Game of Thrones

*avoids spoilers*

If somebody really nice would PM me and tell me how to find this online so I can watch it at the internetless hell that is Camp Staff you will be my new favorite.

Please?

[Xalxe]

So the wedding at the Twins.

Will surely work out fantastic, for this is a setting in which fantastic things happen for Starks.

I can't wait for the joy to be spread!

Real World. MTV shows up and makes a hit reality show featuring Sansa Stark, Petyr Baelish, Margaery Tyrell, Daenerys, Ygritte, Robert Baratheon, Big Walder and the Damphair.

New Targaryen Novella!

[Xalxe]

Holy shit yes.

[Xalxe]

season 2 just came asdoifadsufidhsafdsa fuck the next ten hours I'm BUSY

[Xalxe]

I seem to recall hearing that it would happen this season.

Edit:

According to Benioff, the third season will contain a particularly memorable scene from A Storm of Swords, the prospect of filming which was part of their motivation to adapt the novels for television in the first place.

I wonder what that could be...

References to certain people (

Jeyne or whatever the fuck her show analog is

) being on the RW set were made.

[Xalxe]

anyone see the episode names

Spoiler:

episode 9 = RAINS OF CASTAMERE

CHRIST YES

[Xalxe]

Tierce beat me, damn her.

Sweet jesus I cannot

wait

for this season.

[Xalxe]

Spoiler: Pic from the trailer

I really imagined the Unsullied fat(ter?) or just generally more built.

Everyone keeps saying this and I don't know why, this is exactly how I imagined them.

[Xalxe]

Season 4 does not exist. No sirree.

(not that there was any doubt, ever, but still)

[Xalxe]

I think it's been confirmed for S4.

[Xalxe]

My money is on

Joff's

being Season 3 and

Robb's

being Season 4

You're backwards (and that's not even the order in the books).

[Xalxe]

JESUS CHRIST THIS SEASON

I CANNOT WAIT

[Xalxe]

Oh my sweet jesus I can't with that trailer.

Is it March 31 yet is it is it PLEASE?

[Xalxe]

Deciding when grief steps over that line, sapo, is not really an easy thing to do.

Breastfeeding your child for eight years isn't normal, Seacore.

[Xalxe]

Spoiler: Cat stuff

I can't tell whose side you're on in the love/hate Cat debate here, but I think arresting Tyrion was a fairly sensible decision: she was told the dagger was his, she wanted him arrested and that was probably the only chance she had. Taking him to the Eyrie was also sensible, esp. with the Winterfell mislead.

However, releasing the Kingslayer I feel was her first terrible decision; she knew how valuable he was, and there was no way that releasing him could help Robb's effort. That's where I start to lose sympathy for her.

Spoiler:

She was a mother who desperately wanted her children back...

Spoiler:

And if Rob won the war she'd get them back.

Book thread

[Xalxe]

So I just watched it. I liked it! I agree with whoever that there weren't a whole lot of "fist pump" moment, but that's to be expected: the first episodes need to set up the later stuff.

Didn't notice they introduced Qyburn, didn't even catch his name. That'll be interesting; might he have been a plant?

I really like what they're doing with the Tyrells; it's a little blatant "LOOK HERE'S A GOOD QUEEN" but it's necessary as a contrast.

Missing Strong Belwas though.

[Xalxe]

I just watched it and spend forty minutes squealing with glee. I think it says a lot about the show that they can both take the scenes from the book and do them beautifully AND give us new scenes that we never could've gotten which are still just as good.

Dis a good season you guys.

[Xalxe]

Her whole conversation with Sansa... I WANT TO BELIEVE that she's being genuine, but Margaery knows Loras is a cocksmoker, so she's being quite less than genuine.

My take: of course she knows Loras is not interested in Sansa's "womanly charms," but I think she knows that Sansa marrying Loras and living out her days at Highgarden, even sans sexytimes, are infinitely preferable to being trapped in King's Landing and being married off to some lesser lord as a reward or whatever the Lannisters have planned for her, or being married off to Littlefinger (ew). She knows that Sansa is a good girl who just fell into some deep shit and doesn't feel she should suffer for it.

Obviously the bedding would be awkward but hey, they'll figure something out. Find a nice bisexual lord to help both parties along maybe?

[Xalxe]

(IIRC there's actually a canon lord who is interested in both sexes and I can't remember who - Taena Merryweather's husband maybe?)

PEDIT: ew no thanks
PPEDIT: Yes they are, Theon's at the Dreadfort.

[Xalxe]

Spoiler:

I'm confused, was theon originally being tortured by the ironborns, and then rescued by the acher dude, and then brought to the dread fort for the boltons? Like was he saved from the ironborns by the boltons so they could take him and torture him themselves?

Spoiler:

Theon was saved from the Boltons and taken to the Boltons.

[Xalxe]

Spoil that.

[Xalxe]

...How on earth is that a spoiler? There is no context whatsoever. I might as well "spoil" that Loras is a Tyrell.

Whatever, fine.

Spoiler:

He's likely going to end up in the Kingsguard here soon so that other events can occur.

[Xalxe]

(IIRC there's actually a canon lord who is interested in both sexes and I can't remember who - Taena Merryweather's husband maybe?)

Read through the 3rd book not watching the show but I think that this is

the Red Viper? I know his woman (Ellisaria Sand) is definitely bi.

(Spoiled because I don't think that's important but I'm not sure)

Oh yeah, maybe that's who I'm thinking of.

[Xalxe]

Yes, but here's the thing: you don't know it all. So much is cut from the TV show that if you jump into book three you will spend the entire time going "wait who is this why are they important should I care that they just died the fuck is going on here."

[Xalxe]

No that was exactly his point.

[Xalxe]

I figure they'll combine the events and do two seasons.

[Xalxe]

(believe he's making a cock joke)

[Xalxe]

Sheeeeeeeeit. Didn't expect to like the Littlefinger monologue/montage but the shock of Ros's fate floored me even though it should have been obvious in retrospect and Sophie Turner broke my heart. I like that they're willing to try new things on this show as well (monologue montage this week, punk song over the credits in ep 3...).

First time in a long time the show has truly floored me. I expected Ros to have a FAR greater role, and quite honestly before they showed her dead I figured that LF finding out she tattled to Varys was just gonna be the reason she filled Dontos' slot (future spoiler)

and got a crossbow in the heart post-PW

[Xalxe]

People suck.

[Xalxe]

(S4 was picked up days after the S3 premiere)

But YES THANK YOU PLEASE CAST GOOD PEOPLE

[Xalxe]

Same, but in fairness, there's one particular role that I don't know how they'd fill otherwise.

[Xalxe]

Am I the only one that doesn't like new Daario?

[Xalxe]

I instantly thought S3 Daario was about perfect. I didn't get the same reception at all from this one. I'm open to changing opinions but IMO he didn't pull off the same "swagger" that his predecessor had.

PEDIT: No.

[Xalxe]

That was everything I wanted and more. 10/10 would attend more weddings.

[Xalxe]

Maybe. I'm wondering if this will mess with anything down the line.

All Book Spoilers:

I mean after Tyrion flees KL, Broon goes off and marries Lollys who we haven't really seen in-show yet, so probably Bronn's just going to play Ilyn and hang around with Jamie instead of fucking off and naming his kid Tyrion. Also potentially puts him in the picture when Brienne takes Jamie to Lady Stoneheart, which is neat.

[Xalxe]

Ooooh, by the way (ASOS book spoilers):

Was Margaery involved in the murder in the books? I don't recall her being involved, I just recall it being LF/Olenna/Dontos, but you can pretty specifically see Margaery set Joffrey's goblet in front of Olenna in the show which means she was probably involved?

(ASOS+)

I don't know that it's been officially said outright in the book "Okay, this is whodunnit, and here's how," I think we've just inferred quite a lot from what Littlefinger and others said. I'd have to reread the scene in the book but I don't recall Margaery being stated as having touched the cup but not sure on that.

I would be surprised if

she had no idea, though. In the book and in the show even more she is portrayed as someone cunning. She is essentially a more savvy version of Cersei, someone who is able to work the system to get what she wants rather than someone who is vainly trying to break down that system.

Oh aye, she's definitely aware of exactly what's happening, I'm just saying that I don't know if she actually acted. But now I'm probably gonna go reread the scene.

[Xalxe]

(better quality, yw)

What scene is this from?

Also yeah that scene...not my favorite at all. But Oberyn, hells yes. I like him way more than Book!Oberyn.

(still hate new Daario ew)

[Xalxe]

I think they're misusing Oberyn a bit, though... like, every scene so far he's doing one of two things: making sex eyes at someone, or complaining about his dead sister. We get it. You don't have to remind us literally every episode, because it starts to sound like a broken record.

To be fair that's about all I recall him doing in the books at this point.
