i have porn for that shit dude. i have to watch GOT with my wife.

I kind of see how they are doing some of the story changes now to time new characters not being introduced partway through a season. Like with Jaquen, Melisandra, and some others, they delay showing them when they could have popped up in the story if it isn't the beginning of the season so they don't have to cast someone on a parital season basis. Point being, I still think the frog kids will show up, they are just being held back. Same with Bolton's bastard not being seen yet, I think he won't show up until next season. They will probably make that a bit of a cliffhanger of them showing up to take over, but then probably won't actually show Ramsay's face until next season.

Lord of Bones was pretty awesome, too.

Yeah, I loved how the bones rattled when he was walking too, just how I imagined him in the book.

agreed, lord of bones kicked ass. i want that mask

On-Demand HBO is the bomb. I caught up on all of Season One in a single weekend. Brilliant to see the entire show in such a condensed time frame...they really produced a terrific piece of entertainment.

Season two has been good, but I think it has dragged a bit. There is so much story out there to cover and is taking longer than it should IMO.

I read the first few books quite a long time ago, then kinda stopped when it took like 4 years for the next book to come out. Because it's been so long, I've forgotten many of the details, and I don't really notice very much when the television series strays.

It's worked out well for me, I think. I came in knowing who the main characters were, so I didn't feel lost with them introducing so many characters. But I also don't feel pissed that they changed the story to fit the condensed time frame.

It's the best thing on TV, and the ONLY reason I am paying for ****ing HBO.

The whole "stolen dragons, bloody coup, 13 is now 2" thing in Qarth is a bit out there to me but it seems to be heading back on track as Dany heads to the House of Undying for a barbecue.

I have really enjoyed the interplay between Tywin and Arya and am sorry to see it (might) end.

Jaqen's character is played to perfection IMHO. A man is a badass.

More Varys please.

Jaime is a stud. I hated him in season 1, before I had read the books.

The kid playing Joffrey is so good I'm afraid he may be a royal prick in real life. Give Stannis a red smile indeed.

Sorry, I didn't picture Yara Greyjoy as being so damn fugly. It throws me off.

A pretty decent season so far. In a way I wish I hadn't read the books so I didn't notice when parts or people were missing.

None of the grayjoys on the show are really very attractive, so I think she fits in. The only thing that seems 'off' to me is that she seems a little bit...plump. I always pictured asha as being stringy and tough as nails for some reason. She's got the tough part, but not the stringly. Either way I think yara works as depicted on the show, just kind of rough and not as refined as the rest of the nobility on the show. Very greyjoy.

The wolves have been mostly an afterthought on the show, minus Ghost going after the Wight, and Nymeria going after Joffrey. I wonder if any of them will play bigger roles going forward.

They did have the one scene this year with bran's wolf walking up the stairs behind hodor and then stopping right on his bed. Probably the most warg moment so far.

One thing I just remembered as another thing that I liked a lot in last nights episode, was the quasi-foreshadow and stage setting of what should come later where Shae ends up dead and Tywin ends up with a crossbow bolt in his groin.

Feel free to abuse the spoiler privilege.

Assuming you mean you haven't read it and want me to explain more. If you are saying you didn't want to know it, stop reading now.
