Game of Thrones Season 3 Running Thread

Gee, have you watched "The Walking Dead"?

No, I've tried twice to watch the first episode, and I have fallen asleep both times.

 

This Lannister is having trouble paying her debts:

Maybe Bronn can help her out with money from his previous career:

Is this show really that unpopular that we don't have a week 2 post yet? Among this gaggle of nerds?


Strong episode this week, I thought - I've read the books, and the anticipation for things to come is killing me.

Still - there was some material that strayed a bit too much from the source. The speech Cat Stark gives to Rob's wife - the premise behind that isn't from the book, right?

 

The guy playing Jojen Reed also played Liam Neeson's stepson in Love Actually.

Loved having Arya back.

Bran/Rickon/etc. I can generally do without, but it was good to see that others share his Westeros equivalent of "The Shining."

And that Maergery is pretty sharp, appealing to Joffrey's sadistic side the way she did.

 

SPOILERS AHOY, NON-READERS


































I don't believe that Cat mentioned those feelings regarding Jon in the books. Hell, for that matter, Robb's wife didn't exist in the books, either.

 

MORE SPOILER-TYPE STUFF BELOW, NON-READERS!

Rob's wife is in the book, just not as explicitly as she has been in the show.

 

So far, been kind of dull.

 

Thought it was a pretty good episode again.

Did they switch actors between Season 2 and 3 for the runaway Stark Brothers? If not, they both went through a hell of a growth spurt it seems.

 

Definitely the same kids ... but yeah, they've grown, as has Arya.

 

Not under that name. And fuck that as a spoiler. It spoils nothing.

 

Thanks, when I first saw them again last night I was like, holy growth spurt at first and then wondering if they were the same kids.
