I for one didnt think the show would touch on all those questions with all the new shist that has come up. So what they tried to kill Bran a while back, they actually killed Ned and they are at war. Didnt think the show would go back to that.Helmet boy and the poisoning also seemed like was in the past
ah, kept thinking she was talking like she was a prophet or something about which direction he should attack in
Tywin and Jaime know that Rob is mounting an army to face them. Why dont they grab all remaining Stark children as leverage for a future standoff or whatever? There seemed to be no one protecting Bran really
Yeah - they're a long way off with lots between them that wouldn't make that easy. I'm sure there are still some men at arms left back at Winterfell.
Look at the map. To get to Winterfell, Tywin would have to go through Robb's army and cross the Neck (an extremely narrow causeway miles long that can easily be defended by just a few men). In the history of the Starks, no one has ever successfully attacked from the south crossing the Neck. In addition, Tywin can't leave the South/West - he needs to defend it.
Yeah, there wasn't anyone really protecting Bran when the assassin came either, other than, you know, the direwolf who ripped his throat out.
Not really spoiling, more like foreshadowing
probably the book gives you a much better understanding about how far off each place is. But from the show I had no idea if the Lannisters are a 5 minute walk from Winterfell or a 4 week trek
ah ok thanks for that. Thats all i need to really, much appreciated
‘Game of Thrones’ Hooker Was a German Porn StarI also liked the scene with Tyrion and the new girl playing the "drinking game". he's always so shrewd and sure of himself when talking to other people, it was nice to see him get owned by a new random whore. I assume she'll have some impact down the road.
him: "Will you weep for me after I'm dead?"
her: "You'll be dead; how will you know?"

If you think back again to episode one Cersei says to Robert "We've been riding for a month..." after their arrival at Winterfell. Granted, that's from King's Landing, not Casterly Rock, but that gives some idea of the scale.

I applaud the creative team's inside-the-box thinking here.
Doh! I was a big Sandman fan, as well. Have no clue what American Gods is about.
just put the book on hold, i wonder when we would expect to see this, a year and a half?
I struggle to come up with a proper description. Road adventure through the US with a lot of the same fun with gods we saw in Sandman's "Season of Mists". I'd rather have a Sandman series, just 'cause I love the story so much and the HBO format is a great fit, but it would also be far more ambitious than American Gods. Hope it actually comes together.Doh! I was a big Sandman fan, as well. Have no clue what American Gods is about.

and it pisses me off that after all the lengths Ned went to in order to maintain his and his family's honor that it was for Sansa that he sacrificed himself and his honor for after she is the one who went to the damn queen and went along with th letter to Robb as well without even mentioning Arya.
I rewatched episode 3 (I think it was) and I am certain it was Jaime. Cersei kind of went off on him for doing it.'Gr00vus said:
I put that back on the back burner. I got about 50% into it and was bored to tears. Does it get better? I may go back to it after GoT.
It's interesting to me that so many people feel this way. At this point in the story, I simply see her as a 13 year old girl plucked from just about any era, with visions of marrying a prince and living happily ever after, and being dropped into a "real" story. Sure she's selfish, she's protecting her dream of marrying a prince and becoming a queen...but I know several girls around that age who probably would act very similarly at least at first...but perhaps she'll learn, like most real life girls do, that the real world is something quite different from fairy tale marriages and happily ever after. After the end of the last episode, I'd say that's more likely than ever.Maybe Sansa becomes more sympathetic or smarter as the series progresses, but in Game of Thrones she comes off as a snotty, selfish, naive, lying, disloyal, rat.
Anansi Boys was great fun too. Haven't checked out the short stories, though.
I liked Anansi better that American Gods. I would rather see the graveyard book or neverwhere adapted. American gods was probably my least fav by him. The BBC version of neverwhere suuucked.
I actually have that movie from Netflix sitting on my coffee table right now. How I am going to watch this scene without laughing my ### off, I have no clue.
Der Untergang is a great movie. not a lot of war action stuff, but how they show life in the bunker was intriguing. and #### Joseph Goebbels and his wife, seriously.
On one of the GOT message boards, a poster takes credit for creating this one and said he/she is from Spain. Which accounts for some of the oddly phrased subtitles, I guess.
Wife and I were both pretty shocked/pissed about this.I walked outside and kicked my dog
and i thought i like that song before...
