Omg are you kidding me? Overreact much? We just shouldnt have book readers come in and join in on discussion where it's unsure if a certain thing will happen or not. Book readers need to adhere, the other posters in here have had great discussion throughout all pages!

Reminds me of this fucking guy.. Mr Mystery Man....

Definitely. Damn thing is so cute lol.
Yeah, it was sort of a strange scene.

They were terrified and unable to move.
That said, it was great seeing Brienne crushing fools left and right. That is one impossing lady. I hope she has a chance to kick more ass if those Pyke cunts dare to lay siege to Winterfell (I'm already feeling bad for half of the characters there, sigh).

Yup, she did a great job of showing off her skills.

I just realised that Littlefinger is in an awkward situation. What are the chances of him trying to marry Margaery to Joffrey? She surely looks determined to become the queen... I guess that could also be BAD NEWS for poor Sansa...

i'm wondering if stannis still has support of that other family (marge's). probably not as he's a bit of an asshole.

They explicitly said that all of Renly's bannermen rallied for Stannis... except the Tyrells.

I saw bits of the Jack Black movie Year One in passing this weekend, and had to do a double take on Kyle Gass as the eunich. Thought it was the Spider at first.
Not so much in this picture but their mannerisms were very similar.

pretty sure the actor plays to that. I'm sure he played the lead villain in the excellent "the fades" :
who interestingly later ends up looking like this:
small world (when you're a british actor anyway)

Waaaait, Joe Dempsie is the weird bloody bald guy?!
the actor who plays the creepy mage guy in game of thrones also plays the villain (called john) in the fades.... who later transforms, and is then played by joe dempsie. (Basically, actor who plays mage and joe dempsie play the same character in the fades)

Theon's really pissing me off... unless I'm missing some subtle details back through S1 to now.
I mean, I know Ned and Co. captured him as a young boy, but in turn didn't the Starks bring him up, raise him, train him, and eventually treated him as one of their own? He even became best pals with Robert, helped train Bran, etc.
...and now he's going to fight against them, on commands of his asshole father, given the shittiest ship in the fleet, all the while being endlessly mocked by his shithead sister, just because... uhh... bloodright?
Make the right decision, Theon. Fight for the family that truly cared for you.

That makes a lot more sense, ignore my temporary stupidity. Poor guy, he must actually look something like that in real life.

I may be one of the few people that partly sympathize with him.
Yeah they brought him in but Theon was still seen as a semi prisoner and would always be in the shadows of the Starks and seen as the son of a dishonorable family by that community.
There is probably something appealing to the idea that through the philosophy of paying the iron price he can earn the affection, admiration and true sense of belonging he would of never achieved in the stark family. At least that's my thought process on the matter.

My sympathy for Theon plummeted when he was stopped by Maester Luwin from abusing Osha during S1.
Fuck Theon. The salty cunt.

Well, both her and Jaime hate tyrion and would be fine with him dead. However, no one, not even Ned, predicted that Cat would man up at such a stupid time and actually have him arrested. To be fair to Cat, she was afraid she was found out about the crime as well.
That's definitely true, but both Stannis and she could have used each other to defeat the Lannisters. It would have been a back hand deal but no one would have suspected she was the murderer anyway.
I'm not quite sure what was said at the meeting between Renly & Stannis, but ned favoring Stannis could have resulted in some goodwill. Robb is going to have to go down and jkiss his butt anyway for assistance.

If he was treated anything like Jon Snow then i can't blame him.

plus the Starks killed his older brothers as a punishment for the rebellion
The main one that treated him like garbage was Cat. At the same time, from the moment the lannisters arriver (Even Tyrion) to him going to the Wall, I couldn't help thinking how tough it is to be him and being called bastard all day long.
Well, it was because his father gave him up. I have mixed emotions about him honestly. I think overall he's a not bad apple but he carries a lot of baggage. He doesn't really know how to be noble. Even his royal lineage is a bunch of hillbillies.
Like I said before, he reminds me of a better developed Anakin, so it's hard for me to imagine he'll be anything but bad.
It doesn't help that I will always favor the Starks (Who will eventually pledge their support for Dany)- This is joke specualtion
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I love Brann's ability to be a level headed ruler while the grown ups are gone. He didn't even need his steward and the reasonsing for assisting the one village was spot on even if it opened up a danger for Winterfell.
Theon is a bit of a dick most of the time, but I'm actually starting to like him more in season 2. True, he has many flaws, but he's also one of the more believable characters in the show. And then there was this badass scene (one of the very best so far).
e: I think he's quickly becoming one of my favorite characters

The actor playing Theon is one of the ugliest people in the show. Dude looks like a cracked-out Mick Jagger. And recently the directors have decided to use these close-ass shots of his face. Seeing his penis last season was bad enough, I don't need your camera 2 inches from his face in every shot.
It's disgusting.

Definitely (I should have put lol). That series is too long and unfinished for me to be interested in. The show is doing for me at this point.

The music during his baptism is pretty great. Actually, it was during the last episode that I realised that each nation has its own theme.
It blows my mind that he is Lily Allen's brother. Granted she is not the prettiest girl out there, but she is not the ugliest neither.
I mean, wut?

The one guy who makes me want to punch my tv is Joffrey. That smug look the little bastard always has on his face, it burns me up. Perfect casting!
Oh, ok. I'm loving the show format too. I'd rather take in this story and characters this way as opposed to the books.
I assume you're asking about Roxanne McKee.

As a stark he'll always play second fiddle to rob, he's been back with his "true" family for a few weeks and has already been given a ship, crew and a chance to make his own way in the world. They're hillbillies, slavers and rapists...but i like them, maybe because they're all out of fucks to give.
having read the first book, I actually think the show is superior. Book readers would flog me for this post, I'm sure.

I wonder if there are any laws in Pyke preventing Theon for cutting the throat of his crew of rebellious douchebags without due process.
Man, as much as I hate him he gets shat on by everyone.

Nah, this thread is great.
I've been pretty impressed with the CG so far. The dragons and the Dire wolves look great. I understand that because of budget/schedule they can't probably do a full on battle scene but it would be so awesome seeing Robb's army with Grey Wind charging towards the Lannister's army. That would be epic.

Apparently Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday) directed an actual battle for what is left of S2.
I'm hyped as fuck. Marshall is fantastic with tight budgets and ultraviolence, so HBO and TV seem like the perfect medium for him.
