Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
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:

The show has not really addressed it in any detail at all yet, but if you read the first book, you get a sense of it (even in the book it is only hinted at and not revealed, which is par for the course for GRRM and this series which is one of the reasons the books are so great, you really have to pay attention and pick up on subtle hints, he doesn't just lay everything out there for you). |

I'll be surprised if GRRM ever lets us see an overt answer to that question.

So it was Littlefinger and Grandmother Tyrell. I was right about Littlefingers motives as well.

That was a really awesome and ominous ending.

So that's how White Walkers are made. Can't say I thought they did that with the babies.
And it seems, barring some other kind of reveal, it was Littlefinger and Olenna who conspired to kill Joffrey. I guess both had their reasons, although Littlefinger's are more opaque and long-term focused than Olenna's. What a surprise that Bran's plan to journey north with no real protection beyond a direwolf among groups of murderous wildlings, mutineers, and White Walkers didn't work out. Looks like Jon Snow is going to have to go up there and save him (and stop Bolton's spy at the same time). You'd think he had enough on his plate already. Also looks like Jaime is going to try to help Tyrion out of that mess. He tellingly progressed even further away from his sister and father this episode by sending Brienne out to save Sansa and giving her that sword at the same time. |

I'm so sick and tired of these slow ass episodes and exposition. Bring on the white walkers!!! If they don't turn it around soon, I'm outta here.
This is the Walking Dead thread, right? |

I admit I still watch it but only because it is the only thing like it on TV. If any other network had done the show I believe it would have turned out much better. Everything about the show just screams 'B' TV. |

Trying to read stuff on GoT online and people are losing their SHIT about Jaime's 'rape' last episode. They're still going on about it for paragraphs this week.

TWD is a decent enough show (albeit one with wasted potential), but it's not even close to the caliber of GoT. They're not really comparable at all.
And was this supposedly a "slow" episode? I found just about every scene fascinating in its own way as usual. |
