one thing about having read the source material for this show is that i'm not so impatient for the next episode and can really bask in all the blood and titties come alive

don't know if any of you have HBOGo on your iPads but the interactive feature thing for this show is pretty awesome.

I didn't really understand what was going on with the poisoned wine. He was trying to poison her, right? Why exactly did it go so wrong?― silverfish, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 5:34 AM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

They changed this up from the book (he spikes the wine, offers it to her first, she drinks, then he drinks), but it seemed like in this scene he's going for a murder-suicide thing (maybe killing someone is dishonor enough to make him unfit to be a maester).
― Office Tebow (Leee), Thursday, 5 April 2012 03:46 (twelve years ago) link
ha in the book he offers it to her but she knows he's trying to poison her so she says she'll drink but he'll have to drink with her too. she gives him the glass and kinda smiles at him knowing that he's gonna die.that whole scene is quite entertaining. i also like how we glimpsed the table thats actually a map of westeros though they could have let us have a better look at it.

I had no idea how far east Vaes Dothrak was until I saw the HBO map.

westeros table is rad, as was the octopus fireplace, feel like theyve stepped up the set design this season from what was already v awesome

It's a KRAKEN. Sorry

octopus fireplace and dragon walls were both pretty awesome!

POWER is power scene was A+
On the real, I haven't read the books but as soon as Cersei called the guards on Littlefinger I turned to my BF and said "she is gonna be all like "POWER is power, bitch"."
This is not a testament to my predictive talents so much as that writing dialogue for slightly cheesy machinistic modern soapies is basically my number one fantasy job.

yeah you could sort of telegraph it but she really went to town on it with the whole "close your eyes" slightly ludicrous stuff.
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Saturday, 7 April 2012 10:45 (twelve years ago) link
also power is hot
she didn't need to say that bit

i dont get why she told them to turn around and close their eyes
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Saturday, 7 April 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
coulda told them to hop on one foot, same difference

i keep the wiki open on my phone while watching to know who the fuck everyone is or is talking about.
cool how ep2 threw in a lil incest foreplay just for kicks

I wasn't complaining! It was an intuitively necessary statement. Sometimes a show having predictable dialogue is actually a good thing, it's like a sports player seeing an opening and taking it and scoring.
― Tim F, Saturday, 7 April 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
but if they were already turned around, why did their eyes need to be closed? shouldn't she have said "cover your ears"?
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Saturday, 7 April 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
man she was just being theatrical

no kidding.
the "sexposition" is getting kinda ridic at this point. also some interesting changes/embellishments to the story. it's kinda exciting to see what they change and what they don't!
― Teenage Mutant Ninja Body Image (latebloomer), Saturday, 7 April 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago) link
They must have some plans for Ros, cos for a character that doesn't appear in the books she sure gets a lot of screen time.
― Number None, Saturday, 7 April 2012 16:21 (twelve years ago) link
I think she's there mostly for the non-pov characters to have someone to talk to
― Teenage Mutant Ninja Body Image (latebloomer), Saturday, 7 April 2012 16:27 (twelve years ago) link
non-pov characters in the book, that is

yeah, its been a while since i've read book two, but i'm pretty sure the end of this episode was a pretty big departure from the book

Taking this less and less seriously as the show progresses. It really does seem to be targeted at 14-year old boys.

btw the tumblrs are whining about the show departing from the books, those big babbies should be careful Craster doesn't leave them out in the wilderness.
― Où sont le Lord Custos d'antan? (Leee), Monday, 9 April 2012 04:40 (twelve years ago) link
I haven't read the books, but I hope they do depart from them because goodness gracious this is too sprawling at the moment. I know it probably has to be that way for a bit, but I'm hoping it coalesces at some point and we have a coming together.
Still glad that they keep moments like Robert's bastard's "I sold armour" line.

lol yes that was A+++, both of Gendry's scenes were great.
― Où sont le Lord Custos d'antan? (Leee), Monday, 9 April 2012 04:50 (twelve years ago) link
im happy when it departs because i dont know what exactly is going to happen and also tbh the books do peter out after 3 so if they're planning on fixing that, im onboard
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 9 April 2012 05:13 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the second ep kinda sucked to be honest. it was like they decided they need to show how cruel and ugly and dehumanising this world is, particularly to women, and "they did you notice that the first time? COS IF NOT HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF IT! oh you missed that one did you? WELL HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE AND IT'S EVEN LESS SUBTLE, HOW ABOUT MORE ROUGH ANAL SEX? LOOK AT HOW THESE PEOPLE ARE MERE OBJECTS, HER, HER AND HER TOO, LOOK."
