A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

[Dr Strangelove]

There hasn't been much forward momentum in the season so far. Granted, Joffrey's death was a big event, and Mad Queen Starey's big fall was mildly noteworthy (even if she'd only appeared in a couple of episodes)- but an awful lot of characters are doing stuff remarkably similar to what they were doing in episode 1.

So, will somebody be teaching her bratty little son to fly in the next episode?

I find that women are much more likely to cover their eyes or turn away during overly-violent scenes rather than making sexposition scenes awkward.

[Dr Strangelove]

In a show where the last "good" thing to happen was the horrible, torturous death of a young boy, what makes you think anything so good as pizza would make an appearance?

Who, Joffrey? Wasn't he supposed to be pretty close to draft age at the time? Geez, how many young men his age got chewed up during the last two world wars?

We're not going to see too much of her bratty little son.

Yeah, that's fair. But I do know from experience the lesbo kind of stuff in particular is weird for her.

Do you hang out with prudes?

Yes

I dunno, the girls (and a lot of the guys) who are my friends at CMU seem to be more comfortable with the Mountain eviscerating people's intestines than Oberyn getting sexed by six chicks and a dude. Don't know why. As for me I find the over-the-top violence hilarious, but the random sex scenes distracting and annoying. I just would prefer to separate my smut and my television.

Oh, in our group (another guy and a woman) have lots of fun mocking those scenes.

The show is waay too violent for my gf (who tends to like more hopeful or uplifting shows anyway, so another reason for her not to watch it ).

I no understand

Spoiler:

I hope they explain the red viper poisoning Tywin Lannister as well as poisoning the mountain. He knows he might die in that fight to the death so he goes about poisoning everyone he hates before the fight. Hell, he was already dying before Tyrion finishes him off.

I'm skeptical of the

dead man ****ting

theory myself. I doubt they'll show it.

I'm not even sure we'll get the

line; he might not even

.

[Dinner]

That's actually his name in the book?

If it is, I can legitimately pass off all my stupid nicknames as an homage. Brilliant.

He has a real name but everyone calls him by the nick name hot pie because he is a baker's apprentice. The scenes from the book bare no resemblance to the **** shown on TV.

It was obvious. GRRM followed the supposed symptoms to the T.

[Dinner]

So there was nobody around to blame that fall on...

Which is a major error as, in the books, there was the harper which she loves so much in the room. The book made such a big deal about her loving the music from this harper then little finger frames him so well. No one even had sympathy for the harper becausae he was a would be rapist.

[regexcellent]

Also because they thought he was ****ing her (and he probably was).

They'll figure out some other way to do it.

Like reg, I'm skeptical of that theory myself.
