Game of Thrones

[rajpoot]

Excellent episode. It was fun to watch drunk Cersei. And it's always fun to watch Joffery and Tyrion....Jack Gleeson will forever be Joffery Baratheon now, just as Daniel Radcliffe will be Harry Potter.
And the scene with Hound and Sansa was done very well. Full of irony, the only man kind to a girl who firmly believed in fairy tales is the one who seems most hateful.

My only gripe is that it seemed a bit excessive to devote an entire episode to the battle. All the important plot points could've been covered in twenty minutes tops. Considering how many characters they are chopping off entirely, an entire episode (no matter how awesome it was) for the battle was a bit...unfair.

Fantastic episode!
What I loved: Cersei's scenes, Tyrion, Davos, and the Hound.

What I didnt like: lack of the chain, and Stannis being a one man army.

Wishing I hadn't read about what happens in the book at "The Red Wedding"

Anyone started to look into the gossip of Season 3?

It has been confirmed that this guy will be joining the cast:



Now he is the Norwegian actor Kristofer Hivju and was last seen in the remake of The Thing.
The Blackfish?
Tormund Giantsbane?

[Vladimir]

Oh dear Lord! Keep that man away from sunlight at all costs.

I checked out the article on IGN and it listed a list of characters who were confirmed to appear in season 3. It included the Reeds, Edmure Tully, Blackfish, Mance Rayder, Tormund, Beric Dondarrion and some more.

The man in the picture actually looks exactly like I've always imagined Tormund would appear. Maybe a little chubbier in the cheeks but otherwise he's spot on.

[Kagemusha]

One has to wonder who are they casting as Mace Tyrell?While not confirmed.I dont think there is any doubt about him appearing.

[johnhughthom]

You will always be Mace to me, Kage.

[Greyblades]

I miss that game.

[rajpoot]

I miss that game.

Ditto.
Who knows, third time lucky.....maybe this time like three or four people can get together to be hosts.
As an incentive, I'm sure Org Admins can create a GoT-Game Host Award for all of them.

@johnhughthom , Lol! Not sure if thats a compliment or what, but thanks anyway!

@rajpoot , i have a large game slot open at gameroom and i have been planning something for quite a while.

[Greyblades]

Did anyone find out who sent the faceless man to kill renly?

[Arjos]

Both games were awesome!
They made me love the serie and buy the books ^^

[The Stranger]

nope didnt find out :S

(with my brothers in arms Arjos and Jarema ofcourse :D)

where is that game? :O i want to play :O

[johnhughthom]

It was intended as a compliment.

The enthusiasm of yourself and most of the other players really was something to behold in those games, pity my skin wasn't thick enough to cope with it!

[Kagemusha]

@johnhughthom ,

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I like that song..

[Greyblades]

I will never be as awesome as Tywin, but I'd like to think my efforts in the two games was worthy of the Lord of Lannister.

Dang, now that I look at it I'm a bit of a arrogant git, arent I?

[Sigurd]

Nice...

Tomorrow is the final.

Here is a version of the main theme which I think is a tribute.

[rajpoot]

So season finale.
Kind of a disappointment. Didn't really live up to the mark set by series.
I mean it was fun seeing Varys in the brothel and Ygritte smacking Jon Snow with the sword, but still....no moments of 'win'.
Plus they're changing too much. I did not like how they portrayed Stannis, making him look a little too....fanatical. And Littlefiger talking with Sansa directly....too much.
And they cut out Rhaegar and Elia entirely. I mean in the books, the stuff Daenerys sees in the rooms is supposed to be foreshadowing. None of that here (unless you count the frozen throne-room as an indication of the things to come if the Others win...perhaps...).

The only bits I liked were the ones with Maester Luwin, the ending (really makes one see the series from another perspective) and Arya and Jaqen.

Edit:
What is the dead horse chewing?

[Arjos]

Iirc in the books it was chewing its own intestine or something...

Anyway the episode wasn't that bad, did feel that they stuffed too many events in one hour though...
Must have skipped things like Rhaegar, because they never introduced an actor for the part etc...

And get ready for Sam the Slayer! XD

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I feel like this whole season, except maybe for Blackwater, was stuffing too many events into too short a time.

[Hooahguy]

I feel like this whole season, except maybe for Blackwater, was stuffing too many events into too short a time.

Agreed. Thats probably why they are splitting up ASoS into two parts, as I hear.

On the finale, I thought it was great, though I didnt like Dany's scene. The House of the Undying could have been better. Though the dragonfire was awesome.

And when I saw the Others and we got a close up shot, I got chills.

[Kagemusha]

I agree that the books are too big to be crammed in single season. About the sets.Is it just me or was Iceland a mistake as shooting location. The tundra is not really how the beyond of the wall i imagined. As far as i understand the Nightwatch should have been at forest. Also Northern arctic forest at least to me can be used as lot more menacing surrounding then tundra, like for example it was used at ep 1 of season 1.

[Arjos]

I liked Iceland, iirc they were at the Frostfangs, never imagined that area as a forest...
Earlier in the season while at Craster's they were surrounded by trees and that was ok...

[rajpoot]

So....they're selling the Iron throne apparently.

Times like this I wish the Rupee to Dollar conversion rate was better.

[Lemur]

This made me feel better, can't say why.

He says that a lot.
