironborn are not going to be sending him reinforcements. I also think Bran, Rickon, Hodor and Osha might encounter the Reeds during their escape attempt or maybe they come to "rescue" them and take them to the crypts. Then all the green seeing stuff would happen on their way to the wall. I think that makes their journey a bit more eventful than in the book. However Bran may not have much to do this season. There is a problem with this theory because if Cat lets Jaime go this season, part of that was reaction to what goes down in Winterfell.

 

[Poeman]

Blackwater is where it should end.

 

[Buford The Sly]

Blackwater is where it should end.

Well we know Blackwater is episode 8 which is the one GRRM wrote and Neil Marshal directed. [BLACKOUT]I'm betting it's also the House of the Undying episode.[/BLACKOUT] Big episode for season 2.

Spoiler

That makes sense with Bran. They don't really do much on the way to the wall in ASOS. The biggest thing I can recall happening is when they're at that tower and Summer attacks the wildlings. I loved that part.

That part should be very interesting in the show.

Spoiler

That's also when Jon escapes the Wildlings and Bran wargs Hodor.

GoT with 2 SAG nominations:

[Matt]

So I just started watching this, I flew through season one on demand. Good show. I knew that Ned died, but I expected it in the finale. I really hope Joffery gets what is coming to him in season 2. I gotta admit, I didn't love the finale. It felt like episode 9 was the finale and episode 10 was an epilogue of the season.

I kind of agree with you, but you gonna admit

Spoiler

that seeing Drogo died and then witness a dragon resting on the shoulder of Daenerys Targaryen were almost as powerful as the beheading of Ned Stark in the finale.

Without a doubt...That was more of a jaw-dropping scene

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Plus, Ned is really a minor character in the entire series whereas Daenerys is one of the most important. It means more to end it with her than Ned's death.

Oh, slow down there bud. I was of a mind to kill Joff after reading the first one too. But he does serve a purpose in the game and GRRM does do interesting and great things with him in his arc. Don't rush it, it's all good moving forward.
