I don't know if I can handle 1 season a year, since 10 episodes only run for 2.5 months :3

A 9 month downtime seems like forever. :>
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

I just watched episode 9, and I have to say that lack of actual battle scenes was quite underwhelming. I was never expecting a LOTR-esque bird-eye overview of huge armies to begin with, but come on, there are plenty of ways to show "cost-efficient" battle scenes with not that many people appearing on screen.

I mean they even showed the skirmish with the mountain clans when Tyrion was being taken to the Vale so they should at least have shown the scene where Jaime is taken in battle. Besides, combat prowess is supposed to be this huge part of Jaime's character.


The character interacts and political movings are so much interesting than battle scenes. If you want action I don't think this is your show ;(


Yes, the battles are not the highlight, even in the books. I was just a little disappointed on how they shown Tyrion's supposedly first big battle leading his wildling army.


wildlings are people north of the wall.

the mountain tribes are people who reside outside in the region around the vale


Yes, I know. I was using "wildling" as an adjective like how Tywin used it while referring to Tyrion's army in this episode.

best thing on 1x09 was lord Frey, excellently portraited that old bastard

Lack of proper fightscenes + crappy Shae choice make me sad. Also story unfolds too fast for me, too many things missing I don't really know how a person who hasn't read the books before can understand everything that is happening.

This thread is giving me brain cancer.

Everyone saw the episode where Drogo got wounded. Everyone saw how insignificant it was.
Everyone saw some healer/witch put a mat of herbs on his wound.
Drogo is suddenly dying from an obviously insignificant wound, that should not pose a risk untended. He is dying from an insignificant wound being tended, however.
Drogo's bodyguard even said he believes the witch was the reason he's dying.

Lets ignore all that. Instead, it's just an unrealistic infection.



Unrealistic? People died in those times of "insignificant" cuts. I haven't read the books so I dunno if the witch had something to do with the whole thing. (Can't spoil what I haven't read yet) but I don't find it hard to believe that a cut to the chest led to a lethal infection, the only cure they had in the middle ages to a festering infection was to cut off limbs.

If they later show that the witch was the evil one all along... Well I guess I won't be surprised either.

This episode though... Wow. This is ridiculously good stuff, I had shivers all along looking at the time not wanting this to end.
Too tired to come up with something witty.

And I liked Drogo's bodyguard too. Damn you Jorah for killing him!

Wattt. I <3 Jorah. What a badass he was last episode.

And T_T for Drogo...

Having read the first book nothing came as a surprise, but still it pains me to see Sean Bean die in a medieval movie... again. It makes you realize how much shit could've been avoided if Ned told Robert about Joffrey not being his son, or if he swore fealty to Joffrey when he became king. But then, once he finally gives up his honor, he dies. Depressing

Also Lord Frey was awesome lol. Stingy old man.

i haven't been talking about the show much online or anything, just with a friend who read the books. i gotta say though, holy shit, that was probably the most emotional i've ever been over any fictional story ever. i was so pissed off at ed dying; i felt pity for tyrion actually having to fight on the front lines and then even more pity for him appearing like a coward against his will against what turned out to be an easy fight; i was worried about khal drogo's and dany's fate as the dothraki tribe stability seems out of control. FUCK.

best show i've seen in a long time if not ever, and i'm extremely tempted to read the books. i'm not much of a reader either, but i want to know the whole of what's been actually happening since i know they must have cut out a ton of stuff due to time restraints. it's really funny how after i settled down from ed dying that i realized how good the story was and how involved it got me. people actually don't have plot armor and that is something i've never experienced in a tv show.

I somehow didn't find Aemon's reveal to be that amazing. I was just like 'oh, cool, he's a Targaryen.'

Is that really such a big deal? :/

I only find it hard to follow a timeline, but the actual events are fairly easy to follow. I've started reading the book but am still someways just slowly catching up. I will say this though... While reading is complementing very nicely, it's making me appreciate the screenplay writing all that much more, and I have to say... I'm a little sorry for those who have read the books, since not knowing what is coming is one hell of a ride <.<. I'll probably be in your boat when they take a break till next season though.


However your comment makes me almost want to pace myself with other books... Since in a way... I kinda don't want to be the guy who looks at this masterpiece of television and says that the best scene was seeing Lord Frey or arguing about what actress they chose for Shae.

Are you kidding me? I've seen people - both in films and real life - suffering from much, much bigger wounds and they still live, yet the almighty Khal Drogo is dying due to a freaking small cut near his shoulder? What on earth is this? Even when it festered, it can only make the guy ill at most, not killing him. WTF.


Not sure if serious.......

Without antibiotics and proper medicine a wound like that can be very dangerous if it leads to an infection. It was very common to die like that back then. It doesn't matter how much of a badass you are, an infection is still an infection - and it can easily kill you if not treated.

Not so much, except in the grand scheme of things. It was thought that dany is the last Targaryen in the world, but she isn't because Aemon is alive. However, it doesn't really matter because Aemon is so old he will be dead soon.

Not really, it means if he stayed Robert would have bashed his head in.
