HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ Dominates Sunday Night Cable Ratings
BY: Richard Long Published: April 25, 2011

More than 2 million viewers watched the second episode of the hotly anticipated fantasy series from George R.R. Martin’s popular book.

The second episode shows Bran Stark surviving the fall as his mother watches by his bed.

“You’re not supposed to be here, no one’s supposed to be here,” a shady looking man sent by the Royal family told Bran’s mother.

The man begins to attack, but a direwolf saves Bran and his mother.

“Everyone dies,” Dan Spalding, a resident of San Francisco who operates an independent comic book store, told Politically Illustrated. “This is the beginning - expect death and betrayal at every turn from George R.R. Martin.”

“The book series is filled with sex, death and treachery – perfect for everyone!”

One of the best intros ever to be made for a tv show

 

[Joker's Lackey]

Agreed.

Spoiler

I really love this show. The only complaint I have is showing us what Bran saw, and Bran waking up at the end of episode 2.

Spoiler

Also I worry about this show's longevity. Ned, Kat, the King, Rob, the Khal and so on and so on get killed. Wonder how this show will do with Mamoa, Bean and the rest gone?

Spoiler

it will be fine...Littlefinger, Jon, Tywin, Jaime, Brienne, Cersei, and most importantly TYRION...The show will be in good hands. Not to mention the Clegane bros.

Gonna be great.

Non of that is anything we have to worry about guys. You know certain characters come into their own as others fade or even disappear.

Can't wait till around episode 8 or 9 when things get really ugly. I imagine people will be outraged, some might even quit watching.

Most likely all the Twilight, Vampire/werewolves lovers fans

Yeah, and they'll probably nab someone pretty popular for Stannis, Melisandre, or Davos. So many interesting characters that haven't even shown up yet.

Liam Neeson for Stannis or Davos

I wish I have read the books so I'll know what you're talking about.

Tilda Swanton for Melisandre?!

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah, now that the show is out there and people see how high quality it is, they shouldn't have any trouble finding some great actors for some of the upcoming characters.

 

[ChickenScratch]

What's stopping you from reading them?

 

[Kaleb]

I did something that I havnt done in a long long time, I purchased the first book.

 

[Maximus One]

Does anybody else get a Carnivale-esque feel from this? Like the intricacy of the plot and complexity of the character dynamics plus the broodish mood and atmosphere.

 

[Buford The Sly]

Tilda Swanton for Melisandre?!

Crockett may like this. This is my Melisandre.

Good on ya. You'll like them. It's an investment but worth it. The first two are great but just wait till you get to the third one...

 

[Raiden]

What's stopping you from reading them?

I just ordered the books from Amazon, but because it's free shipping I won't get them until next month at the earliest.

Don't think I could get sick of watching this

After finished watching ep 2, I want to do the slapping myself.

Btw, can anyone tell me why

Spoiler

Catelyn Stark was going to King's Landing? I thought she wanted to go there because her husband Ned was there, but he's back at their keep. Just wondering who she was going to tell about her suspicion about the assassin who went after her comatosed son.

Can't wait to see ep 3.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Spoiler

Are you sure Ned was back at his castle ? When the direwolf incident happened they were at a village on the way to King's Landing I think

Question of my own : why Ned daughters were with him on the road to King's Landing ?

Question for those who know the story ( answer by yes or no please, no details )

Spoiler

Is Jon Snow the son of Ned and the Queen ( before she was Queen maybe ) ?

 

[Buford The Sly]

Now this is classic!

Spoiler

I think I figured it out; Arya was with her father, who's on their way to King's Landing. I thought Arya was back in the castle.

Btw, I feel terrible for the Lady.

The King's entourage was at an Inn or another keep on the way back to Kings Landing, not at Winterfell. She's racing to Kings Landing to tell Ned what happened herself.
