Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire) The Fantasy Thread

[PoorOldPo]

I really enjoyed Littlefinger in the latest episode. What he said gave me chills, and made me realise how much of a threat he really is. Cringed a bit at the romantic scene at the end. But I guess they need to build up an emotional response to their relationship.

It might seem hectic at first, but you'll start putting names to faces and it'll all fall into place.

The only real issue I had is trying to keep up with some of the back-story at times. There are a lot of references regarding things that happened in the past with characters that are long dead, and I found myself a bit confused at times and flipping back through the books.

I am a slow enough reader, I read at a leisurely pace. I took my time with all five books and spread out the reading for about a year or more. I find that you absorb more when you read slowly, in any book I have read, whether it be on architecture, German mythology or fantasy.

You could really tell last night's episode was written by George R.R. Martin, I don't mean to put down the shows writers, they do a terrific job, but there was just something about last night's episode that really struck a chord with me. It was a dialogue heavy episode, but the dialogue really did add some depth to the characters as well as conveyed relevant plot information. Sansa and Margaery discussing sex was well done and kind of reminded me of that scene from Kids where the group of girls were discussing blowjobs. Osha getting some backstory as to why she fled helped develop her character a little more,

Spoiler for Spoilers for book 5:

and can now mean she and Rickon can bow out of the story like they do in the books

. I think the real standout scene though was Robb and Talisa's bedroom scene that allowed for some gratuitous nudity for fanservice (for both genders) but also let Robb take off his crown and just be a normal guy spending time with his wife. We never really got these little snippets of his life outside of being a king, so that was a nice touch.

Here's a question for people who haven't read the books though, do you know the name of the person torturing Theon?

I know that it's Ramsay Bolton but only because I had to look it up. I haven't read that far in the series yet, and so the whole Theon being tortured bit has been quite confusing. I've been meaning to rewatch previous episodes to see if I just missed something (which is entirely possible), but as of now the torturing seems somewhat random which I'm sure it's not. I don't think I've heard his name spoken once.

Honestly, I found that episode pretty disappointing. Maybe it's just because nothing really happened in it or just because I found some parts just plain bad (Osha's and Robb's scenes spring to mind). On the other hand I can now walk up to those people that have spent the past few weeks saying I'm wrong for loving Jaime and laugh in their faces.

This week on Game of Thrones. Theon: "Ohh yeahhhhhh that's amazing. Yeah, that's the spot. Yeah. Oh ye------OH ****. NO. AAAAUUUUGGGHHHGGGHHHHH"

In all seriousness...I'm really beginning to like Jamie. The dude is coming around.

Finally tried to start watching the show, but literally every single link I try is basically unwatchable (it's like watching stop-motion). My computer runs pretty well and I haven't had many problems streaming shows before. Any recommendations? If not, I might just pick it up on DVD, or see if the library has them.

If you don't mind Turkish subtitles, you can watch them all on dizi-mag.com!

That's where I did it.

I will send you a good streaming site Thom.
