favorite parts of last episode:

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

horse decapitation

Totally wasn't expecting that. I don't wince at much... plus I let out a stupid fucking noise too

[bundlesofvitals]

Sure LOOKED like that little kid really was suckin' on that there titty.

Hahah, I was thinking about the search for that kid..."NEEDED: 7 or 8 year old kid to suck on big ass tittie for television."

When the camera pulled away from that cell...

[THE KILL]

fook mi what an excellent show. Every episode has been better than the one before. I'd never have thought that they'd dare to show such copious amounts of gore and titties...

[neckbeard]

this is way better as a tv show

[Friendly Goatus]

Great episode. I was kind of caught off guard with the renly/loras thing but then I remembered that it was subtly hinted at in the books.

[Eight Foot Manchild]

I think that may be the first time I've heard male on male fellatio in a TV show.

[neckbeard]

Great episode. I was kind of caught off guard with the renly/loras thing but then I remembered that it was subtly hinted at in the books.

I was completely oblivious to this in the Books.

[The Real MPD]

Lying Goatus is just making shit up.

READ IT AND WEEP (WITH A BONER) MPD

[The Real MPD]

well shit, I don't remember any of that other than Loras' reaction after what happened to Renly in Clash of Kings.

tbqh imho, even though i've read it twice (and will be starting again soon), there's only one thing out of the entire fucking thing that I can recall about A Feast For Crows.

I guess loudly slurped cocks beat out subtly any day.

I watched 1-6 this weekend. This show fucking rules.

The crown scene in e6 was awesome.

[Friendly Goatus]

oh fuck today's episode has the crowning scene? hell yes

[Honky Kong 64]

Fucking hell that episode was awesome. I can't get over how great a job they did on the casting of this show.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Bronn vs. Vardis was epic and the crowning of Viserys was so damn satisfying to watch.

[THE KILL]

This is almost better than Trailer Park Boys... such epic shit... fuck

[CoconutBackwards1]

Did you read the books?

I just started the second and I really liked the first.

[CoconutBackwards1]

Why?

[CoconutBackwards1]

Alright, I just read 'em all. I'm back.

[CoconutBackwards1]

Oooohhh.

I thought you were being a jerk

I'm ahead of the TV series. I try to avoid this thread, but I want to talk about these books and it's too tempting to not end up here.

[CoconutBackwards1]

I heard the 2nd and 3rd were really good, but the 4th was a mess. Are you gonna read the 5th when it comes out?

[Friendly Goatus]

The fourth book may not have been as good as the first three but it was still good. I still don't get all the criticism.

[The Real MPD]

I don't think most people would have had such a problem with book 4 had the release dates between the two concurrent novels been much closer. I read book 3 and 4 as they were originally released so having to wait 11 years to find out what happened to Tyrion, Jon, Dany, Bran, etc. dulls the shine of the story.

[Eight Foot Manchild]

Did anyone do that "let's see how well the show is doing" marketing ploy and register on HBO.com for the advance screening of next week's episode? Was it worth it?

[Friendly Goatus]

I heard the video quality was shit and their servers couldn't even handle the traffic.

[THE KILL]

last night...

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

What happened with blondie and the molten gold last night was almost anti-climatic for me considering what a fucking loud-mouthed ponce he's been. I mean, they paint him as so fucking unlikable and so amazingly stupid that you were just waiting for him to get fucked badly.

yeah... i agree with this somewhat. in the novel the build up to that moment is glorious though, and it's perfectly timed. tv time constraint, blah, blah... while not perfect it still worked beautifully.

Yeah, I'm kind of nitpicking. I really like the show. But it was two weeks ago that I said to myself after his latest ill-advised childish outburst, "Would they just fucking kill him already?". I guess what got me about him as a character is that the show (and therefore, I'm guessing, the books) have some really deep, great characters. Tyrion is a great examples. He's so fucking likable but at the same time not a really a good guy all-together. So I guess I'm just slightly shocked that a story-line that can do complex characters so well chose to saddle us with a truly unsympathetic caricature like blondie. From the start he's been as 2 dimensional as the rich kid bully in an 80s teen movie.

I didn't find him that one-dimensional, but it's entirely possible I superimposed info from the book on the show, thus seeing things that weren't actually there. Anyway, he's definitely characterised as an arrogant asshole, but

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

the scene where he's in the bathtub with the whore gives you a good feeling for his past and his background. Also, he's just as big of an asshole in the book... only I could take him more seriously; the guy they chose for him has good acting skills, but he's just a bit too faggy for the role.

[Iron Goldie]

I heard the video quality was shit and their servers couldn't even handle the traffic.

Theres a rip of it online. The quality is alright, not 720p by any stretch though. Generally during calmer moments the quality is nice, but during more action oriented moments it gets pixelated as fuck.
