HBO's "Game of Thrones"

[flyingpig11]

Having a tough time with the wide variations from the book after last night. Between Dragontheftgate.com, Jon Snow getting caught like he did, and Cersai and Tywin showing a smidge of a soft side ...I just don't know...

[emc]

I honestly don't know how you guys keep everyone's names straight.

Was there something going to happen after the conversation between Cersei and Tyrion? I was a little confused by this and just a little uneasy.

I think he was making a move somewhat to comfort her, but they both felt uneasy and unsettled about her showing weakness, so the moment passed....that was how I took it anyway....she has always treated Tyrion horribly so that was why he was unsure how to act. I think.

Flying Pig- I actually found Tyrion in the novels to be a VERY sympathetic character...and even Cersei had her moments of vulnerability, such as how ripped apart by Marcella going to Dorne she was, and when she had to strip and walk through the streets, etc.


and didn't Jon get captured by the Free Folk in the book too? (Did I read this series? )

I don't either. When I read this thread, I don't know who everyone is talking about, even though I watch the show.

haha...me too! I had to open IMDB in another browser so I could see who everyone meant.

I guess if I read the books I might catch on better.

Jon did get captured, but not that way.

I was talking about Tywin, not Tyrion. Tywin never showed compassion for anyone but captured Jaime.

I know, the names get me crazy too.

That was my impression. Finally caught up on the last 3-4 episodes today.

I cannot even begin to keep the names straight, either, and every time I think about it, or read this thread, it makes me SO glad I'm just watching this on TV and not trying to read those tomes.

Btw, along with Ygritte (for some obvious reasons!)

my favorite character these days is Jaqen. "A man has said..."

The scenes between Arya (sp?) and the Lannister patriarch are pretty choice, too.

So sorry! I totally read that as Tyrion, not Tywin.

And I agree, in the books he sure was not at all likeable! Although I am liking the Harrenhall scenes between he and Arya, too.

I finally finished book 5!

There's no such thing as spoilers to me anymore. It's so refreshing!

I immediately texted my friend who I've talked with a ton and we started throwing around all of our speculations.

There's so freakin' much that could be possible in this story

[flyingpig11]

So...no feedback from Sunday night. I saw all of it except the last 10 minutes, due to 11 year old drama, so dont spoil it for me.

Something about the way ygritte enunciates pleases me. Perhaps it's her accent, or they way she kind of spits her words out...but I find I like to hear her speak.

Do you watch Downton Abbey (BTW she was on that show)?

The perfect enunciation and grammar makes me swoon.

I liked last Sunday's episode, but it was more of a long trailer to THIS Sunday's episode for me!

Jon and Qhorin/Ygritte/the Wildings...

Brienne and Jamie ROAD TRIP!....

and of course SHIPS FIRE MAYHEM!!!

Bring it!

[Seakony]

This whole episode takes place at Castlerock.. the battle.
Very disappointed in the battle..should have been during the day..but I guess fire shows up better at night. Kinda glad Tyrion still has his nose intact...I really didn't want to see a hole in the middle of his face.

Loved the song.

Only one more episode left this season..bummer!

[ryberg]

That was one exhausting episode!
