So...uh...was anyone else looking at that top down view of Cercei's cleavage as Joff was dying in her arms? Also, they should name the book thread asoif, it would make the two threads easier to distinguish.
The Bran and Dany stories are growing old for me. Dany is just wandering around a desert freeing one slave city after another with no direct impact on the Westeros storyline. Bran is full-on re-enacting Fellowship of the Ring by just walking around in a forest doing nothing.
Well we do know that Winter IS coming to Westeros.
Because I was annoyed at having that spoilt for me and I wanted the poster to know. At least I put the actual spoiler in tags.
Come on people, let Corn or Eat Children take care of the spoilees. Why keep drawing attention to them?
Finally watched the second episode and it sure scratched my itches.
Screencaps galore!
just popped in to say that this shot is effing gorgeous.
There are actually 3 threads, one for the books only (asoif) in community, one spoiler discussion for the series, and this one.

Duh.
I don't think so. The dragons will go to Kings Landing and probably tear it apart (Brans vision) that's why it looks like its in ruins. The snow is there because of winter, which is right around the corner.
Visions in GOT always mean something.
I must have missed it, but say you wanted to provide a picture I would not be opposed
I'm baffled that there aren't any gifs posted of it yet. I was thoroughly enjoying that shot, you get boobies and Joffrey choking to death, double win!
It was one of the few times in life that i took more pleasure in seeing something else happeon on screen rather than boobs.
Will revisit though.
Yeah now that you mention it, it is weird. Had completely forgotten about him.
Also I don't remember too well how last season ended.
Stannis receives a letter about the white walkers right? How they are about to attack? Or that the Wildlings are about to attack? Who does he receive this news from? Or why does he only get this message?
I am also a little confused about the stuff happening north of the wall. The Wildlings are forging an army to attack the other side of the wall right? Why? Is it to escape the White Walkers? Aren't the Walkers also about to attack?
That whole sequence was baffling. Bran does nothing even though he sees him.
Jon Snow saw the dire wolves too. Why didn't he think "oh shit my brothers/family" might be up there or in an around the area?
Why didn't he take his girl with him? He just runs away.
The problem with doing this is that I'm sure we'll then get a load of people saying "Aww man I didn't realise asoiaf/A Song of Ice and Fire was the book series Game of Thrones was based on" after going in the thread.
I don't think it's that hard to pay attention to which thread you're going in. It was a bit more difficult last season where both thread titles were basically "Game of Thrones Season 3 *SOME ALL-CAPS TEXT THAT CONTAINS THE WORD SPOILERS AND IS HARD TO DISTINGUISH AT A GLANCE*"

Not to mention we haven't seen anything about the white walkers yet.
It does feel like there's a lot of meandering going on in the story as a whole. I haven't read the books, but one of the complaints i see when someone comments on why it's taking so long is apparently Martin keeps expanding the story rather than pushing the story truly forward. I don't know if that's completely true since I haven't read the books but it's not hard to think that's what's going on when we look at the storylines of Dany, Bran, and Theon.
I dunno, maybe I'm being picky but I do hope we get some resolutions to some of these story lines, or at least have them move forward in a meaningful way this season.
Really? I don't even think I noticed. I think I was caught up in the moment lol.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Does Jon and Bran know their whole family is dead? I can't remember.
Also, the most interesting thing about last episode was seeing Cerci react the same way as Joffrey. When you saw the little show they were literally both laughing at the same thing and no one else was. If anything that reinforced for me how much of Joffrey's issues were caused by his soulless, evil mother.
Like, is her mouth supposed to even remotely line up with the subtitles? At all? Why do all Tumblr gifs always suck?
I rather like it. Right now the main story seems to be the wedding and stuff going on in King's Landing but we just know all those other side characters and story will be the focal point down the road. Always a nice reminder like "oh yeah this guy/girl's story is still left". Like they aren't running out of material.
I do get bored by the Stannis stuff.

I hear you. No worries.

The roof being torn apart in Dany's vision always made me think dragons, and that she might destroy King's Landing trying to take it.
But maybe it's a glimpse into the deep future, where time has made Westeros a ruin.
Book people should just not comment on this one, like at all. I don't trust any one of them to even remember if their info comes from the books or the show, and in my experience they only come to gloat or give hints about how they knew all along. Well, no shit you knew. Do you want a prize for that? Was it hard to read a whole book? Congrats smartass.
The reason many of us don't read the fucking books is because we would breeze through them and then be all like dumb yous waiting for George go finally get around writing the next fucking one. And doing nothing in the mean time but finding ways to fuck with people who haven't read them. I mean, the ones who have read them and I can't even tell from your posts here, thank you. I don't want to know if you read them or not. I don't want you to verify links or spoilers for me, I'm just not clicking any links.
Maybe I should just stay out of this thread like I normally do. At least this last episode was a surprise.
I think Jon knows and Bran doesn't. Also, what happened to Rickon and the wildling woman. Are they all still together?

nice, I've just posted them in the other thread. cheers.
Sadly, I think I even have to avoid this thread now. I have this sinking feeling that there are a few book readers in here that post amazing 'theories' knowing full well the real truths... not to mention some of the outright spoilers linked or posted.
I should probably just suck it up and live with it though. These discussions are still very enjoyable.

Except that already happened when Vanilla Sky came out.
I removed it, but it already happened and it's not exactly a spoiler.. right?
This calls for a "I have the weirdest boner" cap right here!
Yup, sometimes it is really obvious. They can't help themselves.
Well they said some time ago that summer had officially ended, so...
I have no idea.

It was pretty fucking bad last year. I enjoy the discussions in these threads but it does make it hard to enjoy when it's obvious there are some book readers who are just out to be dicks. I got into it with a few people over it last year. Very frustrating.
Well summer lasted like seven years or something? So does that mean seven years of fall?
It wasn't meant for you.
Hm. I believe it was all the people making a claim for the throne. So Robb and Joff I believe. Renley was already dead so not him. Did they say my boy Grayjoy?

Robb, Joffrey, and Balon Greyjoy.
So I've started my first rewatch, just finished season one. I don't think any other show holds up as well during a rewatch, there's so many connections and references that totally went over my head the first time around. And now I'm reading the wiki and it's all coming together for me. It's all so dense but fascinating at the same time. Man, I love this show.
Jesus fucking christ. While i was laughing behind my desk at each and everyone of you who accidentally went in the wrong thread i just did it myself and got myself a ridiculous spoiler.
That fucking thing is a joke, the worst thing is it actually takes you a few posts before you realise whats going on ...

Yeah the huge red text on top of every page is really hard to read...
I just posted in this thread, refreshed and entered wrong thread and immediatly scrolled down.
Thats what i did now.
