    3/10.

    Personally, I'm reading A Clash Of Kings at the same time, trying not to read too far ahead. Too tempting.

    Anyways, from the wiki, heres whats happened already for anyone in need of remembering(not like thats necessary :p)

    1- To Cersei's dismay, Tyrion takes up his post as acting Hand at King's Landing. At Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon proclaims allegiance to Melisandre's new god and lays public claim to the Iron Throne, revealing Joffrey's bastardy. As this news reaches the capital, the Gold Cloaks slaughter Robert's bastards. Having won three victories, Robb Stark offers the Lannisters peace in exchange for the North's independence, sending Theon to gain Balon Greyjoy's support and Catelyn to seek Renly Baratheon's. Beyond the Wall, the Night's Watch find shelter with the Wildling Craster and his daughter-wives. In Essos, as her people slowly die in the Red Waste, Daenerys sends out riders to look for help.

    2- Returning to his home of Pyke after nine years as the Starks' ward, Theon Greyjoy is reunited with his sister Yara and his father Balon, who despises Theon for his Northern ways and intends to win back his crown by force. Cersei rejects Robb Stark's terms and Tyrion exiles Janos Slynt, head of the Gold Cloaks, to the Wall and promotes Bronn to commander of the watch. On the road to the Wall, Arya reveals her true identity to Gendry. North of the Wall, Samwell Tarly is approached by one of Craster's daughters, Gilly, who is pregnant and fears for her unborn child, but Jon is reluctant to help her despite Sam's pleas. In the Red Waste one of the horses returns to Daenerys with the decapitated head of its rider in a pouch, a message from one of her enemies. On Dragonstone, Davos Seaworth recruits the pirate Salladhor Saan to Stannis's side, and Stannis has sex with Melisandre to obtain the son his wife could not give him. Jon discovers that Craster sacrifices his sons to the White Walkers.


    Heres a preview to tomorrows episode:

    Enjoyed that episode, even though the quality was horrid. Have to watch it again tomorrow.

    I love Tyrion.

    Really enjoyed that episode.

    What an episode! Tyrion is the business, was a bit shocked at Littlefinger falling for it, I thought he'd have seen through that. Arya is proving to be a very smart "Boy" :D

    cant wait for next weeks episode :)

    Clever ploy by Tyrion, though you'd wonder if he's flying too close to the sun at this stage. He's certainly making his mark, but he's p*ssing off Cersei & let's not forget he's the one who clocked Joffrey across the face, way back in series 1.

    The only plotline that doesn't feel like it's moving is Arya's ...


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    Probably not one of the best episodes but still very good - not much action but a lot of lovely politics.

    Seems to be moving a hell of a lot faster than Dany's :P

    Only disappointing thing was I didn't get to see my Calisi. :(

    By the way, when I first saw this OP a couple of days ago, I thought 3/10 was a score you had given the episode, somehow seeing it before all of us, so I stayed away lest there be spoilers.

    Episode 4 next time please!

    I read online that there are 15 episodes this season! Anyone know if this is true? I'd be very happy if it was! :D

    Nope, season 2 will comprise 10 ep's. Unfortunately :(

    They're about as bad really; to me Arya's feels worse as there's a more immediate threat to her & the king's bastard. Splitting hairs really as it's all been very good so far.

    It's spelled Khaleesi. :)

    The news on episode sizes was that Season 3 will be 10 episodes long too but only cover half of the third book. Given that this book was so large it could just about be printed as a hardback and they had to split the book to print it as a paperback, this is great news.

    You know you've played Skyrim far too much, when the kid was lying there with an arrow in his knee and the first thing you think is, "Well, he won't be an adventurer any more"

    who was the gay king the son of again and yerone?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,013 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    who was the gay king the son of again and yerone?
    He's the brother of Robert of Baratheon (sp), the King from series 1 who died midway through the season. Stannis (the dour fellow in the thrall of the Lady-McBeth-alike) is also a brother, and technicall the rightful heir to the throne over Joffrey as he's next in line.

    Renley, Robert Baratheon's (and Stannis Baratheon's) brother.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,778 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    as they said seems everyone is a king now

    Really enjoyed it, arya's story just got really interesting, lots of new characters for us to get confused over!

    Clever arya, although I'm wondering will the lunatics in the cage come to help or get her.

    Renlys new queeen could play that role in her sleep, I loved her as Anne Bolyen in the tudors and this role looks very similar. Can't wait to see more of her.
