I wonder if all the people who loved that scene would have liked it if the Loras and Renly scene, a few eps past, had featured Loras franticly jacking Renly off while saying: "You could be king!", instead of the off screen slurping sounds. The forshadowing being done in the LF/Ros/Whore scene was also woefully bad. I doubt that the few non readers who managed to listen to what he's actually saying instead of being distracted by the tits, were surprised when he drew his dagger on Ned at the end. Why not have him draw the dagger, in this ep, then have him explain his actions in ep 8 or something. Would make for better TV. Actually, cutting the entire Ros character would make for better TV. Other than that, it was a great episode. Looking forward to the next one, which will be written by GRRM himself!  | ||

And it looks like they're gonna eliminate every opponent and seize power in their hands. Gosh. I hope Khal Drogo and his horde invade Westeros soon to wipe out those people. But tywin really looked like a badass. I kind of like him  At first I did not understand why the richest man in the realm had to skin the deer by himself... but when I check this thread I got it Not having time to read 150 pages of thread...why did he do that? I was wondering while watching, and didn't quite get it. | ||

Wondering how long it'll last! if you're referring to the quality of the story (I assume you have not read the books then), from my personal opinion I'd say it will at least last until they reach the end of "A Feast for Crows" if you're talking about how long the show will last on TV, I'll keep my fingers crossed  | ||

Butchering is a job for the common people but hunting used to be a very elite activity reserved only for the noble. Hunting for sport that is, even common people tended to hunt if the need arised for it. Gutting it yourself would probably have been a part of it for some nobles. In this case it was for two reasons: 1) It shows he isn't afraid to literally get his hands dirty. He's the kinda guy that gets things done. 2) It was symbolic because a stag is the symbol of house baratheon. | ||

In the book she first opposes it strongly and then pushes Eddard to do it. When Bran gets thrown from the tower, she wants Ned to go so he can get justice. | ||

I don't mind tits or sex, but I'd rather have more of the book plot in. We're not in the 1980s anymore, tits are not needed to bring in the 18-49 male demos. We have the internet, which is filled with tits. I wonder if all the people who loved that scene would have liked it if the Loras and Renly scene, a few eps past, had featured Loras franticly jacking Renly off while saying: "You could be king!", instead of the off screen slurping sounds.

Everything else seemed weak. And if Loras was jerking Renly off, telling him "You could be king!", while Littlefinger or Tyrion were in the room, then yes I'd love it. Those two keep the show alive for me. Most of the other actors are turning me off, and not sexually. | ||

The lion is devouring the stag That makes sense from the writers point of view, but not from Tywin's. It's not like he believes in vodoo. However it is not too far of a stretch to say that skinning the stag was part of the hobby of hunting it. | ||

Yet we don't know if the messenger made it out of King's Landing alive. Looks like all the Stark guards were being butchered. | ||

Just kidding, I just wanted to put this tag on the show to confuse people Just game to say, I love that people love the series. Here to hope it'll be soon in my country.*edit at post below* No book spoilers? Allright, I'll remove the spoiler tags then. Sometimes I forget I suck at humor. Sorry. | ||
