    so i'm not upset about the Night's King reveal, but I did pause for a moment and consider not watching the show. It seems like its a reveal GRRM was saving for later in the books.

    That is silly and I won't do that but i want my book reading experience to be "pure" i want the surprises to come when they are supposed to.

    For those who read the books if you don't remember the Night King

    I tend to think, if GRRM did not want that final scene in there, they would have cut it out. GRRM seems to be very hands on with the show.

    Exactly. GRRM has the final say in anything that goes into the show. I remember reading an interview with him after season 2 (I think that's when it was) where he was asked about deviations from the book. He said something like "While we want to keep it as close to the book as possible, there are limitations to the production and storytelling on TV." He also said something along the lines of "Producing the show provides another avenue to display the story visually that was not included in the book series."
    From that I'm guessing those items NOT included in the book were probably things GRRM had in his mind but didn't include or made better sense for the overall timeline. I also think that being a TV show which cannot capture as much detail as the books and therefore they can't include as many subtleties....and they need to keep the viewer's attention.

    I didn't read the book, but my understanding was that Joffery's killer was never discussed, or was only assumed. I think the show was more forthcoming because the average viewer wouldn't be able to accept not knowing.

    Can't wait for Sunday!!!!! :D

    Everything that the show has said about Joffrey's killer was said in the books, but some fans are butthurt that their theories didn't turn out to be true.

    No reactions to the bomb dropped last night re: the murder that started the series?

    Or Lysa's crazy-gasms?

    I love the actress portraying her, she does crazy very well.

    She definitely does crazy, very well and she nailed those scenes. Her and LF are a match made in heaven.

    How about Bran basically avenging Jaime?

    I think they botched Locke's role. Seemed like he basically just shows up to get his head twisted off.

    holy crap, i had forgotten that that was the guy who cut off jamie's hand.

    hodor was awesome!!

    littlefinger is my least favorite person on the show. i dislike him more than joffrey. pretty crazy that him and the wife conspired to kill jon arryn. i never would have guessed that.

    Yes I believe so but could be wrong. Maybe implied but not stated? But pretty sure we knew that as I wasn't surprised at all when they said it on Sunday night.

    Won't say it sucked, but one of the worst episodes of the series.Reminded me of all the set up episodes from last season.

    Davos was wooden in the opening scene. Tyrion overacted the hell out of that last scene, which I feared from the previews I'd seen. Those guys are usually money.

    Dany is becoming the Dany from the books, which is tolerable there, but doesn't offer much in the way of viewing. She's been hit or miss the last couple seasons and it's mostly miss unless she plays the "dracarys" card.

    I enjoyed the episode and Tyrion's raging against the throne room during his trial.
    I can taste some of the things (2 in particular) that I am hoping they put into this season and do justice.

    I thought Tyrion's outburst was fantastic!!
    As a non-book reader, I'm super curious to see who Tyrion picks for the battle. I think the obvious choice would be Bronn as I don't see many people being able to take that guy.
    I'm pretty sure Tyrion is going to pick Jaime. Tyrion knows all about the "deals" and he knows that Tywin wants the Lannister name to go on....and the only one who can do that is Jaime. Jaime made the deal to go back, rule the land, have kids, etc. Tyrion picking Jaime to fight puts Tywin in a awkward place. Tywin knows Jamie can't fight now, he knows he'll lose. How could he possibly grant Tyrion that fighter knowing he'll lose?

    I'm also curious to see if Bronn betrayed Tyrion. He said Shea was on the ship. He also wasn't at the trial...

    Goddamnit! I want more Thrones!!!!!

    How many episodes are left for this season?
