Speaking of GoT Art:
I illustrated Sam over 8 years ago and I thought it was funny that the depiction looked quite close to the actor they picked in the show. Or maybe it's just me..

looks more like Aria's fat friend.
 
Yeah, he's one of the best characters.

Nah, he's bottom-tier.
Yay, he killed a white walker... while it wasn't even paying attention to him. Again.
I have to say that it's kinda silly that this is the second time that white walker (if it even is the same one) has spared Sam and not finished the job. Seeing as he's lost his dagger now though, I hope he won't be lucky a third time should he stumble across another white walker.

The whole Sam storyline is taking away delicious screen time from Dany and Rob, and the only reason I don't mind it too much is because we get some cool glimpses of white walkers.
 
'And so my watch begins' was a genius statement from Tyrion!

It has everything I'm expecting from this show.
You only get it if you payed attention to some vows that happened 2 seasons ago, fits the character perfectly and isn't too much in your face like some other gags or threats.
Could someone explain this to me? I thought the line was awesome and significant but couldn't figure out why.
The whole "I think you're hot so I'll join you" thing Dario pulled was completely unbelievable, but then again we know very little about the character so maybe it'll become more realistic in future episodes.

Also Danny, as I've said before, needs to be taken down a notch. She has no one equal to her that would keep her at bay and she seems to be getting more and more cocky all the time.

Overall a very good episode. The Davos and Stannis scene was great.
I don't understand why Dany needs to be taken down a notch at this point. Yes, she is a bad-ass but she's also thousands of miles away and at this point has no real way of getting her army to Westeros. I also think this is a long process for her character that is no way over yet. She still needs more numbers in her army, the dragons are still fairly small, and she has been learning how to rule each step of the way. She wasn't brought up to rule unlike most every other character fighting for a throne (north or otherwise). I see her growing at the same rate as her dragons but already they're both pretty damned powerful.
PM'd, it's about a battle that happened 400 years before the series started.
I would be interested in a copy/paste of this too. I really need to read the books.

She has probably worked harder for the throne than most. I for one, would of never though to put the eggs in a fire to see what would happen especially.
Agreed. Also, her powers are her own unlike Stannis who is using a witch and a god that he doesn't necessarily even believe in. I mean, he believes the power is real but I get the impression he doesn't worship this god of light. Yet I do believe that he is just as entitled to the throne as Dany and much more so than Joffrey or Renly.
A few things . . .

I wonder if Dany standing up like that in front of her would-be assassin was a power move, or at least a way to wrap him around her finger tighter.
I took it as a power move. You would expect most women to hide their bodies from the man in the room because, boobs. But it seemed to me like she was saying, "yes, I'm a woman but I'm as powerful as any man."
 
random thought - since the white walkers use the corpses of the slain to create ritualistic symbols, could it be that they also worship some deity? Sort of like the counterpart to the Lord of Light, a god/demon/supernatural being of cold, death, "darkness"? Summer (Fire) against Winter (Ice)? And Stannis is destined to be the champion of the LoL in this conflict?
 
He kills the Titan's Bastard with his walking stick in the books. Dude doesn't fuck around.

I don't think this is against the rules since the guy is dead in the show plus Selmy doesn't have his big stick anymore

Can you guys not do this sort of thing?

Aside from it leading to loads of unintentional spoilers for the show I'm planning on reading the books eventually.

Psst. Don't quote that. If you do, spoiler tag it since if the individual does go back and edit it, yours still shows it in tact. I skipped over it since I had no idea which character it was referring to.

Yes!
 
It's at the mouth of blackwater bay, east of King's Landing a couple hundred miles. Look here: http://gameofthrones.net/images/Westeros_Maps/map_of_westeros.jpg

Eh, here's the (spoiler free HBO-made) map: http://viewers-guide.hbo.com/season3/#!/map/

Dragonstone is pretty close to the mainland. The place where Mel met the Brotherhood is probably... somewhere between Harrenhal and Riverrun, I'm guessing?
Couple of hundred miles by sea does take a pretty long time to cross, though.

Dragonstone is meant to be somewhere in the middle between Essos and Westeros. It's just a small complaint but I thought it was a bit jarring.
 
How do people turn into wights, is it just something that happens magically north of the wall? They aren't getting bitten, or being infected or anything. I don't want to know if this is a plot point they'll explain later, but it seems weird nobody has questioned this is the show yet, unless I missed it.

I guess Tyrion is serious about being married, assuming he's not going to have sex with Shae on the side while waiting for Sansa.
 
"So, their son will be your nephew. After you're wed to Cersei, of course. And you will be the king's stepfather, and brother in law. When you marry the king, Joffrey's mother will become his sister in law. And your son will be Loras'...nephew? Grandson? I'm not sure. But your brother will become your father in law, that much is beyond dispute."
 
No, it's right where the map shows it.
Given how close Essos is to Westeros there I'd say Dragonstone is still pretty far away. But if they can travel that distance (and get a ship, and get to King's Landing) in 2 episodes I really would have thought Bran would be by the wall by now. Same with Sam seeing that Jon actually overtook him on his way back south.

I... really don't get who's getting the best deal out of this arrangement.
Lannisters lose out on their prize-winning cow, who'll give birth to a Tyrell, and little Joffrey and Margerey will create another Baratheon, while Tyrion in theory would produce the sole heir of the lannisters.

Only, it doesn't look like he's up for that task. Is really Tywin's entire plan and the Lannister legacy resting on the head of his least favorite child?

Seems kinda like a dumb move imho.
 
Yeah, I know it's been stated many times before but it's a real shame there's not a zero-tolerance policy to book readers posting in this thread. I'd be excluded as a result, but then I'm only posting here to say how incredibly annoying the book readers in this thread are - they fall universally into two types: 1) the type that comes in after an episode to ask viewers what they thought of a certain scene because they loved it in the books so much and want to hear them review the past and speculate about the future; 2) the type that finds it impossible to avoid dropping unsubtle hints, or even straight-up making comparisons between the books and the TV show (hey - it's not fine even if it's about past events / characters). Ridiculous posters, the lot of them.

Well Bran is crippled and needs to be pulled while Rickon is supposed to be 6 or so in the show. They travel a lot slower than adults, nevermind those that can use horses or ships. And it's a long trek to the wall from Winterfell.
