Game of Thrones

[Titan76]

To me it's pretty much just a bunch of old men telling Snow not to be stupid (naive).
They keep building up the danger of the North and all that but we havent seen anything and im getting worried that this might not turn out like the build up it's getting.

In fact, i was more interested in what his wolf was doing than the rest of the stuff. The girl part was pretty predictable. If he would have killed her then that would show that he is learning something from the old men but he didnt.

I think it also has to do with the fact that what is going on in the South is so interesting i dont want to get off it.
I really like seeing the transfer of information.
How Robb's army is riding on wolves simply because he is seen with one. Or when Renly was really killed with magic, or some magical thing, no one believes that and people just think it was an assassin sent by Stannis or Cat.

The first book(season) introduces us to the Night's Watch, the Wall, and what life is like up there. The second book(season) does pretty much the same thing expect, its with the North beyond the Wall and the Wildlings. The next book, which is going to be split up into two season, is when the heavy action is going to start. To me, the story of the Night's Watch was the best part of the third book, next would be Dany's story.

The only complaint I have so far with this season, is the lack of direwolves and dragons. This was the first episode where we finally got to see Shaggydog and it was for a brief second. The direwolves rarely left the Stark's side(expect for Nymeria of course, and at time Ghost), and not seeing them with them is starting to get annoying.

The only dragon we have seen so far this season is Drogon, it would be nice to see the other two as well. So far, the Mother of Dragons has barely been seen with her dragon(s).

Really? Season 2 Blu-Ray is already in the crafting process?
Any chance they release it before 2013?

So for the first boxset is my favourite blu-ray purchase, can't imagine it being easily topped!

So... Cillian Murphy for Ramsay? Can someone start a petition?

Don't have all the answers and they probably wouldn't let me say if I did, but we're definitely working on it! :D

And of course it can be topped because now RAY DILLON is on it!!!! HA! Kidding! (...Totally not kidding...) (or am I?)

Clearly the elder bolton should be played by this man

[Blueferret]

Clearly the elder bolton should be played by this man

I agree. He's at his best when he's going nuts.

[Marie August]

Talisa isn't Talisa for fuck sakes.
Sometimes HBO are able to be subtle.

I can't believe some of you completely missed the point of the scene between "Talisa" and Robb.
spoilers:

"HERP DERP it's confirmed she's not Jeyne"

end of spoilers

This says that "In the TV series [Jeyne] is replaced by a character called Talisa of Volantis played by Oona Chaplin. "

DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK. CONTAINS SPOILERS.

I agree. I believe she's lying spoilers:

and she may be revealed as a Lannister bannerman (if not a Westerling).

end of spoilers Robb is even calling her out on it, he called her a liar and told her he could tell she was of noble birth.

If that turns out to be true, I will stop being displeased with the change.

[dupersuper]

Doesn't make it better.

I'd say it makes it a little better...

[Evil Sneak]

I somewhat abashedly admit that that was one of my first thoughts, too.

Yeah, mine too. I also noticed how absolutely silky smooth her legs seemed. No hair or scars.

[Vibranium]

If that turns out to be true, I will stop being displeased with the change.

I'm sure the path HBO is taking on this makes sense in the long run

I think its hard to tell at this point. Tywin and Arya don't have any scenes in the book so book-readers won't be able to clarify anything. I think Tywin suspects something of his cupbearer--that perhaps she seems far too intelligent and clever for being a simple common folk--but I don't think he may believe straight away that it's Arya herself. Unless he's been told offscreen by a raven from Tyrion, I don't think Tywin even knows Arya Stark is missing from the Red Keep.

I don't think they ever met before. he suspects something but he can't put his finger on it.

Littlefinger would recognize her, and I a pretty sure he did but kept that information to himself.

How Game OF Thrones Season 1 should have ended.

Also, did we completely skip spoilers:

the dead city?

the dead city?

end of spoilers

Yeah, they just moved past that.

On the spoilers:

Jeyne Westerling

end of spoilers thing, I don't think it's completely outside of the realm of possibility that Talisa may be her. In the books, spoilers:

Robb and Jeyne meet because he is grievously injured, and she nurses him back to health once it's determined that her "witch" healer grandmother has died.

end of spoilers So, the character is similar in that regard, even if the timeline is different.

[Jared]

I'm not sure what to think with the show addition of dragon-theft. I guess it's because in the book, not much actually happens in Qarth. But at this rate Dany is going to be out of Blood Riders soon.

I immediately assumed that Tulisa was not her real name.

[Omega Alpha]

I'm not sure I see the point in changing the spoilers:

Talisa/Jeyne storyline. In the book, although we don't see them until they're married, Jeyne is just a naive, innocent girl that ends up attracting Robb in a difficult time for him and in which he's grieving- a way of running away from all the complications and difficulties of war and being a king. You could see why he falls for her easily. I fail to see why this "she's a spy or lying her identity or whatever" thing is necessary

I'm guessing it's so they didn't have to create another location. Because it's one thing to jump ahead like that in the books, but television fans like to see things happen.
