Does anyone know how long this season is?

Is it the same 10 eps?

DarkMaster · 04-10-2012, 04:33 PM

10 episodes, yea. Confirmed season 3 too.

Soooo... this past episode has me wondering...

Why did the priestess of "light" shit a black could out of her vagina?

No actual spoilers please, I just found that part to be VERY interesting.

She did say something before about shadows being the servants of light and the children of fire.

Ok, that makes more sense then. I'm curious to see where the first real fantasy element (besides baby dragons) takes the story.

I've been waiting patiently to see that moment no screen, and holy shit did it deliver.

Shadows are the servants of light, exactly. And also if you remember, Stannis had sex with her and this is the offspring. Basically the dragons returning to the world is bringing rise to magic, which was long forgotten to be real, just like the "Others" beyond the Wall that no one wants to believe exist. Ice and Fire!

I have a bunch of dumb friends who haven't read the book and spoiled themselves online to find out what purpose the shadow baby has. Don't do this to yourself...

I had to convince my wife to not look anything up. Can't wait for the next episode.

Every time I read your comments, I realize how little I still remember from the books. But I do remember more and more magic coming into the world.

This is the only show I refuse to ever visit the IMDbs forums for.

I don't plan on spoiler-ing myself on what the whole smoke monster is about.
Although that was one long queef she had going there.

But I'm 100% assuming it's just going to lay waste to the entire army. Just spread out like a fog and choke them all or something crazy like that. Maybe something more epic. Some type of unpredictable explosion would be neat.

Angrist · 04-23-2012, 07:19 PM

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh I remember now!!!!

Haha, I've had this vague picture in my head ever since you wrote about that scene... Suddenly I remembered what that picture is.

But I don't think it's going to happen in the next episodes? Hm I could be confusing things here.... Oh well, whatever.

Just another reason to think gingers are evil.

Spawning.. shadow children!

Angrist · 04-24-2012, 01:46 PM

The actress is Dutch by the way. And she's not a natural ginger.

Swan · 04-24-2012, 11:53 PM

Honestly I preferred how it was handled in the book. Don't even think about reading this if you haven't read the books.

Basically I liked how in the book when the shadow first shows up and kills Renly, it is the first time really hearing about it. You figure it is Stannis and has something to do with Red Woman but you don't know for sure. Kind of left you guessing more. Opposed to seeing it first then guess what it will do. I honestly think having Renly murdered by a never before seen shadow would have been so much more bad asss

Just wanted to add that its also been confirmed that season 3 will not contain the whole of A Storm of Swords. The shows frontrunners have been quoted as saying that they don't see each season as an adaptation of each book, but rather each season is simply a part of their adaptation of the whole "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.
