Game of Thrones Season 2 (NO SPOILERS THREAD)

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

That works.

Now to the matter of Winterfell...

[This Guy]

I just assumed the bastard's army did it, maybe to blame it on Pyke or that family plans on betraying Robb.

[kid8]

Guys, I think he meant to say Drago. Drago is Drogo in drag.

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

If they tried to blame it on Pyke I assume Robb's first question would be something along the lines of "Where are their heads?"

[Toofer_Spurlock]

It seems like the Iron Islanders burned everything before they left, but then where the fuck were the bastard's forces? No matter what the answer is about who burned down Winterfell that's still a bit confusing.

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

Given that the Pyke guys were counting on the Northerners letting them go I can't imagine they would have torched the place first.

[Baby Museum]

ice zombies huh. i guess they sort of covered this a few episodes ago but it didn't really hit me until I saw them.

the defeat of the warlocks seemed a little slight. like 20 seconds to take these guys out.

[The Emperor's Son]

Oof, that last shot

[sky cracks open]

ice zombies huh. i guess they sort of covered this a few episodes ago but it didn't really hit me until I saw them.

they covered "ice zombies" in Season 1, Episode 1, Scene 1.

and again in mid season 1 I believe, when they tried to kill Jeor Mormont at the wall.

wights, they call them.

[traced out]

I'm mostly just skeptical that they would be willing to diverge far enough to fix anything significant.

Also they seem to have completely fucked up the logistics of the battle, if Stannis was meant to be able to retreat. Did he swim back to his castle or just sort of wade along the coast?

book 4 was pretty good it's just about 1/3 of it was superfluous. and considering how much they're cutting per season, that alone will probably make it a tight season.

havent read 5 yet though but apparently most of that is just bad

[wintergreen]

gosh i like (the) khaleesi.

[sky cracks open]

I think HBO can deal with superfluous, as long as the overall story is still solid.

From what everyone said, the Theon at Iron Islands stuff from book 2 was painfully long in the books, but HBO managed to make it easily digestible.

[worrywort]

no content spoilers at all: book 4 was for the most part excellent and book 5 was quite good if you could get past some wheel-spinning during a couple storylines which might not matter on screen anyway, the purely negatives are outliers (for book 5) and reprobates/scumbags (for book 4) generally speaking.

there are actually two distinct types of ghoul involved here; the wights, which are reanimated human corpses (like the ones who went after mormont) that have standard zombies traits such as relentlessness and resistance to mortal blows. then there are white walkers, like the one in the first episode of the show, and the guy on the horse. they're evidently an elder, non-human, race-unto-themselves that are supposed to be freakishly tall, have shimmering magic weapons, and i think they have like a "cold touch" sort of power too

the books haven't been forthcoming with a comprehensive bestiary entry on either of them yet, and it took me until my second reading to even figure out that they were supposed to be two completely different things. but i think you're supposed to know that by this point in the narrative

[pissydan]

women will think of you when their lovers are inside them!

[ecto]

i feel like the dude in qarth should have considered the fact that dragons can breathe fire before going through with that plan

[pissydan]

love the dragons but khaleesi is just a whiny little annoying bitch.

[ecto]

shut the fuck up

[Gehrig Industries]

i think if you played all of the qarth scenes from this season back to back you would get an episode of xena warrior princess

[ho bag brown]

I loved this episode, but in terms of CGI that white walker looked like something out of Shenmue

[ho bag brown]

Shenmue One

[The Dirty Turtle]

hopefully it doesnt take an entire season for every new cool dragon scene

[CelticFC#1]

[ho bag brown]

[Ted Pikul]
