her jawline/chin freak me out a little, but the dragon looks cool.

Elliot, I believe so.

bbatt, if it is the end of Book5, a targaryen may be fire proof, but she could still be ripped to shreds by the beast. My jaw would be trembling.

finished season 1 rewatch today, getting more and more pumped for s3. it's looking like it's gonna be a helluva ride. almost all of the clips in that trailer i can remember from the book, which is a great sign

I'm considering video taping my wife's reaction of the Red Wedding scene.

Highlight (and lowlight) of season.

maybe we'll get something like this?

That guy is weird.I've heard him on APOIAF and he's an odd duck period.

I loved reading the wall on AGOT Facebook page after that episode. Was hilarious. The few folks on there posting stuff like "just wait for the red wedding"

yeah, i really enjoyed his reviews for the first 8 episodes of season 1 cause it was such a fresh, authentic non-reader perspective. but after ned dies, you can tell he just loses his love for the show. even all thru his season 2 reviews he would not catch on to obvious things (like never realizing that the hound left KL because of the fire), go on long pointless rants about Sansa cause she was being too "helpless", critique stupid stuff like that the battle of blackwater wasn't big enough, etc. really just got on my nerves...though i might see if he keeps going with season 3 just to watch an even bigger meltdown for the RW

I won't begrudge him a Sansa rant because until AFFC she's not an easy character to like.

A naive child being manipulated by older men

You know nothing BOCH.

Seriously, her development in AFFC is pretty neat. Definitely setting her up for the future.

LF has her exactly where he wants her.

Sansa never had a chance. First all the queens manipulation and now littlefinger.i don't see how she is going to break free of littlefinger's traps.



I am re-reading book 1, and trying to really pay attention to all the foreshadowing and visions, etc. before bran woke back up he dreamt he was falling and saw all the world. There is a bit about seeing Jon at the wall as his skin grew pale and hard as all memory of warmth left his body. Could this be the literal of being in a cold environment all the time or symbolic of what happens to Jon in adwd?
BillOnCapitolHill
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I just had this crazy thought. Ya know how the Wall protects itself (its a theme) and you know how Bran is a tree; what if Jon warged into the Wall.

Its already considered a powerful being/entity, just like the Heart trees, what if it had an active consciousness to defend the realm from the Others?

Far fetched

If Jon turned into the Wall, I quit.

Seriously, if Jon wargs into The Wall, then GRRM has lost his damn mind. Warging into Ghost is one thing, but Jon becoming an inanimate object would just be ridiculous (and I know about Bran and his Weirwood).
redline248
How long do you want to ignore this user?
at least bran is still alive

So it looks like Jon's story gets as far as the Queenscrown escape, but do they have the battle at Castle Black this season or next? Also was that castle shown at the beginning just Dragonstone?
Greeze06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Castle blacks gotta be next season (second half of book 3)
redbaron788
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I don't mean the big battle at the wall, the one from the south to take them by surprise

Okay, just checked the book and if the show is roughly half and half from the book then all the fighting 'should' be next season

rewatch of the first 4 episodes of s2 this weekend, trying to space it out til the start of s3. not as good as s1 i think, but better than i remember when watching it live

one thing that surprised me is how much i'm warming up to the new Shae. she was such an easy character to hate in the books, even before her last scene - that will probably be an even more heartwrenching moment for TV-tyrion at the end of season 4, since they made their relationship a lot more 'real' in the show

I had a discussion with my SIL about the red wedding. She's a pretty big Robb fan but she's never read the books and is following the shows. I did my best not to spoil it for her, but it was so hard not to.

So this Game of Thrones high School parody is pretty funny, and has some nice references.

I cant wait for the Red Wedding...no one who has only seen the show hasnt a clue.

I feel like Andy Kaufman on the inside of a national prank watching it unfold.

also the first episode's synopsis is out:

quote:
Episode #21: “Valar Dohaeris”

Jon is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night’s Watch survivors retreat south. In King’s Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward. Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out. Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Daenerys sails into Slaver’s Bay.


source (some other interesting info in there about cast members and new/returning characters)
Elliot P. Campbell
How long do you want to ignore this user?
one more edit in my OP - just found out that all but two of the episodes have had their titles released (source)
BillOnCapitolHill
How long do you want to ignore this user?
"Valar Dohaeris" tells me that synopsis is incomplete. That is a saying of Bravos in Arya's storyline.

But it is far too soon for her to make it to Bravos. She still needs to meet the Hound.
BillOnCapitolHill
How long do you want to ignore this user?
In that intro, at :09, Flaming Sword Beric versus the Hound. And of course Breanne of Tarth versus the Kingslayer.
Elliot P. Campbell
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Well yeah it's just the tv guide synopsis. Those are always incomplete. And they may just be using that title to pair with the last episode from s2 (valar morghulis)
Elliot P. Campbell
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Besides she doesn't go to braavos until the very end of book3/season 4. The episode might not have her in it at all, I read somewhere she meets the BwB in episode 2
AggieSouth06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Next step in Arya's storyline is for her, Gendry and Hot Pie to get captured and taken before Ser Beric. She's 2 seasons from Braavos.

As for Dany's story, it's going to be difficult to make the actor who played Baristan Selmy unrecognizable for an entire season.
Elliot P. Campbell
How long do you want to ignore this user?
agreed re: barristan, my guess is that they'll lose the whole "arstan" thing (and i also doubt strong belwas will be there, unfortunately...too expendable a character) and he'll be recognized on sight by jorah...which will be interesting to see play out cause it's definitely different.

although it may be one of those things that's a secret to dany and jorah, but not to the audience. heck throw a beard on him and a lot of audience members might not even remember who it is
BillOnCapitolHill
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Help me remember did Dany get saved by Barristan while leaving Qarth or Astapor?

That would set up her leaving with the Hound by ep 4/5. Then they spend 2 episodes on the road, then they reach the Freys.
