Well. The last episode was a shocker to say the least. I was still in a state of disbelief when the credits were rolling, I'd gotten so used to them and it was hard to fathom that I'd gone a whole episode without seeing any (.)(.).

What surprised me today is that game of thrones is a TV show and not some kind of musical toilets --> kind of like the children's game, musical chairs...

Yawn!!! old hat. hehe. I highly recommend that everyone read the books! They are much better although you have to imagine all the boobs . Lots of small things that they simply couldnt squeeze into the show. Though the show does do some interesting bits.

AND you dont have to wait for the next episodes untill you finish book 7

Am o/s so have not seen it but I assume the wedding scene finally happened.....I had picked it to be the final episode of last season, but they have dragged it out a lot. There are plenty more key characters to get the chop, but that is certainly the biggest cull.....

I have read all the books and that scene just seems so long ago....hard to remember sequences.....crap when I think about it, 7 books, 3rd season must only be into book 3/4, and still a few more books to go surely. It's not as though things were wrapping up in book 7.....

Has Tyrion got it on with Lady Brienne of Tarth yet.....oh sorry, no spoilers.....

Nor have I. From what I've heard its very complex, ie more complex than real world politics where main characters are killed off left right and centre while they are all having sex with each other. Not sure if I want to invest that amount of time into it.

Though everyone who reads the books or watches the show rave about it.

I'm looking forward to Breaking Bad returning.

Just watched the episode to see what the fuss is about. Why did Rob's missus get shanked in the belly? - No one knew she was preggers and in fact she wasn't even at the wedding in the book :S she stayed away, and up untill the current book we haven't heard from her (so she could be back and g. r. martin could **** the whole story up by bringing her back in the next book).

Over all it was a good episode, but you miss a lot of the internal dialoge. Especially when Catyln dies (thank god cos she was an annoying character in the book - but her 'thoughts' as she died added to the overall sequence - rather than having her stand there like a muppet mouth open untill someone slit her throat.

I recommend reading the books and then watching the corresponding eposiodes a short time later so you pick up on all the small sublte things the actors do sublte expressions, looks, reactions, locations ect.

Good way to spend travel time up north too

So many selfish thoughtless people out there. Oh I just saw it, let me take to the internet and discuss it with no warning of spoilers. I don't mean this thread, which was easy enough to avoid due to title, I mean other forums, twitter, even bloody 'news' sites where they give away snippets

I was 3 Episodes behind , and literally turned away at any mention, and st custom RES filters to block it on reddit, and it was still spoiled for me. So angry.

Despite Cherubs oops, I'm actually impressed how long this thread lasted without the contents of that episode being leaked, likewise, there was a lot of comment on FB this week that I saw but no-one made a direct reference to what happened. I guess I have to stay up late tomorrow night to download the next episode, last one of the series isn't it???

I think I must be the only person that finds this show utterly repellent. Excessive degrees of cruelty, bucket loads of despair and the same old humdrum melodramatic plot lines borrowed from just about every other serial.

The worst part is the cruelty though. Made me sick.

This show is all about the exploitative classes extracting wealth from the wealth creators, ie little people, and using it for their own ends. As such it's a good analogy how big government and big business work together in our increasingly corporate/fascist society.

"The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends," Ser Jorah told her. "It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace." He gave a shrug. "They never are."

>>>>>agree with the above....it's just like our current political situation....us little people just grind away no matter who has the steering wheel in Canberra...it's very rare for their claims of vision, desire for equality and compassion for the under-class to survive their own self interests.....
