Yes Special Deal.

Well Done Sky.



Utter Bliss.

[Scarlett.]

Haha both Kit Harrington and Sean Bean are in the Silent Hill film sequel too :D (Kit is the bloke in my sig)

[Tom4784]

It's got stupidly good reviews from everywhere, quite unexpected given that it's a fantasy series. I'll give it a watch.

[Stu]

Sean Bean is in the Silent Hill movie?

Gotta watch it now.

Martin Septim ftw.

[arista]

On Now

[Tom4784]

This wasn't bad at all, I can see why it was so hyped up.

[Lee.]

I'm going to watch this later.. I've heard it's shite, but I've also heard it's fantastic, so don't really know what to expect :conf:

[Novo]

Watched the first episode this morning, Really strong episode and introduced the main characters very well, realised halfway through that the girl who plays Cersei is Sarah Connor from terminator

[arista]

On SkyAtlanticHD now

[Lee.]

Oh I meant to comment on this! Wasn't sure what to expect from the 1st episode, bubt I loved it! Recording the 2nd ep now!

[Stu]

As good as it is now I can sense that it's a real slow burner.

[Locke.]

Have got the first episode recorded, might watch it tonight

[GypsyGoth]

I'm going to download this.

[Lee.]

She was in Jungle Book too

[Tom4784]

The second episode was good, The Lannisters make for good villains. The Draco Malfoy wannabe annoys me though.

[Novo]

The second episode was good, The Lannisters make for good villains. The Draco Malfoy wannabe annoys me though.

He has a face you feel like punching.. looks like an elf or something, good character though.

[Tom4784]

I think he's a bit too two dimensional. There doesn't seem to be anything to him but evil looks and scheming while the Lannisters are a bit more fleshed out. We're only two episodes in though so he might improve but I think he's the weakest part of the series at the moment.

[Lee.]

I think he's hot! :laugh:

[Lee.]

Just watched ep2... even better than ep1!

Nice to see that chick from Hollyoaks, plus I just realised the king is played by the same actor that played the chubby bloke in The Full Monty!

Oh, and that queen is a ****ing dirty lowdown bitch! :bored:

[Lee.]

Ooooh! I just saw the trailer for next weeks!

Saw that Irish actor that I currently like (Aiden Gillen I think?)

[Novo]

Watching Episode 3 now

[Lee.]

I was going to watch ep3 tonight but cba.. Is it good?

[arista]

I was going to watch ep3 tonight but cba.. Is it good?


Yes it is Good.


I am watching it Now

[arista]

On Ch108 on Sky now

[Tom4784]

Yesterday's episode was great, probably the best so far. I'm really beginning to love this series.

[GypsyGoth]

I'm half way through the third ep, I think it's great but it's very dark.

A couple of year's ago I started to read the first book, I stopped soon after Bran was thrown from the old tower, I thought it was a horrible scene.

Anyway I think the tv show is very well acted and it looks great.

[Tom4784]

I adore this series, every week it just gets better and better. I'm quite intrigued to see where they go next with....Dynearis? Not sure how you spell her name but in the last episode she was shown to have some sort of power of flame resistance.

Well done Sky.

[Locke.]

Is this good? Sky Atlantic are showing the first 6 episodes tonight, might record it

[Tom4784]

It's really good, I look forward to it every week.

[Locke.]

Just watched the first episode

Wasn't expecting that with the kid at the end :shocked:

[Locke.]

I am just starting episode 3... The young prince, I hope to see him beheaded soon.

[Novo]

Loved last nights episode

[arista]

Loved last nights episode


The Two Naked Women.

[Tom4784]

It's getting very interesting, I think Ned will team up with Daeneris and the Dothraki and take down the Lannisters I think.

[Novo]

Jon snow and Ghost need to slaughter all the Dothraki

[Tom4784]

I quite like the Dothraki meself, I hope they do more with Jon though he's one of the best characters in it but he's not actually done much.

[Locke.]

Karl Drogo will slay King Robert

[Novo]

A Boar beat him to it. :)

[Locke.]

I think he's hot! :laugh:

He's about 12 :crazy:

[Novo]

Firewire in 10 years time

[Locke.]

I have now caught up.

Ned, Jon Snow, Tyrion the midget, Kahl Drogo, and Jon's fat friend are the best in it.

I absolutely hate Jaime and that horrible little blonde ****.

[GypsyGoth]

That guy betraying Stark was a surprise. It's a brilliant show :love:

[Locke.]

You have a mission Claudia

Track down the actor that plays the young blonde prince and decapitate him, so we don't have to put up with him in season 2

[Novo]

A mission for someone, find a stream for tonight's episode i am to inpatient to wait til tomorrow

[arista]

On Sky Atlantic HD now

[Locke.]

Amazing episode, best yet. It is just getting better each episode now.

Robert seems like a good character, I'm not fancying his chances against the Lannister's though.

[Novo]

Going to watch it now.. fall asleep before i have just woke up :crazy:

[billy123]

Dungeons and dragons was ok but this sucks i was urged to watch and gave it a chance but it is utter tripe.
I am trying to fill the LOST sized hole but this doesnt come anywhere close for me :(

[Novo]

Think your the first person i have heard that has said anything bad about the show

[Novo]

Wonder what happened to Syrio Forel.. we probably won't see him again now so i think we'll ever find out

[Locke.]

Poor guy definitely died. I liked him aswell, reminded me of Chico from the X Factor

[Locke.]

You like Dungeons & Dragons yet you think this is bad? Away with you, I'm sending you on a quest for taste.

I liked the last episode, I'm not sure how they'll get around to tying up the story with three episodes though.

[Locke.]

There are only 2 episodes left now.

There are going to be 5 seasons by the way, so we'll be left on a cliffhanger probably

[Locke.]

Didn't notice that the guy who Tyrion is with now, the one that had that fight for him, was one of the people with Ned's wife that captured him in the first place

[Tom4784]

Ah, I wondered where he popped up from.

[arista]

Amazing episode, best yet. It is just getting better each episode now.

Robert seems like a good character, I'm not fancying his chances against the Lannister's though.



Yes just watched it.


HBO second to none.

[GypsyGoth]

It keeps getting better, I just finished watching part 8.

[Locke.]

Episode 9 looks like it will be even better

[GypsyGoth]

Episode 9 looks like it will be even better

r4-xIfzxR80

:amazed:

Although I hardly watched any because I was afraid I might see spoilers :D

[Locke.]

I have just watched Episode 2 back (rewatching from the start again because I was really confused when I first started watching about who was related to who and everything). The one where Arya and the butchers boy are having that toy sword fight and that mong Joffrey starts being a dickhead, and the wolf ends up getting killed.. I really hope Arya ends up killing Joffrey :bored:

[Locke.]

Oh my god.. spoilers for the episode that airs in the UK tonight

Just watched it. Amazing episode again. Can't believe that ending. I read a spoiler about a week ago that Ned was going to die but wasn't expecting it for a long time.. and especially not like that.

Great that Robb has caught Jaime aswell, hopefully he gets a good torturing next week. And hopefully Joffrey dies very soon.

[Tom4784]

What an episode.

[Locke.]

Would have been the perfect scene to end the season/book on, so something else great must be coming in the next episode.

[Locke.]

Promo for the finale:

N2VDXgUInl4

[Mystic Mock]

Joffrey is a twincest little ****er that must die after what he did in that last episode.

Although the actor has done a good job bringing this out of me and alot of us Game of thrones fans.

[Tom4784]

I really can't wait for the next episode, I hope they don't kill off Tyrion. He's easily one of the best characters.

[Locke.]

No chance he will die.

If I had to choose any characters that I think will live for a long time, I'd say Tyrion and Jon Snow.

[Mystic Mock]

No chance he will die.

If I had to choose any characters that I think will live for a long time, I'd say Tyrion and Jon Snow.

I think so aswell,I wouldnt be surprised at Joffrey,Cersei and Denarys going far aswell.

[Locke.]

No chance for Joffrey, Little Finger and Varys will plot to get rid of him now that they know they can't control him

[Mystic Mock]

No chance for Joffrey, Little Finger and Varys will plot to get rid of him now that they know they can't control him

Yeah Varys could deal with him,but I think Cersei would kill Varys if she found out that he did anything to him though.

[Tom4784]

Next week is going to be a Lannister bloodbath I think, at least Tywin and Jaime will die and if Joffrey survives I'll be surprised. I reckon Jon Snow will have a bigger role to play in the future. They're setting him and Rob up as main characters I think.

[Locke.]

I think Jaime will survive for a while yet and be the main bad guy. Think Tywin, Cersei, and hopefully Josh will die though.

I watched some interview show on Sky Atlantic the other week which had most of the cast members on, and the actor that played Jaime said him and Ned were the two most feared swordsmen in the seven kingdoms, so it'll be interesting if they're both gone by season 2.

[Locke.]

Here's what I think will happen:

Arya will end up at the Wall. The guy she is with at the end of episode 9 is Yoren, who is one of the Nights Watch and who recruits members. Plus she has nowhere else to go now (her and Yoren will have no idea where Robb and Catelyn are.) Either that or she will go back to Winterfell, but then she would be away from where all the storylines are at the minute so that wouldn't make much sense.

They will trade Jaime for Sansa. She obviously won't want to marry Joffrey now, and I think this is the only way they'd be able to save her.

Something has surely got to happen with Tyrion and Tywin aswell.

[Novo]

This is an interesting take on future events which is pretty believable as well

In the end, some hero or heroes will stand up to Dany and defeat her. Most likely Jon Snow will lead this effort....thus the title A Song of Ice & Fire...Jon's Ice vs. Dany's Fire.

[Novo]

Joffrey is going to survive i reckon a character like him can't be killed of so soon can't see any main characters dying in the finale to be honest not even Jaime

[Locke.]

Finale tonight :shocked:

[Tom4784]

I'm looking forward to tommorow, GoT is one of the best series I've seen in years. I'll have to pick up the book, I think I'll do what I do with True Blood which is watching the seasons and then reading the book the book associated with it.

[Locke.]

Half way through the first book now, you get a lot more background on the characters and there is a lot more scenes with the direwolves attacking people and stuff.

Just ordered the second book about 5 minutes ago

[Locke.]

Finale spoilers

7/10 for me and the weakest of the first season.

The scenes with Sansa and Joffrey were excellent, and most of Daenery's too. But I didn't care for the Pycelle part, and I thought the story moved a little too slowly.

Oh, and the final scenes of the Night Watch of the season has gotta be up there with the best.. really well done scene that.

[Novo]

Didn't think they'd bring the Dragons into it this soon that was shocking :shocked: If Daenerys has Immunity to fire then maybe Jon Snow has some sort of relation with the Extreme colds/Winter the Nights I am guessing when the dragons grow up they'll be able to ride them across the sea?

The Scenes with Arya, Yoren and Gendry were pretty well done and oddly enough Arya probably suits short hair better then long hair :joker:

I am glad the nights watch are finally going into the Haunted forest it was the perfect time to set things up nicely for the next series also i really don't get this feud between Varys and Littlefinger they gave them quite a long scene in that episode

[Locke.]

The dragons looked quite good for a tv show aswell. Saw an interview with the writers the other day and they were worried about how they'd be able to afford the CGI to make them look realistic enough. Wasn't expecting them til near the end of season 2 though

[Josy]

I am so tempted to read those spoilers.

[Locke.]

The entire episode will be spoiled if you do

[arista]

the final is now on SkyAtlantic HD

[Tom4784]

It was a good epsiode but not a great finale, I think the main problem with this series is that all in all it didn't feel like a complete narrative, That episode felt more like a mid series episode rather then a finale. Is that where the book ends?

In other news is Cersei trying to work her way through her whole family or what?! :laugh:

[Locke.]

I think the Episode 9 ending would have worked better as the finale ending

[Tom4784]

Yeah, I just think this episode just didn't work as a finale, there's no resolution to anything although I do like the....Daenerys twist....Daniris? However you spell her name.

[Locke.]

Via James Hibberd at EW, some great news: viewership of the final episode of Game of Thrones hit 3 million viewers, with 3.9 million viewers overnight across recap and other sources. According to TV by the Numbers, the “key” 18-49 demographic was 1.4, which surpassed Boardwalk Empire‘s finale in that same metric

[Mystic Mock]

The finale wasnt the best Game of Thrones had to offer I dont think,but I liked it because it was different in pace and the cool dragons at the end.

[Mystic Mock]

Im sorry if I was meant to put spoiler tags on the last part lol.

[MTVN]

I've watched all the first season over the last week, it is an amazing series, I think I just presumed it was overrated and wouldnt be that good. Best character:

http://sharetv.org/images/game_of_thrones/cast/large/tyrion_lannister.jpg

I did think the last episode was a little disappointing though, but only in comparison to the one before it, the 9th and the 7th eps were the best imo

Does anyone know when the second series is likely to be due? Guess it wont be for a few months or more

[Locke.]

Tyrion :worship: He is even better in the books.

Season 2 isn't until April 2012

[MTVN]

Tyrion :worship: He is even better in the books.

Season 2 isn't until April 2012

Oh right thought it'd be a while, I'm tempted to read the books, does it ruin it at all knowing what's gonna happen?

[Locke.]

I've only just started the second one now and hadn't read the first when I was watching the show.

It will probably ruin the twists and things but it explains the storylines and characters a lot better than the show has. And every time I googled something to do with the show there would be a spoiler in the suggested search bar.. So I'd rather read it in the book and be shocked than read it on the internet and be pissed off about ruining it

Ok cheers, I think I'll give it a read then. I've also just realised that the guy who plays Tyrion played the little boss guy in Elf, I was trying to remember where I recognised him from the whole time :laugh:

[Mystic Mock]

The actor who plays Tyrion is also in Threshold.

[Locke.]

He is the gay midget in Death at a Funeral :worship:

[Visage]

Finished this series last week, absolutely loved every minute of it .

I'm thinking of watching it again, it's only 10 episodes so won't take up too much time. I was confused in parts so a re-watch is definitely the way to go.

Mt favorite character is also Tyrion, I just love his sarcasm.

[Locke.]

What parts were you confused about?

[Visage]

What parts were you confused about?

It was the first few episodes, I struggle to work out who was related to who. The Starks were easy to follow but the Lannisters were much harder.

Also I found it difficult to figure who was where, only the Starks and Winterfell were clear to me near the beginning.

I grasped it more around ep 4/5

As the stories started to piece together it all started to make sense. Which I why I want to do a re-watch. As much as I loved the whole series I'm really thirsty to watch it again, know what I know now.

[Tom4784]

Yeah I think some of the relationships weren't really presented well enough in the first few episodes, it's probably one of the few flaws I can think of with the series.

[MTVN]

Yeah I did get a bit confused at the start, had to keep thinking about all the different relations the characters had to each other

Bought the first book yesterday as well, gonna start reading it tonight I think :D

[Locke.]

I'm about half way through book 2 and so far it is amazing. Didn't think Season 1 would be topped but it looks like it will be.

[Visage]

I think when you watch a show like GoT where names and places are words you're not familiar with it's harder to take it all in. With the Starks, you had Rob, Jon, Ned, Catelyn, Bran and even King Robert which were easy to follow from their first few scenes.

Like I say though once I was mid-way through it started to come together.

I've just been reading back on this thread and watching the trailers posted (I never check anything out when I'm watching something for the first time) as really whet my appetite.

[Tom4784]

I'm gonna get the book tommorow, I won't read the second one until after series 2 finishes though as then I won't be disappointed when I watch it.

[GypsyGoth]

I watched the final ep a couple of nights ago. I really like the series, but I think it's strange the way characters like Ned Stark and Drogo are gone. I thought they'd be a lot more in it. I guess I've found it very unpredictable, I suppose that's a good thing.

[Locke.]

Ned dying was the most shocking thing i've seen in a tv show before. Was handled much better in the show aswell than in the book. In the book he doesn't notice Arya in the crowd, and because the chapter he dies in is from Arya's POV and she is pulled down by Yoren, his death isn't really described.

It isn't made clear in the show though that Ned is killed by his own sword, that he beheaded the Nights Watch deserter in episode 1 with.

I agree it was shocking, I was sure he'd be saved, and that was why at the end of part 8 you just hear a sound but don't see it happen. I thought someone would have killed the executioner guy.


Is the dwarf guy as good a character in the book?

[Locke.]

Yeah he is just as good.

I think, if he isn't already, that he'll become most peoples favourite character during the second season

[Wildcat!]

Funny. I saved these short series, until it finishes, then I watch them in one go online. I am too impatient, to see the next episode, so I prefer it that way. So Ive watched all of them the past few weeks. Awesome series. My favorite character, is the little swordsman\girl, lol.

You guys would like the Borgias too, if it shows in the UK, I dont know, so check it out, if you like these types of series.

Sean Bean is so type casted since LOTR.. :bored:

Remember the good days when he played Alec Trevelyan

[Visage]

Sean Bean is so type casted since LOTR.. :bored:

Remember the good days when he played Alec Trevelyan

When I saw a small advert for Game of Thrones I was immediately intrigued, it had all the makings of what I love about this type of a series. When I learned Bean was in, I hesitated. I have never enjoyed this actor.

That said I still watched it and crazy as it sounds I loved him in this and my opinion of him really changed.

I too was absolutely shocked and gutted that he was killed off. I had hoped there was going to be a twist because we didn't see it actually happen.

I now realise the importance of his death and why it happened.

[Locke.]

Sean Bean was probably the main reason I started watching

[Visage]

I'm seriously thinking about investing in the books. I simply can't wait until the next season is out.

Problem is when I read books I have this nasty habit of pulling the screen version down.

[Locke.]

I'm about three quarters of the way through Book 2 now. I'd say so far that it is about even with the first (it starts off a lot better but near the middle it is more about building things up and getting characters to where they need to be). I don't know how they are going to go about some things though if they have the same budget as Season 1, because there's a lot of... CGI needed.

There are a couple of main characters from Season 1 that take a backseat aswell and don't really feature for large chunks of it, but you are always aware of where they are and what they are doing, so they'll probably manage to write scenes for them in the show.

[Locke.]

Game of Thrones' executive producer David Benioff has revealed that the show will begin to change from George R R Martin's books in the third season.

Speaking at Comic-Con, Benioff explained that the third novel is too large to cover in one season.

"If we're lucky enough, if we have a season three, that's when it will start not corresponding so neatly to the books because Storm of Swords is too big to do as one season," he said.

"Our hope has always been that we can keep this alive somehow. There's a certain scene - I'm not even going to say the name of the scene because the name itself is a spoiler... Let's call it 'RW'. We've always felt that if we can get to 'RW', then we've accomplished something."

Martin added that he does not want to watch 'RW' on the television as it was so disturbing to write, saying: "When they film it and show it, I'm going to try to arrange to be out of the country during that period and some place that doesn't actually have television yet."

Meanwhile, Benioff also dropped hints about what fans can expect from the upcoming second season of Game of Thrones.

"We have a bunch of great new characters coming in," he said. "We've already got such an incredible cast, but it's time to meet the Red Priestess.

"It's time to see those dragons and wolves start to grow up. There's bad stuff lurking north of the wall. It's a season of exploration."

The second season of Game of Thrones, which will star new cast members Liam Cunningham, Carice van Houten, Stephen Dillane, Natalie Dormer and Gwendoline Christie, is expected to premiere next spring.

[Mystic Mock]

I hope that Stanis and Millasandre are going to be good,I will be intrested in Liam Cunningham playing Davos aswell as Ive heard things about that character.

[Locke.]

The three of them are good characters.

Davos is a point of view character in the book so is more of a main character than the other 2.

[Mystic Mock]

I do love the sound of Millasandre,the actress looks intimidating aswell in that picture that I saw of her on Winter Is Coming.

The actor whoes playing Stanis im not to sure of the look of him,also his more of a theatre actor aswell and thats different type of acting to TV acting,but I hope im wrong.

[Locke.]

He's a good actor he was in the Goal movies.

He doesn't look like how I pictured the character though

[Mystic Mock]

I never saw Goal,but who knows I might be surprised by the actor.

Great casting for Stannis, Davos, and Melisandre. Though this ends my dream casting of John Simm as Davos.

My mum just bought the first book, so ill scrounge that from her when she's finished! :)

[Novo]

I brought the first book read the first 300 pages then stopped reading it.. it was so much like the tv series it felt pointless reading it.

[Lee.]

Was it a good read though?

[Novo]

No it was like reading a script

[Lee.]

Hmm.. I'll still probably give it a go

[Locke.]

A lot of things are different in the first book though

Like when Jory is stabbed through the eye off Jaime, in the book Jaime isn't even involved with the fight he just commands his men to kill them all and take Ned. And when Tyrion is at Winterfell with the instructions for Bran's horse saddle so he can ride, Shaggydog attacks him.

That bit where Robb and Theon kill the wildlings to save Bran is really different aswell, and much better

It makes some things a lot clearer than the show aswell. Like it is only mentioned once in the final episode that Renly has declared himself a King now, and that is something that is mentioned a lot in the book and is really important. And there is hardly any mention of Stannis...

[Novo]

All little pointless things

[Locke.]

Very important things.

Think there is going to be parts of Book 3 brought forward to Season 2 aswell because it is so long.

[SoBig]

One of the best tv shows I've ever watched. Huge fan.

[Locke.]

A tiny bit of casting news, British actor Karl Davies has reportedly been cast to play a character named Alton Lannister. He has been seen on set and his CV confirms it. Davies has appeared on the small screen in the UK in roles in the British soap Emmerdale and more recently in the comedy/drama series Kingdom. This looks to be his first role in a US production.

In the books, there is no Alton Lannister. So it is unclear who Davies may be playing in the show. Reports from the set indicate he may be filling the role of Cleos Frey from the books. Cleos has a Frey father but his mother is a Lannister, so maybe they reversed his parents to give him that last name. In the books, Cleos fights for Jaime Lannister and gets captured by Robb Stark along with Jaime in the Battle of the Whispering Wood. His big role in the story however doesn’t come about until the third book, A Storm of Swords. Assuming Davies is playing the Cleos character, this lends further credence to my theory of them moving up a certain storyline from book three into the second season.

Well this is better than no casting news, I guess. Questions abound though. Who is Davies playing? If it is Cleos, why did they change his name and make him a Lannister? And if it is not supposed to be Cleos, than who is Alton Lannister and what is his role in the story?

He was Andy's brother in Emmerdale

http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/02/550x650_gsblog_karl_davies.jpg

[Josy]

I hated him as Robert in Emmerdale, I hope he's better in this.

[Locke.]

If he is playing the role of Cleos then he isn't that important, he is just a messenger between Robb and Joffrey/Tyrion really

[Josy]

Why wouldnt they just cast him with the same name as the guy in the book though?

[Locke.]

Saves time explaining the back story between the Frey's and the Lannisters.

In the book he is a Frey but somewhere along the line his mum or someone married a Lannister which makes him Jaime's cousin. And he is fighting for the Lannisters at the end of Season 1 when Robb captures Jaime, whereas the rest of the Frey's are fighting for Robb

[Locke.]

I now what the big "RW" scene is that the writers were talking about in that interview I posted on the other page :suspect:

[Locke.]

All the new characters and actors (the bits in spoiler tabs aren't really spoilers, they just explain who the character is)

Character: Stannis Baratheon

http://tvovermind.zap2it.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20100127_dillane_250x3751-200x300.jpg

Stannis is the younger brother of the late King Robert and the older brother of the self-declared King Renly. Of everyone in Westeros, Stannis has the best claim to the throne, considering that the newly crowned King Joffrey is actually the bastard son of Robert's wife Cersei and her twin brother Jaime.

Stannis isn't very congenial, and isn't very well-liked. He is counseled by the mysterious and dangerous Lady Melisandre, a priestess of a new and powerful religion who isn't afraid to use her mystical powers to Stannis's gain.

Character: Lady Melisandre

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_carice_van_houtenlarge_image-1-230x300.jpg

She's probably the most-talked-about new character of the second season: Lady Melisandre is as mysterious as she is dangerous. Known as the "Red Priestess," Melisandre worships the 'Lord of Light,' a deity known as R'hllor, through whom she can apparently perform feats of magic. Melisandre serves as an advisor to King Stannis and almost never leaves his side. A proponent of eradicating the old religions of Westeros and replaceing them with her new one, Melisandre believes that R'hllor wants Stannis to gain the Iron Throne, and she'll do anything -- and kill anyone -- to get him there.

Character: Davos Seaworth

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/liam-cunningham11-208x300.jpg

Davos is also known by his nickname "The Onion Knight," which he received after he smuggled various foods (including onions) to Stannis Baratheon during the siege of Storm's End. Stannis granted him a knighthood, but also commanded that Davos pay for his crimes by losing digits off each finger of his left hand. Seeing wisdom in Stannis's justice, Davos became one of Stannis's most loyal followers and one of his most trusted advisors, going so far as to wear the bones of his severed digits in a bag around his neck for luck.

By the time season 2 starts, Stannis has declared himself king, and Davos is growing wearing of Lady Melisandre, who is attempting to eradicate the traditional religion of the Seven and replace it with worship of her god, R'hllor, the Lord of Light. It's through Davos's eyes that we'll see the storylines of Stannis and Melisandre.

Character: Jeyne Westerling

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Sicilian+Defence+Milan+Photocall+2Di0U6MoSuBl-199x300.jpg

It's likely that we'll be seeing more of Robb Stark in the second season of Game of Thrones than we did in the second book of the series, which is why we're getting introduced to Jeyne Westerling much earlier than we were in the books. Robb meets Jeyne after he is wounded in battle and she tends to him. Yes, this story is going exactly where you think it is.

The producers have promised us a love story for the show's second season, and the dynamic between Robb and Jeyne is that love story. There's something standing in the way of their happiness, though: Robb's already engaged in a political betrothal with a girl from House Frey. Expect dramatic tension to result.

Character: Alton Lannister

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Karl-Davies.jpg

Well, here's the thing: nobody really knows who he is. Alton Lannister isn't a character in any of the five existing A Song of Ice and Fire books. The best guess of most fans is that Alton will fill the role of Cleos Frey from the books. Frey, who doesn't come into importance until the third book, is the result of a Lannister/Frey marriage, and it could be likely that Alton Lannister is the result of the writers wanting to put a stress on his Lannister heritage. If he is filling the role of Cleos, it's likely that we'll see him as a prisoner of war alongside Jaime Lannister in Robb Stark's camp when the second season starts. He is of lesser importance to the Lannisters than Jaime, of course, but his Lannister heritage still holds weight with his family.

Character: Brienne of Tarth

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/110708gwendoline-christie11-206x300.jpg

Also known as the Warrior-Maid of Tarth, and (derisively) Brienne the Beauty, Brienne is a freakishly tall and uncannily ugly aspiring knight, who comes to serve Lord Renly as part of his Rainbow Guard (yes, one of Westeros's few gay characters employs a 'Rainbow Guard'). Brienne secretly harbors affections for Renly, though he either is oblivious to them or chooses to ignore them. Despite this attraction, however, Brienne is more than a competent knight -- however, don't expect that to gain her any respect in the male-dominated society of Westeros.

Character: Roose Bolton

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/michael-mcelhatton-1.jpg

Roose Bolton is a nasty character. While he's a liege lord of the King in the North Robb Stark, that doesn't make him a good person. He's quite ruthless and cunning, despite appearing normal and mild-mannered. The Game of Thrones equivalent of a health freak, Bolton undergoes leechings to 'cleanse' himself, and as such gains the name "The Leech Lord." He has a bastard son, Ramsay, who's even more ruthless than he is. Of the characters we've met in the first season, Bolton will most likely interact with Arya Stark the most during the show's sophomore season.

Character: Xaro Xhoan Daxos

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/13131312081-208x300.jpg

Daenerys, after the death of her Sun-and-Stars, Khal Drogo, will move on to the merchant city of Quarth, where she intends to look for ways to travel back to Westeros -- after she's built up an army with which to do so. One of the characters she'll meet from Qarth is the elaborately named Xaro Xhoan Daxos, a Qartheen merchant who owns the ships that Daenerys needs. He'll offer her guidance as she faces various challenges, though he doesn't exactly come off as the most trustworthy character.

Character: Jaqen H'ghar

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/542060-tom_wlaschiha_02_super1-218x300.jpg

Much like the actor who portrays him, Jaqen H'ghar doesn't have the easiest name to spell. But phonetics isn't the only mystery surrounding the character of H'ghar, who we glimpsed briefly in the season one finale. We didn't see his face, of course; he was shrouded under a hood. He was also chained in a cage with two other nasty-looking characters.

H'ghar is part of Arya Stark's season two storyline, and he's one of the reasons that it's one of the most interesting arcs of the season. It's really difficult to say anything more without spoiling some plot details, so I'll just say this: he'll probably be one of the characters you talk about all season long.

Character: Margaery Tyrell

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/natalie-dormer-197x300.jpg

Margaery Tyrell is the bride of the self-proclaimed King Renly Baratheon. This very political marriage allied the powerful House Tyrell with Renly, making his claim to the throne even more divisive for Westeros. It should be no surprise that Margaery's marriage with Renly is loveless; Renly is carrying on an affair with Margaery's brother Loras, "The Knight of Flowers." While that relationship was only hinted at in the book series, it was blatantly shown in the show's first season, which could possibly give the relationship between Renly, Margaery, and Loras a different angle than it had in the book.

Character: Yara Greyjoy

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/game-of-thrones-casts-gemma-whelan-as-theon-s-sister1-240x300.jpg

In the books, her name is Asha Greyjoy. She's Theon Greyjoy's long-lost sister. Well, rather, Theon is her long-lost brother. She's a clever, cunning, and fierce warrior who commands her own fleet of ships. Raised by her father as an heir, Yara will clash with Theon after their unusual reunion.

Character: Craster

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/MV5BMTM2ODAwOTg0MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDU2ODg1MQ@@._ V1._SX214_CR00214314_-204x300.jpg

Craster's a nasty fellow, one of the nastiest we'll meet on Game of Thrones. He's a wildling who lives north of the wall, and though he is hospitable to the traveling members of the Night's Watch, that doesn't mean he is by any stretch of the imagination a good person. Let me put it to you this way: his family has more incest than the Lannisters.

Craster has nineteen wives, most of whom are his own daughters. You read that right. Whenever he has a new daughter, he waits for her to grow up before she becomes his wife, too. And his sons... Well, he very mysteriously doesn't have any sons.

Character: Gilly

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/hannah-murray-200x300.jpg

One of Craster's daughters is a girl named Gilly. Pregnant with Craster's child, Gilly is afraid of what her father-husband will do if she gives birth to a son -- according to her, he'll take it into the wilderness and sacrifice it. She pleads with Samwell Tarly for help, and he agrees, sending her to Jon Snow, much to the latter's annoyance.

Character: "Dolorous Edd" Tollett

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/544708-ben_crompton_super1-204x300.jpg

Edd is a sad-sack member of the Night's Watch who ventures north of the wall with Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and Jon Snow. He's a minor character at best, but he injects a little bit of humor into the bleak, snow-covered scenes he's in.

Think of him as Game of Thrones' Eeyore.

Character: Hallyne the Pyromancer

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/roy-3-2004-227x300.jpg

ut of all of these new characters, there haven't been any additions to the King's Landing side of the story, where Joffrey has just been crowned king. Tyrion Lannister is on his way to serve as Hand of the King at his father's behest, and one of his duties as Hand will be to ensure that King's Landing has proper defenses for the sure-to-come battles with the rival, self-declared kings.

To do this, Tyrion will employ pyromancer Hallyne to create a secret weapon that will turn the tide of battle should it ever come to be used. As head of the Alchemist's Guild, Hallyne agrees to help Tyrion with this new weapon, which, as you guessed from Hallyne's title, will involve fire.

Character: Maester Cressen

http://cdn.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/OliverFordDavies.jpg

We'll be introduced to Stannis Baratheon, Lady Melisandre, and Davos Seaworth through the eyes of the aging Maester Cressen, an advisor to King Stannis who, in the first scene of the book, struggles against Lady Melisandre for Stannis's favor. After Cressen is humiliated for his efforts, he concocts a scheme to once again become the King's most trusted advisor -- though things don't turn out the way he would have hoped thanks to the power of Lady Melisandre.

Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) won the Emmy last night :worship:

Iu8pSihUJvM

[Roy Mars III]

A great win. Very well deserved.

[Dilligaf]

How did i miss this thread when i joined >.<

Game of Thrones has EASILY been the best tv of the year for me. In fact, i would go as far as to say i can not remember a better made series.

Peter Dinklage more than deserves his Emmy. He is supreme in the role as Tyrion Lannister.

[Dilligaf]

I adore this series, every week it just gets better and better. I'm quite intrigued to see where they go next with....Dynearis? Not sure how you spell her name but in the last episode she was shown to have some sort of power of flame resistance.


That was very well spotted. It took me ages to make that link. Right up until she took the dragons egg from the burning embers in episode 7 or so.

[Dilligaf]

I quite like the Dothraki meself, I hope they do more with Jon though he's one of the best characters in it but he's not actually done much.

Apparently in season 2 he has a very big role. I can him teaming up with Daeneris or something.

[Dilligaf]

Dungeons and dragons was ok but this sucks i was urged to watch and gave it a chance but it is utter tripe.
I am trying to fill the LOST sized hole but this doesnt come anywhere close for me :(

You are officially the first person i have ever seen say this was poor :shocked:

[Locke.]

Yeah Jon is one of the big characters in Season 2, probably has the best storyline

[Dilligaf]

Joffrey is a twincest little ****er that must die after what he did in that last episode.

Although the actor has done a good job bringing this out of me and alot of us Game of thrones fans.

I hated the little so-and-so for soooo long but i had to give him credit in the last couple of episodes and now he has the excellent Tyrion down at kings Landing to slap him silly again :)

[Dilligaf]

It was a good epsiode but not a great finale, I think the main problem with this series is that all in all it didn't feel like a complete narrative, That episode felt more like a mid series episode rather then a finale. Is that where the book ends?

In other news is Cersei trying to work her way through her whole family or what?! :laugh:

Daeneris sits in a bonfire all night and emerges with 3 dragons clinging to her...That was deffo enough of a finale for me :)

[Dilligaf]

A tiny bit of casting news, British actor Karl Davies has reportedly been cast to play a character named Alton Lannister. He has been seen on set and his CV confirms it.

I think he will be brilliant as a Lannister. He's a snidey, scheming, evil weasel type actor. Perfect for the role.

They've been filming for a couple of months now but only certain characters have filmed scenes (Robb, Theon, Catelyn, and Jaime, that I know of).. Will probably be about 3-4 months before we get a trailer with new scenes in

Two Game of Thrones stars are reportedly competing for the same role in Warner Bros' new fantasy epic Arthur & Lancelot.

Kit Harington, who plays Lord Jon Snow in the HBO series, was said to have had a screen test for the role of Arthur in October and has now been recalled for a second test.

The Hollywood Reporter adds that co-star Richard Madden, who portrays Robb Stark, is now also in the running and is working on securing a test deal for the part.

RocknRolla star Toby Kebbell is also in line to test for the coveted role, while Joel Kinnaman is said to be in final negotiations to portray Lancelot.

Arthur & Lancelot is being directed by David Dobkin, who has also penned the project's script.

Watch a clip featuring both Kit Harington and Richard Madden in Game of Thrones below:

Let's hope that Richard Madden gets the part

After playing the bastard Jon Snow on HBO's "Game of Thrones," Kit Harington looks ready to display his sword-wielding skills yet again, as Warner Bros. has tapped him for the role of King Arthur in "Arthur and Lancelot."

A schedule is still being worked out, but once that is resolved, Harington should be able to jump into the role and begin shooting in early 2012. Joel Kinniman is already in place to play Lancelot with David Dobkin on board to write and direct.


Richard must have stepped aside and let him get the part.

Think I will rewatch season 1 sometime this week, read a recap on Clash of Kings and Storm of Swords, and then start Feast for Crows

Can't wait now

[Visage]

I'm really looking forward to season 2

[Locke.]

With Game of Thrones: Season 2 premiering in the spring, rumors are growing that HBO is planning to renew the hit series for both a third and fourth season soon and to also shoot those seasons back-to-back. WinterisComing reports that they have heard from multiple sources that HBO is working on this plan and that much of the Game of Thrones crew in Ireland have been told to expect a nine month production schedule next year.

This would make a lot of sense, given that the producers of the series have already noted they plan to split the third book, A Storm of Swords, into two TV seasons. That being the case, the back-to-back production would presumably allow them to film the events of that entire book, which would then air over the course of two years. This would likely be cost-efficient for the expensive series, allowing them to not have to return to certain locations more than once or to stop and start up production again.

http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/121/1213697p1.html

Brilliant news. If they manage to make series 3/4 as good as Storm of Swords then it should be the best Season of a TV show I'll have ever seen

[Visage]

Game of Thrones will return to Sky Atlantic on Monday, April 2.

The premiere has been scheduled for 9pm, meaning that it will broadcast in the UK less than 24 hours after it airs on HBO in the US.

Lena Headey, who plays Cersei on the fantasy drama, teased that the second run will be "even more crazy" and "exciting".

Natalie Dormer, Liam Cunningham, Hannah Murray, Robert Pugh, Michael McElhatton and Patrick Malahide are among the actors who have signed up for this season's instalments of Game of Thrones.

The show's first run aired last year to critical acclaim. Peter Dinklage won an Emmy and Golden Globe Award for his turn as Tyrion Lannister.

Sky Atlantic recently picked up Showtime's House of Lies starring Don Cheadle. The channel also intends to air the first two seasons of American football drama Friday Night Lights starting from February

[Locke.]

Great news, just 24 hours behind so I'll probably just wait instead of downloading

[Visage]

Yeah, I thought the same, by the time it's available and downloaded it'll be aired over here.

I'm really looking forward to this, I might watch the first season again at the end of March.

A look beyond the wall

KONYVXbFiR4#!

Looks amazing :amazed: Great to finally see Qhorin aswell, one of my favourite characters introduced in book 2

[Visage]

Great insight. It always fascinates the work that goes into making something like this.

Littlefinger going ham at the start of the trailer, best character ever

[Josy]

Are they doing stuff from the second and third book in this series?

[Roy Mars III]

this season is just book 2

I think they will be spliting book 3 into two seasons, which is the rumor going around atm. I think it fits. There is so much stuff in book 3 and it would fit 2 seasons better than 1

[King Gizzard]

my download has little squares everywhere like a grid :bored:

oh my god, that girl with the blue eyes in the first episode D:

[Tom4784]

Daenerys? Girl with white blonde hair? She is pretty gorgeous.

[King Gizzard]

No, the little scary girl in the woods

[Tom4784]

Ah, I didn't read what you said properly.

[King Gizzard]

There's already been 493438 pairs of boobs and i'm 3/4's the way in the first episode

Game of Thrones has become HBO's most successful first week DVD release of all-time.

The adaptation of the George RR Martin fantasy series has sold over 350,000 units in the first seven days, reports Reuters.

Game of Thrones' record beats previous hit HBO series including Sex and the City, The Sopranos and True Blood.

The TV show's first season, which starred Emilia Clarke, Sean Bean and Peter Dinklage, averaged 9.3 million viewers in the US and was Sky Atlantic's biggest-rated hit of 2011 in the UK.

Near enough everything by HBO is great, best channel ever

[Mystic Mock]

I can't wait for this to come back. I'm a little bit in love with Daenerys.

Your not the only one in love with Daenerys lol.

[King Gizzard]

I just find Dany a bit odd looking, each to their own I guess

[Locke.]

She looks better in real life with black hair

[King Gizzard]

Need to find that gif again of the girl who flashes Jory

[Mystic Mock]

She looks better in real life with black hair

She wouldn't stand out as much if she had black hair though.

[Locke.]

The great Robb is with her in real life I think

[King Gizzard]

Does Samwell have a bigger part in this series, he better do

[Locke.]

Yeah he becomes more prominent as it goes on

[King Gizzard]

Good stuff

[Mystic Mock]

The great Robb is with her in real life I think

His one lucky man if it's true.
