[Game of Thrones] Season 1 (spoiler-free discussion)

Was Loras Tyrell the Ricky Martin of the Realm? Making googily eyes at Sansa. He has the physique of a twelve year old boy. No way he took down the Mountain like that.

 

I can find it. Pointing out that it (and the other thread) are titled in a way that makes searching for them hard.

Littlefinger points out that Loras used a mare in heat, which made the Mountain's stallion skittish and the Mountain off-balance. Sansa says that Loras is too honorable to do that, then Littlefinger says there is a lot of gold in dishonor (Loras cheated).

I've read the books and am really enjoying the series so far. I think they've done a good job with the changes that inevitably have to be made and have thrown a TON of bones at the book readers to keep them (mostly) happy.

Because I've read the books, I know what's going on. How are all the non-book readers enjoying it? Is it interesting? Easy (or hard) to follow? I guess this thread is kind of a biased group as you probably wouldn't be here if you didn't like the show but I'm still curious.

 

I really like this show. It was a bit slow the first few episodes, but the last one really picked up. The only problem I have is when they're referencing other characters and I can't pick up who or what they're talking about. I loved Rome and give that an A. I would give GOT a B so far.

 

I wanna say that I'm not going to watch it since it'll be a long 2 weeks before the next new episode but I know I'm gonna watch both back to back.

mleahy999 - Got the same problem. I never read any of the books so the character references can be confusing at times, especially when a new character is introduced right away. Enjoying the series though.

 

As others have said... go to hbo.com. They have a handy web-page spelling out the background on characters in the show, etc. without any "spoilers."

 

Ok, here's my non-spoiler speculation. I haven't read the books, so any neckbeard that has would do well NOT to confirm or deny this, because I DON'T WANNA KNOW. Again, this is NOT a spoiler, just speculation:

Theon Greyjoy framed Tyrion. He has access to the castle, he's not fond of the Lannisters or Starks, and he comes from a family of rabble-rousers. Jory tells us the Greyjoys like their bloodshed. Hell, maybe he's even pissed he didn't get his own direwolf.

 

I'm watching with my wife, who has not read the book. I was really excited about the series and she watched with me kind of to placate me since I wanted to share the experience with her.
She's not into fantasy stuff but since this is political/relationship drama stuff she is really loving it. I do explain the scenes to her and remind her of the characters etc, so that makes it easier for her to follow.

 

Jory also said Theon was a good lad, and it doesn't seem like Theon has a lot of hate in him, considering the circumstances.

 

Damn it, is this fan art based off actual events? Spoiler free thread...

 

Don't worry none of these are spoilers, all of this has happend in the tv series (the last picture is of the rebellion that made King Robert the king).

 

The Jon Snow picture has spoiler text.

 

Yeah, I'll wait for that. I don't care to watch an epic series on my phone or PC. That's why I paid an obscene amount of money for my Samsung LED.
