[Sgt.Pepper]

I have to wait like 2 hours to finish before they show it here! =(

 

[MrGame&Watch]

Bleh it's not loading on my Xbox

 

[Ghost23]

How is the new title sequence?

 

[charsace]

Boy, do I really hate Joffery. Really hate him. I can't think of a character that I hate more on any other show.

 

[royalan]

How is the new title sequence?

the same, mostly

 

[Frost_Ace]

How is the new title sequence?

There is dragonstone in the beginning but the music is still off sync :/

 

[LuchaShaq]

Holy shit multiple facial expressions from Hadley in her first scene.

Already better than season 1!

 

[royalan]

YASSSSS! READ her!

 

[Forkball]

Alien 3 cam.

 

[LuchaShaq]

The Warging scene reminded me of the start of Bioshock 2 in a good way.

 

[Kuroyume]

nvm

 

[charsace]

nvm

nvmX2

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Tracking shot of the Red Waste looked fantastic.

 

[royalan]

why's there only one?

 

[Moaradin]

why's there only one?

She implied there were more than one.

 

[LuchaShaq]

why's there only one?

Other 2 in the cages, saves a few dollars not having to render them inside of the cages when most will just be looking at the one anyways.

 

[charsace]

There's 3 cages on the horse.

 

[Shard]

Well, that was creepy and squicky.

 

[royalan]

Jon Emo

 

[Meier]

Few minutes behind.. Emilia Clarke looks even hotter than usual. :O

 

[Kuroyume]

Melisandre

drooooooooooooooooollllllllllll

 

[Van Owen]

Hbo go stream quality all over the place for anyone else?

 

[royalan]

Ok, I'm saying it:

Halfway through and this episode has been an absolute snore-fest.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Has R'hllor been pronounced yet?

 

[Chris R]

Ok, I'm saying it:

Halfway through and this episode has been an absolute snore-fest.

Have to spend some time setting up the new story lines. Give it time.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Ok, I'm saying it:

Halfway through and this episode has been an absolute snore-fest.

People like you are why we get shitty scenes with littlefinger telling chicks how to fuck.

 

[NewLib]

Ok, I'm saying it:

True, but to be expected. The second book starts really slooooow.

 

[royalan]

People like you are why we get shitty scenes with littlefinger telling chicks how to fuck.

Hey, I hated that scene, too. But a boring episode is a boring episode. I feel like the writers are more pleased with their dialogue than, you know...actually introducing audiences to these new characters and locations and setting up suspense.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Power is power?

WTF Cersei.

 

[Van Owen]

The new wolves look pretty awesome.

 

[brentech]

I didn't have huge problems with Lena, but she is showing much more capability already.

 

[LuchaShaq]

I didn't have huge problems with Lena, but she is showing much more capability already.

This. Not reading the book before Season 1 + the burden of pregnancy were probably culprits of 1 face for every moment.

 

[Shard]

AH and there is the sexpostion.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

I see they found more uses for Ros. We can look forward to more Sexposition.

 

[Magnus]

Good Christ, that was a perfect premiere. Loved it!

 

[Chris R]

Killing all of Robert's bastards will take some time.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Holy shit at the Gold Cloaks murdering every dark haired orphan/bastard

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Did they recast Gendry?

 

[jett]

This episode was interesting in that it honestly showed that a fuck of a lot is going on in the show. The showrunners really have their work cut out for them. People that haven't
read the books are gonna be royally fucked and lost down the road if they don't pull this shit off perfectly.

p.s. lena headey is still doing the one expression she knows

p.p.s. hiding the dragons in cages is some lame crap. I predict they will be the direwolves of season 2.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Wow, it feels like they've really stepped up their game this season. Just about everything seemed to work better.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Great episode. Loved the transitions between the different locations...thought that was handled very well.

 

[charsace]

The bastard killing was brutal. Showing that really highlights how crazy the queen was going.

 

[Kuroyume]

Pretty good premiere. A bit slow overall but they have a ton of storylines to set up so it's understandable. The wolves looked good. I liked the scene between Petyr and Cersei. Wasn't in the book if I recall...

 

[ezrarh]

That was really well done. Melisandre looks good in motion!

Also, Cersei isn't that great at being subtle is she?

 

[TheExodu5]

Did they recast Gendry?

Looks like the same guy to me.

Lena's acting is so much better this time around.

The Ros scene was...pointless, as usual. I still don't understand why she's a character.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

That was really well done. Melisandre looks good in motion!

Loved the throbbing red ruby on her neck.

 

[kaskade]

I never read the books so I'm kind of lost with what's going on. I'll probably end up watching the episode again on HBO go.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Wait I'm confused. Who ordered the killing of all those kids and why?

 

[Piecake]

Fantastic episode. And its good that the show is off to a great start since I thought the first few episodes in season 1 were weaker than the rest. I also think that this was a better constructed show, transitions, directing, etc, than pretty much any of the season 1 fare. Definitely good to see

 

[TheExodu5]

Wait I'm confused. Who ordered the killing of all those kids and why?

The Queen, because she wants to eliminate any possible heirs to the throne.

Janos Slint, the white bearded guard that carried it out, was the former city guard captain which she bought when he betrayed Eddard Stark in Episode 7.
