    :) yeah, i guess that's why the characters are so interesting and well built, there are long chunks of just getting to know them..

    As for Sansa you picked the moment i think she changes. Perhaps it is at the sept during the beheading tha the gears start turning, but Sansa has to grow up very quickly. She is alone in a very dangerous place and all she can do is smile on the outside while she dies on the inside. Her whole idea of her perfect life shatters before her. When she almost pushes joffrey is when i started to say hmmm maybe i can like her.

    I think in book one i hated sansa. Book two i started to sympathize and moveing forward i started rooting for her.

    I dont remember sansa very much from the books anymore, but from the show and what i do remember i really think sansa got what she deserved. if she had any honor or respect for those around her heresituation wouldnt be what it is. i feel bad for everyone else that had to pay a price cause of sansa but she deserved what she got. if she wasnt such a whiny little liar that cant get her head out of the clouds, most of what happened could have been avoided, but nope she wanted her little fairy tale in a real world, and did anything to keep that childish dream alive.

    i thinks that is just Sansa's journey so far.. like Daenerys started out as timid and her brother's pawn but found her strength and her identity as the "real dragon", Sansa started out as this superficial girl who likes fairytales and prince charming. she trusted the queen but is now disillusioned by her and Joffrey and realizes her mistake.. at least that's how i see.. i kind of feel bad for her and hope she gets to redeem herself in the future..
    also.. is it just me or did she get really tall?

    mmm. Sansa started out all about the fairy tale now she is much smarter and knows what she has to do to survive and not be treated like a traitor (except by the prick Joffrey). I think they make that very clear.
    Again, this episode was all over the place. If I didn't read the books I would be so lost!

    Looking forward to next week cause a lot of shit is going down!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    :D Harrenhall looked good too. Enjoyed Arya's "prayers" at night.

    So I finished the first audiobook over the weekend, and started listening to "A Clash of Kings" on my ride home from Portland, Maine yesterday evening in a lashing rainstorm. I was completely immersed in the book.

    I had been at an agility tournament with the unlost dogs, and it was running late, so I ran them in the last class, jumped into the car, and drove home even before the scores were out. Had to be seated on the couch for GoT! :lol:

    Not having read ahead of the TV show, that last scene was :shock: Major "WTF" moment.

    And as I was showering this morning, I kept hearing "Joffrey. Cersei. Ilyn Paine. The Hound."

    And I'm glad Daenerys is out of the desert. :lol:

    I'm liking The Hound. He's kind to Sansa.

    I'm really loving the opening sequence - I got all excited when they added Harrenhall this week. Arya's prayers were awesome, and it strayed from the book again, but I think it was all very well done.

    My only question - why oh why do they keep skipping through the battle scenes??!!!

    damn... I know I keep saying this every weekend, but I really need to sit down and catch up with the show... I haven't seen any of season 2 yet... between a dance with dragons and the hockey playoffs I've had no time...

    hearing of Harrenhall and the shadow baby really makes me want to sit down and watch the new season though... maybe tonight I'll try and sneak in an episode...

    On a side note - was anyone else as frustrated as i am with a dance with dragons and the timeline issues? I really don't like the fact that he essentially stepped back in time to re-tell the stories of those he left out of a clash with kings... knowing what's happened in other parts of the realm while following characters that are before that point in time... grr.... I really hope I'm in for a surprise with Davos is all I have to say!
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I re-watched season 1 after reading the book, and everything was much, much easier to follow and made a lot more sense... I'd highly recommend it! ;)

    Money- they don't have the budget to do them all- but I read they put a lot of the budget towards the Blackwater episode.. thankfully

    I was thinking the same thing _ they must be prohibitively expensive to try to do on a TV show budget.

    I guess overall, I'd rather have them skip the battle scenes than try to do them cheaply and have it come off poorly executed. (No pun intended.)
