    Yes, Bran and Rickon :cry:

    I was reading a re-cap of episode and it was suggested that maybe that is NOT the Stark kids hanging but made to seem so. Would make sense since their bodies were charred and you couldn't really tell...

    Killing the two boys was more ruthless than even the killing of Ned Stark. :(

    Man, nothing is off limits on this show! So I wonder if Lady Stark takes out the Kingslayer. I hope!

    Regarding the Reeds and Bran's (eventual) story arc in the books -- which I won't spoil here -- I'm wondering if Osha fills the Reeds role there. Or if they're just going to ignore Bran's whole subplot in the books. I'd be surprised, considering how much time they've dedicated to him already in the show and what a great job the actor has done portraying him.

    I guess you could say that all around though -- the quality of the acting so far has been outstanding. Just another day at the office for HBO programming, I suppose.

    need to watch this week's episode...

    never got to watch last weeks until Thursday, and be the time I watched it and read the hatred from the people who read the books (that I was in complete agreement with), I just didn't bother to say anything...

    Time for a couple more chapters of a dance with dragons and bed... hopefully tomorrow I'll get to this weeks episode.... between the hockey playoffs, work, and the painting of my cornhole board, I have just been too busy! :lol:
    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 think i remember the creators of the show saying something about how some of the characters we meet in the second book will only appear in the third season because there's so much going on this season that they can't just have characters waiting around.. don't know who they mean though..

    anyway, great episode. loved the scene between Jaime and Catelyn at the end. "is that a woman?!". wonder what she'll do.. and will we ever get to know about Jon's mother?

    I enjoyed last night's show. I was glad to see some storylines find their way back to where they should be. I think the changes made with Jon were unnecesary but it seems they are going to have the important stuff happen the same way.
    I was VERY happy to hear Catlyn use the children expeirence as her excuse to let Jamie go. I would have been mad if it was just because she was a scared they were going to kill him. In the books she does it after she learns of Bran and Rickon being killed (obviously not true but everyone thought they were dead) and it pushes her over her breaking point. I think that works better but oh well.

    As Always Arya steels the show. Her interaction with Jaqen was awesome.

    I keep waiting for Dany to get to the house of the undying. They could have easily had that happen tonight ihope they don't try to cram too much into the last two episodes.

    Next up BATTLE OF THE BLACKWATER :D

    you know the whole dead princes thing had me thinking all week. id finally come to the conclusion after my initial shock that theon was too weak to kill the princes but that someone had substituted others. i figured that when stark found out his brothers had been murdered hed come down on theon with everything he had and that someone wasnt a big fan of theons(who is?) and wanted him gone but didnt have the balls to do it themselves was the reason for the the substitution. i also thought theon would be too weak to kill the princes and the last thing hed want is stark mega vengeance coming down on him. it never occurred to me that theon knew the bodies werent the princes... so that was a nice surprise for me in last nights episode.

    I'm curious to see if the battle takes up the whole episode this week. There is going to be a lot of death either way.

    Wait, intodeep, you've been posting in the other Game of Thrones thread (the one with spoilers). Haven't you read the books?

    Regardless, having read the books already myself, I have to admit to certain masochistic pleasure in seeing you folks who haven't read them writhe in suspension as to what happens next. Mwahahahah... :twisted: Who gonna die who gonna die??

    So, I sat down for 2 hours last night and caught up on the last 2 episodes (my apologies to the rangers/devils series, but this couldn't wait any longer)...

    I very much enjoyed the interaction between Arya and Lord Tywin... as something that wasn't in the books, they did a good job of it. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me about it, is that by the end it's kind of implied that Tywin knows she was high-born... why not take her as a captive?

    Also kind of disappointed that the Hot Soup escape at Harrenhall didn't happen, but that was written out long ago when the Tywin stayed at Harrenhall... Anyway, I digress.

    Was happy to see the Jon Snow plot lines come back together somewhat... and the introduction of Rattleshirt... do you think we'll get to meet the person they've cast as Maynce Ryder this season?

    As for everyone's thoughts on Theon well... I'm almost finished ADWD, so I'm starting to get a sympathic towards his character.... Reek, Reek, it rhymes with sneek.

    Still don't like the kidnapping of the dragons... in the books Dany went to the house of the undying willingly, not to save anyone/thing. And I don't remember that whole scene with the killing of the rest of the other 13 in Qarth... did that happen in the books, or is that plot lines being constructed by HBO again?

    The next 2 episodes are building up to be huge... The house of the Undying, the duel with Jon Snow, The battle of the Blackwater, and is it time for the battle at the fist of the first men too? Man oh man... big budget's over there at HBO, hope they spend the $'s in the right spots!
    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 have a feeling that Tywin is going to bite it. He's about to enter battle, has an enemy in Arya and his son wishes to continue playing the game. He could be killed by Robb on the battlefield, stabbed by Arya in the dark (or killed by Jaqen), or maybe poisoned by Tyrion when he arrives at King's Landing expecting to take his place as the Hand.

    I'd really love Joffrey to die as well. He's not very well liked in his realm and there's many people who could kill him. My bet would be that Sansa has a hand in it somehow.

    Continuing with the Lannister-slaughter, I could also see Cersei being killed by Tyrion. She's done enough to piss him off, and his girl isn't safe so long as she lives.
