Game of Thrones

[Buford The Sly]

Hmm. I could see it.

Spoiler

Of course, that could just as easily be the scene at the end of the season where Littlefinger betrays Ned and Ned is captured in the throne room.

Spoiler

Yeah, but Brandon was strangled to death trying to save his Dad from burning. And the producers confirmed were getting Aerys when asked about this screen capture.

Catelyn's chapters in the book are putting me to sleep

 

[ChickenScratch]

Kat's chapters get good, wait till you get the interactions with her sister.

As for Jamie, I would never call him a villain as someone above does. He's a Lannister, the richest family in all the kingdoms, they have a superiority thing going on. Just like every other character, he's looking out for his own.

This is funny to me because she has probably the pivotal POV chapter in the whole series so far [BLACKOUT]in book 3[/BLACKOUT]. So yeah, they get better.

He appears pretty villainous toward the beginning of the series. But yeah, he's never really a villain.

Spoiler

Although I still didn't quite like him until he realized Cersei never loved him and he started finding himself drawn to Brienne. I really love Brienne.

 

[DACrowe]

This is a great show. But to avoid spoilers I rarely come in here and when I do I still can't read anything because it is all blacked out.

So, I like the show and wish I could join this discussion.

 

[conan69]

I wish they'd show more of the pale blonde queen's storyline (I am horrible trying to remember names in this show :/). Her pregnancy seems to have happened so quickly...same with her now apparently "loving" relationship based on the way she and the king now look together.

More time has passed than it seems in the show. I thought Bran was in a coma for a month, so Id guess 6 weeks have passed since the first episode.

Am I correct in assuming that guys?


edit:Just saw Bufords post saying about 2 months.

 

[Paroxysm]

People who've read the books should talk about the books in the book thread, that way they won't spoil anything when talking about future events.

There's more book talk here than show talk.

As long as people are putting events from the books in spoilers I don't see what the problem is. I like to see people's theories who haven't read them so post away I won't say anything unless asked.

Understandable given that there are about 3,500 pages' worth of book material vs. 3 episodes' worth of show material...

 

[Prison Mike]

I'm starting to like the relationship between Daenerys and Khal Drogo. And I loved the scene where Viserys got put in his place. (Thank god for imdb otherwise I would be lost with the character names!)

Lmao I'm like that too.

I'm sorry, I thought this was a thread to discuss the show. My mistake.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It is. A lot of what happens in the show is connected to what happens in the books. Talking about one pretty naturally leads to talking about the other.

 

[Raiden]

He appears pretty villainous toward the beginning of the series. But yeah, he's never really a villain.

I think this is surprising considering what he did to Bran.

Um yeah there is that little issue.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, people do plenty of terrible things in this series, both the "good guys" and the "bad guys." Mainly because one of Martin's greatest strengths (and, I hope, one that translates to the show really well) is that he's incredibly good at making very complex characters that can't comfortably fit within such simple constraints.

That's why I'm going to avoid this thread for now on. Thanks for keeping this fair.

Well its working well for Jaime Lannister.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep. They're showing a bit of it with everyone already. Robert's a pretty decent guy except for his utter hatred of anyone who happens to be named Targaryen, whether they're still children or not. Cersei's kind of a b****, but she was being totally genuine when she shared the pain of losing her first child with Cat. Even Ned, who's about as honorable and "good" as anyone you're likely to see in the series, freely admits to having a bastard son.

There's nothing unfair about it. People are posting in spoiler tags; don't click on them. Simple.

 

[Poeman]

everyone has a weakness in their traits

Surely not everyone has redeemable values, such as Joffrey, right?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, not overt ones, I suppose. But put yourself in Joffrey's shoes and you can see how he got to be the way he is. He's been told from the moment he was born that he'd grow up to be the most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms, plus his mother clearly spoils the hell out of him on top of that, as we saw in this past Sunday's episode.

 

[ChickenScratch]

I think this is surprising considering what he did to Bran.

Easily explained with the line "The things I do for love." He would never do that under regular circumstances.
