Kind of amusing that he has Rob on his shirt.

Didn't notice that... LMAO.....

I didn't either

Damn right he doesn't know what he's doing.

You can't swing a stick without hitting a gorgeous woman in that cast.

Good time to bump this.....

:clap:I'll give you a hand for that.:clap:

Brilliant way to end S3E3...bravo!

I was hoping that they wouldn't hold back, and they did not!

Holy shit!

WTF!
Dammit is that the way it went down in the books? I liked Jamie as a badass.

They weren't as clear about the losing of his hand. All I remember is he was captured one moment then in his next chapter his hand was gone and they were describing the pain of it. I liked the way they did it in the show.

Well, that was surprising. Losing a right hand is going to make it a bit harder for Jaime to fight effectively to say the least. And it was right after he did a good deed and saved Brienne too.

Loved the scenes with Daenerys. She told off Jorah and Barristan after the negotiation, but yeah, I agree with them...a dragon does seem like to high of a price to pay considering all that we've heard about what they can do. She no doubt knows something that everyone else doesn't as usual, though, I'm sure.

The scene with Tywin's small council and the chairs was hilarious at the beginning. That's the first time we've seen Varys this season, wish we'd see more of him.

And who the hell was the badass who saved Theon? A Stark, perhaps? Took that guy out like the orc did to Sean Bean in LOTR. Theon manages to get himself into worse and worse shit every week, it seems. I'd stick with that guy if I was him.

Well in the books, they pull his arm out and the guy swings his Arakh (big curved blade the dothraki use) and Jaime screams. You don't know if he's dead or what until the next Brienne or Jaime chapter when you find out they cut off his hand.

That was the sweeper guy again that helped Theon escape in the first place. This part is all different from the books, so not sure yet about that guy and what he's up to. Not gonna say more in the non-spoiler thread.

Ah, yes. That's right.

The dragons are Dany's no matter who she "gives" them to... ;)

Half way through the first book. Could they make the Catelyn chapters any more ****ing boring?

so how does the fat black watch guy stay so fat?

Genetic pre-disposition.

No, it was pretty crystal clear it was lopped off.

He's the one who is really eating Craster's babies.

Anyone else find this episode especially comical? From the Tywin, Cersei, and Tyrion scene at the beginning, the scene with Hot Pie and Sandor Clegane, the scene with Pod, Tyrion and Bronn, and last but not least "The Maid and the Bear" punk rendition.

ROFL

Yeah, there was a nice mix of humor in this episode. Even Edmure missing the boat with his arrows was kinda funny.

Yes. It was also mentioned in several "professional" reviews, so you're on the mark. The end song was the Hold Steady for those who aren't aware. Great band.

24oz sodas.


I'm about 3/4 through book 3.

You will all shit in your trousers. I await the youtube video responses almost as much as what is coming.

There was a lot of uncomfortable screaming to balance that. Gilly, Theon, Brienne, and Jaime all screaming like mad!

I thought the scene with Tyrion, Bronn and Podrick was the best of the episode. It was comic relief in an otherwise dramatic show/episode.

I think Jamie thought he had freedom on lockdown when he got Hoat to remove the shackles haha

I don't know if this has been mentioned in here but the girl who plays Shae (Sibel Kekilli) also did porn under the name of Dilara. I am at work but plan on looking for her later when I get home. :drool:

Woah, didn't know that! Gape of Thrones? Midget porn?

Sent you a PM with search results.

edit: oh wow. German pornstar.

I am guessing she is the queen of ****ing dragons.. As soon as the armies is loyal to her, she will tell teh dragon to come home or kill the guy.. It is not like he has a army to come after her..

Only on Chiefs Planet.... This site is awesome...

Sounds likely. But yeah, I'm not up to date on the rules of owning/giving birth to dragons. Seems Jorah and Ser Barristan aren't either.

Count on the third dragon finding Dani down the line. Basically, the dragon is at boarding school right now.

5:00 PM can't get here fast enough.

Thank God for phones at work.

Cool interview with Peter Dinklage over on playboy.com:

No nudity, but since it is Playboy, consider it NSFW.

Is this an opinion or a spoiler?

I'm not him, but... that's opinion.

Either that or a joke. Everyone knows that dragons go to prep school not boarding school.

It's a prediction. I haven't read the books far enough to know if that's true or not. I just know that Dani clearly has something up her sleeve and it doesn't involve losing one of her children....right?

They actually did it, eh?

I know they've been faithful to the source material, but I didn't think they'd take his hand off in the show.

Unfortunately I'm always a season behind on the HBO series as I'm not going to pay for HBO for one show (and I always just download them all during the free preview weekend the following season when the new season starts).

Enjoy. Season 3 will be outstanding.

It already is...and we're almost at the halfway point. I know this is an expensive show to produce, but I wish they could make more than 10 at a time.

They should create entire episodes based around all these characters instead of only giving them a few minutes at a time. But that's something that's unavoidable, though, when you only have 10 episodes a season to fit everything you want in.

And that's really the only complaint I have about this show, there isn't enough of it (and there are so many good characters and story lines that could use more screen time).

There's also a spoiler in the first response paragraph here. Not that it's surprising (in fact, that detail is something I already knew), but it's a spoiler nonetheless.

Yes sir. First oh shit moment since Ned Stark died, in my opinion.

This map is awesome. It shows you where each main character has gone in Westeros. Just make sure you put in the correct point of the story you're at to avoid spoilers.

You can do it by book chapter or episode.

That's awesome! Eddard's trek makes me LMAO

ROFL

Damn, I didn't realize how far Qarth was away from Westeros.

Theon's location is a question mark on that map right now. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I was kind of hoping for a clue.

Hell, I didn't realize how far Qarth was from Pentos. That chick has had a journey.

That episode.... Was filled with pure awesomeness.

Man, this is my favorite show on TV. That scene with Dany just owning everything at the end was so awesome.

And those books. Oh my God. I'm 3/4 through Clash of Kings, trying to catch up to the show. I think. I love not knowing what's going to happen but at some point I'm going to have to surpass the show. Either way, this is my favorite show on TV and definitely one of my favorite reads. Except those Catelyn chapters....

F'ing A...what a GREAT episode!

The final scenes with Dani and the Unsullied were great...just great.
PBJ

I'm thoroughly confused about what's happening with Theon.

I was out of town on business last weekend through Saturday, so I just watched last week's and this week's back to back. Holy shit, this season is epic.

That was the first real episode with Varys this season. Both his scenes, particularly the monologue with Tyrion with the box reveal at the end of it, were great.

I was waiting for somebody to kill that asshole Craster. Too bad it had to come at the expense of Jeor Mormont getting stabbed in the back and total chaos for the Night's Watch. The Mormont death was no real surprise considering the name of the episode, though.

Jaime's depressed about the hand. Yeah, that sucks. Time to learn to fight with your left hand, I guess.

I don't know who that guy with no eye is in the Brotherhood without Banners, but I think he might just have some trouble beating the Hound in a fight for that trial by combat.

Theon's gotten himself into even more ****ed up shit somehow with a crazy guy who released him and saved him from rape one day only to apparently bring him back to get tortured some more. At least Theon expressed some remorse for all the bullshit he pulled last season and realized Balon hates him. So somewhat on the right track...maybe. Except for that crazy guy.

And of course, it doesn't get any more badass than what Daenerys did in the final scene there. Epic takeover. I didn't consider just handing over the dragon and having it burn him with fire to pieces, but perhaps I should have. One of the best scenes in the entire series probably.

All I know is things keep getting worse every week for him.

Wasn't that guy a Targarian? I thought that's the name they called him...

Nope, he's this guy (apparently part of a vassal house that fought for Robert and Ned): http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Beric_Dondarrion

And I think he may be in some trouble if he thinks he can beat the Hound head-to-head.

Awesome episode from start to finish! Especially the finish!

Only thing that would have made the last 20 minutes better was if Mormont had choked the life out of the SOB that stabbed him from behind like a wuss. Sam getting Gilly out and on the run was good. I'm looking forward to that part and seeing where it goes next week.

Loved Varys in this episode. His wizard in a box revenge was cool, and something that wasn't in the books, though most of his dialogue in that scene was straight out of the books. Even his scene with Roz was enlightening, and any scene with the Queen of Thorns is enjoyable, she is a feisty one! Varys hasn't been seen much this season, but he was featured in this episode, and he delivered well.

Loved the scene with Tywin and Cersei. The actor playing Tywin may be the best one on the show (which is saying something). He is sooo perfect in that role. Tywin summing up what all book readers come to realize eventually, Cersei is just not as smart as she thinks she is. Margery is eating her for lunch on the show right now, which is funny. Watching Margery control and manipulate Joffrey with such ease, and much to Cersei's chagrin, is pretty entertaining.

The scene with Jaime and Brienne was excellent too. I really felt sorry for Jaime (sister banging, Ned stabbing, Bran throwing guy that he is). He saved Brienne, he's loyal to his family, and there may be another side of Jaime starting to come out, especially as he deals with the loss of his sword hand. The dynamic between him and Brienne has been well played, both actors doing a good job with those roles.

I liked the Brotherhood scene. Short, but spelled it all out quickly and effectively. Made it clear who Beric Dondarrion is, and what the role of the Brotherhood Without Banners is, and their affiliation with Melisandre's red god/lord of light. Arya (the bravest one of all) accusing the Hound of killing the butcher boy was right out of the books. She is ready to strike one name from her death-wish list! Can Beric beat the Hound?

The Bran scene may have been the only throw away scene in the episode as it didn't add much, but it was creepy and his dream scenes are always enjoyable.

I also really enjoyed the Theon scenes and how the little bastard screwed so badly with Theon's mind by letting him escape, appearing to help him, and then sneaking him right back into his torture room. Nicely played! Theon's heartbreaking realization that he chose wrong, and Ned was his true father, was a great scene too. Plus he spilled to that guy that Bran and Rickon are alive.

And of course Dany!! That was one of my favorite scenes in the books, and they did just a fantastic job with it on the show. "Khaleesi Kicks Ass!" should be the headline today! The scene of her army marching out with the dragons flying overhead was the perfect way to end a great episode.

Man that was a great episode, I watched it last night as I was falling asleep and there were so many rad moments that I didn't actually fall asleep. I'm going to watch it again right now.

I think it might be my favorite episode, and that has a lot to do with Dany actually doing something badass for once and me not being completely bored with her storyline.

OK, what's the deal with Pod? Is that just some humorous side gag, or is he something much more than he appears? I mean, the previous episode, it was funny. But, then for Varys to take a particular interest in it, made me think this is something a bit more significant. When one combines this with the fact that he also saved Tyrion on the battlefield, I can't help but think he has been placed there. Possible by Varys? He knew of the assassination attempt?

He is Beric Dondarrion. In the first season he was the guy that Eddard Stark ordered to go out and bring The Mountain to justice after hearing he was out razing the countryside. You literally only see him for one scene in the first season, and he was recast for this season. It's all been said in this season but it's hard for it to sink in, but he and his troop are essentially still allied to King Robert and refuse to kneel to anyone as they consider them all to be false kings. They are The Brothers Without Banners.

The pod thing continuing into this ep was a gag, IMO. He's prominent in the books, but his worth in bed is not.

That last episode showed how much you assholes that have read the books but can't resist revealing shit here blow. Get over yourselves and stay the **** away

I dunno, seemed like non-readers were speculating more than book readers were spoiling, but I didn't go back through it. I usually call out people who post spoilers on this thread, which doesn't happen often. I didn't say anything last week though because I figured saying the speculation was a spoiler would be more of a spoiler because it would confirm the speculation.

Is your complaint that the book readers are saying too much of what happened in the books vs what happened in the show? Cause I could see that.

About the only thing I see that could be somewhat spoiler-ish was Berric Dondarian's backstory. And that's only if they bother extrapolating any more in the show. I don't see any future events here.

Yes. The "she knows the language already bit" was ruined on here long ago under the just providing info from the books to help you all out excuse. Among other things. I don't understand why it's so hard to just not talk in here. Human nature I suppose.

Meh, I guessed that she knew the language just by the way she subtly reacted in the first episode there.

I like this show, but I find it very difficult to follow, not having read the books.

I know you weren't calling me out here, but just want to defend what I posted FTR. I only said what has been revealed in the show itself and wanted to help Fire Me Boy in what he misheard. I take care to not say things in this thread that will reveal things to come.

I like reading what people think is going to happen as nonreaders and just want to help when I see someone misread what's explicit.

All that said, if anyone didn't catch it, Thoros follows The Red God :p

Me too. I thought it was fairly obvious she knew the language...
