Game of thrones

I saw this as foreshadowing of what may happen in Ep 10. Arya has Ser Meryn Trant at the top of her "to kill" list.

Looks like EYE guessed right on this outcome

I didn't know what the ending was, although I wasn't particularly surprised when I saw it - he had it coming.

As for Lena Headey - she has been the outstanding actress from season one, fantastic, a lot of tough scenes in this series (particularly this episode) - but she absolutely nailed it.

She used a body double allegedly for the naked scenes

She used a body double allegedly for the naked scenes

Nothing allegedly about it. Probably because she is very tattooed and also pregnant.

epic

 

[Bold Seagull]

More sex, violence, magic, dragons, sex, politics, deception, sex, intrigue, love, and swords, lots of swords. Going to be good.

As someone who has read the books I'm torn about whether to watch. I was totally shocked when Shireen died, for example - because I know she's alive in the books. Same with Stannis. Do I really wanna know?

I always thought that was hilarious. They super imposed her face on to the body double so she could "focus on the acting".

Just watch and enjoy without thinking too much of the books, they're almost two seperate things with the same characters at this stage.

As for Stannis, GRRM has confirmed that he is 100% still alive in the books irrespective of his status/fate in the show which pleases me as he's my favourite character in the whole thing aside from the definitely dead Prince Oberyn.

Bit like Andrea in The Walking Dead then?

I think it's ok to watch the series after reading the proper version (in general). Once you accept that they're totally different you can still enjoy the latter.

 

[HHGull]

Arya's storyline at The House of Black and White is without doubt my favourite towards the end of the books. Can't wait to see how it pans out this series.

Haven't read TWD comics but if she's alive in the comics I'm glad they deviated from the script!

Yeah I get that but I find it hard to separate them. I know that if/when I read TWOW when Jon opens his icy walker eyes I'll see TV Snow etc. Life's hard eh?

You haven't lived!

It's still going and is amazing. Much more in depth and better than the tv series (although I've recently started binge watching that and it is good).

I'll not spoil it for you other than to say that the encounter with the governor is VERY different in the original, and he's even more of a c***. And Andrea is awesome.

Very nerdy but the second half of this season of TWD is, imo, as good as any GoT. Might read the comics when it is all done and dusted.

I'm only up to S4 on the tv series but await the release of the next graphic novel episode like a kid at Christmas. #sad #geek

Actually screw the pub I'm off home to watch another few.....

I'll be happy if/when there is even a TWOW for me to read - when I saw on Twitter that George Martin had died my thoughts did not go to the Beatles producer!

One interesting possibility with Season 6 is that there are to be flashbacks which may go at least some way to confirming R+L=J, if that does happen it'll be interesting to see whether that mirrors any revelation on those lines in TWOW because that could ultimately be THE crucial plot point of the whole thing.

Would love to see that scene "I looked for you at the Trident...."

Edit: In the trailer there is exactly that scene it seems. Wow.

Just watched the new trailer - Theon looks as if he is being baptised by the Greyjoy sea god thing. Poor Theon isn't dead yet!

Yep, it really does seem like they're going there and doing that.

NO SPOILERS

Just saw the first episode and the best I can say is nothing much happened. 6/10.
