I think Robert Baratheon and Jorah Mormont are both really underrated in the books, if I put my mind to it, some of the aspects of their personalities are pretty badass.
Robert: [sp]Bad father, bad king, could bear no sort of responsibility, has irrational hatred for Targaryens[/sp]
Jorah: [sp]Jorah Mormont from the beta isle[/sp]

Then they make a prequel series called Game of Thrones: Robert's Rebellion and he's a god.
No Shagga in this episode :(
[QUOTE=Carne;35401009]No Shagga in this episode :([/QUOTE]
Pretty sure I saw him walking after Tyrion when Tyrion left Joffrey.
No, that was an extra from season 1. Don't remember the name of the character.
Shagga is of the opinion that three axes are even better than two.
It doesn't look like the tribesmen will get a big part so far. I really hope they do as they were so interesting in the books.
About when in the season will the giant lady come in?
I heard she appears in episode 3 or 4.
[sp]Anyone explain to me who that lady with Stannis is in the red dress and how did the guy who took the piss out of her die?[/sp]

Still not seen it, gonna watch it tomorrow, but I can tell ya.
The woman is Mellisandre, she's a red priest of Rh'llor, like Thoros of Myr, the red priest in the first series.
[sp]The maester, I believe his name is Colwynn? (not checked me book) tries to poison her as he thinks that she is trying to poison Stannis' mind, as Mellisandre believes in the red god, Rh'llor as opposed to the Seven, and believes that Stannis is Azor Ahai[/sp]
[sp]I dont understand why the poison killed the maester, but not the priestess[/sp]
[QUOTE=Scotchair;35402859][sp]I dont understand why the poison killed the maester, but not the priestess[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]It's to show the mystery behind her - either she has powers to survive the Strangler (the type of poison IIRC) or the god, Rh'llor does.[/sp]
[Quote]Game of Thrones return didn't just live up to the hype, it far exceeded it.[/quote]
So place your bets on a two-year renewal tomorrow.
They better do [B]all[/B] the books.
I don't want this to ever end.
The producers have been filled in when it comes to major plot points, in the event of George R.R. Martin's death. Though I'm sure I read somewhere a while ago that the TV series would "take a different path" following an event in the books. They gave the event a code word, I can't remember what it was.
Just watched the first episode, and god damn does Littlefinger have a lot of swagger. He fucking rocks from side to side!
I am so pumped that this show is back.
I watched it earlier and Thought that one episode was greater than any one of the first season.
I swear Littlefinger's voice changes when we first seen him.

If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have guessed in a thousand years that was the mountain.
Same here. Not how I imagined him while reading ACoK. Isn't that the standard Kings Landing guard armor?
I miss you, Conan :(

[sp]Fucking magic[/sp]
That being said, a lot of the "magic" elements in the series can be explained away by science/psychology, such as (ACoK) [sp]Daenerys' experience in the temple of the Undying Ones: she's drugged by the warlock's shade of the evening and simply burns the temple down,[/sp][sp] wildfire is basically some volatile chemical similar to napalm or greek fire[/sp].
For all we know Maester Cressen (Stannis' maester) is simply [sp]un-nerved by Melisandre and gives her the wrong drink by accident[/sp].

Eh.. [sp]The undying scene was magic on account of the accurate visions she received and wildfire is somewhat magic because the head pyromancer dude says it's been getting stronger for no reason. (of course it's cause of the magic/dragons coming back) and the poison doesn't really need explaining.. It's fantasy, explaining it with science doesn't really work because that's not what is meant to be.[/sp]

In the books, I thought [sp]Melisandre's red necklace had sometime to do with her surviving the poison? So that's probably something magical, but still left sort of ambiguous like the rest of her "magics".[/sp] That's if I'm even remembering the books right though.
And The Maester and the Red Women drink from the same cup so I don't think she got the wrong drink..
Maybe people from Asshai have a tolerance to that stuff.
Looks what I just found in my private tracker; Game.of.Thrones.s02e02.720p.WebRip-x264
Is this something exclusive for HBO members?
