Every weekend is holiday.. what evil is this?

it's a long weekend with Monday being the actual holiday.
People go away or spend time with their families, it's the traditional beginning of summer for US viewers. You know, the ones that actually PAY for HBO's non-commercial interrupted , expensive to produce programs like GOT and True Blood. I seriously doubt they give a flying fuck as to the emotional pain it causes non-American viewers who steal it off of the Internet.

I actually pay HBO indirectly for GoT through my TV subscription. So my heart remains stirred with emotion over this, VBG.

Same here as well, suprisingly the episodes are pretty much in sync with the US episodes I think.
Episode 8 & 9 airs tomorrow right after one another, 19:00 & 20:00.

ok j/k even ill admit that is exactly what this show needed to be all along, even though I saw this coming as well from a mile away. Stupid naive silly boy put his "feelings" above making the right decision as king and it cost him his kingdom and life.

its not naive or boring at all... tell me one more show that did spend this much time introducing and making you care about the characters, building so much tension... and then killing the characters. I did not know the books & I had no idea. Maybe now that I know how Mr.Martin tells his story's, MAYBE I can predict something like this... telling you can predict it is just negative thinking and expecting misery... positive people care and will forever care and hope for the best... everything else is a depression wish going to happen. What a great show! ordered the first 4 books today...

I haven't read the books so I didn't see that coming but what a fantastic scene, I am so glad something like that happened. And it wasn't even the series finale, can't wait for next Tuesday

This time I agree with you 100%. Was good, but pretty meh in comparison.

If I hadn't read the books I would think it was pretty surreal, but it was just so much more surreal in the books that I was very underwhelmed. Atleast they killed pregnant Talisa, but... yeah I had to go re-read that chapter to calm myself down at how underwhelming it was.

Sucks that TB was down during this internet flame fest

----

Apart from the RW - I thought they actually had pretty shaky scenes. The fake-cliffhanger w/ offscreen-resolution of Daario+co was lame. Were supposed to believe they pulled a Jack Bauer? Ok...

The Jon + Bran scene was super weird. They made it look like everyone but Tormund & Ygritte were dead. So it was Jon+Ygritte+wolves against solo Tormund but he ran away not giving a shit that his brothers might be alive. Ok.... They needed to show another handful of people around, cause even Jon+wolves vs Ygritte+Tormund is an easy win for Jon.

so it is only pu**ies left in the show

john show who cant lead the north army as he will be killed(by someone) f�r leaving the watch.
the old guy and red witch dies by dragons i would guess
the young bastard king get f**ed to death by the red witch

so that leave the kiddies? ok the the handicapped boy takes control of the dragons, kills the dragon lady, takes her army and marches and kills the boy king

or the tiny girl plays c'nedra(from eddings books) and give good speech to get the north army to follow her

or the lannisters keep killing them all off and it ends up with joffrey as the ultimate winner because they know everyone want him dead and the writers think it is a good plot twist to let the annoying bad guy win

I didn't like the wedding one bit.

Not because character died, that's not the reason. I didn't mind the fact that it was - at least from the perspective of someone who didn't read the books - unexpected, nor that it was brutal.

There are two reasons this pissed me off...

1) It's a shitty ending to a major plot line - it's as if Joffrey suddenly died by breaking his neck after falling down some stairs. Would it be expected? No. Perhaps not as brutal. Definitely as shitty tho. The characters are killed of by someone whom, at least to my knowledge, isn't really all that important. Compare this to the death of Ned - his death was equally sudden, but at least there were events leading up to it and it wasn't done by some low-importance persona. No, it was Joffery himself. Yeah yeah, there's the "Lanisters send their regards" line thrown in, but it really doesn't do it justice, as we've seen no indication from the Lanisters that they were ever planning anything.

2) It's a shitty ending to a major plot line - Neds death sparked a war. It's as if someone threw in a match into a gasoline soaked fire-stack. This? This effectively ends that plot with no conclusions. There's nothing to draw from it. The remaining Starks have next to no political power (let alone an army), and seem more like background characters. Sure, there's Daenerys with her "liberation army", but she appears to be too detached from events to take her seriously. Oh, and there's Stannis Baratheon, but unless his red sorceress can conjure up an army, he's just as useless.

I didn't really care all that much for Robb and Catelyn - they didn't really do much for the past episodes. But still - they had a fucking army and they had something to do - at least it gave OTHER characters something to worry about. Now that this is all gone, the tension has evaporated and there's little left.

Yes. That was the entire point.

Tywin Lannister was writing letters pretty much the entire Season 3. He told Cersei that for the shitty son he hates he started an entire war when he was taken captive, what do you think he would do to get his heir and son back?

Roose Bolton out of the goodness of his heart decided to let Jaime go instead of returning him to Robb. He even makes extra sure Jaime is under good hands & tells him that his maiming was not his command but the rogue actions of that random Locke character.

The whole point was that Robb hadn't lost a battle, and so the Lannisters took him out where he would have his guard down. If you thought Robb would die after taking the realm and having a 1v1 duel with Joffrey, that was never going to happen.

But you are correct in that, it is the end of plotline. Seasons 1-3 was basically a Starks vs Lannisters battle, and the Lannisters pretty much won. There's essentially just a bunch of inconveniences left. Though with regards to Wildling army, white walkers and dragons, I'd hardly say the story is over

I completely disagree, it was the fitting ending to the storyline of a self gratifying fool pretender king who never had the stomach or will to do what ever it took to win like the Lanisters. They exist in a world where if you challenge power the only two outcomes are victory or the complete slaughter of everyone on your side. Knowing that the fool chose to break his word to a powerful king so he could marry to fulfill his own selfish desires instead of putting the interests of his own kingdom first and than offering up his schmuck uncle as a consolidation prize would make it all better, and now he is dead like his naive father.

It`s not their world, is our world.As GRRM confess in more than one interview his source of inspiration for the books is history. Our history ,as a race as humans, is filled which such events.

...that`s the reason I don`t trust or admire politicians, or the very successful businessmen ,or the people that crave for success.Majority of them have despicable character.

But we, as the audience, are usually treated to the political shenanigans and deals that are being made. Claiming that it was all orchestrated by Tywin, even if true, means you have a crystal ball and the rest of us are left in the dark.

Of course I wouldn't expect Robb (or any other character, for that matter... EDIT: no, wait... Arya would be OK...

) to fight Joffrey in a duel - let's not be silly.

See, the conclusion in Season 1 was the result of slow tension building. We see nothing of the kind this time around. This comes out of nowhere with nearly no setup. What did I expect? I don't know - I'm not the script writer. If not a major battle (which, admittedly, are rare in the show), then a lot more buildup of political intrigues. As it is, it's just feels like a cheap and lazy way to end the plot: "I can't think of an interesting way to settle this story thread so I'll just kill it off in a random, shocking act of violence LOL K BAI".

Awesome episode i was watching it a couple of friends and some guys started to cry. It was funny to see a guy crying over Rob.

hehe fuck me. I liked this episode, a lot actually. Finally something happend, an out of no where for me who havnt read the books. This kinda solved alot of the character influx we had in s.3

I really liked Rob though so a shame that we wont see him again.

My only real fucking disappointment is that they didn't kill off sansa as well.. Damn it!

Also, did anyone catch if they killed the uncle (or whatever relationship he had with starks, i.e the guy who got married).

Enough of the fucking innuendos in this thread about who gets to be killed and who doesn't. Bookreaders are the most impatient people. Wait till the episode has aired and then post. God damn your kind! Go back to the dark thread of spoilers and plot your mischief!

Anywho, I guess we know now why they made so much out of season 3, the slow build up etc. I was spoiled during season 1 about "the red wedding", and I suppose I should thank the youtube commenter for alluding to "a lannister wedding", so that I didn't see it was aimed at the Starks. Killing the good guys makes a lot of sense if you want to tell an overarching epic story, but for a tv show.. I'm not so sure, and I wonder if it is going to have a repercussion.. unless of course this unholy murder will have an holy twist that contains their part in the story.. I've been following some reviewers of the series, and one already started talking about GoT as the least interesting show post-red wedding. Maybe..

Imo, those that are left, which have noble goals are less interesting and do not promise it is going to be more interesting. Even if it is great to cut away characters, because there are too many, noble characters are better at pushing the plot forward, those that are left are in no real position to do that and will probably be killed soon: Sansa, Jon, Rickon, Arya ...
Those that are starting to be more interesting are: pizzaface ...
