The show needs to be longer
An hour with no commercials feels like it goes by so fast when I watch this show.
Ending always has me juiced for next week...now it really feels like things are about to go down.

It's crazy how they can just go episodes w/o showing certain characters at all (no Jon Snow, no Bran and no Theon this ep)
just way too many storylines to show in depth

they literally just did this episode. (that kid who stared them in the face)
I mean, they had a dude stab a baby to end an episode and had a had a shadow creature crawl out of a chick's (|) this one.
I wouldn't put it past them...

amazing
that shadow was WAY better than i imagined it when i first read that scene
Harrenhall
i loved that little history about that castle
i think arya was put in tywins care, i mean he really got her to be his cupbearer
(in the books)
again.. another littlefinger scene that we didn't need... he really didn't do anything
(he's suppose to be doing something else right now)
robs victory
i think the producers/writers are try a little bit too hard to make us hate joffrey... i mean we already hate him... he killed off a main character. c'mon!
we got to start feeling that same hatred towards cersei now
anyone else liking how the beginning theme keeps changing?
one thing that i didn't like was how harrenhal was just "there" it didn't do that -popping out of the ground effect- that it does to the other areas

The whole thing with Littlefinger and cat is to give the viewer some payoff about him being in love with her and further that along. He showed up because he thought he could get her to marry him
Using Littlefinger to ask Cat to let go of Jaime makes sense even if it's not in the book. Someone needs to plant that seed and who better than Littlefinger?

that dude was an older teen though. they kill older kids, but they're not gonna show two crippled elementary school kids having their heads impaled. they might imply/speak on it, but they won't show bran's head on a stake.

The camp is a place to take prisoners. I thought I heard one of the guards say they were running out of room, so they decided started killing people. Torturing them was just a way to find out information before they were killed.
Im so intrigued by this smoke baby I want to read up on it just to know what the hell that thing is. But I cant spoil myself so Ill just wait. What a cliffhanger though

I dont know how to quote everything I want to quote so I"ll start with the most recent post (without spoiling)
@creekshow
They dont really explain the smoke baby in the book.....Davos is just creeped out by it. and there is never really any mention of it or how/why its created.
@Nako Theres no reason not to...
@hybrid Exactly what I was thinking....
@servballer lol wait til you read the book and your waiting like 5 chapters or 100+ pages for your fav characters chap to finally come up lol
@Man E 1. It was smart for the show to go this direction 1. Because at this time of the book Tywin was the who was at Harrenhal and like we said the whole arc before sansa ended up there anyway was pointless.. The bar fight would have been cool.. but once again that still ties in to her eventually being at Harrenal. ...
2. ties in to 1's answer.. once again all that running around in the book for what????? just to go to harrenhall.. Would have been stupid to waste an episode on Arya doing that the only thing that comes about it is her and Gendry and hot pie moaning and groaning.
Plus tywin won't know Arya on sight especially with the hair cut. so really It doesn't matter. and shes still doing the same thing she did with Bolton. (which was sort of pointless having him at that particular time in the book also since he's not important til book 3.
3. Littlefinger going to the camp makes perfect sense though.. He was eventually sent out anyway... and with how the story will come about this makes this little passing more sensible. and Like the other person said this could be the precursor to Cat's feelings. makes sense.
4. shae and sansa is irrelevant. it happens soon anyway...kind of. why not let it happen now.
I just finished book 4... honestly boring to me. but my feelings changed about a lot of people. I bring it up because I hope they sort of bring it tie it in to season 4 (which will be the 2nd part of part book3) since a lot of things that can be done with an episode or two can be explained

I wasn't paying attention to the intro. That's a nice touch though
It's difficult to tell if Melisandre is evil or not. I'm skeptical of Stannis being the chosen one. That shadow child definitely makes people think dark magic. She's what they call a Shadowbinder. Other followers of R'hllor are introduced later on and they have magical abilities too. I like how religion and magic start to play a big part.
For a second I thought it was Yara Greyjoy and not Lancel that was at Tyrion's door. I was like wth? The actress playing her has a manly looking face.

I thought the "shadow baby" was a great adaptation. Although Davos' reaction was sort of comical.

Great episode
I've come to accept the changes. It makes it interesting to see as someone who already read most of he books. Plus the POV style of the books allows some of the liberties taken by the show
However having 10 episodes is terrible. I mean just see this thread. There is so much confusion.

I agree. The changes are very necessary since they can only fit so much into an episode and into a season. A lot of secondary characters will be excluded like that fat lady that Shae originally was supposed to be a servant to. My brother is really confused and always asking me questions since the background of characters isn't mentioned or only talked about briefly. Renly talked about it a little bit about how Stannis is ahead of him in succession but that Stannis isn't popular or loved. He's very stern and by the book. Renly is more charismatic and remind people of Robert when he was young. Renly's forces are 100k plus and I think Stannis is around 20k.
Dani has barely been i this season. I found it weird that the title of the episode was "Garden of Bones" in reference to the area surrounding Qarth but there were only a few scenes of it.
We only saw the new actor playing The Mountain for a few seconds. I thought the previous actor was perfect for the role, I hope the new guy is intimidating as well.

One thing that bothers me is how Petyr is being portrayed. I understand that it makes sense for him to go see Catelyn, nor do I have a problem with some of the plot changes. But, what made me love Littlefinger's character was how conniving, and exact all of his decisions were. Everything he did was to serve a greater purpose of his in the long run. I feel season 2 has him being almost wreckless and too bold for who his character is. Yes GRR Martin is helping to write the episodes so whatever happens has his approval. I just prefer him in the books as the quiet man moving the pieces in the background while everyone else fights their war.
