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 |

I assume they will still take Jaime's hand, but I'm guessing it won't be Hoat on the show who cuts it off. Could be Hoat I suppose, but none of the viewers who didn't read the books will know who he is.
Still, if not Hoat, then who? That's a pretty big deal to cut off the hand of Jaime Lannister. You can't use the Mountain because he works for the Lannisters. Not sure who else it could be at this point. Doesnt seem like the kind of thing the Brotherhood would do. |

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

They almost have to cut Jamie's hand off. To me, losing his hand triggers the change in Jamie and the humility he has afterwards when Cersei and everyone cut him down for being half the man he once was. Also, he defends Brienne when she is accused by Loras that she killed Renly. There is a marked change in Jamie's character after he loses the hand. I believe that's why Jamie tells Tyrion the truth about his wife to be (from back in the day), because he gets a glimpse at what Tyrion goes through every day. Just my 2 cents, but he loses the one thing that has given him his reputation and strikes fear into anyone who would challenge him. Men aren't afraid of him anymore. |

Well, it's not like they set the series ratings record with the premiere Sunday (despite it being Easter), or like it's the most lucrative show HBO has after international marketing and DVDs/BR sales, despite its huge budget (>$55 million/season).

Oh and btw I hate Jamie's guts because he effectively and willingly tried to kill a child. He gets no redemption for that. |

Would be cool if Bran and Jaime meet and reconcile at the end to bring the story full circle from the first chapter. Would have to involve Jaime helping to defeat the Others I guess.

I schedule watching GoT on delayed basis from my DVR, trying to stretch the season and make the off season shorter. So I'm deliberately behind the conversation here. If the following info has already been mentioned, my apologies. If not I think this is interesting and useful:

The Queen of Thorns was awesome, loved her immediately. But the actress playing Margary is really hitting it out of the park IMO. That scene near the end with her and Joffrey was just so perfect. She manipulates everyone with such ease. She is going to be fun to watch. Especially her and Cersei as they go at it more and more. Great job making her character more interesting than in the books.
