With all these shows nowadays having a "spring" and "fall" seasons, I thought there was a chance.

 

[Buckethead]

Have they explained how they're handling AFFC/ADWD?

I assume that they're blending the two?

Really excited for the

Maergery vs. Cersei

stuff from Feast.

Sweet, sweet summer child.

 

[zychi]

e: apparently i need to spoiler an opinion. so i just deleted it

 

[Buckethead]

I peeked in to the no book thread and I was kinda surprised how much they seem to hate Sam over there.

I think they've made him a bit of a whiny bitch on the show.

Can't remember the sequencing of the books but felt he was whiny but more redeemable/strong there.

 

[Pocks]

What's going on in this scene?

[Episode 8 Preview / ASOS]

Spoiler

http://i.imgur.com/o5opYiy.gif — That could almost pass as Tormund in the background, but I also see what looks like the banner of House Tully. I'm not remembering this scene from the book.

Stop.

 

[gregor7777]

Great plot episode IMO. Loved it.

Stop.

Why do people see something spoilerish and quote it? Dude.

 

[Levi]

I feel sorry for anyone out there still stanning Baratheon, because asides from the Davos and Stannis scene everything in Dragonstone was a hot mess. Wiener leeches really? GoT gonna GoT I guess. No Theon this week so there has to be sexual violence in another scene?

Only book-accurate part of Daario's attire was his weapons. I look forward to much fondling of his hilts. RIP Stormcrows, blue hair, gold tooth, yellow clothes.

Very disappointed the dragons weren't on hand to eat those severed heads. CG is expensive--the wiener leeches and shattering sword must have eaten up the budget.

That shattering sword looked terrible too.

be right back. gonna go write daenerys/melisandre fan fiction

It looked fine.

What the fuck is the matter with people in this thread

 

[Baby Milo]

Are we absolutely sure that

Red Wedding

is in the next episode?

cant wait

 

[Dany]

THe show does a better job foreshadowing events without giving away details better than you guys can, so how about you all stop?

Only way to do it really since it happens concurrently.

 

[Lkr]

so why did sam leave the dagger? i don't remember this part clearly from the book

ASOS

Spoiler

he lets Grenn keep it in the book.

I would wager that in the show, Sam is probably shitting his pants at what just happened, thinking there are more Others, and just high tails it forgetting about the dagger.

 

[DrForester]

I thought the Dagger broke when he used it in the book.

 

[dubq]

Nope.

 

[Sai-kun]

I was under the impression that the daggers were somehow one use only when used on walkers.

 

[dubq]

I'm looking at it right now. It's the end of chapter 18. It just gets really cold for a few moments... Does not break.

 

[blainethemono]

I thought the Dagger broke when he used it in the book.

I think (ASOS)

Spoiler

that happened later when he tried to use it on a wight

 

[vehn]

It's WIGHT, silly HBO

 

[Last Hearth]

The sword shattering due to coldness is actually in the prologue of AGOT, that happens to Wymar Royce's sword.

I actually like it that they brought that moment here to show the power of the WWs.

In ASOS Sam uses the obsidian dagger on a Wight but the dagger breaks on the chainmail of the wight so it never actually penetrates and does its magic.

 

[vitaminwateryum]

It's WIGHT, silly HBO

Wasn't it a White Walker, though? Technically it was more of a white than a wight.

 

[DrForester]

Well, what Sam killed tonight was a White Walker/Other not a Wight. Wights are the zombie people.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Tyrion wedding scene was awesome

 

[RobotsAnger]

It's WIGHT, silly HBO

Wights are the undead. Whites are the GOT name for the "others".

 

[Fuzzy]

Tyrion wedding scene was awesome

I loved Tywin getting pissed that people were laughing at a Lannister.

 

[Last Hearth]

I loved Tywin getting pissed that people were laughing at a Lannister.

Of course he would, that's the main reason he hates Tyrion, Tyrion draws too much mockery on the Lannister name.

 

[Judderman]

White Walkers.

 

[Dysun]

Tyrion/Sansa Wedding and Slayer were really great. They lived up to my expectations and then some, also loved the Stannis scenes

2 weeks hurry up!

 

[Four_Chamber]

Great episode- Dinklage did a tremendous job. Looking forward to the next episode, a little upset that I'll have to wait 2 weeks though!

 

[IAmtheFMan]

I'm gonna spoiler this and just leave this here:

Spoiler

But still, this episode left me a little frustrated. I know that what we’re seeing is the first half of the third book, and I’m more and more afraid that there isn’t going to be quite as devastating a closing punch as there was in the last two seasons.

Just sayin' is all.

 

[ZeroRay]

^Ha! Just read that.

Spoiler

A part of me feels like that reviewer knows what's gonna happen and is just playing it up.

AHAhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm crying because it hides the pain.

 

[Zabka]

I wonder if we'll get three episodes in a row of impossibly attractive women getting naked and dry humping a man just to abuse his boner. Going through the reset of the season in my head trying to see where they could fit it in.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Nah, he's been pretty steadfast with his spoiler-free nature.

 

[Dysun]

All of the female nudity, none of the male! Sounds fine

 

[blainethemono]

I really loved that cut to (ASOS)

Spoiler

Joffrey having fun at Tyrion's wedding after Stannis says the names over the burning leeches. That really felt like one of those book reader trolls we've been seeing all season long

Also got chills when (ADWD)

Spoiler

Stannis mentioned seeing a "great battle in the snow" in the flames. Loving all this winds of winter foreshadowing

 

[cj_iwakura]

Daario was great. If they nominate Dinklage for an Emmy this year, that Joffrey line needs to be the clip.

I thought it was foreshadowing for the battle beyond The Wall, but it makes sense for the Battle of Winterfell too.

I didn't even think about that actually. That does make sense. Stannis vs. Ramsay was the first thing that came to mind when he said that though.

 

[ZeroRay]

ASOS

Spoiler

While I'm not totally against the writers downplaying Tyrion's lust for Sansa compared to the books, I wonder how they'll work in his growing feeling of inadequacy due to Sansa's rejection of him.

Spoiler

Nah, he's been pretty steadfast with his spoiler-free nature.

He better be!

Edit: Pretty good timing for those who check out A Read of Ice and Fire. It's an ongoing blog series where Leigh Butler - who's never read the books before - reads and reacts to each ASOIAF chapter.

Spoiler

She's about to hit the big one three day's before the show!

[Morrigan Stark]

Man drunk Tyrion was awesome. His wretched and pathetic side really came out nicely. I chuckled at Bronn's polite nod towards Sansa when she walked down the aisle, I dunno why. Another excellent episode with very few things that made me shake my head in disapproval, and nothing at all that made me nerd-rage. This season's on a roll!

So Shae knows Tyrion didn't bed Sansa. [ASoS]

Spoiler

I thought they were gonna play up the jealousy angle for the trial and betrayal later, but she had a small smile at seeing the unspoiled sheets. Clearly she's happy that Tyrion didn't screw Sansa, so I wonder how the jealousy wil fit in now...

I'm okay with the change, too, especially since Sansa not knealing was more justified in the book, imo.

And who knows how many people would forever hold a grudge on Sansa for not knealing for precious Tyrion.

Yeah same here. I was a bit disappointed that she knelt, but I know why they did it. Without access to her inner monologue, it'd just seem to be nasty for no reason and it'd come out of nowhere.

Bullshit delivery of a very powerful moment

What is this referring to?

And so my watch begins

I didn't like that line much. I greatly preferred the book line, "Never? Why... That's why the gods made whores for men like me." It did convey his sense of resignation in a similar way, but the reference to the Night's Watch is just strange. We know Tyrion isn't gonna go celibate, lol.

Good ep tonight

Where is [ASOS]

Spoiler

Coldhands? Reading episode descriptions I thought we were getting him tonight. Maybe next season?

I thought so too, and after seeing [ASoS/ADwD]

Spoiler

all those ravens in the weirwood tree I thought for sure Coldhands was gonna show up, and was disappointed that there'd be no Sam the Slayer. I thought the "older gentleman" from the synopsis was gonna be Coldhands, not an Other. xD But then they seem to have picked the Coldhands introduction setting, and put it for the Sam the Slayer part? Weird.

I loved the ravens in that weirwood, though. Especially the close-up to that carved face. You just know Bloodraven was watching!

I guess Coldhands will only be introduced in S4, then? Come to think of it there hasn't been any casting that suggested he was in S3...

All of the female nudity, none of the male! Sounds fine

Bah. >:| Gendry's not really my style (he does have gorgeous eyes though) but come on, HBO, why so shy at showing us male nudity? Pfft. At least we didn't get that stupid lesbian scene...

 

[Operations]

I still can't believe the next episode is two weeks away

 

[Archer]

[ASOS]

Spoiler

That is a bloody perfect promo. They're building it up like one of the big events will be the conquering of Casterly Rock...

I think the RW is the event that Dan and Dave talk about being so excited to have the chance to depict on television. With that in mind, I reckon they'll pull it off wonderfully.

which is the next episode, yes?

Spoiler

that last image in the preview says it all.
