Any more would be spoiling too much for you, even with spoiler tags!   [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 One thing I'm happy about is non-book readers all seem to have a shocked/excited reaction to the ending. I was worried it would get a bunch of "jumped the shark"-like comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried it would get a bunch of "jumped the shark"-like comments. Â Yeah, likewise. A lot of people got into Game of Thrones under the proviso "I hate orcs and wizards and shit! " with the understanding there was no magic (or 'low magic' as it's termed), and it was basically a medieval setting, with no goblins firing lightning out of their dicks. Now there's a season of awesomeness out of the way, people are thankfully willing to buy into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 Why the fuck did I not realise Jerome Flynn was in this?? Having watched him by the Imp's side for both series, it took my wife to point it out to me. Â He's starting to pay off his debt for Up On The Roof keeping Wonderwall off the #1 spot.

Keith Houchen Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm off sick at the mo so have given this another chance. The two posts above are pretty much what I was going to post. Plus that redheaded witch lady thing is pretty foxy. Although I wish Lily Allens rat faced brother would fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried it would get a bunch of "jumped the shark"-like comments. Â A couple of my mates actually got into it because they expected more of the ghosty supernatural stuff based on the trailers and based on the opening scene of series 1 where Royce's group meet the White Walkers, so they're keen to see how far it goes, having not read the books. Also they want more dragons. Â But then. these are men that rank the quality of the three Jurassic Park films solely on the amount of dinosaurs in them.

cobystag Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yet again another excellent episode.

Also Arya killing The Tickler in the books is so awesome and powerful, yet he's one of the three no-name characters (really) that Arya has Hagar kill   [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I'm too cut up about it, they were a bit rubbish as characters anyway. As for Arya, I see your point regarding the Tickler but I don't really mind any changes they make to Arya's overall story - once she heads off to Braavos, which I know won't be for ages, it all started getting a bit silly, so anything that might alter her course is okay with me. There'll be no cutting out of her tag team with the Hound, though, I hope.  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
