Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

Just got back from my honeymoon and finally got caught up on the last two episodes last night. I don't remember which episode it was, but did anyone else think that Joffrey's crossbow was THE crossbow? I thought it was cool of them to throw it in there early on in the series.

I've hit the last third of the second book in my re-read. Lots of good stuff happening, the second half of this season on the show should be pretty good!
I had forgotten the details of Arya's story and how Vargo Hoat switches sides and joins up with the Starks (Roose Bolton and his men) after J'aqen helps Arya free the captured northmen. They fed Amory Lorch to the big black bear, I had forgotten that as well. Arya thinks that it's appropriate since he killed Yoren, and the bear that killed him is black like the Nights Watch. I am really curious where they'll go with Arya being Tywin's cupbearer since that is not in the books (she's Roose Bolton's cupbearer). |

For those that don't watch South Park, Mr. Garrison was teaching a class on the family hierarchy of Game of Thrones to third graders tonight. This as well as the rest of the episode was pretty damn funny.

Cartman's All-4-One cover was the best thing since his obsessive recitation of Come Sail Away.

Things are sarting to move along.
Renly dying scene was handled well and I thought Brienne did a great job in that one. Arya telling Tywin that "anyone can be killed" was excellent, my favorite non-book moment of the night. I really like the young actress playing Arya. I enjoyed the parts with her and Jaquen as well. They gave tons of hints about what Theon is about to do, but my wife (non-reader) still didn't quite pick up on them. She is still going ot be a little sruprised when he takes Winterfell. I think she still wants to believe he has some loyalty to the Starks so she can't really imagine him taking Winterfell at this point. She's in for a rude awakening. |

I was a bit suprised by the Fist of the First Men. In my mind it was in the middle of a forest, but I may have misread it. And I expected there to be a bit more ruins. |

Dinkledge's interrogation of Lancel, his reaction to Demon Monkey & taking control of wildfire -alone are deserving of an award nomination. Seeing Roy Dotrice as Hallyane the Pyromancer was pretty cool in this episode, but as a fan if the audio books. I loved hearing his voice again. It definitely added depth to the character's dialogue when he's talking about former kings. You know that Dotrice is very steep into the history of this story. |

The thing I like about Arya's line is that while it was a threat toward Tywin, it also held sadness. She knows that anyone can be killed, because her father (who most children see as invincible) was killed. She knows that Rob can be killed as well. Anyone can die. Yes, she hopes to kill Tywin, but she could just as easily be killed.
