So from this..

Spoiler:

Episode 6 will contain Loras' trial, Sansa's wedding, Littlefinger & Olenna back in King's Landing (that was fast.......), lots of Dorne, more Arya training

Episode 7 - Winter finally comes, looks like some serious stuff goes down in Stannis' camp, some fighting in Meereen

Episode 8 - Jon and the Wildlings fight the Wights/White Walkers beyond the Wall (this is apparently the biggest battle sequence they've ever shot on the show)

Episode 9/10 - Jaime meets with Doran/Elia, Jorah is back with Daenerys, the fighting pits are reopened, Draznak's pit

[Locke.]

Just watched Episode 6

Spoiler:

Good episode! Well, for the most part.

The Dorne storyline is absolutely stupid. "I don't want to start a war" was Jaime's reasons for doing this, so he strolls into the Dorne and intends on kidnapping the Princess of the Seven Kingdom's, that in itself would start a war, but adding on top of that having no extraction plan at all just makes it a death wish (and let's just forget about Bronn punching Trystane, a Prince of Dorne).

Sansa's wedding and the bedding was very tense, I'm glad they toned it down a bit from the books (where a dickless Theon is forced to join in, not just watch). The acting was great here. Loved how Theon FINALLY referred to himself as Theon in this episode too, the transformation back into himself is finally underway. Jorah finding out his father died was a nice touch, and the Tyrell trial scene was pretty good. I reckon they'll have Loras executed soon, and have Margaery's trial in the final episode or two.

Only just watched episode 5... oh Jorah

[Smithy]

Wait David WHAT @ him joining in the books

[Smithy]

That ep felt a bit slow tbh, the last scene was so tense

Ramsay forces Reek to lick her out

"Reek (although he heard his name, Theon, called in the Godswood), is escorted to the bedding chamber. Forced to cut of Jeyne's gown, and small clothes, Jeyne is subjected to humiliation, the reveal of the scars from whipping on her back and the beginning of a sexual assault, before she can utter that she was "trained." (page 567, ADWD) She is then orally assaulted by Reek, prior to Ramsay bedding her.

She is then known only by those at Winterfell by the bruises on her body, and her sobs echoing through the castle."

[Smithy]

Oh I thought you meant in the upcoming book

[Tom4784]

Spoiler:

It was a decent episode, I'm glad Olenna's back.

Not sure where they're going with the Dorne plot, it all feels a bit underdeveloped at the moment. The last scene was quite horrible to watch, I hope Sansa gets her revenge when Stannis get round to attacking Winterfell.

The Faith stuff is really annoying, I want Tommen to grow a backbone already.

[Smithy]

Also did we all pick up on the not so subtle hint

Spoiler:

that the hound is still alive, I hope comes back into it soon, maybe meets brienne again

[MTVN]

Arya's story is laaammee, that episode only improved once it moved away from there really. The King's Landing story continues to be good, smart stuff by Cersei but it does just mean she has an ever shrinking power base

Also do people mind saying if their spoiler is safe to read for a tv viewer when they post them, I normally just assume they're not but am not sure with comments that are posted about episodes before it airs here

[Josy]

Was that Mr Eko

Spoiler:

J'haquen whipped her everytime she said hated the hound, implying that she was lying, hated being the past tense because she thinks he's dead, he's alive so she should be saying she hates him as apposed to hated

I think the implication in that scene was that she ended up liking him in the end despite her longing to keep hating him. I don't think it was hinting anything else tbh.

Yeah that's what i thought too

episode spoiler :

Spoiler:

That episode was so good though, I agree that the Dorne storyline is a bit crap although I love watching the scenary from there, I'd want to live in Dorne if I had to pick an area I still like the Arya story, probably because she's my favourite character but the Kingslanding/Winterfell storys are better atm. that last scene eek, poor Sansa, I really hope she gets her revenge on Ramsay, he has to be the most evil character in the whole thing

Spoiler:

I also enjoyed the episode overall as I always look forward to Arya's story line. The one part I was disappointed in was the Sand Snakes. How weak they came across compared to the book. The whole fight scene was meh. Also, I am finally warming to Sansa Stark, she finally has a personality!! And loving the forshadowing of Cersei's demise as well. This season has been better so far than I had hope with all the off season banter about it.

Spoiler:

Yeah I agree, I've throughly enjoyed every episode, shame the seasons are so short though. I agree about the Sandsnakes too, they were far better in the book. And yeah I'm starting to like Sansa alot more now too. Oh and that scene with Littlefinger and Cersei, he's the dark horse in all this you know, i could somehow see him end up o the iron Throne sneaky little snake that he is. he's engineered almost all the conflicts since the start, like a game of chess

I both hate and love JRR Martin at this point for his brilliance in creating this story. Starting out with the Stark family and having most chapters from their perspectives made me fall in love with them... only to lead me to their eventual demise and the rise of such characters as Littlefinger lol.

It's like reading Anne of Green Gables where suddenly Anne is sent back to the orphanage and Josie Pie becomes the main character and Marries Gilbert

Lol that brilliant Bastard

[Niamh.]

I've come to terms with the fact that the book will be behind the TV series now and am looking forward to not knowing what will happen next. I just hope he makes the books (if he ever finishes writing them) different enough to keep me reading them

I know, I was thinking about this in terms of Sansa this week. Now if seems her personality is changing and I am liking her... is this JRR Martin's intention for her character and personality, or is she being written this fierce by some tv script writer for the ratings....

I put off watching this season at first b/c I was really torn about book of tv series, but I am glad I am watching it now because it is so well done and I am such a fan... I just hope the books aren't ruined for me after this

re Sansa - Book Spoiler

Spoiler:

Yeah, that's a good question, you could definitely see her personality changing in the books but they've now massively changed her storyline in the TV Series by making her the one married to and abused by Ramsay. It'll be hard to see how Book Sansa and TV Series Sansa end up in the same place with the same personality when they've now had completely different experiences to eachother
