The other one that got me is the Lord Commander's line about "when winter gets here" or something to that effect. ADWD?
See you in three years...
The CGI in this show is generally excellent, even in last night's episode. Even if it was mediocre (which it's not), it's objectively wrong to describe it as "shitty."
Le Chiffre!

You are completely misunderstanding my point.
I am not saying people get off on the act of violence
Tyrion is a fan favorite. The audience will be crushed by Shae's betrayal (it is far more than lying, her testimony is his death sentence) of him despite her "angelic" portrayal on the show. You would be lying to yourself if you think the audience wouldn't love Tyrion's vengeance on both Tywin AND Shae. Hell, I threw my hands in the fucking air when I finished that chapter in the books. I can't wait to see it play out on television even as much as it will suck to lose such a well written and portrayed character like Tywin Lannister (i couldn't care less about the loss of Shae, her purpose in the show for me right now is her betrayal of Tyrion. The actress doesn't elevate her to any level beyond her character in the book like Charles Dance does for Tywin). You are basically trying to argue that the audience won't enjoy to watch Joffrey scratch at his throat and die painfully. Is it going to be wrong when everyones cheering for a teenager to die? Immature as he may be?

A slow premiere, but a good one. Better than the second season premiere for sure. As everyone already mentioned, Tyrion and Tywin's scene was great and I also really liked Margaery's Princess Diana moment. The dragons looked great and the overall look of the show is gorgeous. Easily one of the best looking shows on TV. I also appreciated the fact that they didn't try to cram in every single character. They tried to give the narrative a little more breathing room, and even though they didn't succeed 100% (Robb's scenes felt tacked on, as did the bit with Sam), I'm glad that they're at least trying.
The Giant looked pretty good, though I seem to remember them being described differently in the books. (ASOS)
Haha, me too!

She's Daenery's rival.*

I actually didn't mind that scene at all. A moment with Ros where she's not being used to fill the show's gratuitous nudity quotient?! Whoa. It gave us a little bit of the commoner's perspective which is something the show often lacks.
I really enjoyed that line. Just before she said that I was thinking to myself "Man, Tyrion's scar looks really tame."
Yeah, he underwhelmed me as well. I was hoping for someone a little more jocular and fun, but there are still 9 episodes left for him to prove himself the fellow we all know and love!

Like giant sasquaches or something? I was looking forward to seeing that. 
Haha, me too!
I thought for sure that's how they'd end her storyline at the end of the season.

I thought it was clear that Daenerys did understand what he was saying, judging by her posturing and facial expressions during that scene. She'll probably reveal herself just before she Dracarys' his ass.

I'm sorry, were you spoiled? It was a very vague thing, so hopefully not.

Fear not, I am a reader. That happens to me all the time, though usually because I spell spoiler spioler as I'm typing too fast.

Well ya, but um, it was just messed up tags then?
Yea.

You realize the entire post is still there, right? He just broke the spoiler tag and then fixed it.
There was no sign of Jaime or the Maid of Tarth either.
Is there a reason there isn't just a button for it like there is for bold and Italic and everything else?

Or Varys who is fucking awesome in this show. Most underrated character imo show tries to make littlefinger look so much smarter.

Varys talks to Tyrion before Cersei arrives.

Identifying specific events as significant or as different from the book is, to me, a spoiler -- even if you spoiler tag the explanation. It's fun to discuss, speculate, and analyze, but when the book readers do it, it's like sparknotes giving the answers away. Same thing happens in the walking dead threads =| I will see myself out
There's a non book reader thread
She exists for something to look at during exposition. That's why she has always existed. in about 75% of scenes with naked ladies, somebody is talking about something that was an inner monologue in the book.
SoS major spoilers.
Her testimony was not a death sentence. That's a ridiculous interpretation of what happened. Read those chapters again. Cersei produced a mountain of evidence against against him and he had no witnesses. Everyone believed he did it. Nothing she said would have changed a thing. He murdered her for lying, plain and simple. Perhaps and likely because the queen scared her into doing it. This is a safe bet since Varys also testified against Tyrion and he knew who Shae was to him. Or it could be because she knew he was dead no matter what she said and thought this was the best way to save herself. But even if she did it for jewels, which would be totally impossible to believe of the TV show Shae, so what? That hardly deserves being murdered. It seems pretty bizarre to cheer for that.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
The CG is usually good...but am I the only one who noticed how BAD the water looked in some of the shots? It looked like a slideshow running at 3 frames per second in the background.
This is the thread for people who have read the books, so it's the one where discussion of the books are allowed. You use spoiler tags because not everyone may have read all of the books.

Meh, a betrayal like that definitely justifies murder in the eyes of the betrayed. After how well he treats her, she lies knowing it will completely fuck him over, then he catches her in his dad's bed, whether she doesn't show an ounce of regret, and still to that point trying to seduce him. She stabbed him in the heart harder than anyone had done, and it was the straw that broke the camels back. It's righteous vengeance, both she and Tywin deserved to die. There's a limit to how much Tyrion can get completely fucked over with no repercussions. The problem I had with the books is that I didn't feel like those that did the most evil acts got whats coming to them, and the good guys always got screwed over so brutally. ie, the red wedding.

Also, adding my thoughts while reading the second half of ASOS, Spoilers for that obviously:
I'm kind of excited to see Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail but I'm sure they won't be half as magnificent as I imagined them.
Also, adding my thoughts while reading the second half of ASOS, Spoilers for that obviously:
Arya and The Hound kick butt together, ARYA HAS NEEDLE BACK. JON STARK WAT (oh false alarm), Good guy Jaime giving his sword to Brienne, and saving his brother. Tyrion, the pot is the last place you should slay a man. Was Tywin doin' Shae? Peter, you dirty dog.
These thoughts are not in order.

Sure wish I could read that again for the first time. Truly the high point of the series.
This is just my opinion then I guess, but if you haven't read up to at least ASoS, then I would personally get the hell out of here lol. I was spoiled on certain things before I read all of the books. It's no fun.
Just stick to the other thread for your own good!It also sounds like there will be a decent amount of things included this season that actually take place after ASoS.
Yes. Tywin was doing Shae. How the tables have turned! What are you referring to when you say "JON STARK"? Refresh me!

I assume he meant the part where ASOS
Stannis offers to legitimize Jon as a Stark and name him Lord of Winterfell in exchange for declaring for Stannis and converting to the Red God, but Jon refuses.
