Up to book 5 now, I have no idea how book 4 and 5 are going to be made into the tv series. I don't even know how I'm going to survive until book 6 comes out either.

Margaery is also so much hotter than I viewed her in the books.
Hopefully that's because she's 14 in the books and 30 (Actress age) in the show.
[QUOTE=CoolCorky;35626667]And also she's like 18 years older than she should be[/QUOTE]
They aged her up so they could make it look like she was actually pulling the strings and the mastermind the whole Tyrell storyline.

Ratings are in for Game of THrones:

[QUOTE]Spring tends to sap the ratings strength of just about every show, but some -- including HBO's "Game of Thrones" -- are holding up better than most.
After kicking off its second season with a series-best 3.8 million viewers, the lavish fantasy epic proceeded to deliver about the same number of viewers with each of its three subsequent episodes, according to Nielsen estimates.
This in itself is impressive, as daylight-saving time, school breaks and other spring distractions conspire to drag down the ratings for even TV's biggest hits at this time of year. Also, most shows tend to see ratings declines following their premieres, no matter what time of year.
But for the week of April 9-15, "Game of Thrones" also achieved another impressive feat as it stood as cable's top-rated scripted primetime program for the week in both total viewers and adults 18-49 (see chart, left), topping the likes of FX's "Justified" and AMC's "Mad Men." This despite the fact that HBO is available in roughly 30 million homes, compared with basic-cable biggies like USA and TNT that are available in 100 million or more homes.
HBO isn't necessarily in the ratings game -- the pay cabler cares more about supplying its subscribers with satisfying programming than how a program draws on any single night -- but it can use the initial telecast of any show to garner interest. And "Throne's" average audience for the Sunday 9 p.m. airings this spring (3.8 million) is up about 50% from a year ago (2.3 million).
Looking only at HBO homes, "Thrones" is averaging an 8.3 rating, meaning roughly one in 12 subscriber households is watching the premiere telecast. This is about what TV's most-watched Sunday series, "60 Minutes," was averaging this month.
Of course, nearly everybody who watches the CBS newsmag does so on Sunday night, while HBO gives fans of "Thrones" numerous chances to watch the show every week. If you count the dozen replays on HBO (including two immediately following the initial Sunday telecast) and the network's on-demand service, the show's gross audience surpasses 11 million, compared with 9.3 million for its rookie season, HBO says.[/QUOTE]
[sp]It's her pops in charge of the Tyrell plot though[/sp]

Tonight's episode... I'm very curious as to how they tackled it.
So where do people find those HD live streams?
I'm just hoping someone posts a link before the episode starts and not a couple of minutes into it :/

aww what a cute little [sp]shadow baby[/sp] <3
Well that scene at the end wasn't any less weird than I imagined it would be...
wat
Alright, so, the changes they've made from the book so far have all been pretty good. [sp]Harrenhal[/sp] looks incredible, too, and introducing [sp]Robb's romance and the Shadow Child[/sp] this early is awesome.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't [sp]Robb's future wife though?[/sp] Also [sp]I thought Harrenhal was supposed to have huge walls, not broken ones. Just run down towers[/sp]
Anyone else think this episode jumped a bit too much back and forth? Scene 1, Scene 2, Scene 3, Scene 1, Scene 4, Scene 2, Scene 3 etc
oh i guess they renamed a characters so arachnidus is right about [sp]the love interest[/sp]
turns out the actress that plays her is the granddaughter of charlie chaplin
Oh god what the hell what the fuck.
Also, they changed my opinion of Tywin from a dick tyrant to a clever ruler, totally less against team Tywin now.
Also, fucking Joffrey what the fuck.
yeah speaking of joff what exactly did he have those two girls do?
and tywin can still end up being a dick. he kind of showed up and said "stop killing for fun and make some slaves"

[sp]I don't know whether it was to defy Tyrion or just because he's fucking insane, but he had the two whores go down on each other, then the one from Winterfell's brothel beat the other and take her to Tyrion's chamber.[/sp]
so yeah pretty fucked
this being after [sp]the famed fucking with Sansa in public scene[/sp].
New Gregor more like "The Beanpole that Rides" compared to old Gregor.
I don't like the fire priestess.
[sp]She is an utter bitch and wants to kill Renly who is awesome. So I do not blame you.[/sp]
dat [sp]shadow baby[/sp]
Not really big on the Simpsons, but found this to funny none the less.
