This is going to be a wild ride. I cannot wait to see reactions among the non-readers for this season.

Me too. She was a firecracker on The Tudors and it would be really interesting to see her take on Dany. I was disappointed when the unaired pilot (or at least some selected scenes from it that were changed in the final version) wasn't included on the DVD/BD.

Why doesn't Dany have purple eyes?
(Because it's hard to color match)
They're not going the bald route evidenced by the S1 finale, duder.

Is it wrong to recognize that I have a bald chick fetish?
Very wrong.
then we should get rid of the horrible wig, plus she looks much better w/her natural hair color. gotta have them carpets match the drapes.
Just dye the pubes. Or even better shave it all off.
To keep in character amirite, she's supposed to be 13-14.
You take that back.
Yeah they should've done the bald thing. I wonder if they screen tested it.

Nikolaj (Jaime) looks like Dickie Bennett from Justfied (or the nerdy guy from Lost)

Rewatching the first season on the ray blue is so much better after having read the first four books.
I'm so ready for this.

As a former non-reader for season 1, comments similar to this are the reason I'm glad that there will be a second thread that pretends the books don't exist.
Even ignoring spoilers, no non-reader likes being in a thread full of "wait until next episode, things get crazy" or "if you thought that was amazing, you haven't seen anything yet!"
SERIES SPOILERS SERIOUSLY DON'T CLICK
Series spoilers. Seriously don't clickSyrio!!!!!!!!!
CoK spoilers:
I always hoped Syrio would be alive, but never connected him to Jaqen H'ghar (spelling?)) What's the theorie based on that they're one and the same? Any more then that he showed up when Syrio 'died' and they're both from Bravos?

There was a thread like that for the first season as well but it was a ghost town. Despite all the whining about spoilers, non-readers still flock to this thread in droves. Must be either a complete lack of self-control or gluttony for punishment.

Or the lack of involvement in the other thread. People came to the book spoiler one because there was actual discussion there.
The season one thread was quieter but it wasn't a ghost town. It actually started as a no spoiler thread but half way in it turned in to a "the books don't exist" thread. The reason wasn't because of spoilers, it was because of all the "I know something you don't know" comments.
I'm a reader now (4th book) so I'll be in this thread. Just looking back as a non-reader I'm glad the second thread exists.

A couple quick notes on spoilers. There's a full writeup on this for the real OP, but this should suffice for now. Bottom line: use common sense and be respectful of each other.
- Please tag and label anything from the books that's past what we've seen in the series so far. The label should either be a book title (e.g. [ACoK]) or [series] for something that encompasses all of the books. This thread is for discussing the television show, and there are plenty of other threads for talking about the books. If you're a book reader, please be respectful of those who haven't read them yet. If you haven't read all of the books, stop highlighting spoilers in this thread. Thanks for your help.
- There will be a No Book Spoiler version of the thread, and I'll let you all know when that's up.

True, there are almost 8000 posts in that thread.
(Theory but contains general spoilers for first 2 books)
Well Roge and Biter were terrified of him, despite him not appearing very threatening, which leads to the theory that they saw him change his face in the dungeons. It is a bit of a stretch but its definitely possible that Meryn Trant had Syrio thrown down there with them. Also, we never see a body, and he is never mentioned again, plus in the episode that George wrote last season he could have cleared it up, but instead kept his death ambiguous so it would appear there is at least more to it than just Trant killed him.

I want it to be true, too, but (first block is just a theory that a S1 character survived with no spoilers from S2 or beyond...last blocks are pure S2):
1) Trant is the type of murdering asshole to kill you for blinking wrong. To straight up defy him and fight his men? Syrio could never get out of that situation without either killing Trant or getting killed himself. And since we see Trant again and again, you'd think he would betray some sign that Syrio survived. But that would have deflated Trant a bit and that never happens.
Then again, there's another reason why he COULD be Syrio:
Jaqen only goes where he's told to go. Why was he in KL in the first place? Surely not as a kid's dancing instructor right? But Jaqen is also the kind of guy who wouldn't really let himself get caught and put in a dungeon. Why was he on the trip up north? Was his goal in the North?
A minor theory could be that he was literally following Arya around. He was protecting her and training her to become a Faceless man. First as Syrio, and later as Jaqen. And when he realized he didn't need to protect her anymore he gave her the coin and went on to his next assignment.

Can't wait. Hoping s2 starts off as strong as the last few episodes of s1.

The no-spoilers thread was actually quite active while the season was airing last year, discussion seemed to stop after the season was over. I'm sure a quite a few people would still like a similar thread this year.
I hope so too. I loved S1, but the unnecessary sexposition, the bland direction and the lack of crowds/extras at parts was mildly disappointing.
Didn't they say we are getting more of this? :/

Yep these are my gripes.
Kings Landing wasn't epic enough nor as packed set-dress wise.
It was like all we saw was the Stark's quarters and the Throne room.
Have they? Must have missed it. Noooooooooo if true.

God I love Michelle Fairley. Watching her recent interviews (which are filled with spoilers so watch out lol), she completely gets the character of Catelyn and you can tell she loves her work.
