Winter Is Coming...The Game of Thrones Thread *spoilers*

[mystima]

Yeah I would have been WTF!!! Is that a Freaking Shade?

On a lighter note, November is coming

[Shannon]

lol I like it.

[John Blaze]

I'm upset they cut Jojen and Meera. WTF? They're a big part of the books. IDK if they don't plan on there being a season 4 but something is missing.

[Bethany]

From Squidoo:
Meera Reed & Jojen Reed These characters entered the storyline of Clash of Kings later. HBO may put their storyline off until season 3. They may announce them later, or may have an already introduced character. (Osha) take over their part in the story.

So I don't think anyone really knows what will happen with them.

[mystima]

I would have passed out half way through tonight's episode if i did this

[velcro_fly]

Great episode tonight, only...

Dany's dragons being stole? WTF

[Empath of the White]

I could watch Tyrion slap that vicious idiot all day.

[John Blaze]

I could watch Tyrion slap that vicious idiot all day.

Ditto.

Also, not sure where they're going with the stolen dragon bit. Where was Mormont? I'm guessing there may have been an attack and he is the one moving them to keep them safe. Otherwise, IDK. Maybe the Warlocks stealing them?
Also, Dany is coming off as a stupid temperamental powerless child in the show, and it's not what I got from the books at all. I wonder where they're going with this.

[Bethany]

I got the impression that it was the dude with the blue lips, from the robe and scrawny legs. I don't know where they are going with this at all.

I'm guessing that

book spoilers

I'm guessing that they're setting it up in such a way to merge the Dany going into the Temple of the Undying arc + her conflict with ... whoever the hell she ends up being in a conflict with at the end of A Clash of Kings (JB help me out here) lol.

Also, Dany is coming off as a stupid temperamental powerless child in the show, and it's not what I got from the books at all. I wonder where they're going with this.

Actually, the vibe I get from her from the books is precisely that of a tempermental child that's a bit out of her depth at times (I liked the conversation she had with the ship owner yesterday when he asked her specifically what her plan of attack was and she was unable to clarify beyond 'The throne is rightfully mine!'). They're not too far off on the show from what I imagined Dany acting like.

1. Xaro, Whom is being played by the big black dude. Eventually he's gonna get tired of her getting a free ride and not putting out and when she burns down the House of the Undying he kicks her out.

2. In the books she seemed so strong and regal and smarter than she was given credit for, especially the way she had even Mormont and her other councillors(counselors?) convinced she was really gonna trade her dragon.

Also want to point out, Osha has a body on her. Bow chika bow wow! lol. :shamefaced:

[fernandito]

Osha is a babe. Honestly, I would have preferred for her to play Ygritte as she looks a lot like what I pictured her looking / acting like. Fierce, wary, sly. I'm not really thrilled about the actress they got to play Ygritte.

[Ka-mai]

Did anyone else notice Osha never holds her head upright? It's always freaking sideways. Irritating.

I have no idea what HBO is doing, but I don't like any of it. I may stop watching if it keeps getting stupid.

[John Blaze]

IDK, I kinda like Ygritte so far. The butt wiggling part was hilarious. I do think that there are wayyyyyyyyy too many changes in this season. IDK, I could never stop watching though. I'd watch and complain.

[fernandito]

The changes don't bother me, tbh. I knew that books this dense and rich in details and intricacies were going to have to 'suffer' several changes.

So far the series has done a fantastic job of carrying the spirit of the novels to the tv screen.

Also, this past episode was amazing.

[Emily]

I actually really liked the actress playing Ygritte. I've always had a soft spot for that thin lipped, fair skin and red hair kind of look. And I like her voice a lot.

Osha kind of gets on my nerves. I agree about the head tilting thing, it's all I concentrate on when she speaks.

ETA: The Arya/Tywin scenes are some of my favorite scenes in recent television history. I could watch them interact for hours.

[mystima]

I like Osha...especially the actress playing her...after coming off the HP series she has other things to do now....hahaha

[sgc1999]

Ygritte is really cute. They have to merge books 2 and 3 or a lot of main characters would be gone for the whole season and that doesnt work well for television. All in all fun to watch even with the changes.

[Shannon]

"and when she burns down the House of the Undying ..."

Thanks for that.

Very enjoyable episode, everyone is just so. damn. good. in this show. I agree with the above opinion that the Arya/Tywin scenes are great. The tension in the room when the Baylish (?) pimp guy walked in. Whew!

My apologies if I spoiled something for you. It's hard for me to remember that although we discuss the show openly here, we have to spoiler stuff from future books. However, with all the changes this season, it might not even happen that way. Already lots of other stuff she did in the books by this point has been changed/didn't happen in the show. So again, sorry.

Also, if you haven't read the books, WHAT ARE YA WAITING FOR?!

[Merlin1958]

FWIW, spoilers don't bother me much, but that's just me. I'm old and forget alot (LOL) and have not read the books, but I am enjoying the show immensely!! With the books being so well read, and up to what? book 6 or 7? Its kinda hard to have a discussion thread without 'em (spoilers). IDK how you can avoid them, in fairness to others, by coming to this thread. Then again, glad I am not a "Mod"!!!! LOL

[beam*seeker]

I really liked tonight's episode the scene between Arya and Tywin was fantastic. Jaqen H'ghar was really good as well.
I thought they could have done a better job of making the shadow look like Stannis though, I just didn't see it.

Spoiler:

I am a bit upset about them cutting Jojen and Meera and giving Bran the greendreams. I kinda got a feeling that Osha will end up going north with Bran instead. Not sure what they plan to do with Rickon though.

If you guys get to drool over Melisande, I can drool over Jaqen H'ghar. His character was perfect! I can't wait to see the whole story arc with Arya--as long as they follow that pretty closely, they can screw with the other stuff.

Wish they had put Jojen and Meera in--hope they decide to do that.

I admit I was a bit worried after the first 3 episode, but I think they will knock it out of the park. Not sure where they are going with the dragons gone missing but yeah, it could sigue into the whole Pyat Pree thing. I thought the sorceress in the mask who warned Mormont about the danger was good too--I can't recall her name, but she was perfect too.

Loved the scene with Ygritte and Jon. Its getting good beyond the Wall!

[OchrisO]

Goddamn, Rose Leslie is nailing Ygritte so well that it is nearly making me forget that they are mucking up some of the story stuff from the books.

When she finally said "You know nothing, Jon Snow," I literally clapped and cheered.

[sgc1999]

so hot, want to touch the heiny...

[John Blaze]

HAHA, Billy Madison rocks.Oh, Wait. O'DOYLE RULES!

Dude, I cheered out loud. Loving Ygritte.
