Game of Thrones (TV Show)

[britbox]

Will give it a couple of days before spoilers, but that's the most "outcomes" in an episode since the Red Wedding in Season 3.

^ I saw it, thought it was excellent. Really off to a great start so far!

 

[brokenshoelace]

God damn...

 

[DarthFed]

^ I wasn't sure your guys' thoughts on the fate of Snow but what happened is pretty much exactly what I thought would happen. Though it was a huge event it was not a shocking one to me. My thought after the season finale last year was that our red friend's timing was too impeccable. Now certain other things last night...those were pretty shocking. I almost felt sorry for old man Roose but then I remembered the Red Wedding B-)

Anyone else think Ramsey is the most f'ed up, sadistic bastard they've ever seen on any show/movie? I've seen Silence of the Lambs and other messed up shit but he is the absolute worst!

 

[brokenshoelace]

Ramsey is an amazing character. It takes a lot for someone to be more f'ed up than Joffrey. That scene with his newborn brother was traumatizing.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Does anyone know where Ned and Robb's remains are? Maybe Melisandre can work some of that magic while she's at it.

I do wonder though just what becomes of Jon now. Is he the same person? Notice Melisandre told Davos something along the lines of "if you want him to be in peace leave him be" or something like that.

I hear you! He is awesomely horrible. How amazing would it be if he ends up ruling the seven kingdoms at the end? Yeah I know that'd be too much even for GOT. Assuming Ramsey eventually meets his justifiable end I don't know if I will be sad or happy. He definitely adds a lot to the show.

Since they were decapitated I don't think they can be brought back. In season 3 they had that leader of the band of the brotherhood that fought the Hound with the flaming swords. He had been "killed" like 5 times by the Cleganes and others but was revived. Arya asked him if they could bring back Ned and they said no because he had lost his head.

I am wondering the same thing about Jon. It will be interesting to see.

Speaking of the Hound, I wonder if he'll ever make a re-appearance? I thought he was a great character and he we never saw him actually die. Maybe somebody found him... even the Brotherhood.

Yeah, Ramsay is a great villain. After the show finished they did a quick preview of "Next week on Game of Thrones..." where some knight appears to be delivering something to Ramsay. I wonder if it's bits of Myranda...

Episode 3 - Not as fast paced as the previous two but still good and the story opens up on several fronts. Not sure if you guys have seen it yet, so won't do any spoilers.

 

[DarthFed]

Agreed, definitely a lot slower than the first two yet I still really enjoyed it and there were still a couple big things that happened, particularly at the end.

For the first time in a long time the storyline with Bran is interesting. I have a feeling the three-eyed raven is going to expose some huge secrets in the coming episodes.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Yeah the Bran stuff is what interests me the most, though everything is very intriguing (I kinda find myself not caring what happens with Dany though. I don't know, I guess this shit has been dragging forever).

 

[britbox]

I'm kind of bored of the Dany story too. Just get her over the sea and into Westeros. Tyrion and Varys are always good value though.

Glad Jon is leaving the Night's Watch and heading south. Time to pay Ramsay a visit...

The Bran stuff is good - it lets us piece the history behind this together.

 

[DarthFed]

I too am glad that Snow is leaving the Wall. I think that's the natural progression for the character since he has been brought back to life. A real battle in Winterfell seems to be likely this year and it should be awesome. I wonder if it will be in time to save Rickon.

The glimpses of the past Bran has seen have made for great scenes so far and that is a good reminder of why I really look forward to there being a movie covering Robert's rebellion and other things that have been mentioned on the show.

Episode 4 looks like we'll see various storylines ramping up.

 

[DarthFed]

That scene with young Ned vs. Ser Arthur Dayne was awesome. I don't think they've mentioned Dayne on the show much but he gets mentioned in the books a lot as being probably the best swordsman along with Barristan Selmy and maybe Jaime. And now we see why Ned was able to "beat" him.
