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

I didn't see Ned's death coming, and I was kind of blown away by it. That wouldn't have happened if someone had spoiled it. You know?

sure but no one is spolierizing anything big like that its just like so and so is maybe alive at some point in the future

it kinda sucks the danger out of it if you know a dude is still around in book 4

think abt this the books havent even been completed yet... no one knows

some people knew renly was about to die, whereas I only suspected it. but I'm glad I didn't know how he died, or when.

that guy was just not hardcore enough for the GOT life

I was really shocked by that because they seemed to go to pains in the previous ep to set up the the triangle with him, Margery, and the squire/brother guy.

yeah it was a nice twist for sure

when Ned died people on here were saying that it was nothing and that this series goes like NEXT LEVEL BONKERS AWESOME in books 2 and 3 so now I want to experience that fresh.

woah

It's so hard not to mercy-spoil when she's like (e.g. most recent ep) 'NO IS JON SNOW GONNA DIE?' 'DID HE KILL BRAN?'

The best response I've seen is to say, "Anybody can be killed," ideally while staring into the questioner's soul.

I'm excited for the House of the Undying.

everytime I see Xaro I can't help but think casting made a mistake in not choosing Pretty Raheem for the part.

Good episode, in retrospect, but at the time I was waiting for shit to kick off. Preview for next week probably eased that pain.

Very end was really affecting, and it, Onion Knight + Stannis, and Varys and Tyrion bro'ing down saved the rest of the episode with its Stupid!Robb and Stupid!Jon and Boring!Talk. Even the Arya stuff was meh.

Last three episodes felt lke they could easily have been two episodes. Writers seem committed to giving every storyline at least two minutes of screen time a week, which gets a little silly I.e. this week with Dany.

"blah blah blah slave saved my brother blah blah blah exposition necessary don't worry i am pretty much guaranteed to get naked by the end of this monologue blah blah blah"

she should've whistled and said "I'm not in the book you know" like Gopher

Well that scene had a reason for existing since they're building up a genuine love story which has to involve feelings and she's not just some random prostitue.

Stannizzz. I feel like they could've successfully done an entire late season Stannis/Davos/Melisandre episode, sewn up that entire storyline in a single hour, neatly explained Renly's otherwise mysterious death, and then subsequently concluded with whatever conclusion will conclude the Dragonstone/King's Landing battle.

But Stannis/Davos scenes are the best!

Can't get used to the fact that guy is actually Davos

most awkward sex scene ever in this one, it was like a kung fu movie with them trying to remove each other's strait-jackets.

also mama stark is now on my list of annoying characters, she just has the same pained expression in every scene.

this show is sliding into walking dead levels of mindlessness, but will still watch every week as i did with that.

"blah blah blah slave saved my brother blah blah blah exposition necessary don't worry i am pretty much guaranteed to get naked by the end of this monologue blah blah blah"

The actress is so gorgeous that none of this bothered me TBH.

episode didn't do much to alleviate my "much ado but no real forward progress" complaint about the last few

Tbf, longwinded footchopper is indeed the most attractive woman on the show

longwinded footchopper = Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter

you wouldn't have thought she came from a silent heritage

no kidding

imo the wildling who captured jon is now the most attractive woman on this show.

aka Gwen the Housemaid from Downton Abbey!

lol oh yeah!!!!!

Someone mentioned the Chaplin girl's long speech is dripping with foreshadowing.

Not all she's dripping with etc

Long something something Robb's cock

the wildling looking after bran is pretty hot.

her from About a Boy I think

she was in harry potter. she's in a sort of... gypsyish band that played at the premiere party for the last one. v weird, but not awful. she seems quite the character in real life.

whoa she is totally that girl from About a Boy! Huh
