They understand. People get off on posting hilariously witty hidden 'speculation' and hints. I.e. "Boy, Theon is such a cock." "Gotta hand it to Jaime, he's holding up well." "Careful what you wish for Tyrion."
On some other forums, this got so stupid that the admin literally had to say "If you are a book reader, do not post in this thread or you will be instantly banned."
It was the only way to keep it from happening, they just can't stop themselves, it's a stupid little thrill.
Nope. Holiday season. Back again next week.

I know, but it's the comparison shit too. I get that it's compelling discussion to compare differences and non-book readers may enjoy the knowing but it just doesn't belong here.

Buy the DVD, it's worth it for the actors doing in-character narrations of Westeros history.

I'd tell you, but it's not allowed.
You should read from book 1 though, seriously. Worth it.Why should anyone in this thread care about how the characters were conceived in any medium outside of the TV show?
I'm looking at those cards and feel absolutely nothing. They don't at all seem to represent anything of the characters I've grown to love. They look like crappy generic drawings that I could easily forget and I'd never care if I ever see them again. I look at the characters on the TV show and see some of the most incredibly deep, well-realized characters I've ever seen in any TV show or movie.
Obviously anyone who read the books and saw those images first would have completely different connections. But you're in the wrong thread.

And then we continue to get snide shitty comments about it from an "enlightened" book reader. SO fucking worthless
need an HBO subscription
I'd tell you, but it's not allowed.
I've read book 1 already in preparation for season 1. I stopped there even though I already own book 2 and 3 on my Kindle. 1k in pages is daunting when I often spend free time with video games, movies, and marathoning TV shows on Netflix.
They ran out of props.Also, did anyone else notice that Daario has a Dothraki sickle?
Seemed to foreshadow to me future conflict between him and Dany. Since Dany has a deep connection to the Dothraki, I'm guessing that she'll distrust him further since him having that weapon makes him appear to be someone who's killed Dothraki.

I'll probably keep it for True blood so when ever it ends... it only goes to like 10$ per month after that or something...

I didn't post the pics, someone else did after another one asked for them. I was just replying to someone who made what seemed to be a strange comment to me, but it was just a misunderstanding and we moved on so I don't even know why you're digging that back up. No need for this hostility.
"Snide shitty comments"... WTF are you talking about mate? Seriously, the hell is your problem?
Great episode. Tyrion continues to be the best dude in Westeros. It feels kind of weird that after Ned start was basically the protagonist and the first season set things up with Lannisters as the villains that the closest thing it has to a real protagonist that the majority root for is a Lannister. Sansa's pretty lucky in a way. I mean, I doubt Loras would have done anything to her, but Tyrion, I think, would protect her from anyone and anything.
Cersei's outright pissed and out for blood now. It'll be interesting seeing the fights between her and Margaery, and it'll probably be downright hilarious to see her marriage to Loras. Yikes.
It's nice seeing The Hound make the point to Arya that he really isn't even close to the worst. Arya's awesome and all, but she does have a lot of growing up to do. She needs to realize who to be angry at and wish to kill and who would be good allies. The Hound so far isn't a bad ally to have on such a quest. Her characterization is kind of odd now, though. The girl that ran blindly at him a few episodes would have, I think, taken the chance and hit him with the rock. I suppose maybe she is learning? I dunno.
Dany's story to me continues to be a bit more interesting than last season, but not quite as good as the first. Gonna be great to see Jorah's reaction to Daario, too, lol. I foresee a shit-fit.
And for Samwell, I found it great that he found what kills the White Walkers. I think it was near the beginning of this season or possibly last that I turned to my wife and said straight up "I bet Samwell turns out to be the key in saving them all. He's going to be some kind of crazy hero." It's hilarious that assessment might not be too far from the truth

slender, beautiful body, unique and memorable face, tits and a vagina
i think I can explain it ;P
although personally I hate her damn rat smirk
I am confused i started to watch season one again and i have so many questions, if someone can help me with no book thingies my brain would feel better lol.
Who is the father of the blacksmith boy Gendry? on the 1st season they say Lord Arryn (i think), is that king Robert?
Robert said that the Targaryen killed someone on the Stark family, is that Ned sister Lyanna? and who did this Daenerys father? is Lyanna the mother of Gendry? was she married to Robert? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! D:
Also rewatched the fight between Ned Stark and Jaime , and imo Ned is an awesome swordsman, he could have won that fight if were not for that cheap spear on the leg from the back.
And Loras won the joust against the mountain by cheating and using a horse in heat (said little finger i believe), then the mountain got mad and almost killed him but the hound saved sir Loras arse, so i don't think he deserves a spot on top swordsmans.
EDIT: and where are all the 40.000 Dothraki!!! there is none left! D:

Why the fuck did Samwell run away left that Zombie killing spearhead thing?
Lord Arryn - hand of the king prior to Ned Stark - was the person who was looking into the accounts of the Baratheon line, and discovered then that all true born Baratheons have black hair. Same as Ned discovered. It was during this time Ned discovered Gendry was the bastard son of Robert Baratheon. Thus, he has king's blood in him.
Lyanna Stark - Ned's sister - was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen. It is this that partially led to Robert's Rebellion. Aerys II and Rhaella are Daenery's father - two characters of no real importance to our story I can see, other than they were Targaryens. All of this in HBO Game of Thrones supplemental material, by the way.
I wish they had better choreographed that fight scene, though. Was kinda amateur, could tell the show was starved for budget back then.

To expand on this, Aerys (commonly called "The Mad King") had Ned's father and older brother killed, which along with Lyanna's kidnapping lead Ned and Robert to rebel against the Targaryen rule.
AND he's the one Jaime Lannister ganked to become "The Kingslayer"

Ahhh ty very much Amir0x and Steelyuhas things are starting to make sense!
I'd recommend treating Game of Thrones like a 3 credit college class and start drafting a study guide and notes.
You should go through HBO's viewer guide.Ahhh ty very much Amir0x and Steelyuhas things are starting to make sense!

Beren, watch these: these are the Blu-Ray extras and provide a ton of backstory concerning the Mad King and Robert's Rebellion. Plus they are narrated by the actors who play Robert and Tywin, among others
The Mad King and Robert's Rebellion
The Mad King part 2
Part 3
House Baratheon
There's a ton more out there.

Someone asked for a comparison between the characters as described in the books and as shown on screen and one was posted. Another poster then nonsensically decided to criticise the artwork for not matching up with the show, even though it's artwork based on the books and conversations with the author deliberately put side by side with shots of the characters as they appear in the show.
The combative 'us vs them' attitude over something as trivial as a TV adaptation of a book is just as pathetic as people posting spoilers or hinting at them.

, ty very much and with spanish subtitles

The episode was damn good.
- Tyrion/Sansa went better than expected.
- Joffrey still finds ways to be a dickhead.
- No Jamie.
- No Jon.
- Sam is a dumbass for leaving the dagger.
- I already like Daario, want to see him naked though.
- Goddamn @ Melisandre's sex scene, she has to be the second hottest woman in the show (after Missandei, that is).
- Drunken Tyrion had me worried a little, but it's apparently the only one able to stand up to Joffrey (no pun intended).

EDIT: Moved to PM to not clog up the thread. Stand by my earlier statement that the us vs them mentality is just as bad as anyone posting spoilers. PLenty of book readers in this thread only answer questions or clarify backstory and do so using only material published by HBO.

Thank you for explaining it better than I could.
Agreed. There is no need for such hostility. Most book readers here are courteous, careful about spoilers and the thread's rules, and absolutely do not want to ruin the nonreaders's viewing experience. On the contrary, we are looking forward to reading the speculation, reactions, etc.

Fucking Sam... finally does something right then leaves the dagger behind. Amazing episode tho. I was thinking maybe Khaleesi had a no nudity clause in her contract since season 2 after season 1 became such a hit and she had some leverage. I don't recall her being nude at all in season 2.
