    So what is the statute of limitations on spoilers? I just started a new job today and a lot of the guys I work with watch the show but many have not seen last nights episode yet, no problem. I said nothing. One guy tells me that he hasnt watched the SERIES yet. He said he has both season on DVD. Do I really have to wait until he decides to go through three seasons to talk about anything? I guess I will see what others in the office do.

    id only speak with peeps whove seen what ive seen. its more difficult when you have a friend who is watching the HBO series and tho theyre reading the books, is a slow reader(well slow compared to me). you know whats coming and you have to bite your tongue.

    I agree but it is an IT support center and everyone is one big room with no dividers. I wont say anything because I know how pissed I would be. I am guessing others who are more familiar with him wont bite their tongue. We will see. Just sucks because I want to talk about it so bad. :fp: Its part of the grieving process.

    I cant image how devastating that must have been while reading the book. So much more invested into characters in a book. I probably would have put holes in my walls. :lol:
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    Goddam who's left to kill that's likeable? It seems this season has been about turning bastards into nice guys and killing off all of the good ones. I agree with the Arya comments, I look forward to her going medieval on some Lannisters and these fuckers that turned on Robb and his momma. Shit man, that was probably the most shocking few minutes of television I have seen. How tragic.

    someone asked me if ned stark becomes the hand of the king (or whatever it was) the other day. I kinda wish I could've seen the look on my face.

    I look forward to an update on brianne and lefty next week. and Gendry. I hope he's okay after that thing with the leeches.

    I think Arya needs to track down that assassin dude from last season who referred to himself in the 3rd person and learn his murdering skills.

    Also, the single most tragic part of that episode was the wolf getting shot by a bunch of arrows while he was locked in that cage. I am sick of this show killing the damn wolves. Pregnant women, innocent bystanders, entire families, okay no problem. But lay off the muthafuckin' cuddly animals!

    Dire-wolves arent cuddly though, and if the Freys will shoot humans locked up and unarmed why would they give a Dire-wolf a fighting chance?

    I wish they would have shown the direwolf going crazy on people as happened in the book, but that would have cost money and the effect of arya watching that happen was pretty powerful.

    Watched with my wife last night -- I have read and re-read the books but she had no idea what was coming.
    Classic to see it though someone else's eyes.
    As pissed off as she is as a viewer there is no way to compare that to how you feel after thousands of pages and investment into these characters.
    Good is bad, bad is good....strong is weak, weak is strong. You just dont know what is going to happen.
    Damn, GRRM is awesome.

    Dany is hot. I'm not sure I would call her likeable though. At this point, I'd say the Hound is more likeable! Fucking Game of Thrones.

    I don't know all those people are so bent out of shape about....no one good left to root for? there are no good guys in this show! except maybe Jon Snow. he's the only one I haven't seen any malice from so far (excluding the kids).

    I watched it again last night. The actress who plays Lady Stark deserves an award for that performance. I see her career exploding after this.

    I think we can feel for her a little. Her brother beat her all her life and then sold her to some animal. Plus she has a nice hiney.

    Funny as shit. I would have loved to seen my reaction taped. My jaw didn't shut for 20 minutes and not having music for the credits was genius.

    They put the chapter up on facebook today and i re read it. Those last few pages... Catelyn's thoughts as she watches her son die. The details of he fight.... and the little note about how she worries about her hair and hopes they don't ruin it because ned always loved her hair....

    It is a nice read if you haven't read it and won't spoil anything in the future, but it was harder for me to re read it then it was to watch it. All the emotion you get from being inside Cat's head is just crazy

    sHOOT, I'm like 150 pages away from it. I wish there was a way to read while on the treadmill

    The pic at the end of the chapter shows 6 books. Aren't there only 5?

    Those are great. I've read the books, my husband hasn't so watching him watch the other night was amazing. Of course those of us who read the books were surprised by Robb's wife's death. But I love Cat so much, that was hard to watch. And of course the direwolf...

    Can't wait for next week.
