Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

Really? In that case we'll then be able to spoil the books for people not watching the TV show.
Oh how the worm has turned.
He's a terrific character, a fella that's so vile and horrible you can't help but admire his evil ways. He's such a rubbish King though!
Jack Gleeson's a terrific young actor, it's a shame he's quitting after GoT.
What? Why.
He doesn't like celebrity culture. Who knows if he'll actually quit, but he has mentioned it.
Thought it was a strong opening episode - there were either characters I cared about or stories I cared about in every scene (well, apart from a brief Samwell Tarley apperance)... and it set the scene for the new series quite well I thought.
Some notes:
- Nice to see Jaime has seemingly reverted back to his old self - i.e. being a bit of a dick...
- Speaking of dicks - great, dick-like appearance from Big Joff... he's such a wanker, 'tis great.
- I liked the introduction of this new Martell fella... established him as a threat/hothead and showed breasts in the process.
- For someone who hates slavery - Daenerys sure loves bossing people around/having people bow to her... nice looking dragons though.
- I prefer this new non-Andy Carroll to the old blonde Andy Carroll I think... as his face is much less punchable. (and he can now be less attractive Eric Bana). Though it all begs the question, who the feck chooses to do Transporter 4 instead of Game of Thrones!?!
- I'd totally forgotten about all that Mace Windu or whatever he's called, marching on the wall stuff... so good scene with Jon Snow to refresh the memory... looking forward to that battle, if we get to see it.
- All the Ariya and Hound stuff - especially at the end, was great - I'd love to see a buddy cop movie spin off with these two. Ariya obviously played by Eddie Murphy..

A lot of the "main" characters get one scene per episode, if even, it's probably quite frustrating to shoot.
Plus he's actually a slaphead so going bare is probably preferable to wearing a great bloody rug in Tunisia for days.
I remember Emma Watson saying similar things after Harry Potter. Look at her now.
'supper would be nice'
'Supper would be nice'.
What a great line it was to. I know it seems like a bit of a throwaway statement, but what does it really say about Jamie right now? Think about that whole scene and what Jamie has just been through.
Yeah, he seems to be the only one that can properly stand up to Tywin. I reckon they'll have some great scenes together.
Tyrion's face when Joffrey has a pop at Tywin in the last ep of series 3 is brilliant. Brilliantly subtle bit of acting.
Right is this as good as people say? I'm away to start it now, but I don't want to be disappointed.
Oh, you won't be disappointed. It is certainly as good as people say.
Nope. It is better.
It seems like many posters haven't read or understood the spoiler policy. From here on in failing to spoiler ANY speculation about future events along with a DESCRIPTION of the spoiler will result in warning points.
Discussing other shows? Just stop it FFS.

Most watched HBO episode since the Sopranos finale in 07, big wonga.
People say it's the best show ever, so no, it's definitely not as good as they stay.
Still very good though.
Yes it is. You won't be unless you're a miserable twat.
You're a nord.
Doesn't get much more meta than people calling each other nerds in a GoT thread.
You're the biggest nerd on here Pogue.
Of course. Why else would I be in this thread?
Fus ro dah!
I can't keep track of all the people who are the biggest nerds on here. Whoever started that meme is a fecking idiot.
I always thought that you started it on Cina.
I've never said it before in my life.
I completely believe you.
I am the victim of a moderator conspiracy. I notice that you are now a moderator. Coincidence? I think not.

Agreed on Dario's character. This is pretty much the only feck up this show committed. The new actor feels a bit like 'Han Solo' type cunning assassin which is way more interesting than Andy Carroll posing as 'Billy bad ass'.
About Daenerys... She hates slavery indeed but in the same time she's 100% royal and bossing around is something rather natural for her bloodline. Her brother was perfect example of that kind of manners and lust for being on top of the 'pyramid'.
Jaime is a perfect negative hero that made even feel sorry for him. Hoping for more conversations between him and Joffrey. Should be hilarious.
This sorcerer speaketh the truth.
It has not been mentioned on the show, but for a not very advance society technology wise, we have most of the men running around with beards or at least stubble, but the ladies must have access to some really decent razors.
Thank god.
That was the best line in recent television memory.
