"Several new stills released today. Some of the ones people are probably interested in (new characters): Mel and Stannis: Davos: Brienne: Great casting. My only complaint there is that Stannis doesn't look quite as menacing as one might expect but the actor has chops so I know he will do well."

Agreed on both parts. Ser Davos looks spot on though.

2/14/2012 11:00:17 PM

Based on the still posted, I think that lines up with what I imagined of Brienne. I mean, I did a double take wondering who the scrawny dude was. Agreed with Melisandre, and I also concur that the shot of Stannis just doesn't look grim and menacing enough.

i havent read the books so i dont want spoilers, but rewatching the show made me think Lady Stark is a huge bitch for the way she treats Jon Snow. she should be pissed at her husband, not the kid.

i assume that gets addressed at some point and she is redeemed somehow...

2/24/2012 6:49:46 PM

^everyone has their flaws, hers is being a huge bitch.

2/24/2012 7:20:32 PM

Thats why Jon Snow kills her though i thought

2/24/2012 8:20:22 PM

lol

2/24/2012 8:25:36 PM

omg teh lawlz

But for rills, he's the living embodiment of her husband's infidelity. Why shouldn't she hate him?

2/24/2012 8:45:56 PM

b/c he did nothing wrong? why does she love her husband and hate him?

even if she is allowed to hate him, she still should not treat him like shit

i'm saying it isnt a big deal but it seems hard to say that she isnt a cold heated bia

2/24/2012 10:21:41 PM

I understand what you mean, but you're missing the significance of the overall character of Eddard Stark.

This man is the living embodiment of honor. He never makes the unethical choice because it is easy. This dude cuts the heads off of every motherfucker he passes judgement on. He yielded the throne of the fucking kingdom to Robert, even though he had the opportunity to take it for himself.

If you are Catelyn, you can't blame Ned. No one can. Even though they all believe he has a bastard that claims him as a father. So, therefore, Jon gets the punishment.

Any of you guys see the Simpsons Game of Thrones parody opening tonight?

That is a link to it. Props to the Simpsons creators for putting some fine details in there like the three eyed crow (instead of Blinky the three eyed fish, heh). I'm surprised they were able to use the actual music from the show.

Season 2 is going to put the first to shame.

3/5/2012 9:32:01 AM

Finally finished this up this weekend, pretty good so far looking forward to the next season

3/5/2012 10:01:33 AM

What thread do I post a concern about the amount of time it takes certain plots to develop if they closely map seasons to books?

3/5/2012 10:16:30 AM

i love hbo

3/5/2012 10:18:54 AM

^^ not this one

3/5/2012 10:55:01 AM

So yesterday my mom (60, very Christian, can't stand movies with blood, etc.) called me and asked me if I'd heard of Game of Thrones. I said yeah, I loved the books and the TV show, but she wouldn't be able to handle it. She was like "I dunno, I'm halfway through the first book and I love it so far!"

3/5/2012 11:30:55 AM

haha nice

3/5/2012 12:00:15 PM

The first season is out. I've never seen it. Is it worth picking up?

3/6/2012 3:56:10 PM

Yes

3/6/2012 4:01:27 PM

Yes

3/6/2012 4:03:16 PM

Yes

3/6/2012 5:09:20 PM

Yes

Someone offered me 1 gajillion dollars, scott free, no catch....is this amount of money worth picking up?

3/7/2012 9:12:59 AM

only if you are not a quad-gajillionaire

3/7/2012 10:10:27 AM

The bluray extras are really neat... I love the history of the houses. The commentary is pretty good- they talk a lot about the differences between the book and series and why they had to make those changes (like Dany's eye color). I felt like I got my $35 preorder out of it even though I already had the season saved.

3/7/2012 4:06:52 PM

Cool, I'll go pick it up tomorrow. How are the books?

3/7/2012 4:45:35 PM

I'm really looking forward to the interaction between Cersei and Tyrion this season.

3/7/2012 4:51:17 PM

^^ The books are better than the show, but the show, so far, has been a very good adaptation (about as good as I could have realistically hoped someone would do). Season 1 was awesome.

The books are great and really nice reads. The first three are truly great and have some real moments.

3/7/2012 8:10:41 PM

i wonder what the residuals check GRRM gets for the books has bumped up to over the past two years

i'm sure he's always made some nice cash on the series, but after the tv show came out the first four books went back on the NYT bestseller list

3/7/2012 9:13:56 PM

My girlfriend just started getting involved with reading The Hunger Games, so I figured I would find a book series to get lost in as well.

3/7/2012 9:46:25 PM

The difference being that Game of Thrones is good.

OOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAPPP.

3/7/2012 9:50:09 PM

Hahaha. I don't know enough about either yet to comment.

3/7/2012 9:52:41 PM

Ehh, I've read all of ASOIAF and 2.5/3 Hunger Games books. ASOIAF has its problems--primarily the fact that it's fucking interminable and the fact that GRRM has probably never had sex in his life (spoiler alert: I know he's married), meaning that the portrayal of women in the books is almost as bad as it is in LOTR.

The Hunger Games, on the other hand, is like a middle-schooler's dramatic interpretation of Das Kapital. It's derivative, it's a shitty story, and it's poorly written. I've bought all of the books, and even though I'm so close to the end I can't make myself finish it. /complaining

^ The important thing here is that you've found a way to be superior to both authors.

Season 1 purchased. Books ordered.

Dl'd the first four on my Kindle last night.

Waiting in the hospital during my wife's cholescystectomy, just started reading AGOT.

Thx. Doc just said she's done. Will be able to see her soon.

3/9/2012 11:53:20 AM

So was rewatching the series....my question, how did the deserter in the beginning make it back to the otherside of the wall?
