Game of Thrones

I suppose the common interpretation is that he'd obviously want to save his daughters, as well. I agree with this. But there's a certain desperation in the fact that he could've lived, and things could've turned out so much more differently. Like his death was meaningless, but not in an emotional attachment sort of way (his death was clearly very sad and impactful). But in like an in-story sort of way. The fact that he's just a victim of this horrible monster of a f*cking child is the saddest part for me.

 

The impact of his death is heavily amplified at this point, when you realize just how screwed the Stark family bloodline is. It's all up to Jon and Arya now, isn't it? Bran too, I guess.

 

 

In regards to Joffrey, though. As long as the cough is violent enough, my sadistic needs will be satisfied.

 

Don't forget about Rickon! hahah, no I'm just kidding, that kid is as useless in the books as he is in the show.

 

 

Oh, it's more than just a cough. It's brutal.

I want no spoilers so I won't read the above, but I started watching via Xfinity / Comcast's WATCHATHON marathon lasting a week, free HBO series as well as any subscription service already under your pay grade so to speak. I watched Boardwalk Empire as well, and I have to say, HBO simply does not disappoint for any of their original programming. They've come alolng way since the 1970s!

 

Home Box Office. When I first had cable, I watched their original series Larry Sanders Show and Dream On, introducing actress Wendy Malick at the time, she's everywhere now!!

 

For a short time, HBO had uncensored comedy called Hardcore TV, really miss that show!

I plan to keep up with this series as a whole, but I ran out of time before concluding the first season.

 

I was somewhat spoiled by the fact they aired upcoming previews so you knew a character was still alive for that plot to take place in a future episode. Hard to avoid such things though

GoT is hard to avoid spoilers on, because like you said just knowing someone is alive is a spoiler... Love HBO too, the Wire, Vice, Bill Mahr... they are good.

ADWD spoilers:

 

 

 

Some fans speculate that his whole arc is a "Shaggydog" story, that is, a pointless, meandering narrative with no purpose (hence the direwolf's name). However, Martin is famous for subverting literary tropes, so the name "Shaggydog" may actually portent an important role for Rickon in future. Rickon certainly has some use as it is because of him that Davos, Stannis' right hand man, will be in Skaagos rather than by his side in the upcoming events at Winterfell. My bet is on him becoming the Lord of Winterfell/King in the North at the end of the series with Bran so far north (and immobile) and Jon's uncertain fate (I doubt that he's dead, but I reckon he'll either die at the end or continue his tenure at the Watch, assuming the institution is still there at the end).

 

Personally I think that Manderly's plan to get Rickon from Skaagos needs to come into fruition. We've heard too much of Skaagos in the series thus far to be deprived of seeing it, so I doubt that Davos will just be killed of "off-page" there. Moreover, Osha is shrewd and knows the North well and seems to care for the Stark boys somewhat, so I doubt she would have taken Rickon to a place of serious danger--Skaagos' dark reputation could just be a ruse to prevent people from reaving their land.

I don't know where Arya fits into this, Sansa could be re-united with Tyrion and live in relative peace... but still, who is Septa Lorane (sp?) so many other questions...

Well her stretch marks suggest that she's given birth. That, her apparent age and beauty suggest to many people that she's Ashara Dayne, who some believe to be Jon's mother. I think this is just a red herring and prefer This theory (don't click unless you're OK with potential spoilers about Jon's parentage. Based on your phrasing I wasn't sure whether you already know about the theory, so sorry if me saying so is redundant). Personally I don't want Sansa to be reunited with Tyrion as theirs was not a marriage built on happiness--she'd be better off marrying Gendry or someone. There's a fair bit to suggest that Aegon is not a Targaryen at all, funnily enough--evidence includes the "mummer's dragon" scene in the House of the Undying. This is really just academic though--he could still shape up to be a good ruler. In any case, I really don't see Danaerys and Aegon getting along given the suggestion of a second "Dance of the Dragons" in the text. Interesting stuff ahead, in any case.

I'm refusing to read the excerpt chapters that have been released. I just want to read it all in 20 years when the Winds of Winter finally comes out.

[El Dildo]

first episode was kinda' weak actually.
no real focus. a lot of relatively pointless violence.

stumbling across the man who stole your 'toothpick' while riding through the middle of nowhere is a pretty miraculous stroke of luck. good timing that

and I love how the mighty Khaleesi suddenly goes weak in the knees because some jock asshole knows the difference between local flowers.

other than that, the scenes with Tyrion, Hound, and Cersei never fail to deliver.

[Xerukal]

 

When I read this plot description for the first episode of Season 4...

 

"Tyrion welcomes a guest to King's Landing. At Castle Black, Jon Snow finds himself unwelcome. Dany is pointed to Meereen, the mother of all slave cities. Arya runs into an old friend."

 

I was kind of hoping that the "old friend" Arya runs into was gonna be Syrio Forel. God, I loved that guy. I still refuse to believe he's dead. In case someone forgot, I'm talking about this guy;

 

http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Syrio_Forel

 

Apparently, there are speculations going around that Jaqen H'ghar and Syrio Forel might be the same person. But again, this may or may not be a delicate form of denial. It's still fun to think about.

 

I haven't read the books. So perhaps Syrio's fate is revealed in detail there?

This makes a lot of sense though. She's really young remember, and up until recently everyone who's ever had any interest in her would have had to go through her brother (and proceeded to be shot down because they were no help politically). The one that didn't get shot down was a man she'd never met who then literally raped her. Whether she came to love him or not is irrelevant because she was forced into the relationship.

 

Fabio Naharis is probably the first guy to openly hit on her while she's been in a position of power. None of the Dothraki would have, she's their king widow. Everybody in Quarth was lording power over her. Astapor was apparently staffed completely by assholes and Jorah is too much of a pussy to make a move.

 

It's no wonder she's flattered. Not that I trust Lord Smuggo, he's clearly an asshole.

[Xerukal]

Honestly, I preferred Daario's previous actor.

 

The new guy just seems a bit... generic. We have enough bearded men already, don't we? I hope he's a good actor at least. Haven't seen much of him, so I suppose I can't judge just yet.

I love reading those chapters, it proves he is still working on it. Every non-Winds of Winter thing that gets published make me feel like a parent with George R.R. Martin; "George! Do your homework first! Then you can have fun with your maps, quips and cooking."

 

 

I am aware of and subscribe to R+L=J. Very much... I thought i was a genius when I thought of it, before I started getting into the search on the internet, then I found it was a leading theory. We all think alike, us humans. I never thought about the mummars Dragon in that context, I always took it to mean Quentyn, just because he failed. God I love ASoF, give us so much to talk about.

I love that theory as well... the books even further support it.

 

 

as well as giving further examples of people Syrio could be, i.e. the Kindly Man in Bravos.

Yeah the new Daario is much less of a Fabio impersonator and I feel like the character feels lesser for it somehow. Like you said, he's another dark-haired, bearded white guy. We kind of have that base solidly covered in this show. At least shave him and give him a wig, there's more than enough of them on set.

[orbitalraindrops]

In the book Dario is bearded although the three prongs of his beard are dyed different colours.

 

 

for people who are up to date with the books how do you feel the battle for winterfell will go?. I reckon ramsay will get killed off but Roose will survive somehow. I do see stannis getting killed as well. I just see no place for him in the final play and his army is starving and freezing. I reckon the manderlys are going to win it for stannis though.

The old Daario actually reminded me of a very young Schwarzenegger Conan. Probably why I liked him so much. Really enjoyed those movies as a kid.

I am sad that the Tyroshi in the show are not colorful like the books. It would have looked cool on-screen.

 

 

I honestly think that Stannis will stay alive for a long time, I'm not sure how Winterfell will work out, but of all the religions of Westeros/Essos, the Red God's seems to be the only one able to do stuff. It's brought people back from the dead, multiple people, multiple times, created the demon-smoke-baby, predicted accurate fates and their traditional enemies (the Others/White Walkers) have been seen to be real. I love this thread. More is hidden than not....

 

 

Anyone heard the old joke? "How can you tell if a Game of Thrones fan has read the books? Oh, they'll tell you. They will tell you."

[orbitalraindrops]

lol yeah but if you spend all that time reading those tomes and immersing yourself in the world you do wanna lord it over someone who watches an hour of tv a week for two thirds of the picture. That said I only started reading in 2010. There are people who started reading in 1996. Imagine how much those guys have invested in the series.

[El Dildo]

yeah I really hate the new Dario too.

My wife hate when, every three seconds on the show, I say... "Okay, so in the books what happened here was". But for me it truly does add to my enjoyment, for instance in Season 1 when Ned ordered Baric Dondarian to get the Mountain, well for the show it was kind of a throwaway name, but to understand fully why and what that means... awesome. Also seeing Janos Slynt in Castle Black... I know that was confusing for a lot of the show watchers.

Anyone who has Comcast cable like me, Xfinity offers a Post Watchathon deal of $10 additional per month for all the premium movie channels available, that being one of your choosing, like HBO to catch all their original series. I still think that would be over $100 a month though, in my case. And though there's a lot to watch from, I'll just be looking for used DVD sets at the local pawnshops, of which there are many where I live

Just find a friend with Comcast or DirectTV and borrow their login info, you can then use HBO Go on your PS or XBox.

It's not that unbelievable that Arya runs into Polliver. It's more clear in the book, but like I said before this is the inn that sits on the most travelled crossroads in Westeros. There is only one road that goes from the north to the south, the Kingsroad. The inn is at the crossroads where you can go north to "the North" (the Twins, Winterfell), south to "the Crownlands" (Harrenhal, King's Landing), west to "the Riverlands" and "Westerlands" (Riverrun, Casterly Rock), and east, where Arya and Sandor were traveling to the Eyrie. On top of that the inn is close to the only crossings for hundreds of miles for one of the biggest rivers in Westeros. In other words, the inn is sitting on top of a traffic bottleneck.

 

As for Daenerys falling for Daario. A regular theme for Daenerys' story is that she has it in her to be a queen and leader, but she's still a young woman who is prone to responding emotionally. Sometimes it's a good thing, like freeing an army of slave soldiers who pledge their lives to her, sometimes it doesn't work out as well. Examples of which, you will see in upcoming episodes. But the main thing is, in the books she's just a teenager, so of course a handsome dashing rogue who kills for her, and brings her flowers will get to her. Also in the books, you get to read her inner monologue, which basically goes like this, "OMG, he is soooooooo hawt. I totally wanna make out with him." And that's even before he starts to hit on her.

 

Speaking of Daario, it's weird because the actor who played Daario in the third season looks completely different than the actor they got to play him in the fourth season.

[Tyler]

f*ck it though Daario this season is hunky as f*ck and I don't care about issues of canon in the show as long as I get to see that guy's face on the screen more.

[MrcTOtheJ]

The guy they got to play Oberyn was so spot on it's not even funny, glad they got someone who could play him so well, always liked him in the books.

 

 

A Storm of Swords Spoilers: (I.E Season 4 Spoilers so don't click unless you've read the books)

 

Damn shame the Mountain kills him though.

 

 

Loved Sandor's whole Chicken thing (Suprised to see how far the Meme has taken, see Avatar for details lol) as well I'm fine if there's allot of Non book stuff as he and Arya have a great dynamic.

[darthYENIK]

f*ck it though Daario this season is hunky as f*ck and I don't care about issues of canon in the show as long as I get to see that guy's face on the screen more.

He's much closer to how I imagine Daario. Still weird though.

[MrcTOtheJ]

Yeah he's allot closer to how I imagined him as well, albeit no forked beard or Blue dye, but oh well.

 

That said I think they both did his Personality rather well which is the bigger thing they need to be able to do in my eyes.

[Zepren]

I must say, I prefer the new Daario. The old one was mostly just annoying but the new one's more roguish and I'd say he has better chemistry with Dany than Daario 1. Daario 2 isn't closer to the books or anything but we'll soon see. There's a few things that have happened in the books by now which haven't happened yet in the show.

[darthYENIK]

This has been making it's rounds on the internet, and I think some people need to see it who complain about people dying, or how the writers just torture the characters...

I don't mind all the people dying. It's fun. By that I mean, it's thrilling for the emotions. You get attached to these characters, they die. You're sad. This is good. It's a sign that they're great characters that you get attached to, and that the writers and actors are doing their jobs perfectly.

 

However, they can't all die. Someone will emerge victorious and claim the throne. One day.

 

 

But Tyrion better not f*cking die or I swear I will sh*t diarrhea fury. He's the Daryl of GoT.
