I didn't mind and I'm sure it doesn't matter. Was saying it just in case someone else started complaining. People can get touchy in here.
What exactly are you planning to "express"?

I think episode 2 has leaked <_<
<Ep2 shit>goddamn the salt wife is gross in episode 2. that's not just 'inflated nerd-ego' type commentary, she is legitimately URGH!? I almost gagged. Melisandre is super hot confirmed. Also, I dunno, I would hit Asha... I mean, "Yara". She is super ugly in that commercial, and she sort of seemed...I dunno. Maybe it's by comparison to the salt wife, but now she didn't seem so un-fuckableThis is my pervy commentary on pervy episode 2.
[EP. 2]
I missed "it tastes salty"... but yeah, she was fugly. And I agree about Asha/Yara, I found her attractive in the episode. And... of course, Melisandre <3
Did they mess with her eyes there? The saturation looks crazy, I don't remember it being like that.

Episode 2/ACOK
I'm still not entirely convinced by Stannis (especially that scene O_O), but Balon Greyjoy was excellent and Davos was great as well. I kind of wish they didn't have to make plots that were only hinted at in the books so explicit on television, then again I guess they have to introduce these characters somehow. I noticed that there was no Robb or Bran at all in this episode, so I'm guessing they're going to feature prominently in the next one - and Renly? They haven't even got to Stannis sailing south yet (though they now have Salla's ships) so news of his arrival might end the 3rd episode. We know that the Davos/Melisandre scene is in the show from the trailers, so hopefully Storm's End will feature somehow. I hope they don't change that part so that it's Renly she's murdering... Renly should already be dead by that point, so hopefully it turns out that way.
Unpopular opinion ahead:
I liked the character in the books, but I think the actress is poor.

Not poor but she aint that good either tbh. Cersei is growing this season if the premiere is any indication though so we'll see about Arya.
Hey, I'd knock it.<Ep2 shit>goddamn the salt wife is gross in episode 2. that's not just 'inflated nerd-ego' type commentary, she is legitimately URGH!? I almost gagged.

This may have been mentioned before but... <EP2>
Why did they change her name from Asha to Yara (or whatever it was)?

boooooooooo this man! booooooooooooooooo!
Isaac H. Wright didn't have much to work with in the series so far but he made me like Bran more because he looks adorable.
Also, this was cute (notsureifposted):
I didn't notice it at first at the end of that scene
Isaac has been fantastic. A very talented young actor and the most adorable kid ever.
edit: What's going on here, gang signs? They grow up so quickly.

Robert and Joffrey are the two characters I liked more on film than in the books. So enjoyable.
Justin Bieber just aint that good at the moment. But like I said before all these people will probably grow.

lmao! He had his hands relaxed during the meeting, but when he noticed how Luwin had his clenched like that the entire time he decided to imitate him in order to look more respectable for the next guy.

Maester Luwin is 100% more awesome on the show than he is in the books!

Haha he's not bad.
I also think I'll like Davos and Stannis quite a bit. Davos is one of my favorite characters in this series and they thankfully picked a talented actor to play the part.

Seriously, Maester Luwin is cracking jokes/making fun of people left and right in the show. He's basically an info dump in the books.

He was practicing thousand years of death.
I'll give you Robb, Jon and Davos.
The kid who plays Joffrey is insanely good, I've never hated a kid as much this one in my whole life.

Dany, Robb, Tywin (Charles Dance is just that awesome) and the Mormonts for sure are better than their book counterparts. Jon, Jaime and Littlefinger are about the same as their book versions, not better, but not worse. TV Catelyn is better than book Catelyn. As is the aforementioned Luwin. Most of the other characters are on par with their book versions.
edit: Septa Mordane was also better than the book version. I like to think that she took down two or three of those Lannister guards before they took her head.
edit 2: Thinking about it, I don't like Shae's casting so she may be the only character I like less in the show. Not that I really liked her much in the books either.
Yeah, he's great. Pretty much how I envisioned the character.
Her actress seems pretty bad imo. I didn't like her in the books either, but the actress they chose for this (a (former?) porn actress I think) is pretty much amateur hour. Hopefully she doesn't get too much screen time..

Well I wasn't sure if you were referencing me ever since my tumblr gifs rant.
Well I was actually referencing you and that thread, but in support.
Maise Williams deserves an emmy end of discussion. The only thing I would have done differently is more cat scenes:
That is fucking adorable.
Yes, hells yes, yes, no, yes, no, no. And for Davos: jury is still out.
Littlefinger is nice and sociopathic, but not nearly as sly as the books.
Mormont I still see as Brian Cox.
Tywin we've only seen like twice, but he was underwhelming to me.
Thanks! I figured as much. It really threw me off when I heard it the first time.
The only character I like better in TV-form is Robert Baratheon. That guy was a non-event in the book, nobody cared about him, Mark Addy truly made him his own. He's the only actor that did that with the character they play, as far as I'm concerned. Most everyone else is just going through the motions to be honest. Especially someone like Jon. He's just too stoic, unfeeling, and completely lacking in personality compared to the image I have of Book Jon. A lot of characters in the show share these qualities actually. It's not quite how I pictured the world/cast of ASOIAF.

Theon makes specific reference to this near the end of CoK after Osha escapes with Bran and Rickon. Oh well, I guess that little joke isn't worth creating confusion
I absolutely love Joffrey's look in this. Completely missed it in the episode. Gleeson is a good actor. Hopefully he's recognized as such later in life.
Dude, I know that feel.
Dance with Dragons is the last book, it's the fifth one in the series.
I'm sure he'll always be recognized as pure evil. The guy is typecast with that face.
He is a good actor though.

hahaha. Your avatar makes me proud.
But that face was also in Batman Begins.
Seven books planned. Five released thus far. Who knows when Martin will get the sixth one out. It took more than a decade for 'Dragons to be released.
