Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
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:

I'll absolutely use the other thread for larger discussions. I'll only discuss the book in here to say very generic things like "some big differences from the book tonight." I'll only get more specific on book related stuff if asked specifically to do so. From now on, I'll answer any specific questions like that in a spoiler tag just to be on the safe side. For example is someone asks, "is that event the same in the book?" I'll use a spoiler tag and answer the question. I will not spoil anything, even in a spoiler tag, in this thread.
If someone asks me point blank, "what happens to so-and-so in the book," I won't answer the question in a spoiler tag, I'll advise the poster asking to go to the spoiler thread and re-post the question if they really want to know. Mostly, I just hang out in this thread to see how non-readers are enjoying the show. To see if they think it makes sense and if it continues to capture viewers who don't know the source. |

I'll say one thing about the show - I actually think it's doing a better job of portraying Joffrey as a complete prick than the book did. That scene with the whores was downright disturbing.

Bronn and Tyrion are making the season so far. I love the little shrugs Bronn gives, it cracks me up. Like when the guard from the Knight's Watch told Tyrion he was threatening the King. Tryion said, "No, I was educating my nephew. If he speaks again, kill him." Insert Bronn shrug and smirk. "That was a threat; see the difference?"

Bronn is such a perfect name for him too. Tyrion is the brains, he needs his Bronn.

Yea kinda weird to be relieved by a woman hitting another with a large stag scepter because of what I though was going to happen with that scepter.

What was Aria repeating over and over when she was at Herenhall laying on the ground at night? She was saying some names but is there a purpose for it that I am missing?

Those are the people she plans to get revenge on...Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne (the executioner), the Hound and then she adds the two torturers (the Mountain and that other guy). It was Yoren's ritual that he told her about.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet or not, but I really enjoy all of the naked chicks too. AND ITS A GOOD STORY!
