He is also married to Lisa Bonet as I learned last night. Weird!

This one was good. Makes a world of difference spending some time with characters interacting instead of chop-chopping through plot.

why is a grown-ass man playing jon snow
why is tyrion still addressing him as though he was a fourteen year old
why can none of these people act
when does carcetti show up
― thomp, Monday, 25 April 2011 13:44 (thirteen years ago) link
He shows up in the next episode but I think it's better for everyone if you just stop watching.

it's better for you all if you just stop watching imo

I still really hate the Daenerys subplot, maybe even more this week thanks to the laughable addition of the quasi-lesbian sex tutor.

I felt the same way about the Daenerys plot when I read the books till later on in the series. I just half-assed my through her stuff in the first book to get back the the much more rich plots.

Daenerys went from mournful rape victim to believable courtesan in one episode.

i agree with the above about how shitty the wedding scene is. felt like a bad star trek episode. also uhhhhhhhh racially problematic.
2nd ep fucking BRINGS it. So much more involving than the debut.
It'd been long enough since I read the books that I forgot the feeling of sinking horror that arises with the Arya/Butcher's Boy/Sansa/Joffrey fiasco. It's like, hmmm, let me just switch on this infernal machine over here, ah yes that seems to be running nicely.
The Joffrey actor soooo perfect; the mere sight of his face makes me want to throttle him.

THANK YOU! SO MUCH LIKE Aaron Eckhart. This was killing me last night because I couldn't remember his name. "He looks exactly like that guy, you know, the one from The Dark Knight. You know which one I mean - that one - the one he looks like dammit!!"

Also did we decide if those wolves are real cause the face on that one that she hugs is just amazing. THOSE EYES! I almost think that it can't possible by real.

Apparently the actress who plays Sansa adopted her dog once filming finished so there's kind of a happy ending.

Chiming in to randomly note that the director of the first two episodes, Tim Van Patten, has a hell of a TV director/writer career already -- dude co-wrote "Pine Barrens" among other things -- and that longtime MST3K fans know him from his earlier years:

Bootstrapping, always a fine thing! Seriously!
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, it's generally reassuring when you see Van Patten's name in the credits of a show.

finally watched Ep 2...after careful consideration I really don't like the Danerys scenes...want to fast forward to where she gets interesting. But otherwise loving it. Arya is pretty great huh? And the wolves were awesome this week : D

yeah i remember when i read the books i didn't find Dany's storyline engaging at all until later in the series. the show hasn't really changed that yet.
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 05:22 (thirteen years ago) link
see I guess I wasn't thinking about how it would look played out on tv...but I love that storyline, from go she was interesting to me...but I don't know what it is,maybe it's just that her inner life doesn't come through. Also it just becomes the "boobs" portion of the show. I dunno. Maybe it will improve as her arc develops
― VegemiteGrrl, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 05:31 (thirteen years ago) link

also am I right in that the sex scene witnessed by lil dude was incestuous? still trying to keep the characters straight
