theon why you do this.

We need one of those Theon posters.

How can you complain about changed story lines without seeing the storyline come to fruition yet. Might work really well with the characters and storyline the shows' writers have in mind. After almost two seasons you expect people to accept that the book and the show are different entities. The story in general is fairly similar but character portrayals can vary strongly between book and show. As a book reader it makes the show more interesting to watch to be honest.

They can barely do wolves, how are they going to do a bear?

The only bear I need is the one that goes to the fair.



Yeah, I don't know why, but Theon always gets the best music. The North theme is pretty good though.

The King's Arrival from season 1 is great too.

I hate people.

These people shouldn't exist. Failing that, they should exile themselves to Fanfiction.net

I notice the third season is supposed to be based on half a novel, rather than a full entry. so HBO is definitely in this for the long haul then, including the books that havnt even been written yet?

/\Rome series spoiler

They handled Rome badly. GoT =/= Rome in any way. Game of Thrones ain't going anywhere unless there are some unforeseen problems that pretty much make it impossible to continue.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

The BBC also backed out of co-financing Rome, and HBO wasn't taking into account DVD sales at time. There's no reason (at the moment) to think that the show won't go on for awhile.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Also, Rome was not originally intended to be a series, so that mindset was not initially present and probably affected the choices with it.

 

[luxarific]

Best piece in the soundtrack, outside of the opening.

What was done to Rome was a really shame. As good as S2 was it was CRAZY rushed towards its conclusion. Fucking BBC dropping out and HBO not wanting to front the entire budget. I wonder what would Game of Thrones be like if it had Rome's 100 million budget(today even bigger than that with inflation included).

Thought you guys might like to see these. I got them from my girlfriend. They were Season 2 cast and crew gifts. I needed a new winter jacket so it's nice to get a quality one. Often the gifts can be some really gaudy stuff but the jacket is nice and subdued. The shirt was also for the crews who worked on both shoots. Unfortunately, no Hodor's stunt cock, so I can't show that...

 

[AColdDay]

I've got a question that has been bothering me for a little while, and I was thinking that maybe one of you guys could answer it. I don't know if it is spelled out in the series, or if the answer is something that is only in the books (I haven't read the books yet). If it is a big spoiler, than someone can just PM me the answer.

So in one of Dany's scenes someone mentions The Spice King being "the second richest man in Qarth". I thought he was the top guy, so if he isn't the richest man in Qarth, who is?

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Who indeed.

Xaro Xhoan Daxos (the guy Dany is staying with) said that he's the richest man in Qarth.

almost impossible to miss, Xaro mentions that he is the richest man in Qarth and that he came from nothing like every other sentence in the show lol

How do you not know who the richest man in Qarth is? he mentions it in every scene hes part of every minute!

Probably better wigs

 

[Altazor]

so Xaro Xhoan Daxos is the richest man in Qarth, and the richest man in Qarth and also the richest man in Qarth? Whoa if true.

 

[AColdDay]

I thought he used to be poor. I'm confused!

 

[Fuzzy]

Did you guys hear that Xaro is the richest man in Qarth? Not sure if anyone heard that Xaro is the richest man in Qarth. He used to be poor but now he's the richest man in Qarth.

Relive last weeks episode before tomorrow's!:

I liked seeing Ygritte troll the mess out of Jon by grinding on him while huddling for warmth.

Need to add in the one where Tyrion slaps him in the most recent episode, and the one where Cersei slaps him, too.

The Crag

on it?

 

[apana]

We need gifs of Joffrey saying "you can't insult meh" and Bran asking Osha "why?" if they haven't been done already.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Because Cornballer isn't here this weekend.

New episode tonight:

A Man Without Honor

Spoiler

Jaime meets a distant relative; Dany receives an invitation to the House of the Undying; Theon leads a search party; Jon loses his way in the wilderness; Cersei counsels Sansa.

 

[RaidenZR]

Based on the way the show's been progressing and how many episodes are left...

Spoiler

They wouldn't try to do the majority of the Blackwater battle AND the inside of the House of the Undying stuff in a single episode, would they?

 

[bengraven]

Should change "Guards!" to "Mods!" for when a dumbass posts an unmarked spoiler.

I don't think so. COK

Spoiler

I think episode 9 is pretty much going to be all Blackwater and nothing else. Then episode 10 is when Dany actually goes to the House of the Undying.

Which matches up with the summary for the season finale, episode 10 (spoilers)

Spoiler

Episode #20: “Valar Morghulis”: Tyrion awakens to a changed situation. King Joffrey doles out rewards to his subjects. As Theon stirs his men to action, Luwin offers some final advice. Brienne silences Jaime; Arya receives a gift from Jaqen; Dany goes to a strange place; Jon proves himself to Qhorin. Source:http://www.spoilertv.com/2012/05/game-of-thrones-episode-210-valar.html

But I was reading some spoilers about this week's episode today and it seems they're altering more book stuff, at least with Dany and Jaime, fairly significantly it seems.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Cornballer posted the episode synopsis for the finale, the answer to those questions is there.
