    you are about to read/listen to Storm of Swords. It is a game changer. It is so Good!

    :D;)

    I cannot wait.

    In fact, I'm going to buy the books as well. I already watch the show again on Monday nights, so why not read AND listen?

    can't wait for the next two episodes.. although i kinda don't want it to end since then we'll have to wait almost a year for the next season.. :(
    i guess they made the changes in Dany's story to have more happen in her storyline this season and some of it was nice but some of it felt too made up.. it must have been very challenging for them to make the House of the Undying part.. can't wait to see it..

    i love the scenes when you get some Westeros history.. like when Arya talked to Tywin last week about the Targeryans or when they mention The First Men and Robert's war against the mad king..

    No spoilers! No spoilers!

    But no spoilers, please!

    Driving to Vermont in the morning, cannot WAIT to resume A Storm of Swords. Just listened to the first chapter... sooooooooo gooooooooooood...

    There are a couple of MAJOR GoT fans at work. They are teasing me about what happens.

    Yeah probably best we don't talk about upcoming events like that. I apologize as i've been guilty of it.

    Yeah, some weak-willed individuals like myself will end up googling them and spoiling upcoming events. Whatever though, I'll enjoy the ride even if I do know a thing or two that'll happen.

    Don't worry about it, I do it to myself. I don't mind spoilers too much. Knowing Point B and C may not be ideal, but the ride in between is always fun. And I already spoiled some parts of the Red Wedding for myself before you even mentioned it.

    I rewatched Sunday's episode last night and it was even better the second time around. So much was set up for the final two episodes and I can't wait to see how this stage of the game plays out.

    You'll get there before storm of swords is out... :lol:

    I don't mind throwing out references like that because it doesn't really tell you anything about what happens... just references some event... but you're right, might have said a bit too much there... sorry to all those who haven't read the books, I'll be more careful in the future.


    BTW - is there an episode this weekend? HBO doesn't take the long weekend off do they? Don't most networks usually skip a week if there's a holiday?

    Yep its on

    Battle of the Black Water

    then Episode Ten is titled: Valar Morghulis

    I was worried they may somehow leave the Valar Morghulis part out of the story but with it being the title no way they can do it :)

    I'm weak willed..that's exactly what I did. :oops: I've read a lot of spoilers from the books already though so it doesn't bother me at all. I'll probably forget by the time the show gets to those points. :lol:

    The major networks do, but usually not the premium or other cable networks. New episode is this weekend so don't forget to set your DVR. And we have Monday off so I can watch it again. :D

    Did that for season 1, but I currently have HBO for free and a cheaper package for threatening to cancel my cable. :lol: Will probably have to go back to the torrents for season 3 :thumbup:

    I'm on my second trip through tonights episode. I felt like I missed a thing or two during my first pass through it.

    Agree. I only saw it once (and I've read the books). It was also very dark (physically, you know, like all at night, kind of hard to see). Loved Sansa. Loved the song at the end. Love Tyrion, "Fuck me."
