A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

"Gold? Women? Golden women?"

There's just something about the Dinklage in that role... he really ought to win awards.

[-Jrabbit]

I'm thinking he will. A standout performance in an awesome role.

His new merc sidekick has great potential as well.

Thorne said "you'll hang for this" ... and then Jon does not hang. Bad for discipline.
They should have hung him as example to others.

As I said, Thorne is not well-liked, to put it diplomatically, by anyone. There may have been more punishment coming, but saving the Lord Commander from a zombie horror from beyond the Wall tends to earn one some clemency.

"How would you like to die?"

"When I'm 80... in my bed... with a woman's mouth around my c*ck."

Hard to argue with, that.

It hasn't been shown in the show as much, but it is hinted in the book that all of the officers recognize that Ser Thorne is a giant *****, and therefore Mormont is a bit sympathetic to Snow.

who were these characters in the scene of the old guy getting fired?

These people in the show start rattling off somebody's titles and I lose track of the first name by the time they're done

like a cat and big dog roaming the countryside on some adventure

BTW is it just me being preconditioned or does anyone else find round towers of Winterfell
to be ... dunno, unfitting for the climate? And weirdly proportioned? They look to me more
like something that would fit more south.

In northern climates you usually have sharp roofs so that snow and ice would not accumulate.




BTW I love the grimaces Cersei does with her face. They're rather uncommon.

[Berzerker]

she's hot

is it a coincidence her name sounds like the witch from one of those movies about a sailor lost at sea? The Odyssey?

[Main_Brain]

sooooo
Summary: Dragon>Horse>Lamb People
while Wolf is equal to Lion

Im just waiting for the Crustacean People to make an Appearance

whoops

The old guy getting fired was Ser Barristan Selmy, known as Barristan the Bold, one of the most famous knights and warriors in the realm, and Commander of the Kingsguard, a brotherhood of seven men sworn to defend the King, forgoing all properties, marriage, etc., serving the rest of their lives. He served the King prior to Robert, the "Mad King", as did Jaime Lannister, who forswore his oath and murdered the Mad King at the end of Robert's war.

The guy who came for Arya at the beginning of the episode, while training with her "Dancing Master", was another member of the Kingsguard, Meryn Trant. They wear white armor and cloaks.



None of them have anything to do with what is going on at the Wall.

[Berzerker]

thx, see how lost I am when it comes to names?

[joncha]

brackets around spoiler, just like "quote".

Spoiler:

Most annoying supernatural aspect of book three so far: Immortal Robin Hood. Which is a shame, because I think I'll like his character otherwise.

Good to see Dany finally start kicking ass, by burning the Slaver city to the mother****ing ground. Awesome.



Quick question; a "former" or "latter" or "both" will suffice:

Reese Bolton: supernatural, or just creepy and evil?

Spoiler:

Dondarrion isn't the only undying character. The next one is much more annoying.

And Bolton isn't supernatural, just creepy and evil.

Me too.

I shall miss the Dancing Master, presumed dead.
