He said why.

I won't comment about the books anymore either, since this is strictly about the show. And I won't spoil anything about the show either. With my last post I was just trying to clear up what most people were saying about the books, and adding a few things, but that's all I'll contribute.

The series is pretty damn good regardless of the changes, which are inevitable. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this whole series plays out through to the 5th book. This story has so many plot lines and so much to come as well.

You don't get it.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

In any case, I really like what they are doing this season. Last season you knew there would be conflict, but they established a known universe that had existing rules (EX: The Iron Throne rules the kingdoms, the wildlings are at bay, and dragons/magic don't exist). This season, tipping over with Ed Stark's execution, all of this has been put on it's head. The question isn't who will be on the Iron Throne, but whether or not the Iron Throne will even matter anymore. The entire world is revolting and you are left with a sense that all things are possible and their current conflicts may end up being trivial in the greater scheme of things. Completely brilliant.

What does he, or I, not "get"?

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

This part. I wanted to be funny.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

This wasn't my favourite episode. Not because I thought it was bad.
Just because I wasn't anticipating that much intense silence/dialogue in one episode. I guess they had to cram it in for set-up for next episode(s).


I have nothing to really comment on because not a whole lot really "happened". It seemed more of a set-up for future episodes, which is totally understandable and okay. Heavy dialogue and character building needs to be accomplished, too.

My favourite parts were when Aria gave _____ his own name, and he said "A girl has no honour", and she just shrugged nonchalantly. I thought that was great on a lot of levels. Also the pronunciation of the writer of The History of the Battles of Westeros (or whatever it was called). Dinklage is a great actor. The way he just stared at that book afterwards when he wasn't in dialogue like he was still trying to figure it out, then just gives the subtle not and a "Ha!" later when the name is said.

Definitely a calm before the storm episode, checking in with every character and major plot point before their climax. Damn only 2 episodes left.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

After two episodes that were light on The Dink, it was good to see him back in full awesomeness last night. May have been his best performance yet.

I was person B! :D

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Think best ep of the series to date.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

unbelievably good episode, surpassed all my expectations. From start to finish I was blown away. One more episode left..... I can't believe we're already pretty much done and have to wait another year.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

Illyn Payne creeps me out.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 2
 

That was the most badass episode of pure badassness that has existed to date.

"There are brave men outside of those gates. Let's go kill them!"

Those White Walkers were something eh? I can't wait for a Storm of Swords.
