red wedding

[details=Spoiler]
just passed that part in storm of swords and was like “wow, i can’t believe that just happened.” i mean after what happened in the first book it’s not entirely surprising but two of them were my favorite characters. now i don’t know who to care about.[/details]

this weekend’s episode is called “the golden crown” which can only mean one thing. i can’t wait to see how they pull it off. i thought they depicted tyrion’s sky jail pretty well except isn’t there supposed to be a slope towards the edge? the two other scenes i want to see are the big shocking scene and the final scene from the first book.

62

i understand why they had jaime and ned fighting to a standstill, but its still irksome. in the books jaime was the best swordsman in the seven kingdoms which explained his extreme arrogance, and it also helps explain why things change later on.

63

sweet… thought I was the only one watching this show. now i can join in the discussion.

64

great episode, i liked that Ned is slowly figuring out the dealo with the Lanisters (relating to geoffrey lol)

also that golden crown was well deserved hahaha

65

By the way, episode 7 also came out yesterday. It was web only but some torrent sites have a rip of it.

66

web only… alight… care to link val?

didnt they use to put episode of series up early on the on demand features of cable… they need to bring that back.

67

Getting Ep.7! Fucking LOVE this show!

68

For your information I actually don’t have a clue where it was but I know some ** really nice sites have** it.

If you demand a link, I unfortunately can’t oblige dude.

I suck at subtlety. The official HBO website has the episodes but you can’t download it from there. You can stream though.

69

LOL ok… my bad I thought you were speaking like hbo site (since they did say you could watch “some” of the episode). i figured it was that.

70

The HBO website has full episode 7 I believe.

71

Is there a new way to spoiler tag?

Jaime is supposed to be the best, but Ned isn’t bad either. It was interrupted before it was over, but the match would probably have gone to Jaime.

72

God its been so long since I read the books, but wasn’t Ned originally part of this elite group of fighters, and he participated in this badass epic battle where they beat the elite guards of the Targaryen king? Shit its been so long. Gonna have to reread once DANCE WITH DRAGONS COMES out.

also, how come koop has a “premium supporter” banner and I don’t? I’m jealous.

73

Let’s face it, Tyrion is the greatest Lannister.

74

unrelated sorry, but is there a Camelot thread as well? lol
love both shows, but Games is more gritty for sure.

75

There’s no Camelot thread. Go ahead and start one though I’ll gladly post in it. Or should we just make an HBO thread for spartacus, Camelot and the Borgias?

76

Tyrion is my favorite character in the book, followed by Arya, then Jon.

Sadly, Feast for Crows introduced a whole bunch of unnecessary and unneeded characters.

77

maybe edit this one into a "Medieval TV " thread lool

78

naw jaime is my favorite. GRRM went too far with tyrion and made him too ridiculous (a dwarf that is a major target fighting and surviving in the midst of combat, please), it was too obvious that tyrion was his favorite character so i lost a little bit of interest. tyrion is still top 3 though no question.

79

For the other tv shows, feel free to post in here: Historically inaccurate Television (Camelot, Spartacus, Borgias, etc)

They don’t have the same following so one thread for all of them seems ok.

80

Same here, and I like Jamie as well.
Tyrion in the audiobook has a ton of quotables that are hilarious. It was fucked up what his dad did to him to end his marriage, but I laughed at it. His dad Lord Tywin is hardcore.
