Not sure how I feel about this. Sorry if Repost. Apparently they're releasing a PC game as sort of a prequel before the books.

Wasn't that announced a while ago? Didn't realize they were tying it into the series, although that makes sense from a marketing standpoint.

yeah it was announced last year, but they're just now releasing some info on the game, and some screens.

Oh my. Seeing people's reactions to next week is going to be interesting, if I don't miss my guess.

Loved the stuff with Sam and Jon. And Ghost!

And Bran's crow.

Tyrion's oh shit moment at the end.

One thing I really like is how they're showing Jamie as conflicted. He's more the Jamie of the latter books and not the Jamie of the early books. And I think the difference there is that you don't actually see him in the early books; he's always talked about but never really on stage. So you're getting his reputation and not who you discover that he is later. Which means the show's getting it right, I think.

Littlefinger and Sansa. Talk about foreshadowing.

And the bit about poison being woman's work.

And Robert's son.

So much good stuff in that episode.

Hodor.

About to watch this stuff. Hope it's not boring.

Holy shit, General Veers is in this (Julian Glover)

Yawn.

This novel translates horribly to television.

They sure wasted a shit ton of money on awesome costumes and sets just to have people stand around and blab and barely advance the plot.

THAT GUY SURE GURGLED BLOOD THOUGH! :rolleyes:

It's no Ewok Adventure, that's for sure.

It's just poorly executed television.

That was the best episode so far.

It had completely slipped my mind that Catelyn thought Tyrion plotted to kill Bran by the end of the episode and when she got all those guys to arrest him I was like, "OH SHIT!"

I think other than Jon, Littlefinger is my favorite character in the show.

Also I watched the previews for next weeks episode and it looks like there is finally going to be some action so GoChiefs should enjoy that episode.

This show never feels like its an hour long either.

The action in the last episode sucked.

Your the ONLY one i have seen so far that said it translates bad. I just got the books and am about 130 pages into the book, and so far it seems to be pretty spot on except for the ages of the kids, which have to be upped for obvious reasons.

Yep! I hate it when the credits roll. My wife and I are hooked.
