Winter is Coming.......GOT-Season 2 (R)

You got that from the book right? (I think I remember that conversation between them in a previous episode but I could be wrong)

It happened in the tv series

Ah ok.

I gave thought to getting the books but I think I'll follow the TV series instead.

Me too. I ended up reading the lotr trilogy after seeing Fellowship (couldn't wait 2 years), but I think I'd prefer to be surprised by events this time.

At least Stannis hasn't been portrayed as lame as Jon has been.

They made Jon a loser, and Robb into some epic human (until the recent Talisa scene which was totally out of character).

Robb is still a lame to me.

Pretty disappointing finale. Like the book, the stories are just too spread out and on the show each of them feels too rushed. I hated the scene with Jon and the Halfhand. Dany's scene was crap too.

Where the ******** was Rhaegar? /mad

Wow they really laid the emotional crap on thick didn't they?

They ruined the House of the Undead scene. The whole season was a waste. ******** this shit.

What happened in the book?

I'll post quotes from the book one sec

Almost all of them are prophecies, or reveal prophecies. I won't explain what they mean because it reveals spoilers.

And in the book she went willingly to the HotU, and Drogon was the only dragon that burned pyat pree. Minor change, don't care about that.

In one room, a beautiful woman sprawled naked on the floor while four little men crawled over her...One was pumping between her thighs. Another savaged her breasts, worrying at the nipples with his red wet mouth, tearing and chewing.

Farther on she came upon a feast of corpses. Savagely slaughtered, the feasters lay strewn across overturned chairs and hacked trestle tables, asprawl in pools of congealing blood. Some had lost limbs, even heads. Savaged limbs clutched bloody cups, wooden spoons, roast fowl, heels of bread. On a throne above them sat a dead man with the head of a wolf. He wore an iron crown and held a leg of lamb in one hand as a king might hold a scepter, and his eyes followed Dany with mute appeal.

I know this room, she thought. She remembered those great wooden beams and the carved animal faces that adorned them. And there outside the window, a lemon tree

Beyond loomed a cavernous stone hall, the largest she had seen. The skulls of dead dragons looked down from its walls.Upon a towering barbed throne sat an old man in rich robes, an old man with dark eyes and long silver-gray hair. “Let him be king over charred bones and cooked meat,” he said to a man below him. “Let him be the king of ashes.”

The man had her brother’s hair, but he was taller, and his eyes were a dark indigo rather than lilac. “Aegon,” he said to a woman nursing a newborn babe in a great wooden bed. “What better name for a king?”
“Will you make a song for him?” the woman asked.
“He has a song,” the man replied. “He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire.” He looked up when he said it and his eyes met Dany, and it seemed as if he saw her standing there beyond the door. “There must be one more,” he said, though whether he was speaking to her or the woman in bed she could not say. “The dragon has three heads.”

.mother of dragons...child of three...three heads has the dragon...mother of dragons...child of storm...

...three fires must you light...one for life and one for death and one to love...

Viserys screamed as the molten gold ran down his cheeks and into his mouth. A tall lord with copper-gold skin and silvery hair stood beneath the banner of a fiery stallion, a burning city behind him. Rubies flew like drops of blood from the chest of a dying prince, and he sank to his knees in the water and with his last breath murmured a woman’s name...mother of dragons...daughter of death...

Her silver was trotting through the grass, to a darkling stream beneath a sea of stars. A corpse stood at the prow of a ship, eyes bright on his dead face, gray lips smiling sadly. A blue flower grew from a chink in a wall of ice, and filled the air with sweetness...mother of dragons...bride of death...
Ten thousand slaves lifted bloodstained hands as she raced by on her silver, riding like the wind. “Mother!” they cried. “Mother, Mother!”

^That might have cut into next year's budget a bit.

Not to mention being gross.

What happened to the fat boy??

Soooooo... anyone else agree that season 1 was much better?

No question. It's not even close, in my mind.

So much of Season 2 was just a waste. No progression at all.

Dany: "Where are myyyyy dragonnnnsss???!"

Jon: "It's cold... Hey, there's a ginger."

Robb: "I'm going to spend all ********ing season talking to my mother in some nondescript tent when I'm supposedly fighting a war."

Tywin and Arya spent how many episodes where they just popped in with their 2 minute comedy routine?

Grumble grumble. Blackwater was a great episode, but all the fiddling about the rest of the season was really annoying. And at the end, we're exactly back where we started. The long game is still Jon/Wildlings/White Walkers in the north and Dany/Dragons.

Be ware, this is the part where the sheep come at you and say you have no perspective or some shit like that. A whole lot of nothing with one or two good moments and a cliffhanger or two.

The lot of you would be a riot on a night out



The only thing I am pissed about it that, we have to wait 10 ********ing months before season 3

The way I see it, Season 2 should've been:

>Tyrion and Bronn scene--->Arya and Tywin/Jaqen scene---->Any scene involving Stannis--
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rinse. Repeat.

Have you read the Dunk and Egg series? Thinking about buying them (because I don't have an e-reader).

Thanks, but I don't want to have to read it on a computer. Only 10 dollars a book.

Read the first one - very light but fun read.

I think there is a new one coming out soon which will finally help in understanding the back story (Harrenhal) since the ones so far while canon didn't.
