[Haspen]

I've started the TV show first, gave up after 5 episodes.

Now I've started the books and in a week I'm at the last 100 pages of Game of Thrones. I need to find the second book or I'm going to die :I

And fuck, someone dies almost every chapter. Or gets raped. Or poisoned. Or enslaved.

I love the books.

So Robb wants to get more men from Freys? Didn't he take all of them save a few hundreds when they crossed the Twins?

[Scelly9]

Started waching the show because I was bored. 1 night, 7 episodes, and a ridiculously high number of sex scenes later... I'm happy.

[Gamerlord]

So that was ridiculous. Looks like all the setup in the beginning of the season is kicking off into full-fledged war and political zaniness.

Spoiler: S03E05 (click to show/hide)

Jaime is seriously the best fucking guy ever. Apparently this is the point where a lot of people start really liking him, but I loved him already so this just put him over the top. Also we saw his butt.

Tywin is scary as shit. If his kids weren't so goddamn scared of him this might end up biting him in the ass, but he's pretty fucking scary. Rains of Castamere, you know.

And the fucking fire god is creeping me out. He's a conniving-ass god thing. Why the fuck is he helping out the Brotherhood Without Banners and Stannis? Their goals seem pretty opposed, though I'm not sure for how long. I feel like Stannis is going to end up with some goal besides the Iron Throne eventually, because I find it hard to believe the fire god gives a shit about that. I'm afraid of what the ultimate goal might be.

Spoiler: ADWD end/TWOW beginning (click to show/hide)

So I looked this up and kind of hit a spoiler. Apparently the Ironborn attack Slaver's Bay? Which is weird as hell because that's pretty far away. I don't know anything about the context of that, so I'm just going to have to assume Theon teams up with Danaerys.

In my mind it makes sense because Dani needs boats, and Theon needs an ally that doesn't want to kill him. And since pretty much everyone in Westeros hates him, he must head east.

If anyone replies to this train of thought, I'm not going to read it because I don't want to get spoiled. But I thought I'd leave my uninformed musings here for the book readers to laugh at.

Other note: my friend just lent me the first book, so I'm going to start reading that. I'm going to try to avoid reading past ACOK before the season ends, but I might not be able to do that.

Let me know when you catch up to speed. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it all.

[Gamerlord]

I know, right?

[Xantalos]

I know, right?

Hilarious.

Oh yea, Its Mundi! Game of Drones time!

EDIT: DAMMIT! They cut out Patches the Mad! What ever shall we do without the most fruitloops jester this side of the Trident? The fate weaving lunatic who sings of prophecy and riddles!!! WHERE THE FUCK IS PATCHFACE???

WHAT?

[Loud Whispers]

WHAT?

PATCHFACE HAS GONE THE WAY OF RETCON RAVEN

[Xantalos]

WHAT?

PATCHFACE HAS GONE THE WAY OF RETCON RAVEN

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO

[Loud Whispers]

Also rather strangely in this episode Tyrion used 'quite' with the British definition whereas ex-Maester Qyburn used it with the American definition.

*On further analysis it appears Patchface is indeed gone for the long haul. Shireen sings his song and there's no indication of him ever being present.
You knew nothing Jon Snuh, the Dothraki are not known - only Patchface did know, DOHOHOHO~


...I know I know,
Oh oh oh,
The birds have scales,
and the fish take wing,
I know I know,
Oh oh oh...

-Shireen Baratheon

[Scoops Novel]

WHAT?

PATCHFACE HAS GONE THE WAY OF RETCON RAVEN

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO

And so the show has steered well away from the future books, or they've quite possibly fucked up an arc. Either way, goodbye.

[penguinofhonor]

How important could a depressed clown be?

[Loud Whispers]

How important could a depressed clown be?

As long as Shireen picks up the prophecies stick it should be all good.

[penguinofhonor]

Oh, a prophetic depressed clown. We can have a prophetic leper princess instead, right?

[Loud Whispers]

Oh, a prophetic depressed clown. We can have a prophetic leper princess instead, right?

Has Shireen nearly drowned AND SEEN SOME SHIT?!!

I do hope they at least get some fishermen from insmouth to replace him. Drowned God gotta drown.
