HBO : GAME OF THRONES - Spoiler Thread

[XXXIV]

I used to be in the Knight's Watch, until I took an arrow in the knee....

Naples wins the internet until further notice.

[EZSnappin]

Yeah, Naples, that was f'n brilliant.

[Naples39]

And I was worried it was too corny.

You forgot your audience. No chance of that here

No doubt. Can't be too corny or too horny on this board.

That was hilarious, Naples.

I loved tonight's episode, it was the best of the season so far for me. I'm guessing a lot of people are going to have a very negative reaction to the last 5 minutes, but having read the books I promise the show isn't going to turn into "Lost".

Well, I've seen dragons suckle at a barbarian queen's breast, and now a shadow demon crawl out of a fire priestess's cooch. May as well stick around until the tree elf princess sharts out the unicorn...

She got pregnant and gave birth in what seems like days.

Everyone talks trash to the imp, even though he's suppose to have a lot of power. But he put that boy-toy knight in his place.

Joffrey is a little freak. It's funny that Tyrion and his knight thought getting him laid would make him less sadistic. The knight guy talked about "getting the poison out" which is out of Howard Stern.

"There's no cure for being a c^nt."

Truer words have never been spoken.

I know, the wife and I laughed very hard at that.

[Danimal]

Yeah umm WTF came out of her snatch last night?

Maybe it's me but this show is moving at an incredibly slow pace this season. After the recap and opening in the beginning and credits roll I feel like the show is 40 minutes long,

[Brando70]

Season 1, while having a lot going on, tended to revolve around Ned Stark in most of the plot points. With him gone, there is definitely less singular focus. I think that's why this season seems a bit slower. They have to take the time to show all the various players and what's going on.

Given this show's appetite for sadism and just desserts, I can't even imagine what is waiting for Joffrey.

[wco81]

It looked like the smoke monster from Lost.

I guess the books are so big because they keep introducing characters and races, like the guy who intervened in Qarth to let them into the city seems like he'll have a role to play for awhile. Or at least probably saved what's left of the Dothraki from starvation.

How would the Qarthians know about the dragons yet those on the other side of the sea probably don't know yet -- if they did, you would think they'd renew the order to kill Dany and the rest of them.

[Lancer]

One thing I didnt get was the part where the girl walks by the burnt city and they said something like dragons did it. Maybe this is revealed later.

They're at Harrenhal, which is an old, enormous, ruined castle. I think it's just a nod to the ancient age of dragons and foreshadowing for Dany's dragons.

This is pretty entertaining;

...Melisandre, who, like all high school hippies, is really only tolerated due to her predilection for nudity...

This is Qarth, or at least the outside of it, “the greatest city that ever was and would be,” and it’s guarded by the self-appointed “Thirteen,” a snippy little sewing circle of spice merchants and bed and breakfast owners....

Westeros was always a brutal and scary place, but at least there was a lot of sex to lose yourself in. Now it seems even ladies’ netherbits are dark and full of terrors. Is nothing sacred?

[RobVarak]

Greenwald's recaps have been first rate this season.

[webdanzer]

In Westeros, like gym class, wit is something only cultivated by freaks and outcasts...

Heh! I'm going to have to keep up with these...

[RobVarak]

A couple episodes back he dropped this gem:

“I don’t imagine it’ll be a story fit for children,” the grim, Greta Gerwig-ish warrioress Yara Greyjoy declares, while being Littlefingered by her fancy brother on horseback.

My guess is that the other rider Daenery sent out, he found Qarth and talked with one of the 13's about the mother of dragons.

That is exactly what happened. Maybe I dreamed it.

Why is this a guess? There was a point made when he returned to Dany's camp that he was on a new horse, not his own. He explained the people of Qarth gave it to him and invited "the mother of dragons" to their city.

Or am I imagining that?

You DEFINITELY did not imagine it...

Pretty well-groomed for a wildling.

Pretty well-groomed for a wildling.

I found that turn of events to be very irritating. There are apparently no limits to Snow's stupidity when it comes to setting up a meet-cute with a wildling playmate. Foolishly allow her to live? No problem. Chase her blindly through the wastes of the North, abandoning my unit in inhospitable enemy terrain? Sure, why not! Then let's just bed down right on the tundra with no cover.

It was a small annoyance in an otherwise awesome episode, though. I love when they use the Arya storyline to set up these sort of Saturday matinee action-adventures. The guy keeling over dead right at Lannister's doorstep was hilarious.

I'm assuming that Littlefinger identified her. I watched that scene twice, because I wasn't sure at first.
