Trust me, it's priority 1 after season 2 of the show wraps up.

He's not listed in the cast, and they didn't cast Belwas either, so I'm assuming that's pushed back into S3.

Strong Belwas wasn't cast yet, so probably not.

Ep 204 of #GameOfThrones is fantastic: majesty, mystery, and a dance of shadows. An amazing installment filled with brutality and wit

Now I'm kind of sad that I have to wait another month for a new episode of #GameOfThrones. But the first four episodes of S2 are fantastic.

Spoilers, obviously

Interesting, the Melisandre/Cressen scene does not end the episode. I would have bet cash money it would be the end scene but apparently it happens in the middle or something.
Not a fan of the new scene he describes. Littlefinger is certainly crass enough to insult Cersei in a subtle manner, but it would be ridiculous for him to blatantly say he knows of the incest. If the scene is well done, more power to them. But that's something my inner book-fan heart might reject lol.
Graphic baby deaths? Something tells me to outrage won't be nearly as loud over that when compared to the Lady death outrage lmao
The foreboding nature of the final scene sounds awesome. Can't wait

I wish Alan Taylor could direct every episode.

I forgot which ones he did last season, so I looked it up. For anyone that's curious: he directed Ep9/Ep10 (Baelor/Fire & Blood) last season and he'll handle Ep1, Ep2, Ep8, and Ep10 this season.

Strange. I was pretty much pulled into it by the end of the first episode. After the third, it was clear to me that this was going to be something special.

The more important question here is, where is Osha?
And now will I leave you to your thoughts.
Haha! Can't unsee.

Point taken. Can't wait till this season starts, loved the first season.
Yeah I'm assuming they are pushing that scene to Astapor for an early S3 scene. It would be make a great episode ending. Although, it would have made a great S2 ending scene for Dany's arc too.
One of the season 1 commentaries talked about how the actor had back problems.

Kind of odd situation with Ryan. She clearly didn't like much of the early episodes of S1, despite saying they were great on twitter before the season aired. I remember her liking the pilot and especially ep6, where she felt the season seemed to find its footing. Like everyone, she really liked the Alan Taylor eps from S1, so I definitely think it's great that he's directing the first two this time.

I wish more of my friends were into this show so I could talk about it more. I will be pimping it heavily on Facebook in the next couple weeks.

You'll miss out on a lot of back story if you skip the first book, so I'd recommend reading it if you have the time and interest.
You cannot skip the first book, there's too much backstory that was glossed over in the series.

Exciting to hear Mo Ryan say s2 starts off as strong as the last few episodes of s1. That's exactly what I'm hoping for. I also wasn't crazy about the first half of s1.
It doesn't hit its stride until the 6th or 7th episode. The first season/book is effectively one huge prologue, too, so the impending second season should make for a meatier experience.

I disagree. If you're not hooked by "the things I do for love," then you're not going to enjoy this show. That sentiment has held true for all of my friends and family who have given the show a chance.

- IGN TV: Interview with Benioff about S2 *spoilers*
Yep, at the end of the first episode the only thing my brother said was "start the next episode right now". I will admit though that after the 6th episode he watched the rest of the season one after the other.

I didn't think they nailed the tone and pacing until much later on. Story-wise the 'Bran II rule' does still apply, but until the last few episodes it felt more like a weirdly translated book than an actual TV show, if that makes any sense.
