The Qartheen fashion for women leaves one breast exposed:(
will watch for tyrion swagger
I don't really see the series losing steam until it has to deal with AFFC. By then Martin will probably have died without finishing the rest of the books anyway, so it will be a moot point.

I thought the wolf looked fine. Not much happened this episode, but I guess it's got a lot of stuff to setup. I thought it was kind of funny they decided to end the episode with baby slaughtering.
Also, watching this show makes your roomies think you're watching porn.

Just watched Ep 2. How much of that was actually in the book? :lol

Not just that, butspoiler (click to show/hide)Stannis fucking Melisandre. I thought it was implied but never actually written out. And I didn't think Bronn was ever made head of the Gold Cloakes. Other than than, the cum wiping scene was awesome.[close]
It's entirely possible that it's just from where it's been a few months since I read it.
I have to say that the uggo sex, while daunting to watch, was extremely true to the novel. I did appreciate that about it. They went to great lengths to find that fugly of a girl with saggy tits like hers to take her shirt off and basically be a 2-minute soft-core whore.
spoiler (click to show/hide)Bronn being made commander was almost beat for beat the same exact thing as the book. Melisandre and Stannis...heavily implied, yes.[close]
spoiler (click to show/hide)Bronn being made commander was almost beat for beat the same exact thing as the book. Melisandre and Stannis...heavily implied, yes.[close]spoiler (click to show/hide)Bronn wasn'tt made commander, Jacelyn Bywater was; Slynt argues he is too honorable and rigid to be commander, which is why Tyrion chose him. Bronn was tasked with creating a sell sword army for Tyrion. I like this change because it compacts things instead of making people remember another bit character. One could argue it defeats the purpose though: Tyrion specifically chose Bywater because he was honorable. He had to know Bronn would kill a baby if payed, even before asking
Also the episode states Stannis had no children which isn't true. Melisandre confirms she had sex with Stannis on multiple occasions, so that part is true just never shown.[close]
The Blackwater episode, as the director puts it, “is pretty much one long battle, on a much bigger scale than anything in Centurion. I couldn’t believe the scale of production value I had. It was as big, if not bigger, than most features I’ve done: 400 extras, costumes, horses, stunts, fires… We had a full-size galleon to play with and a green-screen set that was doubling as several other ships, and we were setting that on fire and throwing people overboard. Then there’s a Saving Private Ryan-like beach battle, with all these guys getting shot to pieces, an attack on a castle.”
I don't see the point in cutting her out, it's not like she had to be shown. I wanted to see greyscale :'(This.
they looked like large cashews:lol
first episode was awesome, one of my favourite porn actresses played a bit part, I hope they bring her back. Masie DeeGodDAMN. I should have looked who posted that before Google Image searching for it. Jesus.

GoT? With family members? Due to the sex scenes it is now unbelievably awkward. I watch it with my dad and even we grimaced at some of this shit.
Chrono watched S2E2 with family members but didn't feel awkward seeing not only three sex scenes, but a dudes spunk on a chicks face being wiped off? And your main issue was wondering what the hell was going on in the story? EXPLAIN
it was like her boobs were trying to run away from each other:rofl

How am I supposed to get regular people to watch this?
The Shield had a dude who stored tons of his sperm in a fridge and tried to impregnate unwilling women to spread his genes. He was an actuary. Like CajoleJuice
Sucks that the ONLY actuary portrayed on television was a pervert. I can't think of another profession with such bad luck
The jizz on face scene was way too much. Most people don't want to see that shit. I can't think of another mainstream show that's taken it that far, or even shown jizz. I guess Six Feet Under had Nate contemplating his sperm in a used condom after he had just fucked Brenda, but that didn't feel trashy; it was almost philosophical in a weird way.
This is just weird shit. How am I supposed to get regular people to watch this?

The third episode of fantasy drama Game of Thrones’ sophomore season held its ground, holding steady with 3.8 million total viewers at 9 p.m. and adding 776,000 additional viewers with an encore broadcast at 11 p.m.http://winteriscoming.net/2012/04/ratings-hold-steady-once-again/#comment-169215
Sunday’s numbers were on par with last week’s impressive 97 percent retention rate from the Season 2 bow of the series, which has already been renewed for a third season.

I enjoyed it. I'm hoping I get to see Joffery get his comeuppance sometime this season. I don't want to see him grown and mature and regret shit. I want him dead in a manner which humiliates his whole rotten family.
Also kind of an aside, but Davos has like 4 sons in the book. Now he only has 1? What? Why even make that change.

Yeah, not having read the books, that was a big WTF to me. I realize there are dragon pups and zombie people, but for some reason the shadow baby was a bit too hard for me to buy.

All the Arya stuff was great. I love The Tickler, great performance. I also like the change with Tywin at Harenhel instead of you-know-who.

spoilers from this season:spoiler (click to show/hide)I don't like this at all, in the books Arya only glimpsed Lord Tywin from afar and when the time came to claim her deaths she only choose the people that where directly affecting her, it will be hard for me to buy that she won't name his brother's most dangerous adversary while she interacts with him everyday.[close]
I also have the same problem as Beb with the added scenes, 99% of them are garbage and I would rather they would have spent those minutes they wasted with yet another Ros scene( I guess she gives great head) into making the parley scene...good.
And this Asha fucking SUCKS! I can't believe they turned one of my favorite characters into an ugly unfunny tomboy.
I did break my own rule from the OP and I'm sorry but...............spoiler tags are kind of obvious :-\Some people are spoiler tagging stuff that happened in the new episodes for people who haven't watched yet and some are only doing book stuff.

While the fourth episode of this year’s Game of Thrones was yet again mostly steady, delivering 3.7 million for its first airing and 4.6 million overall (up just a tick overall from last week, in fact). Season to date, Thrones is averaging a whopping 10.4 million views on all HBO platforms.

The show is definitely better than the books. All you larpers and other "hard core" fans can stfu and suck on the success. Also, when the books don't get finished because Martin dies and they decide to finish the show, it will become canon! Double suck it!
Since they probably won't show the house of the undying scene I hope they at least let us see Emilia's magnificent ass one more time to compensate.
Knowing HBO they'll take its foreshadowing nature and just amp it up to 1 billion since HBO's viewing populace is dumb, apparently.Since they probably won't show the house of the undying scene I hope they at least let us see Emilia's magnificent ass one more time to compensate.
That scene was shot and will happen in episode..

the magic stuff is a bit surprising. S1 had the looming threat of ice zombies from the first episode, and the end of the season established more super natural elements. Now it's everywhere.

Uh huh yeah noIt's okay to be entirely, completely, and utterly wrong.
I think all the stuff with Dany has been kinda lame. Not because it's different from the books but because it's just silly. The stuff with her this season is better on paper than it is live action.
Can't wait for Danny's quest to save her dragons from the tower of the evil warlocks! ::)Agreed, they have adapted Jon's arc very well this season.
Ygrette is perfect her and the Hound where the only good thing about this episode.
Agreed, they have adapted Jon's arc very well this season.
anyone else tired of Danny yelling how she'll take what is hers with fire and blood at someone and Xaro repeating he is the wealthiest man on Quarth every fucking episode?Yeah. They've made Xaro out to be a much bigger character when really he's completely boring compared to the rest of Qarth and he was kinda gay in the novels so, again, do not understand.

A lot of the changes they're making have me thinking they're aiming for condensing a bunch of stuff for the coming seasons, which makes no sense if they're going to keep following the books at all as Martin will REALLY never finish 6 by the time they're ready to do it if that's the case.

That doesn't happen in the book; she only talks to Dany in the book, and her comments are almost always prophetic, not necessarily "go here and you'll find x"
I really like what they've done with Quaithe (the masked woman). That mask she's wearing makes her eyes really eerie.Imo, her eyes are very, very beautiful
As long as its not anal, you're good. Women will do anal though to preserve their "vaginal virginity" before marriage.
I agree with Sceneman, this show just keeps getting worse and worse. I'll probably just watch it all when it's over if I still feel like it.
You people are deranged, that was probably the best episode of the series yet.
BU BU BU BU THEY CHAAAAAANGED JON SNOW'S STUFF! BU BU BU BU BU BU DANY'S DRAGONS DIDN'T GET KIDNAPPED IN QARTH!!! Fucking self-entitled whiners wouldn't know a good adaptation if it kicked in the door singing Tubthumping and raped them for a solid week.
I agree with Sceneman, this show just keeps getting worse and worse. I'll probably just watch it all when it's over if I still feel like it.
I just find there is never any satisfaction or payoff in any episode. So many threads are unravelling, but in the 7 episodes in this season virtually nothing cool has happened, no one significant has had their ass kicked, and all the annoying POSs are still on my screen blabbering their bullshit. I would pay 10$ for a special episode where Khaleesi's cohort dude pisses in her mouth while rambling in old english. Hence why I'll wait until all the eps are out, and watch then.
And yes I don't know a lot of the characters actual names as they are never mentioned in the show and I'm not a nerbo who has read the books
Lol now people who haven't read the books are bitching too? My only complaint about the last episode is that there wasn't enough Tyrion.
I just can't get enough of Arya. I think that actress deserves an emmy nomination, she's been by far the best this season.
I think Jorah is great. Most of the Dany stuff is often on the edge of cheese, and he manages to elevate every scene he's in.

Probably because that so far in the TV series, Stannis isn't as interesting as his brother was.

holy shit
I haven't read the books. To me it just feels like very little is happening over a long period of time.The books, fourth and fifth aside, have a lot going on continuously but they almost always start out at a slow pace and then ramp up. The show is hurt by having only 10 episodes per season.
I enjoy certain scenes with Arya and Tywin, Arya and The Man, handsome dwarf, Stannis and not so-Jean Reno, and other stuff. What I'm missing is the big picture. I can't describe it well. It's not like I'm not enjoying it since I'm still watching it.
I will say that I've more desire to read the second book than I had for the first book and season.

That was a great episode, I just wish I never watched Season 2 of Spartacus and that final episode, it just kinda set this impossible standard in my head.
The non-battle scenes were out-of-the-park though.
Who was singing "Rains of Castamere" at the end? Gave me fucking chill bumps after that awesome fucking episode.The National
Holy fuck @ that episode. Not just the best episode of Game Of Thrones, that was one of the best episodes of television. I've been hard on this show at times, but that was simply stunning.
I also loved how every time a character was about to start telling a story, they were interrupted. It was almost like Martin trolling lolThat was a great episode, I just wish I never watched Season 2 of Spartacus and that final episode, it just kinda set this impossible standard in my head.
The non-battle scenes were out-of-the-park though.
Wait are you arguing the battle in Spartacus' S2 finale was bigger than tonight's? It wasn't even close in terms of money, extras, or direction. Game Of Thrones just took a giant dump on every (non miniseries) television battle ever
So, wait, after Joffrey goes back to the red keep or crying to his room or whatever, Tyrion tells some fancy armored guy "You'll fight as the king's representative," or something.
Later, that same armored guy is the one who cut Tyrion's face, isn't he?
Episode was pretty much all that and a bag of chips.Uh, the last season of Spartacus was one of the best seasons of TV out there, so... it's pretty much just you trolling.
Also, I would put zephyrfate on ignore cause it's obvious he is just trolling at this point (plus admitted to watching Spartacus as something other than a guilty pleasure) but for some reason ignore seems to have disappeared.
that IS the problem that it happened to a unresolved problem all of a sudden, it is the definition of a deus ex
Is Stannis this baller in the book? He's in front leading everyone else without heavy armor or shield.
Is Stannis this baller in the book? He's in front leading everyone else without heavy armor or shield.Running through arrows with no shield. Having that "hold me back" moment at the end, pretty baws
I thought it was rather obvious why The Hound left the battlefield, and ultimately quit Joffery. He wasn't going out there again with fire everywhere
i didnt even know he was afriad of fire it was poorly written

i knew i remember the doll from somewhere.
without spoiling it is there going ot be any major big plot twists on this next episode and are the book and tv shopw back on teh same apge?
hE NEVER SAYS he's afraid or has a fear of fire you stupid fucking hipster. nothing in the show eludes to him being a big fucking pansy afraid of fire, and being afraid of the equivalent of a small bonfire is even more laugahble.He had half his face melted in a fire, so
this show is horrendous.
w/e you guys defend bad writing all u want its okyou have no idea what bad writing is, so it's okay

no wheres in the show does it say he's afraid of fire. NO WHERE.
Also, as soon as I saw Cersei drinking, I thought, This should be enlightening. And there's NO WAY this will end well. What a raging cunt.

I thought everything she said was true.
God fucking dammit methodis, I am going to pray to a god I don't even believe in that he kill you painfully. First I want your goddamn fingers to fall off due to leprosy or whatever, so we don't have to endure your horseshit on here anymore. Then, in a month or whatever, I want to read an obituary something along the lines of "noted honkey internet troll slowly eaten by venomous moths over a 3 week period, no one cares" because that would be awesome.
I will certainly agree the Hound's backstory isn't prevalent in previous episodes, and in that episode they decided to hit viewers over the head with it multiple times before the battle (him being afraid of the torch, threatening the archers, watching in horror as Stannis' fleet burned, etc). That being said, I do believe there was enough there for viewers to "get" his fear of fire.
Too bad the show has pretty much marginalized him, he's such an awesome character. I have no problem with them not appeasing the SanSan shippers, but I did want the song :'(
anyway McCann is awesome

Was this scene supposed to happen in this episode? If so it would've made 10000000% more sense and explained how he was afraid of fire.
:bow queen of thorns :bow2
Can't wait for her

I knew it
They are going to spend two seasons on book 3. I bet all of your complains will be rectified in seasons 3 and 4.
How can any book reader defend this shit is beyond me.
Couldn't they just put a wig of the coffee boy and give him a harp? shit I think they haven't even mentioned Rhaegar since the first episode, smh.
in before zephyr bitches about how the richest man in qarth dies is like, totally not how it was supposed to happen, feggitsIt was my favorite episode of the series, you fuckwad.
I really enjoyed this season. I thought the season finale was kinda meh, but I still enjoyed it overall. I'm still on book five, so I don't know how all of it ties together so far, but I think they're doing just fine.I would if they had kept already amazing scenes in, but I'm okay with the changes they made this episode.
Honestly, you guys wouldn't be as interested in the show if EVERY DETAIL played itself out on the show as it did in the books.
PREPARE YOURSELVES, THE BITCHING IS COMING
It doesn't need EVERY DETAIL.The biggest fuckup this season was Littlefinger. Wow, they did not know what to do with him at all. Just botched, all over.
People aren't pissed because it didn't contain all 1000 pages in 10eps. People are pissed because they do things like cut Arya's entire storyline which was the longest character plot in the entire book 2! It's when they cut major subplots that were kind of good or important that it's really annoying.
Just looking at it objectively, this season is FILLED with plot holes because these writers suck and wrote themselves into all kinds of messes that didn't exist in the books.
wait so at the end of the last episode the hound and sansa are running off together
and now sansa's just chilling in the royal court?

My view is that most book readers who defend the changes read the books a decade ago, only have a vague recollection of the story, and are fine with the TV series since it seems good enough and is entertaining.
Since I just read CoK for the first time like 8 months ago, it's very, very fresh in my mind and I notice every singe change and all the bad changes (there are some fine changes) stick out like a sore thumb.

you should probably re-watch that episode.
Jon is a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow in the show and his storyline was butchered.
Arya an Twyinn scenes made no sense and her storyline in the show was terrible.
Danny lol.
Robb lol.
Asha was fugly and boring.
Direwolves are practically no existent.
Cat released the Kingslayer just because.
Ros.
An Other just ignoring Sam wtf!
The richest man of Qarth.
Show defenders seem to be on a whole different level of fucking distinguished mentally-challenged, it seems. Thankfully, two books really are that good.
it felt like there was a episode misisng here becuase the way it ended it didn't really feel like a finale. breanne and kingslayer walk down a road. the hound disappears. sansa goes around the corner after she gets dumped. master luwin dies . nothing happened rly
No, you fixed nothing -- they all are.Show defenders seem to be on a whole different level of fucking distinguished mentally-challenged, it seems. Thankfully, two books really are that good.

CoK, FFC, and DWD are all middling to unbearable.
Season two finale tops 4mil viewers, sets new series highhttp://winteriscoming.net/2012/06/season-two-finale-tops-4mil-viewers-sets-new-series-high/
After weeks of hovering just under the 4 million viewers mark for the initial airing, Game of Thrones finally broke through in a big way. James Hibberd reports that last night’s season finale attracted 4.2 million viewers for the initial airing and 5.1 million total!
In related news, Hibberd also reported last night that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have signed on for two more seasons, meaning they are under contract up through season four, provided HBO orders a season four (which, at this point, they would be crazy not to do).
Winter Is Coming: Nice! Looks like that dip last week was simply due to the holiday and not any indication of a downward trend. Cannot wait to see what the numbers look like for the season three premiere.
CoK, FFC, and DWD are all middling to unbearable.Not even close. CoK is probably the weakest of the three, but AFFC and ADWD have fantastic prose and set up a lot of great things to come.
>>fantastic prose

yep, we're done here.

Eh you're right, perhaps my opinion is being clouded by Shae being there. Still, it didn't strike me as amazing. And of course the "I would kill for you" scene a few episodes ago was weak.
Hey it's Gareth from The Office...he looks like shit nowI thought pot noodle and a wank too.

Tobias Menzies, oh man he was fantastic in Rome. The only thing that saddens me about this series is that there are so many characters that we can't really spend a good amount of time with certain characters (especially auxiliary ones like Edmure).

I know I go over this continually... but tell me what you would do differently that would result IN A GOOD TV SHOW. Assholes. You act like someone is exhuming Shakespeare's corpse, fucking it on live tv while reciting Hamlet in ebonics, and then pissing on the corpse. For fucks sakes, it's OK GENRE LIT.
Jon and Robb's S2 stuff was weak, for sure. And Dany's "where are my dragons" crap dragged on for way too long.
For me though, none of that stuff is dealbreaking. The highs (Tyrion, Arya, late S2 Cersei, Jaime) more than make up for all of that. Maybe I'm just not as picky and don't put the books on as big a pedestal as all of you wankers, I dunno.
I hope they dedicate an entire episode to Aerys/Rhaegar and the sack because S3/4 are going to completely rely on knowing that backstory. I don't think the show has mentioned The Mountain slaying Oberyn's sister and her children have they?

Also I would totally trade the location filming for longer seasons (at least 12 episodes) they really don't add much except for the stuff beyond the wall, I mean they reallyhave to go to Malta or whatever just to show Tyrion and Danny walking around corridors?

Did you bitches cry this hard when they left Tom Bombadil out of the Lord of the Rings movies?
As I've said time and time again, it's an ADAPTATION. If it were exactly like the books, you wouldn't watch it because you would know every little thing that was going to happen. Some stuff doesn't translate well to the screen. And this is being produced for a pay-channel network, so the sex scenes have to be three-fold.
Haven't said GoT is a bad show. It is one of my favorite shows on TV but season two had MESS all over it even without the books. From an objective point, season two failed HARD as an adaptation in some areas, but also made for some boring TV in SOME viewpoints. Most of season 2 owned. This doesn't mean all, and the show is still enjoyable and I will watch the fuck out of it but from a narrative standpoint, Dany, Jon, and especially Robb's povs are highly flawed, barely watchable and considerably worse told than the books that had all of their stories laid out.
This doesn't mean there are things the show doesn't improve either (which is a lot) such as hunting of the bastards. You keep going on about adaptation when almost none of these characters had an arc in this season.
Is Jon a better ranger and more skilled, experienced man to lead after Mormon? NO. Did he not balk at what he was told to do, scale treacherous terrain with his bare hands in the line if duty? NO. He bitched, he got made fun of being a virgin. WOW GREAT CHARACTER GROWTH THERE. Did Dany act queenly? She lost her dragons? That is distinguished mentally-challenged. The Danaerys we know from season 1 - great adaptation btw - TAKES NO SHIT. Does she keep asking favors, waiting for someone to support her cause? NO. The Danny we have come to know would take this inti her hands and fuck shit up because she is the lawful heir. How did she grow as a character in season 2? Oh she cried like a beggar, her dragons were stolen, and she burned Pyat Pree. GREAT CHARACTER ARC.

Now this, I can agree with. To be honest though, I'm not big on Dany in the books either. I think Martin has drawn it out too long. That, and I really just want him to finish this series the fuck up so I can get on with my life.
Was that another original song?
I was pretty surprised to find that the books really DON'T have THAT much sex in them, especially compared to the show.
finished the third book just in time!
still not feeling Ciarian Hinds as Mance
See, that works for me though. I never really thought of him as young-ish or Dom West-like while reading the book, and I think having him very much like Tywin invites an interesting contrast.
(http://i.imgur.com/aCMjkgL.gif)still not feeling Ciarian Hinds as Mance
Haven't seen him in a scene yet but I'm skeptical. I'm fine with him being aged up, but I had always pictured him being more charismatic and rogue-ish. Basically like a smaller Dominic West. This is a guy who is on one hand a killer but on the other hand a romantic character. Hinds looks more like a darker Tywin Lannister to me.

Shoulda been James Purefoy, but instead he's on that (apparently shitty) show The Following.
I'd imagine it could be hard to sell a lot of actors on them having significantly reduced roles down the line. Many characters have one book where they're in multiple chapters, then disappear or see their fortunes changed for the worse later. I'd be curious to learn how they sold the show to Hinds and got him to agree (outside of the money).
Same with Gillen (Littlefinger). He's a great television actor and I feel like he's been wasted on this show. I dunno what he's doing, changing his accent with every line, and of course the Ros shit makes it even worse. sigh
