I'm to TV shows what Noodle is to football.
You don't like zombie shows then
Ichi the Killer is much more excessive and tedious.
Funny you say that but I enjoyed The Walking Dead until it started to do a vague impression of a cheap soap opera.
Stannis is becoming one of my favourite characters. I hope he takes the charge of things more and more till Mhysa arrives.
Mhysa?
Please don't latch onto another bloody nickname for her. I already blame Iain Glen for using Khaleesi way more than he should.
Daenerys is such an awkward name though
Mhysafecker
Just write Dany.
To be fair, "Danny" is much worse i'd say... makes her sound like a little girl (or boy)
'Nerys.
I always remember it like 'Does Anyone Else Nerys?'
Popular abbreviation Does anyone else is DAE.
DAE Nerys?
Daenerys.

Daenerys.
Cheers.. Should probably have figured that one out.
Anyway, here's my speculation regarding who gets killed next season:
1. Shae. Tyrion's hot wench. Varys tends to know best and she should have took the diamonds and left. Going by the show's logic so far, anyone who doesn't understand the game and fecks up gets punished. Definitely dying next season IMO.
2. Joffrey. He won't remain king for too long I'd think and as the most detestable character in TV history, the writer just has to have shown the decency to his readers to have him punished at some point. He is also a bit of an idiot = death by Martin's pen. Would miss him though. Love hating him and there's a lot of satisfaction involved in seeing him get put down / smacked around.
3. Jorah. Used to like him, but he gets more pathetic by the minute. The look on his face in the Red Wedding ep when Daenerys asked for Carroll after the sack of wherever
Also, he betrayed her in S1, when he ran off at once to report the news of her being pregnant so probably deserves it. It's starting to seem like she has outgrown him.
4. Lord Bolton and his bastard. Allied to the Lannisters and new Warden of the North, but have a feeling those evil feckers gets it. Especially if there's a white walker invasion.
5. Book readers. All of them.
HM:
Daenerys. Her God complex indicates that she might mess up on her mission IMO. Also, she is probably the only(?) "good" leader left. Martin seems to love killing those, although I hope he doesn't kill her. She's the only one left in one of the major families so probably she lives though.
If Tywin or Tyrion dies I'm gonna rage.

I think Davos is actually the most awesome character out of that Melisandre-Stanis-Davos triangle.
Stanis is way to gullible imo, he just does what Melisandre tells him and then Davos needs to save his arse time and time again to prevent Stanis from becoming a complete "red god/demon" puppet.
Yep, Davos is brilliant.

Shae's not an important character so people won't care I reckon. Don't get to see her assets nowadays anyway.
Daenrys has the worst storyline because it basically involves "walk in fire, get dragons, amass army". Her storyline is a complete side issue at this stage which is why Martin hasn't put too much creativity into it. IMO her 'real' story will begin when she's riding her dragons blowing away the white walkers - and pretenders to the thrones. Which kind of indicates she's got to live for a while yet.
The Mad King's brother (Maester Aemon?) is intriguing. I remember his speech a few series back where he still harbours revengeful thoughts despite being a crow. Once he finds out he has dragons...

Agreed, still think she's dead though.

Well, I agree that she's been boring, especially after the first season but the interesting thing about her character is her ancestry coming from an almost extinct influential family. And the (giant) nerd in me kind of likes the whole dragon thing. She says she won't have any kids though.. so the Targaryens would die? We'll see. Next season just has to be the one where she invades.

Yeah, he's pretty cool really and could be a good adviser probably.
How are the ratings for the show? Great I would believe?? Know it's been renewed for one more season, but seeing as it must be a very expensive show to produce you have to wonder if it will be cancelled at some point.. Still remember the shock when I heard Rome was cancelled.
Read somewhere that each show costs about $6 million to make.
Deadwood was rumored to be cancelled because of how expensive it was. It had popularity and great critical reception. It's not unthinkable that it would happen but GoT has a lot more viewers.
Looks like it's doing great.
It doesn't have nearly as big a budget as Rome though, or order HBO shows they've done in the past (Band of Brothers, Carnivale, Deadwood), there's no way in hell they'll cancel the most popular show they've had since The Sopranos and what is basically their flagship show now.
Great to hear it's doing that well.
True, but isn't there's like 7(?) b**ks and next season is supposed to represent the second half of the 3rd? Would mean quite a few seasons.. Not many shows survive past 5-6 seasons, but I guess we'll see. Would be awful if they just decided to stop cold without a proper ending at some point. Like what they did with Rome, How to make it in America etc when they were cancelled.

Dany is brilliant. She's the only altruistic character in the show and the way she's conquering lands will mean when she does finally reach Westeros she will be a force more powerful than all of the houses combined. Added to that the fact that she garners loyal followers. I love her.
As much as I love HBO, i still find it hard to forgive them for cancelling Deadwood.
Justified is the spiritual successor to Deadwood. Even has tons of the same actors too.
In what way is she altruistic that no other character is?
Deadwood and Justified worth a watch then, Eboue? Where's RNils? I enjoyed his recommendation - Carnivale. Was a shame it was cancelled. The second series suffered so much due to that spastic decision.
And yeah Game of Thrones....
And yeah Game of Thrones....
Just check out the Deadwood thread and how much people there like it. Plus it also has that Manchester United connection.
Deadwood is super, Spoons.
Deadwood definitely, one of the greatest shows ever. Justified isn't on the same level but it is very highly rated apart from spastics like Cina and PhilipB.
Excellent so that's Deadwood and Justified. Heh I watched 3 series of Heroes, I'm not as picky as Sol would lead folk to believe.
Heroes is one of the worst shows I have ever seen and I stopped after season 3. I could not keep going. Also Justified is really good. I can vouch for that.
Yeah, let's turn this into a Deadwood thread. Now that was a show.
Liked Deadwood, but wouldn't call it a classic in the way that The Wire, Sopranos, Rome are and GoT and BB will be though.
Not an entirely bad way to end. They visited all the threads to try and keep them fresh.
Also, Asha Greyjoy is a dead ringer for David Cameron. Just putting that out there.

I find Yara/Asha/David Cameron strangely attractive.
No she's not.
