Pre-gaming with last week's episode.
Pretty excited about tonight!
It's just weiners
And Mad Men returns tonight!
I am waiting to see how Tyrion gets screwed by having Shae around.
Show Shae is very interesting to me and I like it...
The writers have done a great job of setting up Shae as someone who actually cares about Tyrion, is pissed off about Sansa, but still cares for Sansa. Something is going to come to a head, I wonder how/where and what the fallout will be.
jdon
well, it has now come to a head...
jdon
so I've got to wait a little while until it airs. This is such a damn good show.
Looking forward to GoT as well as Mad Men season 7 premire tonight. There goes studying for the Series 7!
yet again, we fail to see Daenerys nude.
You think there is any truth to the rumor that she won't get naked any more? I find it intrigueing that she auditions to play a girl who likes to get down, or at least be naked all the time, she then proceeds to get naked, show it all, and at some point declare that she won't do it any more.
On one hand - you took the role, what did you think?
On the other - If you can declare you won't do it and they have to listen good for you...
Or, on the third hand- why get so upset when we have all already seen it?
What do you guys think?

I was just joking. But I don't think she will be naked anymore, really. She is too powerful and respected to be subjected to that.
As for the actress, I would bet she just understood/understands the importance of character development of Daenerys/Khaleesi.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
I think that was Ros who said she wouldn't do any more nude scenes....she was crossbow target soon after...

It gets played live and stays up to rewatch at any time.
George R.R. Martin wrote this episode. In the past he has written one per season and they are usually pretty good.
I could see him doing a movie about "The Dance of Dragons" as a prequel to the books. I think that would be pretty epic.
Judging from "The Princess and the Queen", it would make an awesome movie.
Martin is actualy planning an 80,000 word book about it, but a movie might serve him better. The ways asoiaf is going i dont ever see an end to it. Unless it turn out to be a "Lost" type ending, man that would be so cruel.
he has created a whole world. I wouldn't be surprised to see another series and a movie or two. The material is rich.
jdon
Martin is just throwing shit at the wall because he's terrified the show will catch him.
April 14th, 2014 at 10:36 AM ^
I don't see any way that he could fit even 1/100th of the character development, history, and intricate plots of any of the GoT books into a 2-hour movie. The only thing that makes sense, as mentioned below, is some sort of prequel about the Targaryen rise/fall, but even then he would have to drastically alter his storytelling style to fit the time constraints.
I can't wait to see this thread in about an hour and a half.
and why would that be?
comments like this have no place here.
sincerly the asshole police,
love,
jdon
Good grief, man. You couldn't possibly have gleaned a single detail of anything from that.
if you can't possibly glean a single detail then why write at all?
Its a catch 22 and either way you lose... like I said last week: it took me some time to realize that any comment that isn't specifically based on the show story and written around the show story can be a spoiler... maybe I am being too strict but I think you know what you did...
love,
jdon
I know what I meant to do. I don't know if it's the same as what you think I meant to do. Regardless, you might as well just say "no book readers allowed" at that rate.
April 13th, 2014 at 10:05 PM ^
I talk like an asshole, and I was wearing my asshole hat, but what you didn't wasn't evil or outragious or anything; it just would have been better if you didn't say anything at all... like I said, stick to HBO story and HBO story alone...
or don't, in all reality it is rather hypocritical to tell anyone want to do around here...
Lets talk about how awesome it was to watch that fuck die!
and who did it?
Tyrion is up for grabs at this moment. I think he knew what he was doing because of how he looked at the cup right in front of Cersei...
there are many people motivated, that is for sure...

but this is one mystery the books don't solve. My theroy is it's tywin lannister. In a past episode he said joff was in need of a sharpe lesson, and he isnt fighting this war to place robert the second on the iron throne.

Not even "critical reading" skills. The book comes flat out and tells you whodunit, and how, and basically why as well. (Although I admit there are people who refuse to believe the explanation, I'm not one of them.)
April 13th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
April 13th, 2014 at 11:00 PM ^
I've read it and it dosent flat out say who did it. i belive tywin had a hand in it along with obvious others.
April 13th, 2014 at 11:07 PM ^
April 13th, 2014 at 11:14 PM ^
In the end i think who the book said did it was just a catspaw of tywin, but we may never know i guess.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:13 AM ^
He definitely thought Joffrey was an idiot but it's insinuated that Tywin would never have gone so far as to commit kinslaying. I haven't watched the episode yet and don't want to give anything away, but there's a pretty good consensus on all the ASOIAF forums as to who was responsible. There are two people in particular for whom the evidence is almost irrefutable. Tywin, Sansa, and Tyrion are not considered major suspects.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:22 AM ^
They don't say the actual culprit, though the person(s) responsible are very obvious.
April 13th, 2014 at 10:38 PM ^

Sure you can. That comment is basically saying "Something big happens" which means "someone dies."
Joffrey's death wasn't a huge shock, but it can even be less of a surprise when people are telling you to expect something big. And when we were reaching the end of the episode and nothing big had yet to happen, it was kinda easy to put 2 and 2 together.
Not the biggest deal in the world, but hopefully that makes sense.

Well that's certainly rare and unexpected in this show.
OK, I'm done being a smartass now. You make a fair point, but let's also be honest: this show takes enough surprising turns that didn't involve a main character getting killed, that going straight to "someone dies" means people were basically expecting it anyway, and are just waiting around to see who's next to get it.
How come Virginia fans never, ever say the words "Cavaliers" or "Cavs"?
[comment redacted for now by me]
Any ideas about where this can be streamed live?
The Hound was electrifying last week.
Theon's gone full Reek
