The only characters I don't picture like their actors are Jon because I don't imagine him to be that stupid looking. Cersei because it's not how the book describes her. Asha because it's not how the book describes her. I kind of imagine the same Robb but a 10 years younger version.

Make a statement without research that is completely wrong? Never change, GAF.
Huh? It was confirmed yesterday that they would be in season 3.

I'm GoT newb and sorry if this is asked before, but did lord Tyrion die in the battle in last episode? He's too awesome to die.
Yeah, I really wish his plot this season hadn't made him seem like an incapable idiot.
No, he did not.
I blame Dany. They had to give her too many scenes and compressed Jon's too much, which made it stupid. Dany is the cause for all the bad things in the show!

series, I guess -
Jon doesn't really grow up until he gets stuck with the wildlings for a while, and really doesn't grow up until he gets back to Castle Black and becomes Lord Commander. So his actions right now, for the most part, are showing him still in his learning phase.

does anyone buy HBO's Jon Snow being competent enough -SoS spoiler-
I liked some of what they did with him in S1, but in S2 they've made him an impetuous man child.
to replace the Old Bear?

It hasn't shown him learning anything. It should be his learning phase, but they took that way for Ygritte's sake.
He was fine until he went beyond the wall and met Ygritte. Then the show changed to be all about developing her character at the expense of Jon.
It was really only two episodes though. I'm sure they'll turn it around now that he's back with Qhorin and captured. I trust they'll fix his character.

The model there looks a bit like an adult Arya. Creepy.
Our drunkenness is the fury!
EDIT: Actually, Ours is the Drunken Fury sounds better.

it would be interesting to ask the average viewer "so, what's this season of Game of Thrones actually about?"

If I'm reading that right, seems in line with Memorial weekend drops (or better than average) and still considerably higher than S1's memorial weekend.

As far as I am aware, for HBO and similar networks it matters more how many viewers they had for the week including repeats and not just Sunday's show.
Eh I wouldn't feel guilty.
If I knew a 6'6 body builder with the name Greg it would be hard not to think of him as Gregor.
If I knew an extremely short man named Tyrion etc etc

unsurprising not just from the holiday, but the utter failure of the season at building up to the battle.

Yup. Since it's a holiday weekend, it's no surprise that the numbers are down. I will point out that S1's Memorial Day weekend numbers were also a bit lower because that was the episode released early on HBO Go, but this week still had more initial viewers than any episode from S1.
That's correct. They're more concerned with the cumulative number once you add in reruns, on demand, HBO Go, etc...

Whether this is true or not this has absolutely nothing to do with the ratings. The ratings have been extremely stable and there's no reason people would suddenly not watch episode 9. It was the holiday.
OMG this has the worst synopsis I've ever heard.

It'll be canceled in no time flat, there's still hope for those who want him involved.
Some of you guys are acting like he's a big star.. the dude has been in Rome and had very little success since then. :lol Rome was 5+ years ago.
Or: Memorial Day weekend
Makes sense. I was out of town and had to watch on HBOGo which performed wonderfully on the hotel wireless.
I imagine the rest of the week will be great (I watched most of it again on Monday night).

I just love that the actor of one of the most hated villains in recent television history is being interviewed about his work in Amnesty International.
lol
I would imagine the majority of Robb/Cat's season arc will take place in Riverrun. We'll definitely get a Riverrun set and map location for it though. Especially when you consider that next season we might only be getting two new locations. Astapor and Riverrun. Though we might get Yunkai also if they don't merge the events there into Astapor.

No. This show had been incredibly steady and reached the season highest ratings last week. There is only one reason for the drop and it's been mentioned already. HBO doesn't really care much though, total viewers for the week will probably be the highest yet.
Actually, the show sounds kinda interesting. Purefoy as the serial killer that has spawned a legion of serial killer followers via his internet activity while behind bars and Kevin Bacon has to track them all down with Purefoy's help. Sort of Silence of the Lambs with a technological twist.
At any rate, it is a mid-season show and Fox generally signs their actors to exclusivity contracts, which means Purefoy would be unable to appear in another show that also airs in spring 2013 (ie Game of Thrones season 3).
You should edit the wiki entry then because as its written it sounds like total shit and nothing like this description you provided (which sounds like it could be good).

Yeah, it looks pretty good. One of 2 or 3 shows next year I'll give a shot. It's a shame it'll keep Purefoy from this though.
I'm not negating that; I'm referring to anyone that expected the episode to have had a jump in ratings due to what led to it and the events that transpired in it.
You should watch the trailer for it. Looks really good.

If that doesn't convince you then you should listen to someone who has already seen the pilot.

If that doesn't scream quality then I don't know what does.
Somebody missed the casting news.
Don't even got me started on the Jon storyline this season, it all started off so well and ended so poorly. I know Jon and Robb are good looking but this is not a soap opera, they are fighting a war this season and growing as men. That is far more interesting than them trying to figure girls out.

In book 2 he didn't show any leadership either. Though they did turn up the stupidity and made him more emotional in the show. Hopefully they give him better writing next season, along with Dany.

I am sure we have already discussed this but the Marketing department that handles these books is dumb as hell to name the series Song of Ice and Fire.
At least HBO realized that sounds terrible and rebranded it to just Game Of Thrones. Even with people that read the books we always refer to the series as GOT.
