Game of Thrones Season 2

Khaleesi needs chapstick on those big, luscious, pouty, kissable lips of hers.

Davos and Stannis both nailed it, loved both them. I thought Stannis would have more of a warrior's frame but his delivery writing the letter was perfect "I never loved him... take it out". I've seen Liam Cunningham in enough to know he'll be great as seemed, great casting choice. Wasn't sure on Mel from trailers, seems to frail and fresh faced for some of stuff to come but her performance pushed worries away. Craster didn't seem 'wild' enough but his keep was exactly as imagined it. Dontos was a bit too comical and was an awkward opening to be honest.

I'm kind of annoyed that i've read the books in terms of enjoying the show (i'm not annoyed generally as books were excellent) but the comparisons are inevitably annoying when they change the structure around a bit. I'm just waiting for all the amazing stuff to happen that the first episode left me a bit agitated where it was a catch up from last season without really delving into any the narrative strands. I don't remember the Cersei/Joffrey dynamic being like this, was sure she ordered the killing of the bastards and knew who they all were. Have to reread. And i'm almost CERTAIN Dany and Rakharro never had any cheeky looks like that in the book. Thought the cut into Bran's wolf dream was a bit abrupt in terms of the show as a whole but the effects of the direwolves make up for it. Shame it seems to mean can only see one per episode as no sign of Ghost


And BB.... I always assumed the prologue of ADWD was a hint

I like the new people in the show. I also thought Stannis would be more stout, but I can live with this guy. I really like the woman that plays Melisandre. She's just as hot as I hoped she be!

Wait till episode 2

This reminds me of something.

In the books Daenery's is supposed to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Also, Cersei is supposed to be pretty close to Daenery's in looks, though her beauty is waning with her age.

What does everyone think of the women playing these roles? Personally, I think both Lena Headey and Emilia Clarke are pretty damn hot (despite the fact that I still think they should have cast natural blondes...). I don't know if I'd say Daenery's is one of the most beautiful women ever, but she's pretty attractive. But, then again, how do you cast the most beautiful woman in the world? It's not as if there's some well defined version of physical perfection, other than Ted Raimi, of course.

If i was a Greyjoy; i'd travel the seas to pillage her.

My girlfriend felt uncomfortable with the porn like sex scenes in this episode. I didn't have a problem.

Suspect's Reviews

I'll be honest, i'm not sure what's going on with Littlefinger. I get the impression casting an actor bigger than part is having it's toll

His verbal pimp slap to the woman who was crying was epic.

Probably problem with reading books, would rather see more time dedicated to moments from books opposed to new bits. Littlefinger worked better as an enigma, background worker instead of him being a focus with clearer motives.

Please, God, Bring This Game of Thrones Game to Life

My fiance and I have a nickname for Lena Headey: "Crinkle Face" - so maybe that will answer your question?

As for Emilia Clarke, I think she's pretty...but she's one of the worst actors on the show IMO. She just has this blank stare that drives me nuts! Even when she's doing her "Bitch, I'm KHALEESI!" routine I'm bored.

Aww, I like Aidan Gillen. He was excellent in "The Wire."

Listen, man. Am I crazy, or is Theon's sister not named Asha? In episode 2 I'm pretty sure Theon says Liara.

I like Gillen too, I just meant that they've got an actor who probably has more screentime in his contract than the character has.

I'm feeling the series is being spread pretty thin at the moment in comparison to the depth of the books. Really think it needs more time

"there's men out there who want to duck your corpses...... outside now!"


So altering the books also disregards semblance of logic

Just finished watching Game Of Thrones Season 1 disc set ( never watch them directly on TV ).
Was very impressed with the multiple story line and execution, actually the whole idea of Winterland and Death Watch and Dragon people. The idea of the Wall ( as in Hadrian's Wall or even the Great Wall Of China ) and the creatures that live on the other side.
It's got everfything: love, hate, war, romance , more war, fantasy and mythology, honor, friendship, an intelligent midget and even zombies.
Wow, what a glorious cocktail. Sign me up for Season 2.
