Poll: Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

[aardvark]

That made me think of Shae and that the actress was a porn star. I googled it to double check and seems not. I'm sure I read somewhere she was

she was.

Apparently anything other than battles and action is filler

Don't be a tetchy little bear! Have a cuddle. Better?

 

[HungryHippos]

Seems odd to end it. People love it, it makes mega dollars.

I'd much much rather have quality over quantity.

A good show knows when to end without endless filler, and I appreciate that over just churning out more and more material for the sake of it.

Hound is back!

Another fairly slow one with great ending - ep 9 is going to be carnage.

Next weeks looks great:

Was hoping for something more. Was a little dull.

Still good though and was great to see Blackfish again.

Damn, the Waif is a terrible faceless man. I bet she ends up as the face added to the wall, especially when Jaqen instructed her to make it quick.

Spoiler

any one else Jon is going to get his ass kicked and then be forced to flee south, leaving the Bloton's to face the WW (and get their ass kick by the WW)

 

[Glanza]

It's been a while since we've had a cold start but damn it started quick, watching next weeks preview it looks like we'll finally get to see The Mountain kick ass once again.

whatever

^^You better remove that before a mod spots it

Enjoyable episode, and good to see the hound back.

That Mormont girl was quite tough and responsible. Quite the contrast to the pansy that Tommen is.

My only issue now is how predictable it's become. Too many fan theories coming true. Arya storyline bugs me a little. Her journey has been as long as anyones with it starting with Ned's head and it's trailed off to nothing. I guess I was kinda hoping she would become an assassin.

Maybe they will kill Jon for real now. I don't want Jon to kill Bolton, it will be too fast. He needs to suffer!

 

[Vonhelmet]

apparently the actress who played Marei (the flexible lady of negotiable affection) in the first series was actually a working girl in real life at one point....

Amusing to think some dirty old gits must have been watching thinking 'I recognise that prostitute from somewhere'.

edit - not Ros actually but 'Marei' from Baelish's brothel.

See also: Felicia "Snoop" Pearson who played an enforcer for a drug dealer on The Wire, having previously done time for a second degree murder she committed while working as a drug dealer.

Hound is back!

The show is too predictable now it's off-book.
He will fight the Mountain in the trial by combat in episode 9 most likely.

that, and

gets my vote.

Read the rules, this is a work safe forum!

I want Ramsey to win the Game of Thrones and take the Iron throne.

The kingdom under his rule would at least be a well ordered place.

- VOTE RAMSEY -

I didn't think that Ian McShane would be in and out in just one episode, I expected a bit more build up to the Sandor story, it felt far too rushed.

The time line was totally screwed up too, Jon and co are portal jumping vast distances all over the North while only a few days seem to pass for everyone else.
