So did Daario kill an unsullied to get that armour, or what?

 

[Morrigan Stark]

"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."

I tried to work it all out and she's right. Well, Margaery+Joffrey's son would be both Loras's nephew and his step-grandson, LOL.

No need to spoiler stuff that's aired. As for the answer, maybe.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

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.

It's funny how everything rides on Tyrion for Tywin. Tywin hate Tyrion's guts, but he need him. He wants him with Stark's child for power but it couldn't have been the worst match. Tyrion respects Sansa's horrible luck and don't want to add to it by forcing her to do what she don't want to do, and he hate his father so he want to kinda screw him over most likely.

Even though Joffrey is a Baratheon in name, let's be real: he's pretty much a Lannister in power. So although Tyrion's son, should that ever come to be, would be the one carrying the Lannister name forward, Joffrey's lineage would still carry the family forward as the royal family and rulers of Westeros.

Lannister's clearly getting the better end of the bargain.

Daario seems like he's gonna be a fun asshole.

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.

This is why I don't bother with this thread. I plan to start on the books after this season since I keep hearing the show is so different.

I enjoy the show as it is and don't want the books to be ruined for me either.

Remember to spoiler tag anything that it shows.

Spoiler

Isn't the name of the episode a spoiler itself considering Cersei and Marge's conversation at the wedding?

If so, damn.

Why are these threads so large but there are so few posts during and immediately after the broadcasts? I remember LOST threads that were out of control.

A large chunk of the people ITT is from Yurop.

Stop acting like that was the one and only dagger, please. Dragon glass is obsidian, there is more.

Which is interesting. That thing basically kills White Walkers like DDT, but obsidian isn't what I'd call an exotic rock. Surely the Night's Watch can fashion a bunch of lances and arrows in a whim.

Sweet, Mel again on the replay. MILF

Quite literally...

and Sansa is supposed to be 14 lol

"You have a very long neck"

Dany's army keeps growing, now it's 8000 Unsullied, 2000 Sellswords, and 3 toddler dragons.

Time to knock her down a notch. She's getting cocky and the steamroller has to stop at some point.

Stannis: "I never asked for this"

Dennis: lul

Tyrion had the same line when confronting Sansa, too.

PS: That whore was amazingly hot. Hot damn! Should have just killed Dany and made her queen.

I noticed they discreetly glued the lower part of her "dress" to her stomach so it wouldn't fly and expose her vayayay. I pay attention to the... little details.

I get what they were trying to do, make them seem like misogynistic arseholes, but it wasn't subtle in the slightest. It didn't feel like a GoT scene to me.

Hardly. They are mercenaries, assholes by definition. They earn their pittance by killing and pillaging, and you can bet your ass they also enjoy some sweet raping after everything is said and done. They were there to confront Dany and show her who's boss, maybe to scare her off so they could avoid and actual battle.

Wow, fuck Joffrey. Pure sadism with how he won't leave Sansa be.

You have to admire the writers/GRRM for finding new ways to make him even more unlikeable. He's basically my most despised villain in TV history.

Tyrion is the best character there. Sansa was a big fucking asshole when she said she might never want Tyrion to share her bed.

What the hell.

One of the things I liked about that scene is that Tyrion looked genuinely sad when she implied that she wouldn't never allow him in her bed. He may be inlove with a whore, but at least he's trying. He cares. As much as Tyrion can humanly care anyway.

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..

I dunno. I think he looks more robust there than flabby like TV Sam. Still a cool picture, though! It reminds me a bit of Fernando Botero.

Made this and I'm sure this will get plenty of mileage:

I'm saddened he turned out to be a throwaway character. This show could do with some more base assholes to compliment the scheming ones.

When Sansa gives him her underaged piece, will he say "and now his watch has ended" with a smirk before he penetrates?

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.

My guess is magical. White Walkers themselves seem to be magical creatures.

Also, did anyone else notice that Daario has a Dothraki sickle?

If it's any consolation, the other thread is also extremely frustating since it's basically a constant stream of "show changes vs. book" thread so a lot of book readers are also sharing the misery.

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.

[IAmtheFMan]

Not entirely. The way I see it, it's so that we can discuss everything more openly including changes, but the whole thing has devolved into, "this is different so it's bad." vs. "No it's fine!"

I'd rather be in a "GoT -Book readers who want to talk about the show on its own merits instead of a checklist-comparison to the book - thread," but I think that's pretty unrealistic.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Does HBO have contractual obligations to show X amount of nudity and sex every season in all of their shows? Some of the scenes seem purely designed to show case nudity just for the sake of it. It's actually quite distracting as its so obvious

The one wildling tells them to burn Halfhand's body so he doesn't come back though. Although I guess that means White Walkers could come across the body.

Turns out Jack Gleeson is also a rapist IRL. I mean, rapper.

Meanwhile, Joffrey was being the worst. But all the actors love to say that the actor, Jack Gleeson, is the nicest person alive. Always "the nicest."
It's because he's the most polite, lovely, intelligent person in the whole cast! He's just so humble and everyone loves him. There's nothing anyone can say bad about Jack. He literally just turns it on. As soon as they go, "Action!" he goes from lovely Jack to the most sadistic, horrible creep on television. Between takes, we have lovely conversations. And that day, because the walking down the aisle took so long, we had to make our own entertainment and so we rapped a lot.

You rapped?
We rap a lot on set. It's really bad rapping, obviously, but we try our best. It's our own raps, too. I should say he's the one that does all the rapping, I just give him the beat. It's more of my attempt at beat boxing. I just feel so sorry for the crew who have headphones on because they're all ready to listen to us doing our scenes and then for fifteen minutes all they can hear is Jack and I giving it our all. Jack was rapping about Winnie the Pooh and all the money he has — "Monies and Honeys." Someone should have recorded it for the DVD extras.

Some people are not adults (regardless of their chronological age) and cannot handle ideas like nudity and sexuality.

Agreed. People are starting to post "Here's a book spoiler, but it's from last season so it's ok."

Like, what if they decide to use that book spoiler in next week's episode? What if they're deliberately leaving some details from the books so they can have a better reveal?

Book readers should not be posting in this thread out of respect for other viewers. You'd think that'd be common courtesy.

Decent episode. Sam's a boring awful character so the climax sucked, and I wanted a lot more of Hound/Arya than we got, but Melisandre conniving is fun as is Tyrion threatening the King.

I don't think this is against the rules

It absolutely 100% is

UPDATE:

Since we have other threads for the show specifically for people who have read the series, I'd like to ask that they refrain from posting in this thread.

SPOILER RULES:

- ABSOLUTELY NO BOOK SPOILERS. It doesn't matter if they're under spoiler tags, they should not be in this thread. Use the other thread for book-related television discussion. This includes alluding to things, subtle hinting, comparing the books to the show, etc...
- For the book readers that want to lurk in this thread:

• No taunting or teasing:
  e.g. "Oh, just wait until you guys see what happens to him next week!!!"
• No leading questions:
  e.g. "What do you think will happen to this character by the end of the season?"
• No comparing the book to the show:
  e.g. "Well, that's different than in the book where they..."

ABSOLUTELY NO BOOK SPOILERS.
No comparing the book to the show

and these rules are so insanely easy to check they are literally a click away. stop shitting up a thread that has a very specific purpose by ignoring rules that you can check in 2 seconds, please.

though, there's really no point, the same stuff has happened each and every season with book readers leaving "subtle hints" or comparing plot points in here without spoiler tags. like, those are already against the rules, then not even putting those in is ridiculous. But yeah, it's happened every season and idk if mods really care any more and you all really don't seem to feel like stopping. why I rarely even check out the thread in the first place.
