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:

Well, Boardwalk Empire should be coming in September and hopefully the 2nd season of True Detective in January, and then Game of Thrones in March.

So we just watched the first episode again. I did not realize Lysa was married to the hand of the king and fled to the Eryie and then sent the letter to the Starks. Crazy.

That would be one way to go. I probably should have done that with Harry Potter, for example. The LOTR movies were all great, though, and I would have hated to miss out on those.

Been watching the first season again myself. There's a lot of things I've caught that I didn't notice in my previous viewings and even more that take on more resonance now. Littlefinger's scenes are particularly interesting now that you know he instigated the entire conflict. I had also forgotten that the guy who met with Varys in the dungeons was the same guy (Illyrio) who sheltered the Targaryens. That may be where he and Tyrion head in S5.

Yeah, you are probably correct on what his intentions were. Either way he is single handedly the root cause of it all.

It's pretty funny how I watched all 4 seasons and still struggle to remember some of these people's names.
Littlefinger? Varys? Illyrio? Who the **** are these people? |

Littlefinger is the one who betrays Ned in season 1, owns all the whorehouses, used to be in love with Catelyn Stark, helps Sansa escape Kings Landing, then marries Lysa arryn and pushes her through the moon door.
Illyrio is the fat guy whose house Dany and Viserys were staying in during season 1 before they married Dany off to Khal Drogo. He was also seen by Arya talking to Varys in season 1. Varys is the spy master. Bald eunuch, he's the one who took revenge on the guy who cut off his nuts by keeping him in that box (he shows Tyrion). He tells Tyrion some people will remember what he did for the city. He helps tyrion escape and then goes with him when he hears the bells ringing. |

I thought Littlefinger was named Peter Baylish or some shit. I should probably pay more attention..
