    That is cool. I keep hoping they will be announced to go to dragoncon but I doubt that would happen I would love to hear them talk. I know grrm will be at comic con so it makes sense to try to get more of the cast

    I am almost positive that next season will be 12/13 episodes.

    Also, GRRM said in an interview that if they make it that far, he has already been pushing for ASOS to be 18-20 and have a break in the middle after 10 and come back 3 months later for the rest.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    I think I have also read, that the ratings for GOT has increased almost every week since the 1st episode, which is pretty remarkable

    They were going up until episode 6 when they went down slightly. I have not seen what they were for episode 7.

    Also HBO has already said season 2 will only be 10 episodes :(

    I think it has to do with budget.

    With last weekend being a holiday weekend and the hbo go thing i think it i will be interesting to see how it pans out now going back to a normal schedule.

    Ep 1-4 were setting things up
    5-7 was the begining
    8-10 hold on to your seats shits about to hit the fan

    So we'll see what happens this week. It should be awesome GRRM is writing it himself and a lot of critical shit happens in this episode.

    Brilliant! It's like Sharpe humped LotR and gave me an awesome baby.

    That's a fantastic description. Although it reminds me more of Cornwell's Saxon series than Sharpe.

    The cast will be at San Diego Comic Con this year, from the rumors I've read. I'm guessing that will be a tough panel to get into.

    Sorry, who is Sharpe?

    This may have been my favorite one.

    The syrio fight scene was great, Drogo taking that guy on one on one was sweet, meeting Jon Umber who is one of my fav minor roles, but nothing beats Rob telling the spy to go back to tywin and tell him "winter is coming" that was awesome.

    oh and direwolves! finally ghost getsa little more screen time.

    Yeah, it was a great episode. Martin did really well with it. I can't wait to see what how they do the wolves when they are fully grown.

    That's funny. My wife is reading the first book and the other day she asked me, "Who is this Rickon?"

    I love this show so much I can't stand it. It's like it gets better and better and better each episode. I bought the first two books, can't wait to read them.

    Ratings hit an all time high of 2.7 mil for just the 9pm EST viewing. total views over 8mil i think.

    Not groundbreaking but good numbers.

    I need more people to start watching or i'm going to cut their manhood off and feed it to goats.

    I want so many people watching it will guarantee we get season 3 and 4 which it will take to get through book 3.

    If the ratings stay close to that in season 2, I think season 3 will be a lock. I just hope the long break inbetween seasons does not hurt them.

    Do they factor in people that DVR it or watch it on demand? I rarely watch it when it is airing, and even if I do, like last week, I started it on tape after it had already started.

    I think I read that DVR numbers don't count towards ratings yet, but are to be implemented starting this fall for TV shows. Not sure if this is the same for cable or not. I'm sure they have the DVR numbers though, which probably adds to it. I usually watch it on DVR as well.

    I am not an expert but i think the overall views that are usually in the upper 8-9 million for GoT facors in DVR watches. I'm not positive though so don't quote me on that.

    So next week Ned's in jail, Rob's going to war, Jon just got attacked by a wight and need to deal with the aftermaht of that, and the Khal and his army are marching to the sea.

    oh and what is arya to do after her first kill?

    Should be a pretty exciting episode.. :D

    I was really sad when sword fighter/dancer guy got killed. :(
    I loved seeing him destroy those guards...too bad he didn't have a real sword!!

    i'm with you ! this show kicks ass...
    however, im not too fond of the super natural element...the whitewalkers dont add anything to the plot...i think it's good enough without the zombies
