A Game of Thrones Pilot Greenlit

[Voltron]

I agree with the disconnectedness but I think they are stuck with doing an opening episode like this one to remind old viewers where the many convoluted story threads lie and to orient new viewers.  Plenty of action in the second book and it should get rolling soon.

Wtf.

Just. What. The. Fuck.

[Voltron]

I guess you didn't read the books. It was worse in writing.

[Dreadhead]

I guess there is a new episode to watch and wince at

George R R Martin doesn't mind killing popular or significant characters

Haven't seen yet to know how accurate, but fun collection of tweets on last night... http://feedly.com/k/17iDLe6

long time fan of the books, big fan of how last night's episode was handled. very very well done, and absolutely devastating. melody was a mess afterwards.

[Pars]

I haven't read the books, but rather shocking, though I suppose fitting...

[emelius]

great...now it's just a bunch of children playing with dragons...

[naamanf]

Wtf.

Just. What. The. Fuck.

My thoughts exactly

[VPI]

just watched. way, way worse in the book.

I am guessing the next episode might have some of the

post massacre stuff, wolfboy

, etc. I wish the writer would just finish this story as I am sick of being 10+k pages in and seeing very little of the vengeance I am seeking.

Saw last night. Was this the first episode that ended...

with less characters than when it started?

Tony Stark does finally redeem his family at the end, I'm guessing.

Cool! Ironman v. The Dragons.

[Grahame]

Don't give them ideas

[ironbut]

Yeah,..

watched it last night and was curious what all the hu-bub was about?

Yikes!

Of course after Ned's untimely demise, I guess I shouldn't be that surprised.

[TMoney]

Is it wrong to kind of like the Lannisters?

 

Leave Geoffry and his mother out of it as they have very few redeeming qualities.

 

Tyrion is awesome, natch. Jamie can be a D-Bag but has a softer side to him. Tywin is kind of a dick to Tyrion but otherwise the guy has his sh*t together in a Machiavellian kind of way. Since he has been the Hand things have been pretty darn stable at King's Landing. Moreso than at any other time on the show, right?

 

Tywin is the "king" that King's Landing needs, right? Maybe he is more of a bad guy in the books, but I gotta say I kind of like him on the show.

There were some brutal kills in that episode, even by GoT standards. The one at the end... wow.
