Shit, scouring the wikis to find out what Rhaegar gave to Lyanna at the tourney spoiled something for me that I'm guessing is a pretty big spoiler

Series Spoiler:

Spoiler

Rhaegars child still lives and was switched with a peasant baby.

Don't feel too bad about it, it's not that much of a surprise when it happens and won't ruin anything for you.

 

[Cornballer]

Yeah, don't go searching for things on the internet unless you're caught up with the books. It really isn't worth it if you're concerned about spoilers.


I'm sure this will be met with resounding enthusiasm here in this thread.

Also, I found this amusing:

I'd agree with most of those except for Ros. Arya and Tywin I'm mixed on. It was great, but it seems to have come at the expense of other things and Harrenhal ultimately feels like a loss. Wish they could have found a way to balance her story out.

 

[Trojita]

Ros is terrible. She is pretty to look at especially for a whore though.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

You're way way off there.

Absolutely. I watched the entire second season not having read the books and many of the scenes were missing VFX and in rough cut form and it was thoroughly entertaining even then. Great job on the second season and cannot wait for the 3rd.

[NathanMcMahon]

What?

My girlfriend works on the show. I'm lucky enough to get access to the rough cuts on DVD a few months before the show premieres.

Dany had no balls this season. She did nothing in the books but she did even less in the TV show this season.

Speak for yourself?

No. I am going to speak for you.

Of course I speak for myself. Out of all the characters she made the least progress.

 

[Solo]

I like my Dany with tits and not balls

 

[PhoenixDark]

Well at least she has some pots and pans to sell for a ship now!

Yea...that arc was poorly handled

I really liked it, actually. "You're a Dothraki Queen- OWN IT"

What have YOU accomplished this season, Dany!?

But at least she hasn't become borderline retarded like Jon.

I am the mother father of dragons!

 

[bengraven]

I am the mother father of dragons!

If it makes you feel better, a very minor character is coming up named Brown Ben and he doesn't do shit either.


THEN AGAIN, did YOU lock away some guy and your handmaiden who fucked you over in an airtight vault, cross a wasteland, explore a magic tower, and look gorgeous in purple and bronze in the last 10 weeks? NO?

I did. not. fucking. think. so.

 

[Nlroh]

Out of all the characters she made the least progress.

The writers even gave her a line about the lessons she learned at Qarth to make it seem like something happened.

THEN AGAIN, did YOU lock away some guy who tried to marry you and your handmaiden in a locked vault, cross a wasteland, explore a magic tower, and look gorgeous in purple and bronze in the last 10 weeks? NO?

I did. not. fucking. think. so.

I like Brown Ben. Shame he probably won't make the cut.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

What do you guys expect Dany to do? Fucking backflips? She's the mother of dragons and needs a ship. This isn't pokemon. *Drogon used fly!*.

- A Podcast of Ice and Fire takes a look at the finale *book spoilers*

Episode 80 for the week of June 3rd, in which we review the tenth and final episode in the second season of HBO’s Game of Thrones. House Manwoody and House Gatewatch combine forces this week, as we are joined by returning guest hosts Phil (Winter) and FaBio from Winter is Coming.

Notes: As usual, spoilers from all books in George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series are present.

 

[ezrarh]

Pidgey is stronger than any these punk ass dragons.

Hmm, if only.

You know nothing, bengraven.

 

[bengraven]

I like Brown Ben. Shame he probably won't make the cut.

He's one of those who will be cast eventually, when his small part becomes vital for a scene or two, then thrown away the first chance he can get.

Much like Greatjon Umber.

You know nothing, bengraven.

 

[Trojita]

She doesn't have enough badges to use Fly yet.

Too bad she did that over the course of 10 weeks instead of 7.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Too bad she did that over the course of 10 weeks instead of 7.

Yeah this was the problem with her. The changes were fine, and I feel better that Irri is gone now that Doreah has met a worse fate, but they stretched it out way too far.

 

[frequency]

It wouldn't feel so stretched out if she wasn't in almost every episode.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Doreah actress was so hot. Gonna miss her.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

It wouldn't feel so stretched out if she wasn't in almost every episode.

Probably her new contract. No nudity and she has to appear in at least 90% of the episodes.

Edit: Irri was hotter

 

[Krogan]

But at least she hasn't become borderline retarded like Jon.

Well they did the same to the rest of the Knight's Watch so at least he fits in.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Ha, true enough.

At least she left like a queen.

don't talk about jon that way

 

[Pollux]

Is there really no nudity in her contract?

 

[Anton Sugar]

How Dany Got Her Groove Back

 

[Fuzzy]

Is there really no nudity in her contract?

We don't know for sure but why else would the perverts running the show change her appearance in Qarth from the book where she has one breast out the entire time? Because the extras didn't want to be nude? I'm sure they could've filled Qarth with a bunch of porn stars.

I don't like this turn of events one bit.

 

[Nlroh]

I thought they said something about the Qarthian fashion being too distracting.

 

[Anton Sugar]

I thought they said something about the Qarthian fashion being too distracting.

That's hilarious. As if watching two women fingerbang each other isn't distracting as a key character explains his motivations.

 

[Fuzzy]

I thought they said something about the Qarthian fashion being too distracting.

I don't believe that's the real reason.

Yep, I sure was distracted and didn't know what was going on with all the other boobies on screen in other scenes.

[Forsaken82]

You know, a couple thousand posts ago, it seemed like this thread was against a lot of the gratuitous sexuality/nudity and now people are trying to understand why the showrunners decided not to show some of the most unnecessary nudity (that being Dany in her Qarthian garb, or lack their of)?

If there was ever nudity from the books that didn't need to be on the show, it would be Dany walking around bare breasted for half a season.

 

[Levi]

I'll go on record as wishing the show was canceled after season one. My imaginary season two is way better than the bowdlerized version HBO gave us, and even thinking about what they did to Arya Stark raises my blood pressure.

I am glad the show is returning, maybe this show can be salvaged... and at least hboshop will likely have official Team Daario shirts. (SOS/ADWD]

Spoiler

you know they are gonna milk the shit out of the Dany/Daario/Jorah triangle. The twilightification of ASOIAF!

I was never one of the people complaining about the nudity.

You're wrong, it was vital to her character!

That's the great thing though, I can always imagine it the way I want to.
