Game of Thrones!

Thanks Noelle. I've been looking for somewhere to talk about it. My partner has read the books and I don't trust him not to let something slip. Also I've been looking for somewhere more girly where I can comment on how much I'm liking Jaime at the moment without getting eye rolls. ;)

Don't worry, all of the eye rolls are directed at me and my love for Lord Greyjoy. Pretty sure your crush is tame!
 
Alfie? He must be popular, my understanding is he shouldn't be back in this series. Also forgive me as I'm terrible with their names. Unless it's one of the obvious ones - Tyrion, Tywin, Jamie, Rob etc... I require an explanation of something they've done. In hindsight perhaps this is why my partner won't talk to me about it lol.

I am considering reading the books but I'm trying to convince my partner I need a kindle so that's stopping me at the moment. ;) We do have them all on the shelf somewhere.

Yes, Alfie! So my understanding is that he dissapears in book 3 & 4, but in book 5 they reveal what has happened to him. So his story is happening, so-to-speak, but we're not living it with him in the moment and only learn about it in memories.

I think the show is trying to keep their "main" characters in the mix even when they're not necessarily important, much like they did with Jamie and to a lesser extend Dany last season.
 
it is the best show ever but im so impatient i kinda wish id waited till the season was over so i could buy it and watch all of season 3 in one go.

Yes. We bought season one on DVD then watched it over about a weekend! Waiting a week for an episode sucks!
 
We too watched season 1 when it had finished airing. I prefer it that way but there's no way I can wait now! :)

Indeed. I actually commented this past week that I wish they wouldn't feel the need to cram everyone into one episode as I'd like to spend more time with certain stories. However I guess the end result of that would be a longer series, which I would love, however I'm guessing it would cost a small fortune to produce.

For example Robb's story was a bit "meh" this week. I understand they need to keep him in focus but I found it a bit dull. But this is probably just me having favourites because when I said this to my partner he said he liked it as it is.

I'm actually considering painting a map of Westeros for our lounge. Basically we have a painting up that used to be in my partner's old house. It's a tad inappropriate and I've been looking to get rid of it for ages. However we just couldn't agree on what to go there. I'd like something normal that normal people might have in their lounge ... but no. He wants something from a film or fandom we like. He suggested a GoT map a few weeks back and it sounded ok but all the maps I can find to buy have HBO or GoT written all over them. It's been years since I've painted something and I fancy a bit of a challenge. I have no idea why I'm writing this, it just seems on topic. Kind of. :D Going to go pick up a canvas at the weekend I think.
 
just had a look online and you can buy maps of westeros as posters, and obviously then frame it, i am seriously considering doing

just found this and i needs it, hubby not keen on the idea though

OMG can I join in here? Can I also ask is this just for the show because I haven't read the books and I don't want spoilers. ;)

Yes and yes! The more the merrier. We'll tag spoilers appropriately when mentioning the books.

I love this thread. There are other message boards solely dedicated to GoT, but I don't feel cool enough or knowledgeable enough about it to participate. This makes me feel like I'm chatting with girlfriends about the BEST SHOW EVER.

I know!! I want to be able to say 'wow, did you see how hot (insert sexy got character)'s butt was this week?' without judgement. ;)

34 Things You Didn't Know About the Men of "Game of Thrones"

https://www.buzzfeed.com/ailbhemalone/34-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-men-of-game-of-thrones

Enjoy :)
 
awe Peter Dinklage is a veggie? I <3 him even more now
 
OMG I did not realise that Bronn was Jerome from 'Robson & Jerome'. My mind is blown!
 
What a dissapointment that my Alfie is engaged!

Though I actually quite like Jaime Winstone, maybe they'd be open to plural marriage. She's my kind of girl.
 
Okay, so I watched! I have an early work meeting but I got up to get on the computer specifically to discuss this with you girls, so you better appreciate me :rofl:

I loved this episode!

I'm not crazy about Robb's girl, but I thought that whole scene was really hot/sweet.

I like the dynamic between John Snow and the red head (I can't spell her name) and I think the cultural element brings an interesting twist to their story.

So Tywin is basically running the kingdom without Joffrey. Nice move. I love how they're underestimating the dragons because their "people" are giving them bad intelligence. It's a nice parallel with modern politics, especially in the US.

I didn't realize that Gendry didn't know he was Boratheon's *******. I also think Arya is safer with the Hound than those other guys. I was remembering how kind he was to Sansa.

Jamie + Brianne = awww. I can't believe I'm beginning to like the man who pushed an innocent kid out a window and paralyzed him. Oh and I don't care about Brann's storyline. Hope it gets more interesting. On a side note, that actor has aged 10 years since the beginning of the show. Ah, puberty.

I love, love, love the Sansa and Margery scene. I have a girl crush on Marge. They have great chemistry. When Marge told Sansa she knew about sex because her mother told her I almost died! Thought she made a good point, also - Sansa could do way worse than Tyrion. I have a feeling that things aren't going to go well between him and Shae...

Dany is full of awesome-ness, as per the usual. I love that she's like queen of the people now. Khaleesi!!!! And she looked great. Seriously, this show could turn me onto women if it weren't for Alfie. Which brings me to...
.

Noelle, I love your summary here! In fact I love YOU! I'm only catching up on pages and pages of this thread after finally watching ep7 (been desperate all week!) and something you said somewhere made me LOL (Normally I do internal sniggers when reading, so that was unexpected), mind you I am also on the vin rouge at this time :haha:
Anyway, I agree with everything you've said (apart from the Theon-love, I'm still not there I'm afraid) particularly Jamie + Brienne!! I'm beginning to love Jamie (wtf??), I mean of course it helps that Nickolai (sp?) is easy on the eye, but the honour that is finally coming out of him! :happydance: I was desperately hoping he'd toss the guy that cut off his hand into the bear pit though, vastly disappointed on that front.
And as for Jon Snow and Ygritte..... Ahh, be still my beating heart! What a couple, I am made up that they are together in real life, apart from they are both posh IRL so there'd be none of that gritty northern grrr going on.
Anyhow, my wino drivel has gone on... I'm glad to be back up to date with the goings-on, and with the chat ladies :thumbup:
Now, I must attend to my neglected housekeeping. Oooh! I just remembered what made me LOL Noelle! You turning to your OH and saying "the night is dark, and full of terrors" :rofl:
My OH just 'phoned and I tried it with him. Except he's never read or watched GOT, so it rock-bottomed....
Au revoir ladies x

Me too!! I was just waiting for it and it never happened. :(

The new recap is available!

Noelle, you got me obsessed.
