I'm enjoying David Peterson's recaps of the episodes and the linguistic notes. http://www.dothraki.com/

I'm also enjoying his work on Defiance, but lol that's a different show.

Prediction based on vague ASOS spoilers + So, I've heard a ton of hype about some event that happens in ASOS. I think it's called "Red Wedding". My guess after this episode: Tywin (or Cersei) will have Margaery killed when she's about to marry Joffrey. Sansa has to stay with Joffrey, instantly regretting not going with Littlefinger. And Olenna Tyrell, now aligned with Varys, starts to fuck up the Lannisters' shit in response.

Be patient. You'll see. And keep the fuck away from spoilers.

Spoiler	+
I heard the same event mentioned against my will. I had different theories on it, but I'm trying to avoid thinking on it until it happens on the show.

Storm of Swords spoilers Spoiler + Why did they change Sansa's "engagement" to Willas Tyrell to Loras? Wasn't part of Sansa's relucatance because it was Willas and NOT Loras? Also marrying her to a third-born son rather than the heir to Highgarden? I get Loras is more in viewers minds but idk...

Maybe they're just trying to simplify things, but that made me think of this:

Not spoilery if you saw the ep, just funny pics	+

I want more Sansa and the Tyrells time.

Should we make a non-spoiler only board?

I think that would be great.

Maybe we should have one of those for The Walking Dead too.

Just saiyan'.

I'd still like people to use spoiler tags for events in the later books and show in this thread though. I wanna read both threads and post my thoughts on the book in this one.

First Chapter

+

I'm not gonna post my thoughts after every chapter btw. I loved that there was a scene from S1 on the show in his memories. Credit to the showrunners for threading that in there. It's nice getting alternate perspectives and Jaime is one I've anticipated for a long long time. Diving into his mind is great because it's exactly how I wanted it to be. Also I like that they're not moving forward chronologically this time around. I prefer it that way really. With the older books I always knew one chapter was going to follow another and when I heard about some event third-hand it was disappointing to think that I'd get no more insight on it. Though exploration through memory is a good bridge over to that. Good stuff. Second chapter is Catelyn sigh. I will press on regardless in the hopes that she finally catches a heap of shit for fucking things up. It would be a change.

Yeah avoid spoilers at all cost as Grim said.

Great great episode, dat ending, holy shit. Loved the way Dany started talking Valyrian and Kraznys suddenly realized she knew everything he said to her (:. Tywin and Cersei, great stuff, like Boc said I cannot wait for Tywin and Margaery showdown, I wonder who'll truly be able to control Joff.

Craster's keep was great, I was so happy Craster went down, but sad about Mormont. :( Jaime stuff was pretty good, I expect it to pick up real soon, but man you really start to feel for him (somewhat, not just yet).

Can't wait until next week. :D

Why don't we just stop using spoiler tags for stuff that has already happened on the show. Makes no sense to use them. People are dumb for catching up on this thread without seeing the episodes anyway

Spoiler tags should only be used for the book nerds, and they should label them for each other

Also BOC, the cleaning boy killed the captors and helped Theon in order to gain his trust and figure out from him whether or not he killed the Stark boys. That's what I figured anyway
