He is currently writing episode 9 (of 10) for next season, BlackwaterI noticed that this weeks episode is written by Martin - the only one I believe. Seems like an impossible task to cover the entire first book in just 10 episodes, but I think they've done a pretty good job of it.There are only THREE episodes left?
Sun. nights at 9, with a re-broadcast at 11. No idea on the OnDemand aspect.
Sunday's at 9 p.m. ET for the premiere each week. I think they rerun it at 11 p.m. and I don't know after that. Don't know the on-demand schedule.
Ink it's usually 24 hours, but I'm not sure. They might be on HBOgo right after it airs though.
I retain some small hope that they will make the first episode of each season 2 hours (they should have in this season) and add an episode for 12 hours of Clash of Kings.
Definitely takes the title of "most knitpicky". It'll take something awfully obscure or part of the background to top this.One thing that keeps bothering me was in Drago's rant.... after using terms obviously meant to convey a 'barbarian' like people with little understanding or words in their language for things like 'ships' or 'ocean/sea' he used the term 'iron suits'..... really? They have a term for suits in that culture? I know it is knit picky but it makes me flinch every time. Iron skins or iron clothing or something else would have been much better. I just can not see that culture having a term for 'suits'. And it bothers me.

It likely would not bother me if they did not make so much effort in showing the limitations of the language versus that of the seven kingdoms. What suit are they use to? A 3 piece one?Definitely takes the title of "most knitpicky".

And yes, I acknowledge that it is knit picky. But it still bothers me.
I prefer the tuxedo of armor for classier castle storming
In episode 3 Rakharo refers to armor as "steel dresses" and Mormont corrects him that it is a suit of armor. This is broken Common/Dothraki that they are learning.'Chadstroma said:One thing that keeps bothering me was in Drago's rant.... after using terms obviously meant to convey a 'barbarian' like people with little understanding or words in their language for things like 'ships' or 'ocean/sea' he used the term 'iron suits'..... really?

It was just painfully obvious mustache twirling stuff. I'm not powerful like the Starks, so I have to get inside their head in order to get what I want. Mwah hah hah. I thought it was painful, particularly since the "sex scene as exposition device" has become such a cliche in the show.
Relax, gay guy.
It is also called a ship but in the dathraki (sp?) tongue there is no word for ship because they are a plains horse based people and hence they use 'wooden horse' as their term for ship. And thus when the translation is on the screen, it reads 'wooden horse'. It does not matter what it is called in one language if there is not an equivalent word in the other language- you are stuck trying to translate the thought in other ways. My issue is that 'suit' seems to be a very odd word to be part of the dathraki (again sp?) language when something like ship is not.'Dan Gladden said:
A whole monologue about how he got worked by the Starks combined with a lesson on how to #### people. Gee I wonder what happens next?

loal
In the book we know Littlefinger is pissed at The Starks because of his character development. The TV side took that scene to have him express that anger so that we understood what happened at the end of the episode

Two episodes left in the season.

That was pretty true to what happened in the first book. After that I cant say because Im only on Page 50 of book 2
The third book was 1000 pages (well 992 anyway). He said on his blog that the 5th book will be the largest in the series, so it'll be over 1000 pages. If he had combined the 4th and 5th it would've been 1600 pages or so. However even given that, I don't believe that was the real reason for the break. I think he had writer's block on how to traverse the stories of some of the characters and the pressure to put anything out was building, so he went with the ones he had.
From the links I've read, the 5th book is around 1500 pages and will be published next month.
Things I'm not pleased with in the HBO adaptation:
). He simply doesn't look or feel mean enough to me.
Things I'm not pleased with in the HBO adaptation:1) The hound - Not at all what I imagined.2) Gotta say Bran isn't displaying the character he's given in the book. Dunno if it's the actor, or the writing, or just not his turn to be the focus yet, but not living up to expectations there.There are more, but on the whole, it's a VERY good adaptation of a very complicated, deep and expansive book, and I'm enjoying the episodes, although I hate waiting week after week for the next installment. Not a patient episode watcher but I'll stick with it.
