I've only read through Book 3. I'm trying to stay one book ahead of the series.

« on: May 14, 2013, 01:25 PM »Damn you GOT - I actually find myself starting to care about what happens to Jamie Lannister! The thing that really stood out to me in the scene where Dany was dealing with the slave trader was how much she had taken on the mannerisms and tone if Viserys - it was almost uncanny.
Jaime Lannister may be one of the most dynamicly developed characters I've ever come across in any literature.
I agree... His character's stories are very compelling.

Me too! Danny's storyline in this book is one of my favorites. But there was enough setting up the rest of the season and beyond.

Where is this half season going to end? The Red Wedding? The Royal Wedding? Both? It seems like if they are stretching out this book across two seasons, it will be hard to have both weddings or am I mis-remembering the last half of the book?

Mine looks like that too. No complaints from me for my first Jumbo figure. I wasn't prepared for how big the cards were

Caught up on the last two episodes. I was really looking forward to Danny's taking of Astapor (sp?). My favorite part of this season so far.

I'll just try to forget
realistically at this pace, I'm years from finishing book 4 and 5 and I'll probably forget in reality

« on: April 16, 2013, 07:42 AM »Theon disappeared until book 5, and then it was half the book until his true identity was revealed.
This is another situation that works in books, but wouldn't on TV. If he just appeared a few years from now in the show he'd be easily recognizable, and the mystery wouldn't make sense. I like what they're doing instead. Kinda like the Untold Tales of Westeros. And they're really developing a great new villain.
Well at least I won't continue to think I'm crazy trying to remember his story. I guess I need to get going on Books 4 and 5!

I flew through book 3 and I don't recall any resolution of the Theon storyline - is this covered in Feast of Crows??
Anyway, I really liked this episode. And I'm really looking forward to seeing Danny's next scenes!!!

When I was rewatching Season 2, I skipped over the intro/music each episode (trying to conserve a minute (lol). I had to fight myself each time I did it though. I just love the opening sequence and theme.

« on: April 3, 2013, 03:37 PM »I was pretty much expecting to see Ser Barristan as soon as they showed the recaps of Season 1 & 2 at the top of the show. They very deliberately showed the scene where Ser Barristan quit the King's Guard in Season 1. The whole Dany storyline was very compressed, as well. But all in all, it worked.
The scene between Tywin and Tyrion was easily the best acted scene of the episode. Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance play these roles amazingly well! And I definitely appreciated when Cersei said that she had heard that Tyrion had lost part of his nose in the Battle of the Blackwater. It was a good nod to fans of the books who may have taken umbrage to Tyrion's wounds not being more severe.
I agree completely on this... I too liked the "nod" to the book with Tyrion's nose injury.
