[QUOTE=thrawn2787;35406124]stevens was a good gregor and looking at pictures of him he's so fucking huge. why did he leave?[/QUOTE] They just decided to replace him as far as I know. I don't think a real reason was ever given.
Scheduling conflicts most likely. It's a shame as he was perfect for the role. Considering how many books there are and how long it will take for each to be adapted onto TV, I'm wondering if any of the major characters will have to be replaced in the future.
[QUOTE=CoolCorky;35405057]For all we know Maester Cressen (Stannis' maester) is simply [sp]un-nerved by Melisandre and gives her the wrong drink by accident[/sp].[/QUOTE] They drank from the same cup I personally believe that there is no other explanation than magic for some events (which should be pretty obvious) but you're right, many things are simply misunderstood as magic. [sp]And for the record, I don't believe "the great Other" or R'hllor exist either. There's only magic that manifests in different ways, and people interpret it as there being gods of different alignments.[/sp]

[QUOTE=lemoncurry;35409819]I think Conan had to take up a larger role in the new Hobbit movie.[/QUOTE] A bunch of pages back someone linked a blogpost in which Conan wrote the reason for not playing in the second season. [editline]3rd April 2012[/editline] [url=http://facepunch.com/threads/1160595?p=35162230&viewfull=1#post35162230]Found it[/url] Under the header "The Point and The Answer:"
The 1st episode promised good things, the rest of the series should be epic as fuck, the book was exciting enough! major series/book 2 spoiler (duh) [sp]Personally I can't wait for Renly's death, I've been holding that one in for so long...[/sp]
Legit 720p version of ep 2 found on familiar pirate, demon and bay sites. WINTER IS COMING EVEN QUICKER!
wait what? is it on any of hbo's sites LEGITIMATELY? i should have access to all of them doesnt look like it, guess maybe they uploaded it to a server or something and someone pulled it off. that or maybe it was sent to the media and they leaked it (since didn't they review the first few episodes already)? [editline]3rd April 2012[/editline] did they recast gendry too? god damn stop recasting people

No, Gendry just has a mustache now.
Season two started out just as nicely as Season one. HBO never fails to deliver great series. (The Wire, Oz, Generation Kill..) Also, it is very tempting to just wait until all the episodes are out so I could just rage through multiple episodes in a row.

Also, it is very tempting to just wait until all the episodes are out so I could just rage through multiple episodes in a row.[/QUOTE] I wanted to do the same thing; wait until they were all released and watch them all in a sitting. But then it was Sunday and I found myself sitting on the couch with my GF and 3 other friends watching it.
Ratings are in and we have a winner: [QUOTE]Thrones returned to 3.9 million viewers. That’s up a massive 74 percent from its series debut last year. It also greatly improves upon the show’s previous all-time high, which was just over 3 million viewers. Including all three Sunday airings, the show delivered 6.3 million viewers. The numbers mean a third season renewal is pretty much guaranteed. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=superdeluxe;35412790]Ratings are in and we have a winner:[/QUOTE] This pleases me greatly.
Just finished watching the second episode. It's pretty good, plenty of sex scenes to avoid watching with your parents.
[QUOTE=squids_eye;35412866]Just finished watching the second episode. It's pretty good, plenty of sex scenes to avoid watching with your parents.[/QUOTE] I think this is the wrong decision by HBO. Hopefully it does not impact the ratings too much. (letting Europe release these episodes a week early.)
Episode 7 of season 1 was also released a week early.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35413073]Episode 7 of season 1 was also released a week early.[/QUOTE] True, but that was a one week thing, not every week. [editline]3rd April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=benzi2k7;35413190][img]http://i.imgur.com/6K3UT.gif[/img] wanna nuzzle dat wolf[/QUOTE] loved licking his chops!

[QUOTE=benzi2k7;35413279]This is a one week thing.[/QUOTE] It is? Please let the owner of WIC.net know, because he was kind of freaking out.
