I love your recap Nothinbutjoy.

I really just want to see someone flip Joffrey out on his ass and that damn mama of his too.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Arya has in store next for her. She's quite brilliant...I love her scenes.

Will Tyrion get revenge for being cutoff for nearly everything when it was he who only had ROYAL BALLS OF STEEL during the Blackwater battle?

Last but not least, what is cutie Jon Snow going to be doing this season?

I don't mean no harm, but Dany and her dragons bore the hell out of me. It was only interesting in season 1 when she married Jason Momoa's character...after he died it's like she's been this wonderer looking for a place to settle down, with her dragons of course. Perhaps they will make her storyline a bit more interesting this season.

If you have read 'Storm of Swords', then you'll know a lot of shit'll go down this season!

I'm trying to get there but I only have time to read about 80 pages a day, I'm 60% through A Game of Thrones.

And the premiere was worth the wait even if almost nothing happened.

i just finished "a dance with dragons" a few days ago and was sad that

i'm gonna have to let the series rest now until "the winds of winter" is

gonna be released in a few years.

great stories, nicely written. and very, very addictive.

there's a lot of ground left for the series to cover. not sure how they're

gonna translate all of that into screenplay though. they are bound to

make some shortcuts in places, it would be almost impossible not to at

this point.

loved watching the dragons a bit more grown in tonight's episode.

had a bit of trouble recognising sam in the first scene, first i thought

they'd changed actors or something. but it must be because i didn't

review season two againi after reading the complete series of books

between november and now. he just changed from what i imagined

him to look like through the books i guess

also love watching Tywin -brilliant casting. and even Cersei, eventhough

she's queen bitch, fcuz

*** possible spoilers ***

haven't watched any previews to season 3 so i'm very curious to see

what bran's new companions myra and jojen will look like.

and mereen, i cannot wait to see the pyramids of mereen, although i

guess that might take another season or so.

Also books 4 and 5 will be combined because they take place at the same time.

Very solid episode. King Papa is a dick. Dany is still gullible. The new bride intended for Joffrey is going to be a force to be reckoned with and Cersi knows it. I've heard the first 2 or 3 episodes are builders so I was expecting a slow paced show. I will say though, the hour(-ish) went by really quickly! Definitely will be watching this episode again later. Now on to The Walking Dead.

Hell yes and I'm loving every bit of it. I can't wait for her to turn Cersei and Joffrey out on their asses.

That Jon Snow He makes me sooooo weak in the knees.

Peter Baelish....that's a sneaky con artist. One can only wish that Sansa had the senses that Arya has.

Episode was slow but still good, can't wait until next week.

it'll be very interesting to see how the series develops from here on

since they're bound to catch up with george r r martin.

i mean, "winds of winter" is now planned for early 2015 but with his

delays it could well be later. or perhaps he'll surprise us all and will

have it finished by 2014, who knows.

what i'm trying to say is, if the series would go a little something like

this:

2013 season 3: book 3

2014 season 4: book 4 and 5

2015 season 5: book 4 and 5

2016 season 6: book 6 (yet to be completed)

2017 season 7: no book yet

it will become a bit of a race toward the end of the series in writing

and the series on tv.

but who knows, by 2017 a lot of things can happen

Somebody said Ghost was back, and silly me got excited. Imagine my disappoint when I see they were talking about the damn dire wolf.

The Ghost of Harrenhal

I know I was already told he wouldn't be back. I just hoped they cheated.

I LOVE him!!! I know they changed his face in the end, but if I'm seeing the nature of his magic correctly, he can come back right?

Reading Entertainment Weekly's interview of the producers, the 1st 2 eps will be setup and then they'll hit us with a series of great eps.

Just a guess at who Sansa's surprise groom will be:

Littlefinger. When I saw what he was saying in the last ep of season 2 and this ep, I think he's angling for that (he told the King he'd have to "acquire" some sons for Harrenhal), or to otherwise arrange her marriage to someone.

IMHO, he's trying to put the screws to Lady Katlyn Stark.

I dont understand why Sansa, whos is playing the game brilliantly with what little she has, would suddenly trust Little Finger when even in the last episode she was keeping everyone trying to thelp her at bay.

I never said she'd trust him. But she has few options. Her brother has (somewhat) abandoned her and her mother is under house arrest for trying to free her. She never knows what Joffrey will do and when he will do it.

We don't know WHAT they discussed on the shore in the early minutes of the episode. Sansa is faring pretty well, but she has no family at this point. Little Finger may be all there is, and both she and he know it.

It may be farfetched, but she does get married at some point this season.

Sansa's a pawn and to naive too know it.

Littlefinger is after her mother. If he has, for lack of a better word, control over Sansa's fate, Lady K will say "How high" when he says "Jump."

What I want to know is how much of this The Spider has figured out. Is that why he has gone to Ros. Is that why Ros whispered a warning to Sansa? I think yes. The Spider told Ros that Littlefinger had secrets that he thought were well hidden.

^ I dont think shes naive, she has avoided every trap that would label her a traitor and be missing her head. i just don't understand the sudden shift to actually talking to Little Finger bout her desire to get the hell out of Kings Landing.

Like I said even in last season's finale when shes tossed aside by the wonderful Joffery, She doesn't trust Little finger even when he tells her that shes gonna be The Kings toy to beat and rape at will. Maybe later we will see why she's letting her guard down, but I don't think its wise that its Finger.

I do know the spoiler of the upcoming possibel marriage and I find that very interesting if it the same as the book.

For a teenaged girl who saw her father beheaded, her king brother abandon her, her mother totally incapable of rescuing her, and endured beatings and psychological torture from Joffrey, his Guard, and scorn everywhere she looks, she'd done quite well. She DID hold the "Women Of Troy" together in "Blackwater."

Presumably, Finger's had a while to work on her. I'm thinking maybe now Finger wants revenge on her mother, hence the angle.

Sorry, Orgers . . . *(REPORTED) SPOILER ALERT* . . . it will be interesting, and based on the timeline, it will have to be hurried which is why I guessed Finger but having not read the books I don't know.

I think that she's naive, or at least showing her young age, because as soon as Littlefinger mentioned her mother she began to confide in him.
