Game of Thrones

[Spice 1]

I don't mean to say that it ruined the episode only that it seemed way to unrealistic.

But that's okay.

Loras got exposed big time. What a punk. I didn't see Tywin marching for King's Landing, so that was great for me. I thought the whole season was kind of predictable until that happened. That, and the Hound giving the king the finger. That was pretty good.

The size of Stanis' siege force, and the fact that he made it up the ladder without a helmet didn't really bother me. It's easy for me to overlook stuff like that in a show like this. The main thing I took away from it, is that it fills in Stanis' character a little more. He may have a cold personality, but he's a fearless commander that understands that it's important to maintain the initiative. If you want a job done right, do it yourself. Plus, in contrast, look at the king. Polar opposites.

The Reeds are in!

Okay, so a partial list of the new characters for Season 3 has been published. I like Mance, but I'm really looking forward to the Reeds and The Blackfish. Love the Queen of Thorns too. Not sure why they list Edmure as a "brash young member of the Tully family". More specifically, in the books at least, he's Catelyn's brother.

I don't agree. They didn't really do justice to Stannis's fleet or number of men.

Thought it was a good episode it just made me wonder. You look and see maybe 100 men past the wall and they're all like OMG There are too many.

Episode 9 is the first episode this season,that made me smile.



Im not feeling the Daenerys arc,this season I dont want to see her looking for her dragon for most of the season...They should of kept that,matter of fact its not even in the book...I dont have a problem with them changing someone's arc but atleast make it interesting....

Child actress Kerry Ingram has been cast in Game of Thrones.

The 12-year-old will play Shireen, daughter of Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), according to various Twitter posts.

Ingram wrote on her own personal account: "Can't wait to start on Game of Thrones."

Her casting and role were later confirmed by the Berkshire Arts Academy, who tweeted: "Well done [Kerry] for getting the role of 'Stannis Baretheon' daughter 'Shireen' in 'Game Of Thrones S3'."

A list of new characters debuting in the third season of Game of Thrones was recently unveiled, confirming the presence of both Shireen Baratheon and the character's mother Lady Selyse Florent.

Ingram recently won an Olivier Award for her role in the musical Matilda. She will next be seen in the film adaptation of classic musical Les Misérables.

The third season of Game of Thrones will air on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK in early 2013.

At least you still have the books... :thumb:

And just a reminder for everyone. Tonight's episode is 10 minutes longer than normal. So, check those DVRs and make sure everything's set accordingly.

Valar Morghulis!

Ahhhhhh its over!!! I don't want the season to end haha.

So, if they are just casting now, it's safe to say we have a long way to go before we have a rough date for the start of season 3?

I would imagine about the same time next year... though that is just a pure guess...

MnG will probably come in with a magical date tomorrow since he seems to know everything there is to know about the series.


I also suggest.... reading the books that should keep you busy for a bit... haha

[Frenchy180]

I can't wait to watch this episode! looks like it will have to wait at least until I wake up though

The man is patient.

I've been told too patient, but that's a story for another thread

April 7th, 2013 7:00pm MDT. (could be March 31st too, I suppose)

Must... keep... this... short...

Dany ending: kinda cheesy. Doreah, you little.... Should have let her die on the Red Waste.

But, I was looking for 3 things last night. (i.e. Hoping for these things to make it from the books to the box screen):

1) Valar Morghulis and Jaqen changing face... check
2) Jon Snow vs Halfhand... check
3) A certain vision of Dany's in the House of the Undying... "His is the song of ice and fire."

2 out of 3 ain't bad, I guess.

Oh, and I won't link it here, but go to YouTube and search for Game of Thrones Dominik Omega. Not bad.
