Movies and TV Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone) - Page 65

A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.

A few quick ground rules:

No Spoilers!!!!! for upcoming episodes.
Larger Song of Ice and Fire discussion should be limited to the other thread although I think a tiny bit of book delving to fill in holes should be okay (example of this would be talking about Catelyn and her treatment of the wolves in the novel, which was alluded to on TV but never really made clear...)
Everything that happened that week is fair game once an episode airs. So if you don't watch on Sunday night, I'd stay outta here until you do...

Anything that has been aired on TV is fair game. The "spoiler free" is for future book spoilers or TV spoilers.

Not that I remember. I read it as she's just horrified at the slaver's treatment of the Unsullied.

I thought the first episode was great but not fantastic. I was expecting that the dwarf would get some kid of reward. I hope he gets even with Dad and puts his nephews head on a spike.

Why did you expect him to get a reward? His reward was getting stranded in a tiny, dark room. That's how the Lannisters roll. The imp will get his revenge...of that I am sure.

I bet that will be a kick to the groin when it happens for pappy Lannister.

One of my beef's with GRRM is the continued ****ing that he gives Tyrion. He's everyone's favorite. He's awesome. But GRRM won't cut the poor imp a break.

I think that is what keeps everyone tuned into the books and show. This is life, not everything ends with the good guys getting everything they wanted. A lot of bad shit can happen to good people.

I don't want to go too far because this is the spoiler free thread, but it's out of hand by ADWD IMO.

Tyrion can come up with extremely witty retorts to ANYONE but his father.

He is a beaten dog in front of his father, and that scene between the two of them was great. Tywin accusing him of killing his mother and just tearing him down and Tyrion sits there and doesn't do or say anything.

As if there was any question HBO has renewed "GOT" for a 4th season.

That's why I like it. The books/show doesn't spoon feed you a story where the white knight wins and rescues the princess.

Favorite scene in ep. 1.

I understand. Where did I spoil anything?

Sad thing about Tyrion, he would be the best king out of all the people in the story line. He is probably the smartest and the fairest when it came to dealing with people.

Agreed, he is the smartest one, he has compassion for people, but he can also be 100% ruthless when he needs to be. He'd make a good king.

Stannis is too rigid. Joffrey is a freak. Tommen is a wuss. Robb is better at war than ruling. Tywin is a prick.

Dany would be a good choice too, but she has a little too much compassion sometimes...until you cross her anyway.
