sh|t, i was researching some information on Gendry and I spoiled the rest of the season, ****!

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Haha, I know what you mean. I went to George Martin sight to find out how many books were in the series and he had a page from the new book there that I read and it definetly spoiled a couple of things for me.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

There should be a pretty big even happen in tonight's episode!
Things in Westeros will not be the same!

Re: Game of Thrones
 

You know, this is the episode I've waited all season for. Sadly there are only two left, can't wait for season 2.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Finally all caught up. Great show if I ever get the time ill pick up the books

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I just downloaded the next 3 books and A Clash of Kings is off to a good start. I just can't put it down. Love the show. I really think HBO is doing it justice and I am hooked. Next season will be great. The newest book comes out next month just fyi.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

so what did everyone think of last nights episode?

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Even knowing how some things are going to unfold, it doesn't take away from the impact of actually seeing it play out.

I also kind of like and appreciate the fact that they don't waste time on epic battle scenes and focus much more on the human aspect and interactions.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Not happy about Ned!!

Re: Game of Thrones
 

yea, that is what was spoiled for me the other day. crappy. and im not happy about it. i really liked Neds character. I cannot wait to see what happens with Dany! :wo

Re: Game of Thrones
 

yep was not happy about ned getting killed off in the book

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I really liked Ned's character too, but when every character is eligable to be killed, it makes the drama much more gripping. I thought last night's episode was fantastic.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

That's exactly right, when you think a main character emerges they are likely to get smacked down somehow. I loved Ned's character and I like Sean Bean playing him but it was bound to happen, sometimes evil has to triumph for there to be a story and keep in mind this is one LONG story.

Book five in July and who knows when six or possibly seven will come out.

ftfy

Re: Game of Thrones
 

So I am deep into book two and boy you cannot guess what will happen next. You think you have it figured out and bam he throws a complete curve ball in there. The thing I like is how the characters seem so real. As I read book two it is playing in my head with the characters (actors) from the HBO show.

I was really pissed when Ned was killed and not to spoil it but other events left me disappointed too but I am still gripped by the story and can't stop reading.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

same boat here

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I am a little disappointing that they did not show any of the battle. Seems like they might not have had the $$ to properly put on a battle scene.

As for a book six or seven, I sure as hell hope he can wrap it up with six. R.R. Martin is a pretty old fat dude, and I doubt he could last long enough for too many more books, it would really piss me off if he pulled a Robert Jordan. Tolken pulled it off in four books, what is wrong with these new guys? Don't get me wrong I love the story, but it should not take over 10k pages it tell it.

Re: Game of Thrones
 

Loved Ned's character, but knowing ANYONE is fair game to die makes the story that much more intriguing. This is not Harry Potter, and I'm glad.

On a separate note, I now oddly find myself rooting for The Imp ...

Re: Game of Thrones
 

I hear that Tyrion is going to do something unexpected either in the next episode or the next season/book.
