All I can say is that it's a good thing the Bran lived.  I was hella upset at the end of the first episode, let me tell you.  Don't mess with kids, or animals.  Oh well, I guess this is going to be the wrong show to watch eh?  As livid as I was about the pushing of Bran out the window, I was beside myself with the direwolf getting killed.  Egads.  What am I in for?

 

But how did I know the wolves would come in handy? 

 

The whole scene about the dragon eggs had me laughing, only cause of the recent showing of a Doctor Who episode, as I was like, stupid Moffat, he stole an idea from GoT, did he think no one would notice?

 

I called it though, the direwolf being killed and Bran waking up.  What is the connection?  Only time will tell!

 

On to episode 3!

We could do with fewer Stark brats (note that Stark is almost anagram for brats)

Sansa's a whiny snob and a coward

Ayra's egalitarian BS got Mycah killed

Bran's some kind of pervert

Jon Snow is the mopiest mope who ever moped

Thank the Old Gods and the New that Joffrey came out of it relatively unscathed.

Why do you think Bran is a pervert?

Why do you think Bran is a pervert?

Bran didn't have some Leave It To Beaver childhood in the 1950s American suburbs. He's already old enough to witness a man's decapitation. In this medieval world, in which he's constantly running around unattended, he's undoubtedly seen all kinds of animals, and possibly people, getting it on.

So what does the little Peeping Tom do when he hears noises that can only mean one thing?

He moves closer to get a better look.

Then he keeps watching.

With that reasoning, I almost have to agree.

Thank you HBO for the marathon!

When Cersei was telling her story about her boy who looked just like Robert dying of fever, has it ever been determined if that could have been Gendry?  And for some reason he was taken away as an infant but she was told he died?

The boy would have been the Crown Prince had he lived.  Why would they fake his death?

Also, are we allowed to discuss characters in an episode thread that won't appear until later in the season?

Please use spoiler tags to do this.
