HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

i was kinda on the fence about emilia clarke for most of the season, but im pretty sold on her now. she killed it in this ep

What if Game of Thrones was a buddy comedy?

show is so fun. episode highlights: cuckoo's nest merciful smothering < sansa keeps cool <<<< climactic dragon cheesecake.

thought the littlefinger/varys scene was brilliant, really well written. varys kills it in every scene, the faces he makes. joffrey is such a horrible little cunt. not a huge amount happened this ep but was interesting to hear stannis and renly have taken up against joffrey too. next season tho...wtf, so much shit is hitting the fan all at once, dragons, white walkers, multipronged civil war. it's a veritable smorgasbord of violence!

You ain't see nothing yet

will buy this on DVD the day it come out, even though HBO love to gouge the mans.

?

Pricers are cheaper than they used to be

He's saying HBO's home video releases are expensive.

xo

fsdgkh

lol

good lord i never thought the day wld come when princess tamtam was translating my posts on a game of thrones tv thread. such times we live in.

weed is coming

it was mans that threw me but I figured it out

I want a little babby dragon now please.

E they...don't actually exist :(

SPECULATION -- I HAVE NOT READ THE BOOKS OR WIKI'd AHEAD OR WHATEVER

imo three dragons would be handy thing to have around if a bunch of white walkers came and knocked on the Wall

x-post

Hmpf. (._.)

they exist in our hearts.

it sorta looks like there's steam coming out of her head.

...

anyways, joffrey is a little shit. how many friends is he going to have left if he keeps up with the tongue cutting/insanity?!

unless it serves to scare the shit out of people and keeps everyone in line.

Sort of an ellipsis compared to the exclamation mark of the previous episode. Didn't much care for the very end -- yeah yeah, she's walking into the fire but we all know that she's not going to burn. Want to see more of Arya threatening fat boys/kicking it with Baratheon bastard, or Pycelle doing more backflips.

Random thoughts:
* Lancel? I seriously thought/hoped that Cersei had better taste in relatives.
* Strangely, Dany looked more CG than the dragons at the end.
* Cat was looking srsly hott.
* Actually liked Arya with short hair. Good makeover.
* Ned's makeover, not so much.

WHEN IS ARYA GOING TO START EFFING ESS UP??? /rhetorical

this was awesome

draaaaaagons! and dragon queen power!
but also Northern power! and zombie killing!
i'm kind of scared tbh, but i guess i have many many months to get unscared

the only scene that fell flat, to me, was the one with Little Finger and Varys. what was the point of that? i was half expecting them to start making out!

Given the rising body count, I half-expected them to try to shiv each other inna Excalibur style!

Loved Samwise getting stooged by the branch.

Little Finger 'n' Varys was maybe my favorite scene, and there were lots of good scenes.

was that an addition, like their first scene together? my memory of the book is slipping

Yeah it wasn't in the book

last episode was great

loved the Varys/Littlefinger conversation, loved Sansa remembering she's a Stark, loved the pyre scene, loved Bran and Rickon's interactions, loved Cat in vengeful widow mode, loved Jamie's grinning acceptance of his circumstances, loved how painfully evil Joffrey is, loved Jon's friends in the Watch pulling his head out of his ass and the Night Watch commander totally calling him out for it... basically I thought this was great at managing the fallout of Ned's death while setting up season 2.

otm

loved how painfully evil Joffrey is

I will never be able to think of that kid as anything else. He's so awful and horrible and perfect that I think he'll forever be that way for me. Sort of like how I will always find the dad from Happiness creepy and very very uncomfortable to watch regardless of role.

He is such a powerful poster boy against having incest babies

hate u

Amazing that the ratings for the last episode were considerably better than the first. I think something similar happened with True Blood.

the little scared boy from Batman Begins is gone forever now

lol I was just looking at his filmography, which seems to run the gamut from "tragic orphan" to "obsessive preteen stalker"

he was also in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrooms_%28film%29

anyways, joffrey is a little shit. how many friends is he going to have left if he keeps up with the tongue cutting/insanity?!

Pretty typical medieval power consolidation move

I'm also never going to be able to think of Arya as Malcolm in the Middle again after this

lol

so what happens with those barbarians that wanted to take over the Vale?! did they just get told to go to hell after the battle?!
a trivial point i guess, but i'm curious.

i feel bad for the joffrey kid, he has to through the rest of his life with that smug face

I don't remember what happened to them in the books so assume they're still floating around in the background as part of Tywin's army

SPOILER FOR THE HILL TRIBE CURIOUS (BUT NOT SUPER SPOILERY):

Tyrion takes them with him when he leaves Tywin's army. Not saying where they all go.

END SPOILER.

Natalie Dormer from the Tudors has been cast as Margaery Tyrell.
