Tyrion is definitely the best character out of the whole series. Arya is a favorite as well, though she's obviously not gotten much development yet in the show. The Hound is a bastard, but he grows on you.

Watched 2nd episode last night and can't wait for tonights. Never read the books but I can tell this series will really spark my interest.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I'm glad Peter Dinklage snagged such a good role with Tyrion! He's a solid actor and what a great character!

The intrigue begins now that Ned has arrived at King's Landing!

It took me a while to figure out who was playing Jeor Mormont at Castle Black. I knew I knew his face but couldn't place the series! He was in Sons of Anarchy as the priest in the last season!

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I didn't really enjoy episode #3, what did others think?

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I think it definitely lacked something. Haven't exactly put my finger on it though. Episode 2 was really good so maybe I just raised my standards after seeing that. I bet they will rebound with episode 4 though. It's not like every episode can be awesome.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

The boobie quotient was way down -- maybe that was it.

I saw this episode as a "set the scene" type of thing. Went back and re-watched the interchange between Ned and that smarmy sister-fokking prince in the throne room. (God, I love HBO Go on my iPad!) I hope Ned bashes that dude's dome in at some point down the road.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Too much talking and not enough mammary glands. :D

Re: Game of Thrones
 

That may have been what I was looking for. Naturally the "boobie quotient" was down because the episode only had like 5 minutes of the dathraki (sp?) storyline. I think that storyline is more interesting anyway.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

What about the scene with the Queen and Prince Joffrey. That was sickening. I can already tell there is gonna be some crazy stuff started from these two. Heck that sick bicth might even start having s3x with the Prince. Would that be much of a surprise?

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I'm not going to touch that....

But the show as a whole was good. Sure it wasn't as climatic as the first two episodes, but the table needs to be set for things that are coming.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I never read the books, and I hope there's no spoilers in this thread, but it wouldn't surprise if the prince is the offspring from brother and sister. They're a pretty F'd up family. As for episode 3, I thought it was ok, it sets up alot of things for only the third episode.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

There's tons of stuff yet to happen. This series is following the book sometimes as close as line by line. Martin does lots of stage setting for future events, it'll have pay off episodes and set up episodes.

The Dothraki are a very good storyline and become more important as things progress in the series.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

yeah, i was told by one of my buddies who has read the books, that episode was a good springboard episode. says that he expects BIG things in epi 4.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Well, I watched all three episodes (twice) so I think I'm caught up. Looking forward to #4.

My favorite part so far is after Ned gets asked to be The Hand of The King and his wife is telling him he has a choice of accepting. To a man like Ned, his only choice is to accept, no questions, no hesitation. It's how he's made, it's what he believes in.

I like Ned.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Daenerys Targaryen. Think her brother is pissed? I love a hot girl with spunk.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I just watched epi 4 last night. To me another set up show. I know that epi 5 aired last night. The previews looked awesome.

Vinerys Targaryen is a scumbag! I can't for his sister to cut off his hands or something. haha

And oh wow, has Tyrion got himself in a mess of trouble. That scene where Lady Cateline calls upon allies of her father to 'apprehend' Tyrion! That gave me goosebumps.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Watched episode 5 last night and all I can say is it keeps getting better. Can't wait for next weeks.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

last nights episode was very good
lots of stuff going on

Re: Game of Thrones
 

youre right, i need to watch this one again, i feel there is a few things i missed!

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Can someone help me out here? If the answer to the question will be a spoiler or sorts for furture episodes, then please don't tell me.

Who were the two men talking in the dungeon? The two men Arya overheard talking about killing Ned and something about a rebellion.

Is one of them Lord Varys? Not sure on the spelling, but the Lord in the consel that is the messenger of sorts, the one that's bald.
