I did like how, considering how much of this show is "WHORES WHORES WHORES WHORES WHORES", we finally got some good old-fashioned romance. That was pleasant. I'm guessing it's just giving us one big happy moment before a torrent of horrible moments though. Seems likely. :lol
Nothing would make me happier to see that little shit get his.
I really enjoyed the conversation Tyrion and Varys had. With Varys telling him (paraphrasing)
"I've heard whispers that Danearys Targaryen lives and she has dragons. Once they were fully grown, no one could hide". And Tyrion telling him "one game at a time my friend". They seem good together.
i really love tyrion. he has grown into a really great character since the first season.
They should have slipped in a few "cunts" in during the romantic scenes to really throw the audience.
"You're my cunt".
"I am your cunt".
i hope they do the pokemon (the anime, not the games) thing if thats the case. you know like how ash wasn't high enough level to control charizard becuase he grew too quickly??
I've always wondered that man..... I've always wondered...........

There's no way in hell he didnt in that scene.
What about when Theon was doing Ros in Season 1...... apparently not cause we saw his dick....... fuck......

Ros didn't have an ass like that.
Still hot as shit though.
Yes, I am, and I don't expect anything from you. I don't know you.
There are literally only four characters in that core of the show. Four. I know my expectations of myself regarding this, and I find the idea that people can be confused by such a setup funny. That's all there is to it.
I was expecting someone to barge in with sword in hand and murder in the mind during that entire scene, haha.
I recall Davos' son very much approving of what Stannis is doing. It's Davos he has a problem with -- specifically his refusal to adopt the fire god

Davos' son probably was upset that Stannis didn't bring Melisandre along, thus depriving their forces of the blessings of the Lord of Light.
Pretty good episode. It was pretty subdued, but I liked that. It was the calm before the storm. The love scenes in this play a nice counterbalance to the other sex in the series, and really shows you something about the characters who participated in them, I think.
I wonder how Cersei thought that Ros was Tyrion's whore. The wife and I kind of agreed it might have been Varys that slipped her the misinformation. Seems like it'd be something he'd do. He seems to have taken a liking to Tyrion and how he "plays the game."
I'm also really getting attached to Robb. If he dies I don't know what I'd do...

oh, didn't think "pig shit" was that.

He likes how he plays ot because tyrion can actually do good, watch out for the realm.
Good catch. Back when it is introduced they quip about alchemists passing off bottles of pig shit as magic.
I think Stannis will definitely regret leaving Melisandre behind

Well, it does when we talk about the Nights Watch knowing and remembering Mance Rayder, and that he defected long before Benjen disappeared.
Though I guess the question still could be hypothesized if benjen defected as well.
That's not season 2's problem. The problem is that each episode is being divided into too many different storylines. Just compare how much time was spent with Edard compared to the average time of everyone else. We aren't allowed to linger on storylines.
Otoh what makes GoT great is how well they have managed so many different storylines and make them feel connected. They are struggling in Season 2 but even at their weakest they are better than a lot of other ensemble shows.

I posted this in the other thread, thought you guys might like it as well...
This was a nice touch. She's wearing it in her scene with Theon in season 1 (episode 5), and Theon notices it and comments that the dwarf is a good tipper. ("I guess gold is cheap for a Lannister.")

I think though that he's been out there longer than that and that the guys on the wall know who mance is? I don't think it was a nickname or anything
I have the feeling the son's snuck her onto a ship, and when all the pigshit (FIRE!) starts hailing down shit will get real
that's what i want tho ;_;

If you're going to talk about the show with respect to the books, please use the other thread. Full rules are in the OP for this thread and the other one. Thank you.
Help Stark? I highly doubt that with the Wildlings attitudes to Northerners and members of the Realm.
I asked this in the other thread but I was confused by what Tywin said. I was thinking Robb didn't send anyone to Winterfell, but instead a faction guarding another house was on their way there.
So is Robb going to be surprised by the night attack or is Tywin going to be surprised by a larger army? Maybe Robb sent a unit and I missed this.

Yeah, they said something like that last week when Robb was going to go there himself. So Tywin has the wrong information?

Oona might be the only cast member to have a more fantastical name than their character name.
Well, aside from JAMES COSMO, but that's a different kind of fantastical.

Roose Bolton is trying to get Robb to let him send his bastard up there to Winterfell. I think he finally succeeded in convincing him.
Tywin Lannister is most likely on his way to Kings Landing. Remember his conversations with Arya about his legacy. His family is extremely important to him and he knows Kings Landing will have a rough time repelling Stannis.
Tywin is trying to slip away South before Robb realizes it.
I learn names from here so i thought her character name was Oona.
I thought Tywin made it pretty clear he was going after Robb. Robb is still several miles away although close. Idk, maybe Arya misunderstood.
Slow burn episode, the reveal at the end was pretty obvious. I guess my theory that Tywin knew Arya's identity is dead and buried. After last week's humanizing moment, Cersei the Bitch is back. She just won't let me love her. It's going to feel like a long wait for next week.

That's going to be torture. I may actually dig into the books. I'm just afraid they'll kill my enjoyment of the show.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Nah, there are thousands of other books I can read that aren't being made into an amazing TV show.

This episode was such a stark contrast to last week's. I loved it.
Robb is such a competent son of a gun. It seems like he or Deanarys would be the best rulers for the realm. Well, actually Tywin would be very fair, but he's too old.
It's funny how the writers make us feel relieved when "other characters" are going to get tortured or killed or have been burned alive. "Phew; it wasn't anyone with screen time or a complex personality." It's so devious on their part.

It's exactly why she didn't get a proper nude scene. The hot ones always get out of it.
Also, is anyone else saying "Hodor" to themselves every time they see him on-screen now? Because I am.
Ah right my mistake.
I'm playing a witch doctor in Diablo 3.. and i keep refering to my minion guy as hodor.. also my house mate and i find ourselves both just sayigg hodor at any given time.. and the other always responds without fail "hodor."

It was proper enough for me. It's probably more to do with the scene anyway- plus, she's a Chaplin, probably can get out of doing full-on HBO nude with that card.
