  • I know what happens in the books , its just inreresting to kill off as major a player as Joffrey in episode 2. I was expecting some dany filler and maybe a bit more getting to know oberyn and seeing the purple wedding around midseason.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Well, in reality, Joffrey is killed off in the books a bit past the halfway point of Book 3. Season 3 of the show stopped after the Red Wedding....but in the book the Red Wedding took place just before Joffrey's death.

    In other words...

  • see i would think reading those books would leave you on the same level as a young stoned-out tolkien fan that plays dungeons and dragons while his mom works a second job at burger king.

    my book reading days are over after reading 'the stand' in a 2 night guard duty booth.

    DOH!

    haven't watched the return of the series yet. got it on HBO on demand.

    but now i'll watch it knowing something great is going to happen since i hated that little fuck too.

    Well, if you haven't read the books you may not want to read this thread since it discusses things in the three books that have not yet been filmed.

    But, if you think that the death of Joffrey would be the biggest shocker of this season......you would be wrong.

    i don't take anything that seriously, especially a fantasy based tv series. it's hard enough to keep up with who are the good guys vs. the bad, let alone all their names and past harrowing events.

    dragons, kings, midgets..............it's like farmer trying to weed out the browns first pick.

    Heaven forbid anyone ever actually read something, or try to get any culture in general.

    If it's a genuine problem, maybe an eReader of some description might be worth the $99 investment?

    yeah i know chris. just because i've read my fill of books and have decided my path in life makes me devoid of culture.

    you wouldn't know culture if it hit you in your soccer loving face. red coat.

    Game of Thrones is essentially a combination of The Sopranos/Godfather, Shakespeare, Lord of the Rings and others combined, The Tudors, etc. It is its complexity that can both be the atttribute of it plus its downfall. So many characters and thread lines to follow make it good...and irritating at the same time. It is not so bad with the TV series. It is worse when you read it.

    I have been looking for books in the Large Print section of the Library. Right now I have the large print version of Master and Commander....the Capt. Jack Aubrey series by Patrick O'Brien.

    With Joeffry dead, I wonder who will become the most powerful person in Westeros?

    I also want to know what happened to the hooker that Tywin sent packing and how Cersi will react in the long run.

    Same person as before - Tywin Lannister is the most powerful person in Westeros. Cersei continues as queen regent, like she was until Joffrey came of age/got married, now that Tommen is king. Cersei still, though, answers to her dad.

  • @walterwhite said:

    Even before Joffrey died, Tywin Lannister was the most powerful person

    I also want to know what happened to the hooker that Tywin sent packing

    You will find out soon I expect where he sent her packing off to....I will just tell you, it wasn't very far.

    and how Cersi will react in the long run.

    She will want to rule if not reign. That has always been her goal.

  • Does tywin lannister in fact shit gold?

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Maybe we'll get to find out one day?

  • thought i knew (didn't read the books) but never saw the end coming of this amazing episode.

    the way people produce these books into movies now befuddles me sometimes. one week it will be only about one character and their setting, much like in the walking dead. they do the same thing. the next week you'll get a smidgen of this and a smidgen of that. we all knew that this was a momentous episode to decide the fate of the midget son, yet they spent 5 minutes on it (what a great 5 mins it was). typical tv tactic to get everyone excited and then guess what? there's only 2 episodes left.

    go fuck yourself HBO.

    To be fair, there was a momentous moment in episode 2 of this season when Joffrey died, setting up the whole Tyrion trial thing.

  • Last nights episode was pretty slow.

    It will be interesting to find out who's plotting against The Mother of Dragons.

    Cersei looks tired and powerless.

    The imp is a full time alcoholic.

    It's going to be fun watching the war between Roose Bolton and Stannis Baratheon.

  • Have you read the books?

    SPOILER ALERT:

    I do note that in season 4 of the tv series, which is based mostly on the latter half of the third book, they however include some scenes in it that come from the fifth book. In fact from the book the storyline of some of the characters has been concluded in the tv series....at least from what is written so far. The finding of the "three eyed raven" and the children of the forest was from that 5th book. Bran, Hodor etc. should now disappear from the tv show altogether at this point.

    The books follow huge story lines that occur in Dorne, and on the Iron Islands which have not yet been treated by the show.

    And the tv show has not yet shown the death of Balon Greyjoy....who in the books died before Joffrey/Tywin and even Robb Stark.

    And, in the books, Gwen of Tarth, who is looking for Sansa does find a Stark family member...but not the one she was looking for....in fact, it is one thought deceased. (remember what happened to Beric Dondarrion?)
