Game of Thrones Season 2

[DarkMaster]

The changes from the books are, in my opinion, done really damn well. Especially for Dany because her story sucks big time in the second book and really needed some sprucing up. I'd rather not be bored watching the show just so some book readers can be happy that it stays truer to the source, and I AM a book reader. The books are mostly old, they're great, I enjoy them, and I enjoy the hell out this show, possibly be even more so far. I look for places on other forums to discuss the show, and they're filled with the scum of the internet.

Anyways, I won't mention the books anymore, I'm fine with that. This episode was dope, can't wait to see the House of the Undying, and many more things coming. Sad that it's almost over, and at the same time excited as hell for next season, depsite how far away it is.

[DarkMaster]

Definitely a calm before the storm episode, checking in with every character and major plot point before their climax. Damn only 2 episodes left.

[BreakABone]

Think best ep of the series to date.

[DarkMaster]

unbelievably good episode, surpassed all my expectations. From start to finish I was blown away. One more episode left..... I can't believe we're already pretty much done and have to wait another year.

[Vampyr]

Illyn Payne creeps me out.

[Typhoid]

That was the most badass episode of pure badassness that has existed to date.

"There are brave men outside of those gates. Let's go kill them!"

[ZebraRampage]

Those White Walkers were something eh? I can't wait for a Storm of Swords.

[Typhoid]

Maybe if I post someone will disagree with me.

HORRILBE EPISODE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS SHIT.
THOSE WHITE WALKERS LOOKED TERRIBLE, AND WHAT THE FUCK.
ZOMBIES? REALLY?
WHERED THE REALISM GO.
THIS SHOW FUCKING BLOWS.
WORST THING EVER CREATED IN EXISTENCE.
IM SO GLAD I DONT HAVE TO WATCH THIS SHOW FOR A WHILE.
FUCK ITS SO BAD.
THE ACTING IS TERRIBLE.
THE WRITING IS HORRIBLE.
THE SCENES ARE POORLY SCRIPTED AND ACTED.
NONE OF THE CHARACTERS ARE LIKE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE.
THE MIDGET ISNT SHORT ENOUGH.
THE HOUND ISNT TALL ENOUGH.
THE WILDFIRE WASNT WILD ENOUGH.
THE WHITE WALKERS WERENT WALKING NOR WERE THEY WHITE.|
THEY WERE TRUDGING, AND FLESH-TONED.
what the fuck is this shit..

[Angrist]

I think there's actually a difference between real White Walkers and the Zombies they create.

But I'm not sure, it's been a while.

Didn't embed in case someone didn't watch the final ep but it explains each one.

Hah Typh, not sure how serious you are, but they had to conclude all the other storylines in order to setup for the next season. The first season was much better though because everything was simpler because most of the characters were close together.

Also, as Teuthida showed, the White Walkers are those guys with the blue swords and all white. They summon the dead as wights, so that's why they looked like zombies.

There isn't as much realism now because magic is just starting to become more prevalent. And if you think the characters are nothing what you thought they'd be then you better just stop watching for good because this is just the beginning.


I didn't like how at the end of this last episode that they kept jumping between different storylines after only a shot or two. Especially with the Wildings part and the House of the Undying part.


Is there a place that we can discuss the books separately from the show? I guess the general forum would work.

0%.

I love the show, and I think it's great. My favourite show by far right now.
I'm just typically a response-magnet, so I was trying to garner more posts.
Get the ball rolling, you know. Someone disagrees with something I say (Someone is bound to try prove 'my opinion' moot), say what they liked about the show, other people would hopefully comment on how my opinion is wrong, and then the thread would be active again with talk of current events on the show, actors, writing, progress, hopeful direction of the show etc.

I agree. It seemed pretty damn sporadic. But I imagine it's hard to tie up lose ends when you don't have another week, and you want to leave several hooks for viewers to dwell on over the break.

Yes!

Yes!

[Dylflon]

Lol, wild fire wasn't wild enough.

I actually did complain that Gregor "The Mountain That Rides" Clegane wasn't tall enough back in the first season.

Then I saw him do a couple more things.

I guess he's pretty tall...


Finale was pretty good. Tyrion's face scar made him look kinda like William H Macy for some reason...

I thought it was funny that they gave the invented prostitute characters (Roz?) some more stuff to do.

Pumped for next season. Book readers can assume what the next season's cliff hanger will be if they're breaking ASOS into two seasons. But don't you dare talk about it, you charlatans.

[DarkMaster]

Is it April 2013 yet? Bleh, long ass waits, hate em. I'm going to read through the books again to pass the time. Was very excited when I saw a casting list for new characters next season. They really are going to have everyone covered, god damn.

Now it's April 2013. woot
