    That might have been the most violent hour of tv I've ever seen. Great episode last night.

    The ten year old breast feeding was beyond disturbing. I told my wife it was disturbing in the book, but it was just a couple of sentences and then you were focusing on the conversation, not the disturbing kid sitting there the whole time!

    So I was saving a few of these episodes on Sky + to watch a big chunk all at once but it turns out some tit in my household has deleted episode 1 :roll:

    Guess I will have to wait a little bit longer I guess :lol:

    Do they have an "on demand" option with Sky?

    I know most cable providers here in the States have "on demand" and for instance my provider has every episode up and you can watch it. Or does Sky offer you access to HBO Go? If so you could watch the first one online through their site and then watch the rest on your tv.

    Another great episode. The crown scene at the end was awesome.

    I got recommended this after knowing nothing about it, and I ended up hammering through the first 5 eps in a row! ( good use of having the house to myself while my girlfriend is away :) )

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

    That is great that you are liking it!

    I got to watch the Golden Crown Episode last night (been out of town) and I thought it was really good. I was hoping for a little more gruesomeness from the crowning. I loved when it happened though as Visery's is such an easy person to hate.

    We need some more Jon Snow! I haven't seen ep 7 but hopefully we get more action on the wall next time.

    Sansa & Joffrey make me want to puke :?

    Last Sunday my husband says."Hey honey, isn't tonight, the night, your show, Crown of Thornes comes on?" and yes, he is a fan, of the band, but not the series. I am looking forward to reading the books. I am really enjoying Sunday nights now! I have watched all the episodes, and am trying to keep up with everything that is going on.

    Finally watched last week's show. It continues to be great. I thought something else big would happen at the end of this episode, but it was still cool to see Viserys get it. They are doing a fantastic job of keeping it faithful to the books. Speaking of which, I'm 30 pages from finishing book 2 and then am moving to book 3!

    This show is so incredibly good.

    What are we, 6 episodes in? I found myself watching 1-5 again because I was having a hard time keeping track of several characters that are spoken about, but we haven't seen (that's what I get for watching them too late at night the first time around).

    I haven't read the books, so I have no idea where it's all going. But from what they've established so far, I can see it going on for a quite a while :)

    The only thing I don't like about the show is that 10 episodes are WAY too few to address all the plot details in the book. Though they are doing a good job with what is being shown, it just seems rushed to me. I don't know why HBO is limiting them because 12 or 13 episodes would be so much better!

    Agreed. I have not clue how they are going to wrap this up in 3 episodes

    That said holy shit last weeks was really good. So many awesome things happened.
    NED?!?! Played by Cersie. It seems the show has made Cersie a little more sympathetic then the books but she went full on Bitch this episode which is the Cersie I know and Hate.

    Loved Khal Drogo's speech. Very passionate so well done.

    I can't wait to get this on DVD and watch the season all the way through again.

    +1, will have the dvd's to watch again too. I think HBO had 10 episodes since they did not know how it would work out, but it seems the rating have surpassed anything they hoped for.

    It was awesome seeing everything hit the fan. The next 3 episodes should be intense.

    The opening scene watching Jamie getting put in his place was awesome. All while cleaning that animal.

    I watched #7 last night. :o Awesome!!!!!

    Ned got played bigtime! I knew Littlefinger was not to be trusted, but I didn't think he'd do that! I hope he gets what's coming to him!

    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.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
