Game Of Thrones

Is The Hound's fate up in the air right now? I have not read the books so wasn't sure if the finale was the last we would see of him or if he comes back.

In book 3 (view spoiler)[ Arya leaves him sort of all banged up and dying, in similar fashion but we do not know if he indeed dies or not. It's open ended, so I hope he makes it somehow! I've seen bigger miracles so far lol (hide spoiler)]

In book 3 [spoilers removed]"

Okay, thanks!

[Kirstin]

The show Hound (view spoiler)[ended up pretty much like his character in the book. He's alive when we last see him but Arya leaves him for dead. There is speculation that he is living with monks in a place called the Quiet Isle as their gravedigger. The character never speaks and hides his face. Who knows? I hope it's him and that he comes back! Love The Hound! (hide spoiler)]

Sorry! I should have put spoiler, fixed!

Thanks!

I don't really have a favorite character on this show and I didn't think much of The Hound when he was first introduced but I did end up enjoying him more during his travels with Arya.

I think Game of Thrones may have surpassed Lost for me as my all time favorite show.

[Holly]

So, anyone else ready for Season 5 this Sunday?

*raises hand*

[Char]

I am!

[Jason]

Me too! But, I am afraid the best parts of the series are done for me. I am very interested in seeing how far they go with Arya and Jaime

But the dragons are gonna be bigger...

[Jason]

I just hope "too fat to ride a horse" makes it into the show. I want to k ow of I'm too fat to ride a horse

[Delmy]

I am very excited, I hope lady stone heart finally shows up! to see tyrion meet daenerys and the sand snakes?! yeah, very excited! but not so much for (view spoiler)[the dragons a friend of mine said one of them dies! and she might be lying and I KNOW they are not real but still that's gonna be sucky! :( (hide spoiler)] still very excited though! :)

I have never been one to collect figurines. AKA Dollies. Toys. But GOT has changed that. I now own a Jon Snow and a Ned Stark figurine which sit on my mantle "Daddy, where are my glasses," my daughter asks. "Next to Jon Snow," I answer, and proud that she knows where this means. I read the first 4 books, haven't finished the series and may not, but the world and inhabitants of GOT are incredible.

Yeah, we have the action figures too. My daughter plays with them wrong; so far the Hound has been seen driving a pink convertible around the house and riding on Misty of Chincoteague.

Nice!

[Erin]

I kick myself for not reading the books when the show first started but I guess it's better to be late then not doing it at all. I am looking forward to the new season!

Holly, that's hilarious! :)

Someone please remove The Hound from the pink car.

Yes!! Especially since some of my other TVs are now done for a while, like The Walking Dead.

It gets better, Charlene; she told me that she is engaged to the Hound and they are getting married when she is 18. So apparently he is going to be my son-in-law someday; should make for some interesting family gatherings.

[Delmy]

I really enjoyed last night's episode, a little slow but quite good. daenerys though (view spoiler)[when she visited her dragons seemed so surprised that they were spewing fire, well, I'd be pretty cranky too if my mama dragon chained me up in the basement! she is a child playing at being ruler, I honestly don't think things are gonna go too well for her. (hide spoiler)] peter dinklage was great as always! :)

She is still a child, but of all of them, I think she has the most potential to be the type of ruler that I could respect.

I'm curious about the guy that she sent away at the end of last season. (I don't remember his name, but he was her personal guard and advisor until she found out that he betrayed her.) I wonder where is he and what happened to him?

[Delmy]

jorah? yeah, I know she is still a child but still she had to have known that dragons grow, they weren't going to stay little! idk, I just hated that scene when she locks up her "babies"! (I know I'm a little harsh, sorry)

I think jorah is coming back, I remember a trailer scene of him in one of the fighting pits, though I don't know how soon that is or if we will see him later. honestly, she is playing at being ruler, this is why she needed jorah. I think he guided her best and she is trying to somehow show that she is a better leader than viserys could have ever been. the trouble is she was raised by viserys and that doesn't help. I think things are gonna get worse before she gets to westeros, not looking forward to that! :(

[11811 (Eleven)]

Episode 4 seems so far away now that the first three got leaked.

[Steve]

I thought it was a great episode. It gave us enough but not too much. The acting of Tyrion, Margery and Sersei as always was exceptional. Very well paced and a defiant ending.

[Holly]

I am really looking forward to what is in store for Cersei; I think I'm going to have some fun this season.

Adrian wrote: "I thought it was four of them that got leaked? I *cough* might know someone who said that was a great episode after a slow start."

It was four. Now, episode five seems so far away. Is it just me or does Sansa kinda look like the statue of liberty?

[Delmy]

I like seeing sansa dressing and looking more and more like catelyn. I think she even doing the stoic pose that cat always had/has (still hoping for stoneheart to show up!), I don't think this is the same timid little bird. she sees that petyr is hiding things from her and I don't think she trusts him as much as he thinks she does. I am liking strong Sansa and I think she is playing petyr a little bit and hope it continues.

[Erin]

Good premiere, a little slow but I am sure the story lines will pick up as the season continues.

[sonya]

I'm reading the books

Me too but I have only read up to book three, I am saving book four until after the season is over.

It looks like Sansa learned and benefited from her association with Lady Olenna and Margery; the Tyrell women seem to have an excellent system for working things to their advantage.

[Steve]

Sansa to kick some Sersei butt in the future I hope?

[Delmy]

I love how sansa has grown, I didn't like her at all at first. she seemed like a useless appendage, but I definitely like her now and Sophie Turner does such a great job playing her character.

[Delmy]

I think the series will cover the rest of book 4 and all of book 5, maybe the beginning of book 6 towards the end. I have to figure the creators of the show are in constant talks with Martin, he must have told them some of book 6 but I hope book 6 comes out soon because the main is falling behind!

[Natasa]

I'll wait till they all come out and make a marathon :)

I've read the first book. I think this is the first time I like the screen more than the book...maybe because it's being filmed so awesome and the characters are played so well.
Oh, actually this is the second time...I already love True Blood much more than the books. Such a shame how the story isn't that good anymore but I still get a few great laughs :)

Adrian wrote: "Holly wrote: "I am really looking forward to what is in store for Cersei; I think I'm going to have some fun this season."

Have you read all the books? I'm wondering how far this series will catch..."

I've read them all. Some of the characters are pretty much at the end of their storyline and some have a little catching up to do. We are really at the point where there aren't going to be any more 'book spoilers' for the show.

[Delmy]

I'm getting frustrated book #6 should've been out by now!! :)

despite that, last night was a great episode, ah! poor brienne! :( and daenerys, I felt bad for her, she has no idea how to rule and way too many advisors. I think she needs Jorah back, he was the only one who advised her honestly. but how about drogon? that last scene was priceless in my opinion! very happy viewer! despite the minor changes.

[Steve]

Apparently the two scriptwriters have now effectively ditched the plotlines of the books and gone their own way which I think is great.
Then we won't have people (not on GoodReads I hasten to add) ruin it for everybody else by telling us what happens in the books.
1st two episodes have been slower and deeper but a nice introduction for when it all kicks off (No I haven't read the books)

[Delmy]

the writers haven't completely ditched the books, there changes but the major plots, the ones that matter are still right along with the books. which makes me happy, though to be fair even if they went completely the opposite way as long as they maintain the essence of the characters, it wouldn't bother me that much.

[Steve]

Haven't read the books but was quoting from "Thronecast". Like The Walking Dead I may read the books in later life when the TV serieses come to an end.

[Holly]

I spent this morning at the car wash, pressure spraying and vacuuming.....then I went to Sears and shopped for a new washing machine.

My subconscious may be trying to tell me I was traumatized by last nights episode.

ick, ick, ick............can we just skip straight to Cersei bald and naked, groveling in the gutter while the population of Flea Bottom throws shit at her? I'd really feel so much better.

[Delmy]

I felt the same way, Ramsay is such an evil character but littlefinger is worse because he left her behind knowing full well who and what Ramsay was. I was hoping theon would do something.

I also can't wait for cercei to get hers but also littlefinger as well, he needs to get his as well.

[Erin]

I think Theon will do something at some point, I could even see him and Sansa joining forces to bring Ramsay (and maybe the rest of the Boltons?) down.

[Mark]

I was praying that Reek would go Theon and make some retribution for his life, and stab Ramsay. And damn, littlefinger is a different kind of evil. (Dick Cheney kind of evil) Interesting how being a dwarve has been Tryion's curse all his life, but at the last second, saved his hide.

[Delmy]

this episode was amazing! Jon is my favorite by far, and kit Harrington is such a great actor. I loved that tyrion finally got to dany but was disappointed she let jorah go! :(

[Holly]

Watching Cersei get a couple good smacks upside the head was very gratifying. Also loved watching her lick water off the filthy floor; I have been waiting for this for a looooooong time.
