Darth Lurtz Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 The most recent episode,"Blackwater" was a very special one, for it was the first battle shown on screen. Also unlike the other episodes, this focused only on the battle itself which was to its advantage. The Season Finale is next week and their are so many things it has to address like the aftermath of the battle of Blackwater, Theon controlling Winterfell, Daenerys losing her dragons, Jon Snow being captured, and King Robb fighting the war. So what are your thoughts on what is happening in the series? Quote

I have no idea about Daenerys, Geoffrey, or the other Stark children. Quote

I have no idea about Daenerys, Geoffrey, or the other Stark children. How would she do that, since she's never even met Tywin in this series. And the king is named Joffrey not Geoffrey. Quote
Darth Lurtz Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) How would she do that, since she's never even met Tywin in this series. And the king is named Joffrey not Geoffrey. Catelyn Stark sent Brienne to return Jaime Lannister, in hopes that they will return her Daughters. So perhaps it might lead to peace, however King Joffrey would probably ruin any chance of that. Also the Hound is returning Sansa to Winterfell and Tywin is unaware that he has Arya. Edited May 28, 2012 by Darth Lurtz Quote

I have no idea about Daenerys, Geoffrey, or the other Stark children. She sent her female knight and the Kingslayer as a sign of good will. This move will allow her son to end the battle (he's not interested in the Iron Throne anyway) and to retake the home castle. edit: I think it's more than hope. Tyrin has no interest in batteling Rob, and Cathrine provided him with the opportunity to defeat the boat king (I can't memorize all the names). She takes all the blame, and Rob will realize that continuing the battle won't make much sense. Edited May 28, 2012 by Brickadeer Quote

Everybody happy.. and alive.. oh boy. :D I absolutely love the series, but I do prefer the books. Problem is, now that I've seen the series , I always picture the characters as they are played in the series,when I read the books. Can't wait for season three! Quote

You're right :) I'm curious which characters will make it to the end of the series. I've never read the books, and I'm a bit hesitant with doing so before I have seen the series. Quote

I've never read the books, and I'm a bit hesitant with doing so before I have seen the series. I had the same the other way around. I still remember being halfway through the first book, when I saw a stupid Youtube video in which they totally unexpected announced (spoileralert) that dear Neddy's head is chopped off. I didn't saw the point in reading the book anymore... it took me a week or two to get back reading, and now I just smile wickedly as some people tlak about their favorite character and that he or she will make it through to the end. Tha being said, don't attach to much to any of the characters. :p Quote
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 My wife and I are big fans of the TV series. I'm horrible with the different character names with the exception of the Stark family. My wife's in the process of reading the books and she feels the tv show follows the book pretty accurately. The season finale left me pretty excited for next season. I can't wait to see what happens.

Fives Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I'm a huge fan of the show! I've never read the books, but from what I've heard, the show is very close to the source material. Luckily, I'm pretty darn good with names, so if people are ever wondering who is who, I could possibly be of help. I really have no idea where this story will go. The end of the second season brought about the White Walkers and their wights. That will become very interesting. I've heard the third book will be plot into two seasons, so they can fit more story into it. I'm worried about Tyrrion and his position in King's Landing. Since he is no longer the Hand, he is in danger. Yet, his father, Tywin, is the Hand now, and will not likely allow his own son to be killed. As for Robb, I feel he will be on thin ice when it comes to the Freys, the family who allowed him to cross the bridge in the first season on the condition he married one of Walder Freys daughters. Robb went ahead and married that healer woman (don't know her name), so things could become interesting there. Also, whatever move Robb makes out his mother Catelyn in danger also. Speaking of Catelyn, I think it was a bad idea for her to send Lady Brianne with Jaime Lannister back to Kings Landing. I feel that the Kingslayer could have still be used as leverage in the war, and letting Brianne leave was probably the worst thing Catelyn could do, since Brianne is the only person in Westeros who is soley serving Catelyn. As for some of the other plot lines, such as Theon Greyjoy, Jon Snow, Bran and Rickon Stark (along with Osha and Hodor),and Dany and Jorah with the dragons, I was a little les invested in their stories this season. Jon, I think, is going to become part of the Wildings. I hope his relationship with Ygritte expands more next season. Bran and Rickon, with Osha and Hodor, have fled a burning Winterfell. They will start heading for the wall, but probably get taken off their path for some reason. I don't really care what happens to Theon Greyjoy. I feel like he isn't much of a threat any more. As for Dany and Jorah, it seems like they will be trying to get a ship to go to Westeros. Her dragons still need to grow more before they become strong enough to fight. Lastly, there is Arya and Sansa, the Stark girls. Sansa is in a place where she could get killed any minute. As for Arya, I'm upset Jaqn is gone. I felt that with him, Arya was safe. Now, I don't know where her story could go. Anyway, those are my thoughts on the second season, and the show overall. Quote
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) As much as I love this show, the only knock I have is that there's so much going on episode to episode. I feel like they try to show each of the different characters and by doing so, cut into the flow of the show. They show a little of so many different things that I feel like I didn't see anything at all. Despite this, I still thoroughly love the show. I don't think the fight for the Iron Throne is going to mean much once the Wall is breached and winter comes. I think it's going to come down to fight united and have a chance or all die divided.

Okay sorry, I shouldn't do that... No, the story gets pretty interesting by then, I think you'll certainly be satisfied with what comes next. also, am I the only one who feels that the first book / series, what kind off just putting the pieces on the board?

I agree. Ned's death and the discovery of Joffrey's illegitimate rule were definitely what sent both the Starks and the Baratheons to war with the Lannisters. Quote
Darth Lurtz Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 It has been confirmed that Game of Thrones will be coming to Comic Con. Quote
Darth Lurtz Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Season 3 is coming back on march 31 so I thought I would post this, to get us ready: Edited January 30, 2013 by Darth Lurtz Quote
Daenerys Targaryen Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 7 things to be excited about for Season 3: #1 Four weddings and plenty of funerals! #2 Jeoffry being, well, Jeoffry! #3 More epic-burny Dragon-awsomeness! (and Jorah gets fancy new set of armour) #4 The Reeds & Mance Radyr! #5 Aryia's story arc. (Thoros of Myr looks fething sweet!) #6 Jamie & Brienne duking it out! #7 More Tyrion!!! Btw, we should have the first "offical" full trailer for season 3 go up on-line on Tuesday when season 2 finally goes on sale! Quote
Daenerys Targaryen Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Here is it folks, the first 'offical' full trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzI9v_B4sxw Note: That erie keening sound you might be hearing right now, is the sound of over a million nerds squeeling with joyful glee! Quote
Leo604 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I'm assuming it's alright to discuss the books in here too? If so, for anyone who's read up to and including A Dance with Dragons: I'm really hoping at this point Aegon (assuming he is the real son of Rhaegar) does take back Westeros, hopefully with help from Daenerys once she gets Drogon and her Unsullied back from Meereen. At this point the surviving Targaryens are the only house that haven't messed things up enough to not be hated by the general population, plus it would give the series a nice finality. As for the TV show I've caught bits of Season 3 so I'll really have to catch up after school's over this year. Quote

As for the TV show I've caught bits of Season 3 so I'll really have to catch up after school's over this year. Young Aegon is simply a plant. He's pretty much a carbon copy of the Mad King, as evidenced by when Tyrion completely schools him in their chess-like game, and then he proceeds to rage-flip the table and accuse Tyrion of cheating.

DPrime Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Can't believe there isn't more discussion about this show after last Sunday. :) Quote
Daenerys Targaryen Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Can't believe there isn't more discussion about this show after last Sunday. :) Oh, you mean all the internet butt-hurt that's still raging strong everywhere else?!lol Overall a great episode that did justice to that monumental event in the books. But if that whole affaire has left you somewhat traumatised... Don't go read about it in the book! Seriously, it's only about 100x worse in the book! Quote
Vindicare Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Can't believe there isn't more discussion about this show after last Sunday. :) That was nuts! My jaw hit the floor. Damn Argus Filch! Definitely makes me excited and enticed for the finale Sunday. Quote
Leo604 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 n case anyone didn't see the episode yet: It's even more unpredictable in the book; one moment Roose Bolton gets up and leaves when The Rains of Castamere start playing, and like 3 lines later Robb's getting shot and all the Stark soldiers in the hall are getting killed. I thought they should've put up a bigger fight instead of just getting stabbed that easily. Quote

I thought they should've put up a bigger fight instead of just getting stabbed that easily. For once DB Wiess & Dave Benioff actually toned things down a bit... Which is a good thing judging by the sheer amount of angry internet raging still going on! I don't think anyone who hasn't read about the Red Wedding in the book could handle it if they stayed 100% true to how it really does go down. Like how Maige Mormont and her daughter are quite literally mass gang-raped to near-death before having their throats slit, or Catelyn's torture, or what the Freys do to Rob's body afterwards;) (hopefully they at least put that in the next episode though!)
