George R.R. Martin/Game of Thrones

[the wicked child]

Yeah, can't even go to the site now. Damn thee hbo.

I just watched next weeks episode without a hitch. I blame the entertainment thread for my success

"Made the bald man cry"

I was anxious to see the "crowning" scene. Very well done.

[eddysnake]

watched the new episode last night on HBO GO, quality was pretty decent, had it running through the HTPC to the TV. So this was the episode that everyone will be talking about...

Spoiler:

I was trying to figure out if that was because of Robert dying or the 5 minute lesbian scene you get to watch?

Spoiler:

the subtle disembowling of the animal when jamie was getting the "get something accomplished in your life" speech and the little finger betrayal of stark were the highlights for me

Spoiler:

I think HBO did the episode a diservice by calling it "the episode everyone will be talking about". It was a solid episode, no doubt... but there wasn't anything too ZOMG to warrant that label. I guess the betrayal of Stark may have been what they were talking about... but it was hardly shocking, and I haven't even gotten close to that in the book yet (I'm probably very early in Episode 2 lol).

Well, knowing the book, next week should be amazing. If not, episode after.

Get ready for lots of wtf

[PensFanInDC]

Nothing says bad ass like slicing a guys throat and then pulling his tongue out of the gaping wound.

Last nights episode was kinda slow but it is setting up some major events for next week. How many more episodes left? By the looks of it they may breach the start of the next book this season.

Spoiler:

What the wildling captive at Winterfell said about the troops heading the wrong way is exactly how I have felt through all the books so far. How much is a kingdom worth if its dead?

Finally went to the library to pick up the first book, but predictably it was checked out or on hold at all of the local satellite locations

Worth the $8 imo or I could just send you one of my copies. (The wife and I wanted to read it at the same time so we have 2)

Thanks, I'll probably just buy it on Half.com though, because I'll want to have them on the bookshelf. I'm happy I am getting into this series AFTER most of them were written, unlike Dark Tower where I had to wait half my adult life for the next book.

[the wicked child]

Amazon had the set for like 20-23 bucks or so.

I wouldn't say that just yet, the new one comes out in July and then 2 more which we may or may never see in our adult lives.

Tongue throught the throat was a new one for me, 100% awesome. I noticed in the credits that George R.R. Martin wrote last nights episode.

Yeah, it's just under $20. I picked it up last week. I've cruised right through the first 300 pages or so. I'm amazed at the excellent job HBO has done translating it to the little screen. So much better than Pillars of the Earth, which just wasn't done well.

[shafnutz05]

Nice, I'll have to buy it

[the wicked child]

o snap.

[meecrofilm]

It's true what they say, don't get attached to any characters. I'll probably hit up the books after the series ends (whenever that may be) but so far, very entertaining.

[PensFanInDC]

o snap.

I'm about to watch tonights episode but I'm pretty sure I know what this is in reference to lol.

[meecrofilm]

Also, how good is everyone's use of spoiler tags here? I'd like to discuss the show as it unfolds, but I know many here have read the books as well so I don't want to end up stumbling upon a spoiler (even a minor one).

Been good so far. I try and mention my spoilers by book or tv show as a warning.

[the wicked child]

I believe it was agreed earlier that all book spoilers should be tagged as such. I can't recall anyone breaking that rule so far. We've generally put details about the week's episode into spoiler tags as well, but no tagging.

10 minutes in and lord frey looks EXACTLY as I pictured
