That is what I believe the case to be as well.

I'm glad he's no longer trying to be all serious during his reviews.

Yeah, because he couldn't get around to explaining it in the 24,246,092,347,293 pages he's already written? Every book takes him what, 6-10 years to write? Isn't there a better chance he's gonna be dead before having a chance to finish the series? Honest question, I think he should start trying to wrap it up sometime this decade.
You're right, Stannis is much too serious.

According to the news about his scholarship the guy is 19 now, he's allowed to be filmed near all the whores he wants
He wants to quit acting to become a fucking philosophy professor? Now I've seen it all.
I bet he's sick of all the threats of people wanting to punch him in the face.
Wow Sophie is growing up really fast.

Because no one would ever want to punch a philosophy professor in the face.
I haven't seen one of his reviews yet. Pretty funny. It's so interesting to hear the theories of those who haven't read the books.
It's a lot like I was between reading segments of the book. But I only had to wait a day to read the next 'episode'. Waiting a week must be torture!

So funny how everyone is braced for this huge Renly vs. Stannis 'fight'!
He seems like a really great guy. I may be the only one but I don't get all that angry at Joffrey and it is really strange to get mad at the actor.

Agreed. Although I did like the location by location format that he had going up until this last review. Hopefully he goes back to that.
He's that guy? I thought he looked familiar lol

Renly was such a G in that scene.

More like both. Joffrey is twisted. Same situation with Sansa, gets a member of the Kings Guard to do it.

Eh?
They're going to go full out with showing Joffrey as the next Mad King. I'm saying this is just the beginning of seeing the monster Joff really is.
That's exactly the point I brought up when the episodes synopsis' were first released. It's understandable why they did it this way though because
they weren't going to show 2 shadow assassinations due to time/money constraints
Man my friend has been pushing me to watch this show for months but due to school I didn't. Now that I'm done I was able to watch all the episode in a couple of days. Awesome stuff. But now I'm hungry for more. I don't think I'll be able to wait and only watch 1 episode per week. Might have to buy the books...

I think it would be too confusing to just have the shadow stab Renly out of nowhere like in the books. Books have the power of describing things very clearly.

I just don't like that they cut it right in the middle of the event. They shouldn't have done a cliffhanger right in the middle of shit getting real like that. The deed should have been done.
Go for it. They're fantastic. Don't let the length intimidate you either, the chapters are only like 10-15 pages each and switch between characters all the time so it always feels really fresh.
You can buy a set with the first 4 books for like $20, iirc, and the 5th book should be available in paperback this summer.

ACOK spoilers
It will be interesting to see when this event actually happens in the next episode. Although I assumed that ep 4 would end with it, given the episode as a whole and the scene at the end was so good, I thought it was a great way to end the episode.
You are not alone.

I thought it was a great way to end the episode, especially if you know nothing about the books. A real WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?? ending.
I think its one of the top 5 most memorable moments from the book series.
Each book has its most memorable moment, and to me this was Clash of Kings'. Next one will be the Red Wedding of course, though Dany conquering Slaver's Bay was pretty awesome.

Bitches love smiley faces
Wished more people simultaenously watch and posted in the non-spoiler thread. I wanted to seem at least a full page of WTFs.
Still can't believe I didn't hear about this before they left, Copacabana is relatively close to where I live and they took pictures and shoot the shit with fans near the beach. I'm always missing this sort of thing. The show is quite popular around here so it was cool to see HBO promoting it like that.
Everything feels so rushed compared to last season, such a bummer. How could any non book reader give two shits about the ending scene when both characters have had about 10 min of screen time max?
Might just wait until the seasons over and then just watch them on my phone while I jog on the treadmill. At least at that point the hype/excitement/disappointment will be gone and I'll just be able to enjoy the good parts.

Would be more specific but forget which book it starts.....but one city has about 20 people who have names that look like facerolling on a keyboard. Didn't help the story involving them was the weakest part of all of the books.
My brother who hasnt read the books and some people at work all took it as a WTF is about to go down!!!
This shit is crazy!
I was one of the most vocal people about this season needing a few extra episodes but most people I have talked to have been pretty interested and fairly cognizant of all the characters and their relations........Though my brother did ask me if Renly and Stannis were brothers.
Still this season should have gotten a few extra episodes.

I can't wait to see this guy flip a shit after the next episode.
If you prefer, there are easier stories to follow but the I would gather most of the appeal to GoT and Song of Ice and Fire in general is the complexity therein. Every person I know who loves the show/books loves them because is a challenge to follow. Once you understand who's who it gets real interesting because there are easter eggs all over and rewatching earlier episodes can/will blow your mind.
You get out of the series what you put in, and the show makes you feel stupid and confused most of the time. Only to eventually paint a clear enough picture to let you realize for a moment whats really going on, to then just introduce like 15 more character story arcs for you to follow
I love the torture, and most honestly .. I love that this film doesn't treat me like an idiot. It challenges me to be sharp and on point. I would say that GoT is to television as the Witcher series is to RPGs in general. If you're not up for the challenge, go watch something more casual. There's plenty of it.

It's remarkable how little I care about 99% of the characters in this show. Incredible. Yet I'm still watching.

After Sansa and Littlefinger slowly sail away from Dontos' burning boat, the camera slowly zooms out towards all of King's Landing, bells tolling, with the sun rising overhead, roll credits.
...screen fades from black and you see bodies rolling down a river...like how Bran see's through Summer...
