Game of Thrones

[Drizzle]

Just as great as the first episode. Direwolves >>>>> True Blood's "werewolves"
Also, Daenerys' slave girl is gorgeous. Is she a recurring character in the books?

Spoiler

yes, she is one of the main characters of the show

I am loving this series...As a fan of the books, I have to love the commitment of the writers and creators. i really love the cinematography as well..Just beautiful so far.

I am hearing episode 5 and 6 is going to be awesome.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

Never read the books, nor do I have any intention on doing so, but I've watched the first two episodes of the show and I'm in love with it!

 

[kvz5]

Great 2nd episode!

I am ready for Sean Bean to kill her

Same here! t:

Daenerys' slave girl looks like Taylor Cole.

 

[FVD]

I just caught both episodes a couple hours ago too. Really looking to check out the books now!!

 

[Superfreak]

been waiting for a show to step up and fill the void in quality genre TV. First two epis have been fabulous... I hope the show can go the distance!!!!

I am ready for Sean Bean to kill her

If only that's the way it worked.

 

[Speedball]

HAHAHA!!! Found this!

 

[Buford The Sly]

Can anyone put in spoiler tags what Sean Bean does when Bran spills the beans if he can ? Does he ignore him because hes a kid or does he leave / kick king & co out etc

That's a little too big of a spoiler. How much time do you have?

Good second episode. I missed Ghost (Jon Snow's Direwolf) a bit but I'm sure he'll show up soon. By the way [BLACKOUT]I sure hope Cersi was lying about what she told Cat, because that would kind of go against the book's version of Cersi.[/BLACKOUT]

My reccomendation...As an avid book fan of this series.

Watch the season first as its already in swing...Then read book 1. I can imagine the insane surprises and things that will happen will just make everyone talk for some time

Spoiler

its a lie...she is trying to let the mother know in her own way that it's okay if your son dies, you will keep on living...Obviously in the books she did some cruel stuff to her and Robert's children (abortion)

Btw that gif shall be used whenever a dumb post hits the forums!

Well then it'll be used a lot because the internet is full a dumb posts.

Not having read the books, I'll need to keep away from this thread.

You guys are posting spoilers left and right!

Ok, but I find that weird. But then I went to college for Literature so reading is really important to me.

Drizzle - Yes she's in the books, but there are many other slave girls. She's eventually given a slave girl with "the most delightful tongue."

A lot of it is unintentional truly. Before 2 weeks ago this thread was only filled with people who have read the books and the occasional weekly "What the hell is this about" from someone else. We spoke freely, now it seems their are constraints. Most of us have lived with the story for years and read them many, many times and with all the characters and complexities you could re-read these books almost infinitely.

As for spoilers from books to movies. I'm always reminded of years ago when LOTR was coming out and some interviewer on E! asked Ian M if he could give any spoilers to the movie, he looked at her and said "My dear, do you know they are published." I see it the same way, it's not a spoiler if it's been out for years, just a person who wants to be spoon fed slowly.

Hah! I knew this would pop soon! Thanks!

I've ordered the 4-book set from Amazon, and it should be arrived next month (thanks to the free shipping). Hopefully I'll have the time to read them although time has been the luxury for me and I don't have alot of it.

Don't forget book 5 in July.

Screw that! It's one thing to compare to the LOTR books, which have been out for decades, versus something like this, that most people don't know a thing about.

It just should be courteous to others to black out some of the juicier spoilers...

 

[ChickenScratch]

A So its time thing? LOTR has been out for decades so its a different issue because these are newer? Nope, I don't agree. Sales figures alone prove that this series is huge, Clancy, Ludlum, Ling huge.

I find having not read them a bit lazy. But as I said I went to college for lit and I work in publishing.

Oh, have not even watched the new one yet, I will see it this evening. 2 big meetings today.

Wow that was an amazing episode. I have no idea where this show is going and I love it. The dwarf is my favorite character (sorry I forgot his name) of the Lannister family. The way he needles his brother at the dinner table, plays with John on the way to the wall or just beats that little brat senseless. Great character. Which is something because of all the families, I think the Lannisters are the most detestable. Incest, child murder, animal cruelty? In two episodes they've crossed off every reason to hate them.

I think it is funny last week ended with a boy getting pushed out a window and no one batted an eye but because a wolf was killed off-screen in this episode people on Twitter and the like are "quitting" on the show. I mean it was sad, but it's not like this was Narnia for the two hours leading up to that.

Anyway, I cna't wait to see what the show does next.

 

[DarthAlani]

This show is awesome

 

[Kaleb]

I just can't get enough of the shows intro.

Wait till they get to the Mountain that Rides (Gregor Glegane). Although I don't think they can or have enough time to get into all the detestable things about him. Definately the Darth Vader of Westeros. Oh, and you can take a guess as to who he works for.

 

[Poeman]

Or the Bellatrix Lestrange (ala harry potter) of the Westeros
