Tywin Arryn, Knight of the Kingsguard, at your service.

Well, that's a somewhat unlikely sounding combo...

Cercei Royce, Knight of the Kingsguard.

Uuugh no!

Game of Thrones actors in their downtime. Some pictures there are hilarious. Wish I knew when Jaime/Theon/Brienne/Ramsey were in Lavery's! That's only 2 mins away from my workplace!!

Best pic has to be this

And I just have to say something about this picture too

What. A. Legend!

Just noticed that looks like the set-up for the NYC exhibit. Then I found out too late that those three plus Jon, Arya, and Ygritte were at the opening of that exhibit.

Including Dany, I would've met 7 characters that Thursday.

SEVEN HELLS!!!

Forget the Others. Forget the War of the Five Kings. Forget about Jamie losing his hand. What I want to know is...... what did Podrick do with the whores that they give him back the gold Tyrion paid for?

Tuffty · « **Reply #346 on:** May 03, 2013, 10:30:33 PM »

Brace yourselves. Podrick is coming.

Random question: What do they call the language used in most of Westeros? In our universe it's English, yes, but it can't be English there, right? I tried googling it but any search result with Game of Thrones and language, the results are all related to Dothraki or Valyrian.

Just curious.

^ The Common Tongue?

Tuffty · « **Reply #350 on:** May 05, 2013, 10:19:26 PM »

^ Sounds right.

Also, this is crazy. The one on the left is Caligula, a ruler known for his cruelty, extravagance and sexual perversity, making him an insane tyrant. On the right is Joffery.

Now that my laptop is back and working again, I sat down and watched ep.1-5 of S3 in one sitting.
It's so gooooood. And I bow to Diane Rigg, how could I ever doubt her Queen of Thorns.
The last time I felt so good watching GoT was when I watched S1 in two marathon sittings.
I think I'll do the same for the second half of the season... at least that's the plan, let's see if I can hold out five weeks longer.
But I have so many other shows to catch up, that shouldn't be a problem.

Tuffty · « **Reply #352 on:** May 12, 2013, 03:14:31 PM »

Ros noooo! Now we won't see this foxy lady again. Never had a problem with the Ros character like other book fans did.

One friend I follow on Twitter, who's also read the books, was going crazy over the latest episode, saying how the TV show is essentially fanfic at this point. Which I disagree with completely. The show's making some shortcuts e.g. giving Edric Storm's role to Gendry and some additions e.g. Theon's torture but it's all in service to making a better TV show. And it works, the show can't get bogged down with that many characters like in the books, it's too much already. I did think the last scene with Jon and Ygritte making out over a CGI vista was a bit cheesy. But it was saved by that scene between Tywin and Olenna and Theon's torture scene. The actor they've got for Ramsay is particularly good, I jumped a little bit out of my chair when he leapt up too. And how hard was that scene to watch?

Calling back to the episode before that, does anyone think the scene where Jon and Ygritte got into the bath together maybe should have come before their love scene? I mean Jon's doing that thing with his tongue down there at first where Ygritte probably hadn't washed for a long time. Brave man.

Well. Well, well, well. That scene finally happened. The one scene that all book fans were waiting for. Curious to know how hipsters here found it. Did it live up to your expectations or did it not? I was curiously excited but at the same time felt sick to my stomach. So in essence, yeah they nailed it. If I have to nitpick, then it's that the cutting of the throats looked pretty fake (obviously) but then that is nitpicking.

Not sure which was more gut wrenching...Talisa getting stabbed or knowing other minor characters were also involved in the massacre like Jon Umber.

I have a lot of catching up to do. Stuck watching other shows (Doctor Who, Orphan Black, Attack on Titan for example) that I failed to keep up with this season. So to make up for my mistakes, I am going to watch the episodes that I've missed this week before the final episode airs this Sunday.

EDIT #1: Ros no!!! Damn you Joffrey!!!
EDIT #2: By the Gods, Tyrion and Sansa's wedding was unbearable to watch.

I read the books etc, but ain't nothing prepared me for this. What the FUCK.

I get a strange sort of twisted glee of watching reaction vids to it. Wonder how it feels for non-book readers who kept themselves free from spoilers for so long? The one thing they didn't include, but which I can see happening next week is, Robb being decapitated and Greywind's head sewn on. Maybe it's a bit much for the TV show. But I say push those buttons!

How does anyone think the season will end then? At what point in the book does it stop? No spoilers please!

My other side hobby from watching the reaction vids is the vine vids that cast members put up. Like:

Hart · « **Reply #358 on:** June 05, 2013, 09:17:18 AM »

Finally watched episode 9. All I got to say is....

Holy

Shit

Once I heard The Rains of Castamere start to play, I started getting shivers.

Talisa/Jayne noooooooo

I too nitpick at the fake throat cutting.

Too make it complete they should cut of Grey Wind's head and attach it to Robb's headless corpse.

Now excuse me while I watch in glee at the reaction vids.

I'm only watching the show, and have no idea what is going to happen.
I'm guessing I was less surprised

more stunned

when watching that scene.

Those Starks really can't get a break.
I'll help you with your revolt. -> Head. chopped. off. in public.
Yay. Happy cheery wedding! -> stab stab stab stab stab

What I've learned so far from the show is "To stay alive? If you think it is the right thing to do, do the exact friggin' opposite"
