Game of Thrones *Beware of Spoilers*
 

Do my eyes deceive me? No Game of Thrones thread? Blasphemy, I say.

Well, as of starting this thread we're in the beginning of season four. What do you like about the show, how were the latest episodes? How are you handling your grieving over the red wedding? Do we still need to hire counselors?

Anyway, at this point we have finally seen

I am both thrilled and sad about this. I love to hate a good asshole.

A GENERAL RULE ABOUT SPOILERS FOR THIS THREAD:
If it happened within the week's episode, put it in [hide][/hide] tags. If it happened two episodes ago or more then don't worry about it.

If you're coming into this thread know that you're shit out of luck with spoilers unless you're caught up to the last episode. SO, don't read on until you are caught up or if you don't give a crud about reading spoilers.

In response to the thing you've put in spoiler tags: guess whose pretty face is set as my desktop background right now? xD The make-up artists did a great job with that scene if I may say so! Also, I was told the most recent wedding is referred to in the books as the purple wedding; how cute is that?

I've liked the first few episodes of the season. I'm excited to see more of Daenerys and worried for the rest of the characters since things aren't really looking great for anybody. ><

Hahaha, oh my Vox, that's gruesome but awesome at the same time. And yes, they did a wonderful job with that makeup. He looked downright dead. The actor played the scene well, too. I've always wondered how actors can perfect a death scene so well. And yep, that wedding is the purple wedding! Named by the book fans rather than Martin himself who actually did call the red wedding the red wedding.

I am still upset over the loss of Robb last season, so this season has been bittersweet to me so far. As I've been telling everyone who will listen I think it's time for Daeny to get her butt out of the desert. I'm going to be excited if she does. [yes] But yeah, I am interested to see who dies this season beyond who just did. Also, I want to see the white walkers.

It's best I don't post, as I have read all the books, and have actually kidnapped George R Martin, and torturing him to write the rest of the books, and I know I'll accidentally give spoilers! All I'm going to say is I can't wait for the next book, and I'm hoping for some serious ninja, assassin, sword wielding, merciless, warg powered butt kicking from Arya!

Winds of winter! Bring it on!

Okay excerpt from new book coming out!!

Excerpt from the Winds of Winter | George R.R. Martin

Aw, I got excited about a new release, then I saw that the excerpt was published in January 2013. [lol]

Tease!

And we finally see some white walkers! I don't really consider that a spoiler. I'm quite happy about it! They are such cool looking creatures in the show and I want to know what they're going to do.

Revive-age!!!!!

Anyone see the latest episode? Eh eh??? [ninja]

I saw it. I died. [drool]

That was by far the best episode this season I thought, except for the Joffrey episode at the very beginning.

Love the series ^^
Can't wait to see what season 5 brings~
Suppose I can start to read the books while waiting maybe :P

I am so excited for season five everything so far in Game of Thrones has been amazing! despite all the deaths. I also own four of the books and did start the second one. As for the red wedding so sad but no counselors required.

WHEN WILL WE HAVE SEASON 5!!!!!!!!!!! D:

Lol, I imagine next April, Belle.

When will the next book come out?! [gonk]

Now that is a question only the great god GRRM knows. XD

Yeah only he knows that it gives me time to catch up on the books.

After 48 hours of not sleeping, I made it through the pilot to season 4 finale.

@Bartuc: So do you think Daenerys has no room left for character development or are you just interested in the Stark family?

Also, I agree about Sansa. No matter how many people defend her to me I have always disliked her intensely.

(Warning, spoilers!!)

Sansa is kind of "meh", but I can sympathize with her position. If she wasn't so darn passive she probably would be dead by now. (Arya would have been killed in Kings Landing had she stayed since you know she would have attempted to kill Joffrey.) But from now on Sansa has room to grow as a character since she's no longer under the thumb of someone who could have her killed - save for Little Finger, of course, but she knows he wants her alive.

I agree that I'm not terribly interested in Bran's (aka "the cripple kid") storyline, but I do think it serves a purpose of reminding the viewers that the story takes place in a fantasy land. His story is a big contrast to the gritty battles and political intrigue going on in the other storylines.

I wasn't super interested in the people at The Wall either, but things have gotten a bit more interesting now that Stannis arrived.

I didn't like The Wall much until this season. Jon was one of my least favorite characters, but now that everyone else is dead he's moved up a little bit. [lol] I really liked all of the drama that went down at The Wall this season so I'm excited to see more of it.

Bran's story line is kinda like Daenerys' to me. The only difference is that he gets hauled around by Hodor and does nothing while Daenerys walks around deserts and does nothing. Bran has finally found the three eyed crow at least...

I am looking forward to seeing what Sansa does now that she's gone dark. I don't have the slightest clue what's going to happen to her.

Bran's storyline is one that I think works better in the books. A lot of his story is, yeah, being carried around or chilling in his dreams. Not the most interesting of visual character arcs.

I can't wait to see what happens with Sansa, both in the show and in the books. She's easily one of my favorite characters after Jaime and Tyrion.

I was holding a big interest in Daenerys' story line up until the last season where it was like "Hey.. uhm yeah dont care anymore about the throne." Put her in the fight. We have seen her whored out by her brother. We have seen her get accepted into the new group. We have seen her dragons flourish. We have seen her obtain an army. We have seen her turn to a heartless war-queen. It is time for her to get into the fight. I don't think it will happen next season, but I do see the season finale putting her into the position where she will be arriving in the heartland of the conflict. When they do that there will be room for building but really, what left is there to build on aside from a relationship with her close advisers and possibly her army?

Sansa's colors showed early on but they flourished in the last couple episodes of this last season. There is more to build on her, but honestly I cant see anything aside from the dark-path side of her to come out as a ruthless, maybe similar to Ceries' character.

Now, I am actually really interested in Jaime and his manly-woman interest! I was disappointed in him and his sisters.. reunion. I still think Jaime has his personal conflict because you could tell he changed a lot from when he was captured to returned home, aside from his missing body part.

Don't get me wrong with Bran, there was alot of interest with him. It was when they took the journey to the tree it was like, come on now. They drew little effort, I felt into him so they bunched everything together in 3-4 minute segments, with maybe 1-2 an episode. I just feel that that it is the Lanister's that are getting most of the story arc show. Arya is starting to get less now since joining with Hound but in the small segiments she is in it shows a growth in the character vs a dream and a talk about the dream as with her brother.

I think that Bran's story is very fascinating, and the wall has had alot going on especially since Sam and John returned from it. I'm glad everyone's caught up on the story now. Sansa hasn't been my favorite person ever since that whole ordeal with her and Arya's wolf.

Uhg, I wish sansa would have made it onto Arya's kill list for that.
