A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

[Sir Og]

I got teary eyed in the last scene with Dani, the music got me.
The more I grow older the more emotional I become. Don't know why exactly this is.

Can't wait for the next season.

Yeah, there were several options available that would have added juice to this episode. I almost wonder if they realized that nothing was going to be able to follow last week so they decided to save it all for next season.

(That said, the Arya scene was good, and the Joff scene should be added to the clips of him getting slapped. The last scene was rather cringe-y, though.)

[Tuberski]

The season should have ended last week.

It went out with a whimper, instead.

ACK!

I would actually be interested in knowing what characters you found interesting (and other people who haven't read the books).

Okay, here we go.

Tyrion (obviously)
Bron/Jerome Flint (steals every scene he's in)
Natalia Tena/Osha- great mix of ugly/sexy/tender/vicious
Tywin/Charles Dance- really strong uber-Fascist Daddy character
The eunuch guy (Varys?)- completely fascinating
Aiden Gill/Littlefinger- complete bastard but very watchable
The Hound- interestingly flawed
Jaime- probably the best character arc so far
Incredible She-Hulk- another mix of tough/vulnerable
Joffrey- great little bastard
Theon.

George R.R. Martin will kill everything you love, Ozzy.

It is known.

Two opening credit character deaths in season one
None in two
Four (so far) in three
And I can promise a bunch more in season four (who knows how many, depending on who makes the opening credits next year)


Asher: I don't see that at all, but whatever works for you. His little speech to Talisa at the start of the episode was fantastic.

[OzzyKP]

Rob was one of my favorites.

[Asher]

The guy playing Walder Frey reminds me of Christoper Lloyd, circa Back to the Future.

I haven't read the books. And most interesting characters for me so far are Aria, Bran, Daenerys and the dwarf(Therion ?). Although I like all the plot lines.

I was expecting something bad to happen to Rob because he was cursed by too many people. There was no way for him to last long but I was still surprised by the brutality and scale of the killing. And I was suspicious from the start of the wedding that there is a big chance for it to not end well considering how creepy Frey looked. (I think that actor played the part great)
I was expecting something bad to happent to Thalisa(sp?) when he first asked her to come closer to him so that he can see her better.

This is probably influenced to a great extent by the reputation of the author.

In both the books and the TV Caitlin and Robb were boring.

Was surprising when they died but not as much as Ned.
