A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

That was fantastic. That crane shot in the castle courtyard around 40 minutes in? Holy ****ing ****.

Ollie the elevator boy kept his head in the game. Jon Snow could learn something from him.

Besides, the Night's Watch stuff is mostly dull anyways. Every once in a while it gets interesting.

The King's Landing stuff is generally the best stuff, followed by the stuff that happens in the Riverlands and the Vale. Winterfell is ok as well whenever someone is in it. Also Dorne is pretty cool... and the Reach - Hell, everything Winterfell and below is interesting (FTR, the torture of Theon was only alluded to in the books and not shown over and over until it got super boring as in the show... and besides, I think the Dreadfort is slightly north of Winterfell, so it'd fit my map).

Agreed. Everything north of Winterfell has been my least favorite part so far.

I like the Night's Watch in the show a lot, and it's pretty interesting in the books too. Especially since

Spoiler:

Jon is doing what he's supposed to and what the readers want him to do, whereas Dany just ****s around in Meereen for forever and ever, after basically everyone tells her "Hizdahr is obviously in charge of the sons of the harpy, the Shavepate is up to no good, no don't walk among the sick people, get the **** out Jesus Christ" but Jon Snow is protecting the Wall from the Others.

Mereen 90210.

GRR promises to murder you in possibly a ****ed up manner for a mere $20,000.

Spoiler:

Doing what you are supposed to doesn't make it all that interesting. I mean that's why Kevan Lannister was killed - Cersei makes KL much more interesting

Snow's sojourn with the Wildlings is cool and the Battle for the Wall is great, but then, its basically doing not much - Snow being elected Lord Commander is utterly ridiculous, but its something that we just have to go with

She's also insufferable at this stage of the books.

[Imran Siddiqui]

she appears to be stuck on the smug self-righteousness setting, which isn't working.

To be fair, Dany in the books is pretty smug and self-righteous during this time of the show.

[Hauldren Collider]

Danaerys is boring, but I'd prefer to have more than the sausage-fest that is the Night's Watch.

They have a fat woman and a hot redhead too

[regexcellent]

Okay, and her costumes in particular are good for other reasons too.

[Lorizael]

Yes, that's precisely what I meant.
