No kidding. I was all hyped for Robb's bold plan to take Casterly Rock while Tywin was away in King's Landing. The "oh shit" moment for me is when Caitlyn noticed Roose Bolton was wearing chain mail under his clothes and they started playing Rains of Castamere.
I didn't get the songs importance at the time. I didn't even understand what was going on until the first arrows were shot against the Starks. I thought Roose's chain mail could have been because at the last minute a plot was uncovered against parties unknown.
One of the differences about this show is their willingness to kill off key characters at any time. The status and circumstance of many people are always on a razors edge.
My friend came over and watched it shortly after. As soon as the doors closed, he said: "Oh. Everyone is about to get killed, right?"
Good question, why do we need two threads?
Yes, "friend." Your jokes aren't really funny.your "friend"
Honestly, you asking this question after all of the feedback you have received today is the reason we need two threads.

While Ichinisan (my brother) is single, Casey Witcher (our friend) is in a committed relationship with Jennifer Witcher (his wife). Insinuating that he has a same-sex "friend" that's more than a friend is a pathetic attempt at LOLs, if that's even what you were going for.
I only need this thread.
Book readers only need that one. I have no idea why book readers want to participate in our speculation in this thread.
Because the other thread has been taken over by the whining about being banished from this one.

A lot of TV-connecting streaming devices support HBO Go. I already know you'd be opposed to Apple TV. Does anyone know if PS3 / Roku / Fire TV / Chromecast supports it?
Chromecast is only $35, by the way...
I didn't know who the Bolton guy was at that moment. Just some other random Englishman #6 to me at that time. In the next episode, when he is talking to the old fart, I actually thought that was Stark's nephew--the incompetent shit that lucked out and married the hottie (Enlighsman #4--I still don't know his name; and he wasn't killed, right? Did we even see that?)
PS3 and XBox 360 have HBO Go and I think Roku does as well. Amazon Fire TV is supposed to get it by the end of the year . HBO Go apparently supports ChromeCast via iOS, Andriod and Web apps: http://chrome.blogspot.com/2013/11/hbo-go-now-works-with-chromecast.html
Edit: PS3 just got HBO Go LAST MONTH. They are so freaking slow getting that app to new platforms. Good luck seeing it on PS4 or XBox One any time soon. Hope I'm wrong, but...

I believe the old pervert frey mentioned in a later episode that the guy whose wedding it was for is in prison so he should still be alive.
But yea we saw Bolton a few times before talking to the king alone so you figured he had to be one of the top guys of the north but he really doesn't get much screen time or background until then and after and wouldn't know much about him unless you had read the books.
shit, jsut tell them to fuck off, pound sand, or do that somewhere else where only they care. maybe they need a 3rd thread to bitch about it...

Because some of us (e.g. me) will eventually read the books and would like to feel the full impact of all the extra GRR Martin detail that cannot be conveyed in the TV show when we read them and discover the differences ourselves. As I mentioned earlier, even if some event or character has already aired on TV (which already spoils the books to some degree), mentioning how it's different in the books doesn't spoil the TV show but it does spoil the books further for future readers. I avoid the other thread for this very reason. Reading a book is a very different experience, one that makes more intimate use of your imagination than an audiovisual medium like television or moving pictures. I'm going to visit my ex-wife soon and she has the books, so I plan to read the first two while I'm there.
We're not at all saying that people who have read the books cannot post in this thread. We're saying they cannot post stuff that is in the books; future stuff would spoil both the books and the show, but past stuff will still spoil the books.
