"Game of Thrones" - HBO Series Coming in 2011

[Rainbow Dash]

Gotcha.

Here, Bob, for you (and anyone else who can't handle the names),  cheat sheet:

Needs to be added...

[Rainbow Dash]

what can I say, I'm bored.

[Lemming Howard]

I don't think I'm giving anything away by asking did anyone else wish that Jamie Lanister took a moment to lower his head to wash away some of the shit during that whole scene in the bath?  Oh yeah and how cool was that flaming sword?

[Bob]

I think the plan for bathing was if you faint, you get clean.

And, I guess the reason for the sword coming on fire from rubbing you blood on it made more sense if you read the books.  For me, it was just cool looking, but not much of a weapon.

[Lemming Howard]

Not much of a weapon,  but it wasn't CGI'd as far as could tell and flaming swords are a staple in sword and sorcery stories as far back as I can remember.  Just plain cool.

[MUD CRICKET]

I don't think I'm giving anything away by asking did anyone else wish that Jamie Lanister took a moment to lower his head to wash away some of the shit during that whole scene in the bath?  Oh yeah and how cool was that flaming sword?

haha yes.

the flaming sword was cool.  wasnt klegane freaked out by the fire during the assault on Kings Landing?  Maybe he has a thing with fire?

[Kete]

That's how he got the scar on his face.

[Bob]

Well, I am guessing the only wound you can have with a sword if you get stabbed with it, and fire would not help with that.  A fast moving sword that just touches you would not actaully catch you on fire.  I am guessing it was just to scare the person.......who ended up killing you anyway.

So he would have been better off with a bigger sword.

[Bob]

He should have wished out a Glock .45................just saying.

It still was cool looking and made for a well shot action scene on HBO.

Maybe he could give that guy a flaming birthday cake to mess him up some more.

[Tripe]

So he would have been better off with a bigger sword.

This isn't true in almost any situation fictional or real.

[Bob]

That would help out people (like me) who get puzzled just watching the lands they flash over during the opening credits.  And we see some guys for just a few seconds every few weeks, you have no clue who they are or how they are tied in with other characters.

[Rainbow Dash]

Tub scene and the final scene were excellent.

Almost made up for those stupid, stupid baby cylinder things.  Just looked so out of place in this series.

[Ortega]

Well, the "Alien" baby-tubes notwithstanding, i loved the added scenes with Stannis.  It showed a more human side of Stannis that you really don't see in the books, especially with Princess Shireen(Weird-Facial-Scar Girl for you nomenclatured-impaired types). 

One thing i like about the show is even after reading the books, and knowing where the narrative is leading, it still entertains.  The bathroom scene with Jamie and Brienne is an example.  The scene is almost word for word from the book, yet the actors add that punch to set it over the top. 

From the looks of it, it seems we will probably have the "colored nuptials" in this season after all.  Happy times for all.....

One more thing:  I missed mentioning it from the episode before, but i thought they knocked the Great Sept of Baelor out of the park.  Kinda of a Pantheon theme to it, but i still thought it was pretty impressive.

[Rainbow Dash]

Yeah, sort of Pantheon-ish I guess. I thought more of St. Peter's.  But it was cool.

I read a theory about her test tube babies:
Apparently they've written out Edric Storm, so in order to have "King's blood" for Melisandre to use, they might use the Mountain Dew babies instead.

I suspect they're going to be used in place of the three leeches when Stannis wishes for the deaths of Jeoffrey, Beylon, and Robb.

Still stupid though.

[Rainbow Dash]

Lena is still one of the weakest cast members for me.  She just doesn't carry herself the way Cersei does in my head in the books.  She's not bad, I just think she's looks weak, especially when paired in scenes with Tyrion and/or Tywin.

And a little something for the book readers
DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVE NOT READ A STORM OF SWORDS
