Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)

[keg in kc]

A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.

A few quick ground rules:

• No Spoilers!!!!! for upcoming episodes.
• Larger Song of Ice and Fire discussion should be limited to the other thread although I think a tiny bit of book delving to fill in holes should be okay (example of this would be talking about Catelyn and her treatment of the wolves in the novel, which was alluded to on TV but never really made clear...)
• Everything that happened that week is fair game once an episode airs. So if you don't watch on Sunday night, I'd stay outta here until you do...

I'm not sure why anybody would expect her to do otherwise, after they'd established that she and Arya don't get along and that she's mooning after little lord ****stick and his royal family.

Hey, you basically forecast to the rest of us that she's a boring character. You were the one who made this thread.

Oh also theres a huge ****ing thread here also where you can discuss the book all you want. Just sayin'.

No I didn't. Anytime I'm talking in this thread I'm talking about whatever's happening on TV. Even if I mention something from the book, I'm talking concurrently with whatever's happening on TV (and I didn't actually mention anything from the book...).

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. It's not like I started both threads.

That's exactly why she angers me.

Reading the first book, about 1/4 of the way in, and watching episode 2 tonight. Great series so far, nice mixture of fantasy and politics.

Just wanted to drop a thanks for this thread, started reading the other thread as the series started, and noticed everyone read the books and was telling us what is going to happen.

I think she was essentially a scared kid at that point.

C'mon - every child you've ever known (yourself included) has gone with "I don't know..." whenever the truth was going to get their ass blistered or a friend in trouble.

I don't fault her for it. She was just being a scared, sheltered kid. There's nothing to like about her, but I've never found anything to loathe about her either.

This really is a discussion better saved till after Season 1 runs its course.

I wish this damn show was on every night. Waiting a week sucks.

I haven't read finished the book. In fact, I'm probably only about an episode or 2 ahead.

To this point, I can't come up with a reason to hate her. Obviously time will tell. I believe Tyrian Lannister is likely to be viewed much differently by the end of the season as well, but at this point he appears to be something of an evil little imp with a quick wit and that's the opinion I'm able to have of him.

This is like four-dimensional chess!

ETA: Am I the only one who, every time I hear the name Sansa, wonders what a USB drive is doing in a fantasy drama? I am? Sorry. . .
