Only because you already read the books so all these facial expressions had meaning for you.

Uh, they were pretty clear expressions and easily understood just from what had already happened on the show.

You need to have empathy to understand people's expressions. Siegy is a psychopath so he doesn't get it.

He really doesn't fit the criteria for that.  It would be hard to diagnose that sort of thing by reading someone's posts.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Maybe he just wasn't paying attention.

Season One ended on a downer.

The fuck it didn't. It ended with "King in the North", the Night's Watch expedition setting off and, most importantly of all, the birth of dragons, probably the most uplifting/elating scene in the entire show.

Right. For some reason I thought the beheading was the finale, but yeah, it wasn't.

It's always like this. Episode 9 of every season is the "shit hits the fan episode". Ned gets beheaded. Stannis gets obliterated at Black Water. Red Wedding happens.

Episode 10, the finale, always sets up more cliffhangers and gives the viewers hope in a reversal of fate. I predict this one will show Berric Dondarrion finding something in the river.

That quickly? Yes, it could happen. Hopefully viewers will put 2 & 2 together.

Oh you're just bursting with empathy, aren't you?  :rolleyes:

I am kind of torn about whether to recommend to someone to read the book or watch the series first.

Normally, I would almost always recommend reading the book first, but some of the "reveals" in GoT are so good on screen, I don't know if they have the same impact reading them, and those reveals alone might be worth watching the show first.

I've been advising people to watch one season, then read the book for that season between the seasons, then watch a second season and then read the second book.
