re: Game of Thrones- Season Long Thread (Newbie Guide in First Post)

Loved the scene where Bran's direwolf just rips up some arse.

while Tyrion was smacking Joffery around. I haven't read the books but I can see where the kid is absolutely an insufferable bastard.

Shut your whore mouth.

And tonights ep was great, better than the first. Just wish they woulda shown Bran's dream. The assassin scene was awesome

She's incredibly intuitive. She consistently guesses endings of movies she's never seen. It is almost aggravating, hopefully she helps me la noire lol.

Clearly, I'm awesome. There's really no need to brag.

That scene was hilarious, and showed that people know Jofffrey is an entitled, sniveling conniver. That's why I hated the last scene. They've clearly shown that Ned's tomboy daughter is head strong and breaks the mold of demure royal kid. Why wasn't she screaming at the top of her lungs what actually happened vs. just calling Joffrey and her older count sister out as liars? I get that if a dog attacks someone in society they're going to want it put down, but why does Baratheon want to appease his wife when he clearly doesn't give a frick about what she thinks..."hey, I know, Ned is the only guy I trust, I need his help above all to try to hold onto my power. Let's really demonstrate that he's my best friend, and kill the pet, who clearly had nothing to do with this, of his daughter, who I'm arranging to marry my sniveling son. Yeah, that's the ticket." It didn't seem to ring true to the character's motivations. Seemed like a cheap way to get the audience to hate the queen...you know, since we already hate her.

And if it is actually true to Baratheon's character, and he's just going to end up screwing Ned somehow please don't tell me that. I'd like to keep watching the rest of the season.

Like you said, it's meant for you to hate cersei and show how intolerable and cruel the lannisters can be.

But as much as he is annoyed by cersei, Robert is still going to listen to her a little. And yes Ned is Roberts best friend, but I also think it's meant to show that Robert is still king, regardless of the friendship.

Thanks for putting our economy into the shitter!

I could never be a teacher. I'd be up on murder/child abuse charges within the first week.

Well we haven't seen Nan either...

The actress that they had cast as Nan died. I doubt we'll see her this season because of that. She was the one that did the voice over on one of the very first promo's, talking about the "Long Night".

Great scene. This episode topped the premier for me. This is the first series since Spartacus that I am truly interested in and can't wait for the next installment. Did Bran awaken when the dire wolf pup was killed or was that just coincidence??? I was really hoping that the blonde and her slut slave were going to get it on
