The scene could have been done just as well (or better, imo) if it was just dialogue between characters. Maybe HBO thought viewers would get bored if it was only exposition. Hence, the nudity. Hopefully they'll tone down the "sexposition" in S2. |

I doubt it. GRRM definitely didn't tone down the sex as the books went on. |

Regarding Bethesda deciding not to do a GoT game...from Joystiq:![]() Maybe letting them do Skyrim first was a good idea, lol. |

Emmys tonight! Hopefully GoT wins. Too bad about the other categories. I'm happy that Dinklage won, at least. |

Beast insisted that a thread be made for the show so here it is. Season 2 premieres tonight at 9 P.M. Got a couple of friends coming over (none of them have read the books) to watch it, so it should be a lot of fun. My body is so ready. Anybody else watching it? |

Oh man, that was so good. A few thoughts: -Ser Dontos, the drunk knight during the tourney, looked a lot like Captain America -I didn't think I could hate Craster even more than I already did -Minor quibble but Ned's letter actually never reaches Stannis in the first place. Stannis already knew about the incest before anyone else. -I suppose it's unavoidable in a book-to-TV adaptation but I wish they could have spent a bit more time with Maester Cressen. In the books, it goes in-depth into his relationship with Stannis and the other Baratheon brothers. Knowing that and his motives for killing Melisandre makes his death a lot more meaningful, imo. -Melisandre totally nailed the "beautiful but sinister" vibe I got from the books. The pics HBO released of her didn't do her justice. ![]() -Didn't see too much of Davos although I don't think he'll disappoint -Loved that shot of Grey Wind -The hunt for Robert's bastards at the end was really done well -Joffrey continues to be a smug douchebag If they stick to the books, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I gotta be honest, I was a bit disappointed, mostly because it was a setup episode and they really switched around the narratives a lot more than they usually do. One thing I noticed (or forgot from season 1) is that a lot of the cast is.... kind of old. Melissandre is just so f**kin gorgeous, I like how all the old people around Stannis are like "why are you following this lady?" Um... really? Cause she's insanely hot. That's why you never get married, you gotta go for the attractive and dangerous women. Even though Stannis is married already. Its going to be interesting to see how they balance the ever-growing cast of characters, my guess is certain characters will be ignored for entire episodes at a time , though they could just add 2 or 3 more episodes. I'm sure they'll do one or the other. And to be even more honest... I don't like Dany that much. Her character just kind of annoys me in a way. Now, I haven't read the books, so I'm sure its different, but as I said last year, she gets pseudo-raped by Drogo, then all of a sudden she becomes uppity and thinks everything belongs to her. Maybe in the books Drogos nice to her, but all he really did in the show was... *ahem*... make love to her from the rear. Yet he was the moon of her stars or whatever, but more importantly, now she thinks she can do things. Sounds like a glorified case of Stockholm syndrome combined with a false sense of entitlement. Now that's just me but I can't stand her, personally. And Joffrey will get his comeuppance...*cough cough cough cough..........cough* Edited by beastman721, Apr 2 2012, 07:41 AM.

Yeah, they upped the ages for all characters. Dany is supposed to be 13 or 14 when she marries Drogo. Obviously you can't have that kind of content on TV, HBO or otherwise. I never liked Dany, tbh. She has some good moments in ACoK and ASoS but other than that, her chapters are really underwhelming. Hell, her entire plotline in the most recent book made me want to bash my head against the wall. She's so...dumb. Five books in the series and she still hasn't gotten her shit together. It's infuriating. |

Am I really the only one who doesn't find Melisandre attractive?! Anyway, this is the reason why I HATE TV series - just when it starts getting interesting, the episode ends... Edited by ReptilePZ, Apr 2 2012, 02:04 PM.
