I think I'm reading the part in ASOS that some had to re-read...I inadvertently spoiled myself on this particular plot point...so I knew it was coming...but it is so very hard to read

I am ready for season 2 now.

I second this. When does it start up again?

The new season starts April 1st.

Did anyone watch The Simpsons tribute to Game of Thrones? I LOVED it!

Who's watching?????

So one of ya'll needs to give me a heads up if there's going to be anymore (spoiler in white):

Culling of babies and children. I know we don't know if the show will follow the books plot to a T, but I cannot stomach that shit. I've been like that with other HBO shows before too. It's enough to make me stop watching the show. Seriously, my boobs started leaking when I realized what was happening and the baby was crying.

I wanted to jump through the damn TV and slit that fucking in-bred Lannister bastard's throat.

Oh, and I need more Daenerys. Lots and lots more!

We had a free HBO weekend, so I watched the marathon and the new one. I'd never seen it before, but I'd heard great things about it. I enjoyed it except the over-the-top blood gushing. Even Daenayers eating the heart didn't get to me like the spurting blood from a wound that probably would have bled, but not shooting 10 feet in the air.

Yuck on the Queen Regent who thinks her and her twin belong together.

I think the #1 thing I learned yesterday about the series is not to get too attached to a character, because they might not be around for long.

Oh, and I admit that I shouldn't be letting the 5 & 7 year old watch it (they came in from fishing with Papa around the time the blonde dude git his gold "crown" - and I flipped channels during the brothel scenes when they were around), but should I be concerned that they were less grossed out by it than I was? In fact, I told my daughter that she may not want to watch during that gold crown scene and she replied that she likes dark and creepy things.

I got House Martell as well.

Yes!

That’s the one downfall of this show- there is just so much going on, you feel like you’re just getting a snippet of each plot in each episode. It’s one of the fastest-moving hours on television!

I noticed that it's kinda soapy in that way. Fran Drecher said it best: "Please, it's a soap opera. We'll be lucky if that coffee's done brewing six months from now."

I will say that they are very good to the books...we are talking 700 + page books in 10 hours of TV and the way that George RR Martin writes them...yea, I'm not angry with them and I get very angry when they change the books too much....

Also, I think with the scene of the culling children, its more of a scene with Gendry and why his master got rid of him (he no longer saw a profit to the boy) and it serves for a scene upcoming...I'm sure they are going to add it because of the culling children, between Arya and Gendry....

victoriana · #**148** 04-02-2012, 05:28 PM

I loved it. It was a great start to the season. I found it distasteful when they were showing outright sex, there's just no need for that. The culling of the children was also pretty shocking. I kept trying to remember if it was in the book. So terrible. I can't wait until Joffrey's demise.

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about reading this series, as I love fantasy myself. However, I'm not into really really graphic gore and someone told me that it wouldn't be a good read for me given that fact. Is that true? I hear they are amazing books so I've been really wanting to try them out.

I asked my dad to get HBO for me to watch at least the first two episodes while I am visiting for spring break. I won't be able to watch any more episodes until June!!!!!! I shall have to unsubscribe to this thread as I don't want to be spoiled. I am sooooo bummed that I won't be able to watch anymore until June. Thank god my dad agreed to get HBO for me.
