Couldn't resist episode 2 could I?

Another good episode but it's frustrating only getting one or two scenes per house/storyline.

Fucks sake. Got two weeks to wait now.

Oh and Tyrion is boss.

Actually, I think we'll only have to wait 1 week, because I think HBO Go is airing each episode one week early. Which means we'll be one episode ahead the whole time.

Great show and great books (and I loathe fantasy writing normally). Shows only weakness is that some of the actors are slightly weak for their characters. But thankfully Tyrion rules all.

That is very funny, Carroll is Hodor is spot on

Leeds as the Targeryans is very good as well. Wouldn't mind Neil Warnock getting a 'golden crown'

Finn Solomon · « **Reply #1250 on:** April 4, 2012, 06:20:30 PM »

Everton as the Night's Watch, Aston Villa as the bastard Freys, and Wigan as Brienne of Tarth are hilarious.

A bastard would have more claim to the throne than Joffrey, put it that way.

Not Joffrey, put it that way!

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #1256 on:** April 4, 2012, 09:44:58 PM »

The bastards would also prove that Joffrey and the others are not Robert's kids, because of their hair colour, build etc.

The scouring of the bastards scene was proper brutal. Even though it happened off screen, the baby getting stabbed was just awful.
Joffrey is on the fast track to making the city despise and rise up against him.

The point is, the Lannisters are killing anyone who has any claim to the throne, or who would put Joffrey's position is jeopardy. Since Robert had no trueborn children, by rights Stannis has the strongest claim as Robert's oldest brother. Then Renly, as the younger. No one else has a legitimate claim to the throne.

Bastards cannot inherit, and therefore cannot become lords or kings. Roberts bastards are being killed to remove any evidence that Joffrey isn't Robert's son, as claimed in Stannis' messages.

Another torrent page if possible? I downloaded from that and got to 92.4 percent before it going down to 1kb's a second. when i go back to that page it has a error with the site.

I just stream all the eps from here:

http://www.1channel.ch/watch-1386995-Game-of-Thrones

no downloading necessary, but its a good idea to let it stream for a bit before watching, depending on your broadband speed, so its not buffering as you're watching it.
the new eps are usually up pretty sharpish once they're aired in the US.
use the putlocker or sockshare links with the yellow stars, no registration or fannying about required.

haha that's great!
Kenny is totally Ned Stark.
Torres = Sansa: once the pretty daughter of the Stark House, now trapped in an unhappy marriage to the Lannisters (chelsea).
Lucas = Bran: the cripple, yet possessing very special abilities, possibilty the last hope of the House.
Carra = Ser Roderick: long time loyal servant to the House, fierce in battle, yet whose skills are on the wane.

I'd say Rafa would be a closer analog for Ned Stark. Kenny is (not in terms of generation, but in terms of popularity and owing to the fact that he still rules) more like Robb, at the moment.

I'm going to go ahead and talk about some differences with the book. Those who don't like it, please simply ignore it. The fact is that it is the TV series I'm talking about, and those that have read the book and are watching the series will be interested in having a thread to discuss them. The book thread is not the right place to discuss it, and a third thread is excessive. So apologies in advance.
