Game of Thrones - I Need Therapy - Spoiler Alert

The gore is bad, but that is not what fundamentally bothered me. I am really upset because I do not know how Tyriain gets out of dying. I really do not want to see that.
Yeah, it wasn't so much the gore we thought we make it so upsetting for non-book-readers. Watchers are certainly used to the gore by now. It's that it made you believe that the Viper would triumph and then wham!
i felt basically the same way
was also pissed that Joram was sent away. it had to happen i guess but i wanted the two of them to hook up. beats crucifixion i guess lol0 -

Exactly, I almost felt a bit safe because it was Tyrian. But that was my own fault.0 -
Eddard's beheading definitely set the tone for the books as well as the show. He wasn't the first (well, Robert was first I guess) main character to die and wasn't the last to be sure.
What I really enjoy doing is throwing out fake spoilers on my Facebook just minutes before the new episodes air so all my friends who haven't read the books, which is ALL of them, get pissed off at me. Take last night for example. 8:55 pm I posted "Can't wait for the trial by combat and the way Tyrion dies horrifically at the end!" I got a lot of hate-posts for that one.0 -
Oh, and for those posting about how the show is too graphic and gory ..
*** SEMI SPOILER ALERT ***
Y'all might want to not watch the last few scenes of episode 10. You have been warned.0 -
i thought his little speech about his slow cousin was disapointing. felt like it was going somewheres then it was a total dud.
some of the dialogue in this show is an astonishing cut above the rest. and not because its in some funky vernacular, its just so compellingly worded
'comforts me more then a 1000 lying *kitten*'
Honestly I feel like his beetle speech was about his father more than anything. Maybe not though.........0 -

there could have easily been something there i missed. most of thier dialogue is eleoquent but easily consumed, i guess thats why i like it lol
Jamie is going to kill his dad isn't he?
I could be wrong, but when tyrion was talking about how each murder had its own name, i'm pretty sure 'patricide' was interestingly left out0 -
a friend of mine told me that the book series itself has not been concluded, in other words there is not currently an end to the story. is that true?0

That is thought provoking.0 -

In book form, this is true.
However, I believe I read that David Benioff, and D. B. Weiss know the intended ending of the series.0 -

i wanted Jamie to kill the mountain
I wish The Hound could kill the mountain.0 -
I kinda thought it was foreshadowing the inevitability of the bug being squashed (Scorpion, in this case, instead of a beetle), and spoke to Tyrian's incredulity about why and how this was happening.0

I really like where they are going with Sansa.
Was there a point to the beetle smashing story.
I was sitting by myself watching this morning. I threw my hands over my eyes. It was so intense.
I have never watched a show like this.
I confess I was shaking.
The whole point of the beetle smashing story was to foreshadow/be a parallel to what was going to happen to Oberyn.
The mountain is a mindless brute of a man who just likes to crush things, just like their cousin. Anyone more intelligent than him can't figure out what it is that he gets out of it. But he gets something when he smashes them. He enjoys it. It's what he lives for. Tyrion mentioned that all he could think about was the empty shells of all of the beetles that he's killed -- same as all of the men that The Mountain has killed.
That being said, fuuuuuck. I loved Oberyn. Everyone else is so damn dark and he was perky and funny and charming and I am seriously angry that any character I've liked either gets **** on or brutally murdered.0 -

According to the DVD commentary, this is correct.0 -
He's writing novel 6 currently which was supposed to be the last book in the series, however, I believe he stated there will be a 7th book to finish the story because there was too much more content to cover.0

I will miss that actor. He did such a good job.
And he's hot. :-P
Agreed!
Love Pedro Pascal

Haha, must remember that for the finale! I don't have much sympathy for people who get upset about GoT spoilers. The first book was published nearly 20 years ago, and the book that this season is based on was published 14 years ago...0 -

I said something on twitter about Joffrey finally getting his and someone flipped out. I was like dude, that was in the book AND the show already. STFU.0 -

The plan at this point is 7 books, but this article says there may be one more...

Good on ya.0 -
Sansa is quickly growing on me! She really distinguished herself in last night's episode and went from a girl to a young woman. I feel like she and Petyer are going to be the power couple and a force to reckon with.
Also, I liked outfit upgrade and the nod to the House of Baelish sigil, a black mockingbird. I'm happy to see that she's finally developing as a character and as a woman.0 -
As a book reader I knew it was coming. But seeing it...ouch.
I think Martin would just name a character after you, make them really likable and then kill them as revenge for that bill.
Love the Jaime/Tyrion interaction! Jaime Lannister is one of my favourite characters....I know, me bad. But he rocks. Sansa can do a running jump as far as I am concerned though.
this is what I mean, since you read the book and already knew what would happen, did you really need to see it? also could not the point have been inferred?
I just don't know what happened to withheld image in storytelling and film. Sometimes does it not seem gratuitous, or just for shock value as hinted above? Does that ever just turn you off to a show? To me it often does.
I'm just wondering if any of you think withheld image would have been a better tool in this scene?
Quick answer, personally? No. The shock and horror and sheer brutality of it is part of the story and the books. The gore of it suits it; the theme of it, the darkness. I mean, I am watching something based on George RR Martin's books. If I wanted a lighter version, I'd see if Robin Hobb had something cooked up from her books. (Kudos to anyone getting that reference!).
You learn things from ASOIAF and GoT.
The world is a brutal place.
Also, I am never ever getting married.0 -

Okay, so are they going to bang? I'm so confused about the two of them and I can't get a good feel for where it's going. At first it felt like father/daughter, but now it's like sexy time could come at any second.0 -

Baelish has always seen Sansa, I think, as his redemption -- the way to relive his lost youth, his lost love of Catelyn. Let's not forget, he's a creeper, he's basically a pimp, he's the most morally dubious character on the show, perhaps. Is it any surprise that he's been taking her under his wing in a Woody Allen - Soon Yi- type relationship, only waiting for her to blossom and come of age? It's also not surprising that Sana might find herself attracted to a "daddy" figure because he's been her protector and provider. He's been good to her and cared for her when she's lost everyone and everything she's ever cared about.0 -

Yes. We actually don't have satellite tv, we have to download all episodes a few minutes after they're done airing. I stay off my phone and the computer until the latest is downloaded and watched.0 -

That makes a lot of sense. I really wish the hook up wouldn't happen, but I can see it now. He's a pretty terrible person and she's pretty naive or is in the books anyhow). She thinks he did all of this for her, when I think it's all for him. I wish there had been more from her point of view in book 5.
It'll be interesting to see if she remains a victim or becomes......."bad".0
