I like how non-biased and straight up nerding-it-out reasonable he was with his answers. Can't say I agree on Gimli vs. the mountain though. Just...how? How can Gimli win that? The mountain isn't some ogre he can outsmart or move with so much greater agility and speed yet he still has problems like a couple hundred percent reach disadvantage and only being able to hope to hit up to the guy's waist even if he gets close. He just handed it to the opposition's fandom popular character to preempt seeming biased towards his characters on the part of the less inclined towards reasonably nerding-it-out. Edit: Wrong post, unless we are worried about 30some-year-old marvel comics too, I'm talking about the one from near the end of last page with the GRRM interview where they talk about GRR vs. JRR. Poster already added a warning now so it shouldn't be a problem. | ||

At least Littlefinger and Jon Snow is alive, for now. My two favourite characters. Can't wait to see what will happen to them in next season! :D | ||

Wasn't there a big army of Rob's men waiting outside Winterfell and yet Theon and his sister's troops (which were only supposed to be a small force) were able to sack the city and escape. What were the army outside doing while this was happening? Why didn't they try to prevent it? We don't really know yet the exact details of the sacking of Winterfell. Having read the books, I'll say that an explanation will be forthcoming as soon as Season 3 gets underway. | ||

I think i remember Ned starrk saying that 50 (?) men could hold Winterfell against any army, so it would have been pointless to try and force anything. | ||

Seasons 3/4 should be even better than 1/2. I want to fully endorse this hype machine as early as humanly possible. The next two seasons should be incredible, beyond anything we've seen so far on so many levels. | ||

Well, this upcoming season does have the scene that the lead writer/producers both considered the single most exciting thing to do/is the flagship reason they wanted to make the TV adaptation. And I'm 99.9999999% sure it is also the scene that has GRRM saying he plans to disappear for a couple weeks afterwards to hide from the internet storm. I'm also quite sure it's the same scene I plan to be firmly watching my viewing partner(s depending on who is there) over the show for. I can rewatch anytime, but that first reaction from a non-reader is a one-off. Also, in general it is no secret and little debate that book 3 (seasons 3-4) are the high point of the series so far book-wise. Finally, just in the off chance I can save someone from this spoiler hazard, do not even try to look up this topic too closely other than what is stated in known spoiler safe zones because the very name usually used to refer to the scene in question is somewhat of a spoiler both about what happens in it and that would easily allow someone to know when the scene was coming up. GRRM used the dangerous designation to talk about it in his allegedly spoiler free, at least when expressly talking about upcoming show material, "not a blog" even. | ||

Book 3 is widely considered the best of the series. Thus season 3+4 are probably going to be awesome. The End. | ||
