Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Now that was the best episode of the series so far. This season is awesome.

I think this is as far as I've read in the books, too, other than the next thing that happens with Dondarion/The Hound.

I don't remember this stuff with Theon at all, though. I don't know what that guy is playing at.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

**Maybe Spoilers?**

This stuff with Theon is actually not in the books. If they followed the books strictly, he would not have appeared again for another 2 seasons or so, with all the shenanigans portrayed in the TV show being somewhat alluded to in between. Readers know generally whats going to happen regarding his storyline, but all the details are brand new, and very exciting to watch.

Oh, and yeah, awesome episode and ending.


PS: Pod the Impaler FTW!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

I don't know if they answered this in the show... if they did it went right over my head. But who exactly captured/tortured Theon?

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

I don't think they have said yet.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Oh okay, thought so. No spoilers needed hahaha...

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Oh man that moment

Hated that dude.. and was so pissed he was getting away with it all, but the reveal and then.. mah gawd!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

The show makes me feel kinda bad for people who had it coming to them.. like Ned and Theon lol. I won't feel bad for Joffrey or his mother if they die, or littlefinger

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Wait, Ned had it coming to him? O_o

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Lol yeah after watching the series again I think so.

It may have just been forshadowing, but he beheads an innocent man in the first episode who was telling the truth about white walkers. I have a feeling everyone will eventually be paying for people like Ned not taking the white walker threat seriously.

Don't get me wrong, he's an Angel compared to most of the characters, but he's still a war leader and likely has a ton of innocent blood on his hands just by supporting Robert (even if indirectly like the Targaryen children)

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

The guy wasnot innocent. He deserted the Night's Watch which is a death sentence and the guy knew it. If he wanted people to get prepared for thewhite walkers then he should have reported back to his supervisors in the organization that was founded to fight the white walkers.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

True. As far as we know anyway. The night watch guys he was with claimed he'd be killed as a deserter too, who's to say the night watch wouldn't have done the same? In his eyes it was a death sentance either way.

When someone is faced with death like that, they can make dishonorable decisions to try and survive.. Ned did it himself

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

:(

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

I had to work so haven't watched yet. Although I've read the books and know what happens, I'm trying to avoid spoilers on how the show handled it. Pretty anxious to watch it.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Knowing what was going to happen did not save me.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Haha, those reactions were nice to watch. :D I don't watch the show, but I read the first 3 books. And I'm waiting for lazy GRRM to finish his last 2 so I can (re)read the whole series!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

That was.. yeah

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

I've decided the Rains of Castemere episode is the worst thing I've ever seen on television (or in movies) in history. It took me explaining it to a person who doesn't watch the show for me to comprehend how disturbing that scene was.

*Spoiler Alert!!!* (From TV show, not books))















































*Spoiler Alert!!!*
























If you're reading this, and haven't watched the show... well your bad, I warned you lol.

It goes from a wedding scene where everyone's happy, doing their little traditions. Even the uncle is happy because he got a nice looking girl. Robb's unborn child gets a name (if it's a boy) and Catelyn seems to finally be accepting her son's relationship... then everyone gets killed, starting off with Robbs unborn child, and his wife (who did absolutly nothing wrong) who gets stabbed multiple times in the stomach.

I can't think of a scene I've seen in anything that was worse. Went from a feel good moment to the most disturbing slaughter of 2 main characters ever lol.








*Spoiler Alert!!!*

























*Spoiler Alert!!!*



























End.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

The last episode was good buy felt empty. Rains of Castemere was a hard act to follow.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

There were a few ways I thought they would choose to end the season...and they didn't do it.

Instead they chose to end the season basically the same way the ended Season 1 + a few other episodes.

1. Dany does something amazing
2. Jorah looks stunned
3. Dragons

Other than that, still good episode.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Did Daeny get her army in this episode? Because that was pretty cool in the books.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

They needed to set up the next season. Ending after last week's episode would leave many wondering why they should continue to watch due to their investment in the Starks. The last episode reminded everyone there is still a lot going on.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

@Angrist: That happened a few episodes back, and was indeed awesome.

@Professor_S:

Spoilers from books that have not been in the show yet:

In the books, Catelyn comes back from the dead via Thoros, except she's different. Merciless and seeking revenge. I expected them to end with her waking up, since it's going to be nearly impossible for them to hide that the actress will be back next season anyway, and it would have showed people that things aren't quite over for her.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

No pun
But dude was a dick

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

They'll be best of buds. I can feel it.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Sometimes they list an actor just because they use him for flash-backs. I'm not sure if GoT has those, but it wouldn't automatically spoil to everyone that there will be a return.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Now we have The Purple Wedding

I'm never going to a wedding in Westoros

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

SPOILERS:




How the events of the Purple Wedding unfolded: http://imgur.com/gallery/0EQr6 . It's pretty awesome that they've basically already shown "who dun it."

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

That is the single most brutal thing I have ever witnessed on TV or in a movie.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

That was a pretty great episode. Tonight's was as well. I'm super stoked for the finale. If they even do half of what I've been expecting it will blow everyone's minds.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Evidently the finale is going to be 66 minutes.
