Yes, yes it was Terry

Yep Tyrion says it like it is.

That Joffrey kid (I really should look up his name but nah) likely got treated like crap when out in public. Fans can be really awful.

I mean if I ever run into the actors who play Jaime Lannister or Jon
Snow security may need to get called in to pull me off. A night in jail and a restraining order would be worth it. Lol

As much as I hated King Joffrey's character that actor was amazing.

That kid (I don't even know his name) did such a great job at making you hate him. Same with Cersei.

This book kicks ass!!!

Why did I not read it sooner. Oh well better late than never.

I think because of all that has happened so far is the reason Ned is talking about war prep.
-Bran possibly being pushed
-Jon Arryn possibly being murdered
-Attack on Catelyn that was meant for Bran
-The knife being Tyrion's
-the fire at Winterfell

One thing that I want to better understand was from a few chapters back. Maybe I missed something or just forgot. Why does Catelyn believe Jon Arryn was murdered?

I like this Tyrion quote from the chapter:

"If they want to give you a name, take it, make it your own. Then they can't hurt you with it anymore."

There is so much truth to that statement.

"Joffrey sang for her (Sansa) as they rode, his voice high and sweet and pure."

I may have just thrown up a little inside my mouth.

It is hard not to discuss the tv show on the book threads so I have set this up for tv show discussion.

*****SPOILER ALERT******

IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP TO WHAT HAS CURRENTLY AIRED YOU MAY BE SPOILED HERE!!!

Haha! He is awesome.

I don't even think I read Cersei's description because I was so annoyed at who I got. That was silly of me.

Whoa! I read this chapter and enjoyed it a lot. I think the guy with the knife who came to kill Bran had to be someone sent by a Lannister. I say this because they talked about the knife not suiting this bum (ok they worded it a lot better). The Lannisters have the kind of money to have such a knife and Jaime and Cersei have the motive for eliminating Bran.

Way to go Direwolf!!! ( I forget what his name is.) And Theon wanted to get rid of the direwolf pups, Sheesh.

LMAO! Too funny. I love Jaime. OK he has his issues but he always means well.

Which Lannister Are you Quiz

Yikes I got Cersei!! Who did you get?

I watched the show first and now am reading it for the first time. At times the show was very confusing for me. Reading the book first would definitely have helped me understand a lot of the things that were hard to understand.

Kit Harington - he was in Pompeii too.

It just strikes me as odd that he is wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. I love the Maple Leafs and I love him. (But I don't love that girl in the picture - I am jealous) He may not know much about hockey but he sure knows how to rock the jersey!

(re: Society as a whole)

Very true Ria. I never really saw it that way. You are right, it's not just their families that treat them like S--t.

Have you guys read The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister? It is a quick bathroom-type read you can pick up here and there from time to time. I love that character.

I would say yes I think he likely feels he can relate to Jon. Both are not really feeling wanted by their families. (Black sheep)

Have all you USA residents bought your Powerball tickets? We are not too far from the US border so we have been hearing lots on the news about it.

I often wonder what would happen if you bought a ticket, signed it, won it, then heaven forbid dropped dead of a heart attack. Would the prize money go to your estate if you had not yet claimed it? What do you think?

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

That link is great, Leslie - awesome job moderator!"

Thanks. Sometimes I read in bed and nod off and don't really remember what I read. It is a good place to check if you dreamt that Stuff or if if was part of the book. It is Game of Thrones so one can never be too sure!

How is everyone making out with the book? Have you been enjoying it?

I am about 100 pages in and loving it.
