    I'm sure he will be right. Never known a show to kill off so many main characters. Most shows would struggle to fill the void but there are so many excellent characters in it that this never happens.

    Just to clarify, even though the book readers are hinting in a nudge nudge wink wink manner as to who gets killed

    there are still 2 books that havent been written, so we havent a clue either really.

    I have a niggling suspicion that GRRM dosent know either, and about half way through the final book he's going to blow up the whole planet with a comet.

    That's fine, So long as GRRM doesn't die before they're finished

    What relation would Oberyn Martell be to Daenarys Targaryen then?

    Cracking episode. When I grow up I want to be as badass as the Hound.

    He's her brother in law.

    "Lots of cúnts" haha, immediately reminds you why GoT is so great. Really grounds the whole thing in reality.

    Interesting then. I wonder does he know her whereabouts, intentions and her possession of dragons and the Unsullied army? Could be another feather in Khaleesi's cap (bringing the Martell's onside)

    Poliver: “You lived your life for the king, you’re going to die for some chickens?”

    The Hound: “Someone is”

    I think that whole scene made The Hound one of my favourite characters.

    Really solid opener. Surprised at how many characters I like in this show, so not too bothered they changed the actor for Daario Naharis. Anyone know why the actor was changed?

    the old Daario is gonna be in the ne Transporter films, replacing Jason Statham, couldnt fit bot GOT and Transporter into the old diary

    The hounds use of the word cnut is just f*cking awesome!!

    But the best line from Game of Thrones has to be in the first season from Littlefinger, "Play with her arse"

    sorry if this was already covered, havent read the entire thread but was it explained who Tywin had the second sword made for? One was noticeably shorter than the other. Maybe he is softening toward Tyrion? Or did he keep the large one himself and Jamie get a smaller one to use with his weaker arm?

    That was epic! Gunna watch it again tonight I think just to take it all in.

    The Hound and Arya are quickly becoming my favourite characters, they make some duo. Still I imagine Arya is a little conflicted because he is technically still on her "list". Was nice to see her knock Polliver off it though!

    Thought Prince Oberyn was great, he should be interesting to have around...am just wondering could Dorne come into Dany's storyline and have an impact there? Either way look forward to seeing more of those crazy southerners!

    Cannot wait for next week.

    Oh and a book 2 spoiler,
    finally Ser Dontos has arrived?! I found it weird that they had just left him out.

    Book reader here. It wasn't explained. It will be soon.

    I thought it was a brilliant opening episode. The Hound has quickly become my favourite character since he has taken Arya with him.

    I actually thought it was a new character at first, it took me a few minutes to figure out who he was supposed to be.

    Terrible casting in my opinion. I don't buy that Khaleesi could be enamored by him the same way that I did the old one.

    He's a bit weedy compared with the other guy but the original dude was pretty looking to the point of being a distraction. He was a worse actor as well imo.

    I'm really bored by Tyrion's story now. Note to HBO, don't hire pornstars for serious acting roles. I liked the bit where people got killed and stuff.

    You want HBO to rewrite the books?

    No, I'm saying if you're casting actors don't hire pornstars. Shea is a former pornstar, hence her crapness

    Right, that last post makes me sound snobbish, so I take it back. Not the bit about her being crap but being crap because she used to do porn

    I can't stand Shae. I don't see her and Tyrion being together much longer anyway, I reckon Cersei will give her the chop! Or at least Shae will eventually just freak out about Sansa!

    She's become Skyler White-esque. Just repetitive and annoying.

    However, this episode was a truly good episode for beards. As an admirer of great beards I'd give it a high 9 in that regard.

    I like the new Daario more than the old guy but they should have picked someone bigger and musclier I think. Also his beard sucks

    When Sonsa and Tyrion were talking she said 'they' did something to Robs body. Despite rewinding it back about ten times i still couldn't make it out. Anyone??
