Game of Thrones begins....

[Josquius]

So you did, hadnt' read that far back.

I agree Berk.  The other reason I didnt like it, similar to what you have already said, is that in the books Tyrion is very aware that Bronn is loyal to his gold not to him.  Why would Tyrion put Bronn in a position which would lessen Bronn's need for Tyrion's gold?

I dunno. He certainly started that way but it seemed as time went on that Tyrion was beginning to believe there was a friendship forming between them....well. Maybe friendship is too strong a word. But that he believed Bronn to be his man to some extent, as well as his gold's man. That he believed Bronn knew the future was bright with him.

Anyway, it seems that Olenna only appears in the Storm of Swords, so we won't know until they do the casting for the third season (or the fourth). 

And the cranky old bats eligible to play her out there are not getting younger.

We are coming up to one of the truly dark portions of the series.  I will be interested to see how dark the producers decide to go.

Sure thing, though I think they did alright with the killing of that boy.

edit: changed Sue to Sure.

Taking into account that the 1st episode already ended up with a bout of mass infanticide....

Last night's episode was definitely the best of the season thus far and gives me high hopes for the rest.  Next week is more Stannis. 

Next week is when the shit will hit the fan.

Here's the preview:

Daenerys arrives at Quarth, Renly and Stannis meet, Arya arrives at Harrenhall, Davos and Melissandre under Storm's End, hopefully the beginning of the Sansa and the Hound's storyline...

[Martinus]

They have to kill at least one kid per episode. It's in the HBO contract.

Agree that the show has implied a lot of deaths, and even shown a youth being messily killed, but what is to come is lots of grotesque torture-just-for-fun, the widespread annihilation of villages and travelers, and then, of course, the fun and games in Herrenhall itself.  I just remember this as one of the bleakest story lines in the series to date.  I just wonder how much of that the producers will want to show.  My guess is: not much.

[Grallon]

Better episode than last week.  Tirion was very well casted.  And Loras of course

I actually wonder if a lot of people will be turned off by the [spoiler] Red Wedding, sack of Winterfall, and destruction of the Starks[/spoiler].  It's not what many people are expecting.

[spoiler]That's why it is probably a good idea to spell out non-Stark characters, who start the book series somewhat shallow (most notable is  Jamie). Everyone who haven't read the books must be certain that this series is mostly about the Starks. Which is, but not the way they now probably think. [/spoiler]

[Martinus]

I think the show actually has been making a better job than the books when it comes to not making it about the Starks, imo.

[spoiler]And sack of Winterfell is already planned for on the show - I can't see how anyone can not see that coming.[/spoiler]

[Josquius]

I wonder if the series will do what the books did and lead everyone to believe Bran is dead for a little while.

Probably an end of episode cliffhanger.

Use spoiler tags, you gits. There's people who haven't read the books in here.

That's why i started this, but it didn't catch on.
