    I've never seen the show but read all the books. I'm not one of the "cool kids".
    I felt bad for Theon though....but he had it coming.

    SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN ALL OF S2 YET


    I have not read the books but love the series.

    During the final episode, am I the only one confused by what happened at Winterfell? One minute they were surrounded by an Army and they had knocked out Theon Greyjoy to take him home, the next thing the castle has been burnt to the ground and there is nobody to be seen. What happened to Greyjoy, did they get passed the northern army and if so how? Who burned the castle? Is this explained in the books, because the episode just seemed to skip over the entire thing!

    It's hard to say, since they've changed things from the books.

    From what I assumd (havent read the books)
    was that theon made his speech and got knocked out by his own men to take him home.
    The northern army were just about to attack winterfell (because of that "bloody horn blower", and so theon and his twenty men left, and the northen army burnt winterfell to the ground?

    Doesnt make sense as to why rob would burn his home down? He was too busy off getting married to realise his army burtn down him home?

    Beats me but thats how i saw it

    same question i had....what the heck happened. Once second he couldn't leave as he was surrounded. The next they were about waltz home?....

    read a couple more chapters of book one last night and most of what I've read is covered n the first episode or two of the first season. The most remarkable differences to the characters from the book to the series is their age. In the book John Snow is 14, on the series I thought he was about 20. Same with Daenerys and Robb. The book also has Catelyn Stark young enough to bear another child. Not so in the series. I'd say the series, in general, ages each character by close to 6-10 years.

    G.O.T is awesome, I have a direwolf/winter is coming hoodie! Series one was really close to the book, but series two kept making me angry with all their little changes. I can understand that they had to change it in some ways to translate it to the medium sized screen but some of things they've done seem completely arbitrary. The whole character of Ros for example.

    I reckon they had to age the characters as HBO may get into hot water showing a 14 year old Danerys getting it on with Khal Drogo...!!!

    I'm really hoping stay close to the books, not like True Blood. I'm waiting for Ceresi to have her head shaved and be driven through town naked by religious fanatics.

    I haven't read the books, but it was my assumption from the final episode that when Theon's men knocked him out and were going to head home that THEY burned the castle. Its my understanding from history that this was common practice when leaving a held property to prevent others (enemies) from using the property's resources or as shelter. Just my theory.

    I've not read the books so, obviously, I have no idea what will happen. However, my only hope is that those dragons burn Joffrey Baratheon to a crisp. I want to punch that kid in the throat every time he speaks.

    Ooh... Thanks for the reminder about Spartacus :love:

    I'm a huge fan of the books and the show. I think they did an excellent job with the casting. I actually like that Margery Tyrell has more of a role. She's so conniving... love it!

    The hubby and I have already decided that if we ever have a little girl, we're totally naming her Arya :wink:

    Love this season, and im not really sure what the deal is with the zombie looking dudes at the end. Im creeped out. It looked like The Walking Dead mad a visit to the wall..lol

    I've only seen to episode 8.

    The 'zombie guys' are pretty much an endgame deal, if you've read the books. I haven't had a chance to pick up the most recent book to see if it goes into any detail about them...all the books I've read just hinted. But I've got a feeling once winter comes...all the other wars are going to pretty much be dropped while humanity fights just to survive.

    I'm sure the dragons will play a big part in that.

    Book 5 was almost as frustrating as book 4. I don't know if you remember much of A Feast for Crows (4), but it only tells the story of half the characters because it was getting too long to be one book and that was how Martin chose to split it instead of chronologically. So A Dance With Dragons (5) tells the story of the remaining half of the characters, but along the same timeline as Crows. You'll want to re-read Crows before starting Dragons so you'll remember where the other people are in their stories.

    And I think you're right: once winter comes, all the wars in the South will completely cease to matter. =)

    Shes my fave and Arya and Jon :D

    Arya and Jon are my favorites throughout the entire series. (Remember, the books are all the way to "season" 5.) You'll be surprised at how some of the characters end up redeeming themselves mightily and how some characters end up being your least favorite when you used to like them a lot. I'll say no more. =)

    At this point the only redeeming thing Joffery can do is die... I despise that character mightily...
