Game of Thrones [The TV Show Only; Please No Spoilers Based Upon the Books]

Well,

I saw that coming, but...

I hear a few people complaining that they do not like this season as much. I still think it is consistently good, just not hitting those highs of the first two seasons.

I'm finding it just as good, though it may be a little less eventful. This is possibly due to the decision to divide book three into two parts. I know there's a lot to cover in these books, but I think the challenge of compressing it each book into about 9 hours may make for a better TV experience.

For some silliness check out the parody in the new issue of Mad magazine.

.

That is good to know.

Remember, no spoilers for those of us who haven't read the books!...

2 episodes left this season!

I'm totally thinking a Lannister is going to kill another Lannister. Any of them but Cersei might kill Joffery. Any of them might kill Tywin. I think (hope) Tyrion is safe for now. I also think Cersei and especially Jamie are safe for now.

(As an aside, the whole stuff with Theon I'm really not digging this season. I hope there was a point...)

Ah, I envy your innocence.

Readers and non have both not liked the weekly torture porn section. Fortunately not in the last episode.

Not saying anything

Only two episodes left....ack

Tonight's episode was exhausting...where can this show go now?

As someone who has not read the books, that was . . . unexpected. I know main characters can get killed or maimed any time in this series but I thought this story line had more to play out.

Wow.

Ok, so I'm assuming that was the surprise, right? Like, next week it doesn't turn out that Dany is actually a dude or something.

Wow. Agreed that I saw a lot more in that storyline, especially because so much time was spent to develop it. I mean, REALLY a lot of time... wow.

That said, I was always curious how two competing "good" interests with separate agendas were going to work things out...

Burn in hell, Freys.

I knew once the young daughter was looking out at the twins and they did that whole "so close but so far away" thing that it was not going to end well. Didn't think it was going to be that violent though!!

Another good episode.

No spoilers - IIRC the third book is being broken into 2 seasons? Assuming that is right, there are a number of big surprises coming up. Book 3 was awesome.

like when Eddard Stark got killed off?

Just watched the episode. Bummer. I was starting to like the character.

Yes, their splitting book three into two parts and my theory is they'll merge books 4 and 5 into two seasons, but not in book order. Book readers know why, but my lips are sealed.

Which character? A few have died this season...

Best comment I read in a forum:

I really need a new family to root for. Team Stark just isn't working out. God damn.
