  1. One problem with the prophecies besides the ones already mentioned is that they haven't even happened yet. Tough position for the writers to have to put in something that they don't even know what it will mean and will be important 3-5 seasons from now.
  2. LOL imagine how the non-readers feel. Love how the ending leaves you with a WTF happened feel, whose dead, alive, captured, etc.
  3. If this episode is any indication I cant wait for the fight on the wall.
  4. Bronn-Hound scene=Best scene in entire series. Oh my G-d why couldn't they have started fighting.
  5. No it doesn't. Omar is the king of Gary stus. Walk in threaten someone with a gun get what he wants, puts gun away, other guy with gun lets him walk away with a look of respect. There were so many things like this that it was not at all believable or interanlly consistent. Internally consistent would have been to kill him.
  6. ^ Dude there are plenty of things in the wire that don't make much sense. The difference is that the wire was a gangster show not based on a book. So when noone kills Omar everyone cool with it. But if GOT watchers were really giving that show the same treatment they would be writing WTF why didn't they kill Omar, that doesn't make any sense. There are an infinite number of examples in that show, so please stop bringing that show up as some kind of gold standard for GOT.
  7. Ha, I remember when they first intro Talisa arguing that one of the reasons they were doing it is to get an exposition tool about Essos. Not a bad idea IMO,
  8. Damn you have a pretty strange definition of fast b/c it seems to me Robb fell for her in a blink of an eye. Should they have had 4 scenes before they hit the sack instead of six. Sheesh,
  9. Man I swear ever scene with Stannis he looks like a completely different actor, are we sure he isn't a faceless man. Also anyone think that "I would cut your face off" comment from Shae was a very interestin. Where exactly is Shae from to say such a thing that sounds like what a facless man does.
  10. Thanks, how were people expecting them to set this up with what we had seen to date. I guess did people expect for Northereners to get captured?
  11. You aren't the only one, not to be a jerk but I think book fans are being a little ridiculous on this front. People seem to want Robb and Jeyne/talisa to just look at easch other fall in love get marry and voila. The way GRRM set it up was never going to work for TV. They were going to have to set up a love story and love stories are usually pretty corny, but thats the price GRRM pays for setting it up the way he did. I'd rather the show at least make us care about the people involved before the RW.
  12. ^Hmm I didn' think about that (of course thinking isn't Catelyn strongest suit either). Anyway I hope they execute it in a way that people wont say WTF is Catelyn doing.
  13. Jaimie didn't have a reason to kill Alton-what?? The reason was to escape.
  14. Ooh, I like this line of thinking. And lol at that are they going to hug of something moments. Some nonreaders think Tyrion was trying to get in her bed LOL!
  15. I don't know. The way she pullled that sword out. Didn't seem like she was freeing him. Cutting off his hand now would be an easy way to appease the karstarks in the shortterm. Also would make his freeing more platable.
  16. Are we assuming Catelyn is freeing Jaimie? Isn't it more likely she is just going to cut off his hand first.
  17. I don't mind the new mountain. I got the sense that the guy they did hire was a big time overactor type.
  18. I sort of wish the bodies had been more recognizable, but it was going to be a prettty hard scene to pull off.
  19. Catelyn was just awesome this episode. She totally pulled off being formindable. Really like show catelyn better than book catelyn. SEriously who cares that Jaimie killed a random guy who is barely related to him. It was nowhere near as bad as people were making it out to be.
  20. I'm starting to agree with this viewpoints. I've read through a couple of non-reader threads and they basically see Baelish the way we see him in the book. He seems very popular among the non-book readers from what I can tell. Also agree with the point that its much easier for MArtin to have people comment on how devious Littlefinger is through their monologue than to do that on the show. Plus it would be a little more shocking/realistic if he didn't seem to be the little miss perfect schemer he was in the book.
  21. I'm watching the wire now and while its a great show it avoids the criticism b/c its a cool gangster show and not a fantasy show. The truth is there are so many things that happen in the Wire that are ridiculous and completely unbelievable even moreso that GOT, but the genre gives it a shield of armor. I mean Omar alone is the most impossible and ridiculous character ever. If you put a broadsword in his hand and not a shotgun people would see this.
  22. Plus as someone already mentioned with what happened to Luck, I want horses kept as far from the show as possible.
  23. I don't understand the complaints about Dany. GRRM made her seem WAY WAY more petulent, nieve, and incompetant in the book(s). In some ways I think the show is showing it better than George was where it seemed so heavy handed "But I am just a young girl." That Merchant scene was a nice merge of the litany of Dany is Nieve scenes. Also put me in the XXD is somehow involved with the kidnapping scene. His reaction was very much delayed, plus he was just talking about his willingness to do anything to get what he wants. In retrospect the scene is set up well b/c you wonder if it was Warlocks, XXD, Jorah, or Doreah who set it up
