This is my best thread title.

I'm actually going to wait the extra week before I watch episode 7. Mostly because I find the prospect of waiting two weeks before my next fix to be unpalatable.

This woman needs to never have a job as a journalist / reviewer again.

AKA: "She criticised a show I like! Jihad! Jihad!" 

You did read it, right? I wouldn't've minded if she'd criticised the sex scenes detracting from the plot or some crap like that, but she was just like, "LOL THE ENTIRE GENRE OF FANTASY IS BELOW ME LET ME TAKE A MASSIVE SHIT ON IT." (I'm sure you'd know about that, being Chairman Poo and all. :p)

It's like when Yahtzee used to bitch about playing games on the Wii. It wasn't funny, the jokes were never clever and he's got significantly better since he's stopped talking about it. It was an irrelevant side topic to the conversation at hand.

Shit son, Viserys got straight Punk'd by Khal Conan. I wish I were reading more frequently and quickly so I'd catch up, but I don't see that happening until Season 2 at least for me

[Darvi]

So Vis finally got crowned?

[Willfor]

Yep.

Also, the actor has done an interview on the scene, and the character in general. Even if you hate the character, the performance of the character was very well done.

I'm definitely hunting down episode 1 tomorrow for watching. Has it turned out well so far?

Absolutely. The biggest complaints I've heard are that there is too much sex (arguable, but I'd agree it's focused on way more than it should be, HBO's fault no doubt) and that certain peoples hair colors are slightly off.

and that certain peoples hair colors are slightly off.

I don't know if this is true, but it'd be an incredibly good sign if it is.

[Grakelin]

It's actually a more valid point than it seems, because the major conspiracy of the first book (and, thusly, the first season) boils down to hair colour.

[IronyOwl]

Huh. Good point.

[Tilla]

It would be more true if they were further off the hair color. As is, the blondes are still vaguely blonde and so forth

I rather enjoy these.

So, one of the rare shows that got me involved so quickly and easily, then they go and do what episode 9 did, i mean, it's not even the season finale for fucks sake and you go and do that shit.Right now there is a few charachters that i liked as much as him, and they better let that one live, even if it is trough demonic powers or something, and i want to see him rip out Joffreys troath like he did with that other dude that dissed him.

[Darvi]

<_<

>_>

... I just don't have the heart...

[Willfor]

I'm fairly certain that anyone who has read the books has been waiting for people's reactions to this week's episode. Myself included. It's basically the point where a number of people have simply put down the book.

I will say that if you stick around, you're likely in for more heartache. But it shits on the just and the unjust alike in this series, so the people you hate aren't wearing plot armor either. No one is wearing plot armor here. That tends to be one of the selling points for the books.
