HBO's Game of Thrones

Or even easier for spoilers is just click the little icon that looks like a radioactive symbol and put your spoilers in between the tags.  Easy peasy.

At the end of the piece you want to hide, type the word 'spoiler within opeing & closing brackets, just like before, only now, put a back-slash (this thing- / ) immediately before the 's' in 'spoiler'.

Another for my long list of pet peeves:  "/" that's a forward slash.  "\" is a back slash. ;)

Hahaha!  NICE!  :)



What did you guys think of Sunday's episode?  As Danny's brother probably thought a few episodes ago, "Things are definitely starting to heat up. " ;)

Even knowing what lies ahead, the episode had me on the edge of my seat. 

A question for folks who've read the books: [spoiler] Was it just me, or was some of the Rob & Greatjohn stuff from the second book?  I've been reading them back-to-back, and they've sort of blended together into one book for me.  [/spoiler]

I can't recall specifics but I'm into the second book now and yes, they are moving some things from the second book into the series.

I think so, but Martin wrote that episode, so I can forgive the changes. I actually like them. Something unexpected and to include MArtin is great.

Re:  2nd book question

[spoiler]That bit where the dire wolf takes off GreatJohn's fingers is in the 1st book.  Rob is somewhat shaken by it afterwards - although he doesn't show it to GJ.  GJ becomes one of his staunchest supporters after that show of grit.[/spoiler]

Well ...

[spoiler] And now the story begins to start in earnest. All I can say is hang on to your hats. This season will probably also be a good jumping off point for the sensitive and faint of heart. It only gets worse from here. Good story wise, but far worse for the people involved in said story. There's a nice bumper sticker that's out that has to deal with the lateness of the books and the vengeance of Martin on asking about when the next book will be out. As Jar-Jar once said ... "yousa means innocent peoples are gonna die?"[/spoiler]

All I have to say after last nights episode is [spoiler]WHAT IN THE WORLD??!!! The whole time Ned was on the chopping block I was in disbelief. I thought he was the main character of the story? I hate that little in-bred "king" and want to see him really messed up. Loved the ending though when Rob captured that incestous pretty boy.[/spoiler]  All in all...loving the show!

[Rico]

Haven't seen it - yet.  Please - just tell me there's finally some payback coming!

Depends what you mean by payback.

To answer your question ...

[spoiler]Nope Ned wasn't ever really a Main Character, but he did well to put more than a few main characters into play on the board. There is a reason I love this series and last night we saw the rise of my favorite character in the series. I think as the show and the series moves forward we'll see that it's more about the children of the people that fought in the last war.

One thing that I love about Ned's death is that he brought it upon himself when he took the dishonorable path. He did all these little actions for what he thought was the good of the people, but against the honor that he was to have. Had he told the King when he discovered the problem, he'd be alive. One choice to ignore the law and try to spare the children ended with his death at the hands of the child he attempted to protect. I love how little choice lead to serious actions in this series and there are a lot more to follow.[/spoiler]

Lannister payback.  I kind of want most of them dead - except for the Imp.  He's cool and I like his attitude about things.

There is plenty of payback this episode!
