True but Edmure has had such a small part so far that I wouldn't lump him with Stannis.

OMG the commentary with Robb stark and Catalyn Stark with the director is so worth it for their own reaction to the end while watching the episode. It was the first time that Catalyn watched the episode and they mention the youtube videos with the reaction. Man that was freakin intense.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I'm fine with him as Daario, what bothers me is that he's played by a different guy now in season 4. Actor changes are really annoying.

Yea it really sucks that they changed him. Some of the minor character changes weren't as big of a deal to me but for Dario its going to really bother me. I know the Mountain was recast for this season but since we haven't seen him since season 1 and he had a small part and was wearing lots of armor, it may not be a big deal.

He appeared in the second season for a few episodes in Harrenhal. Played by a different actor than the first, which is a different actor from this one. :lol

I really don't like they're recasting Tommen. Because they're using the actor who already played Martin Lannister from this show.

I was fine with Daario too, btw, just found it funny.  :biggrin:

So I love Game of Thrones! Very few shows have made me feel so immersed into a fiction world like GoT does. It's like every episodes just gets better and better to the point you almost wonder how the hell do they do it. Haven't read the books but i'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons the show is so well written.
In a week the 4th season begins and I can't believe 1 year has passed since the last season. Oh man I cannot wait!!

I'm not sure if this is about the books as well, but the new Arya chapter from TWOW George released yesterday is freaking awesome.

If this thread is only about the show, well, I can't wait for the fourth season!

I've avoided the TWoW chapters that are out there but good to know that Aryas is good.

This thread is only about the show.  But Martin should hurry up and release ALL of the chapters.  NOW.

This.

I avoided the DwD prerelease chapters and I intend to do so with TWoW as well. When it comes out then I'll read it all. :)

Yeaaahh, if you guys could avoid mentioning which charachters have chapters and therefore are still alive by the time of TWoW, that would be great.

I had never watched this show until 3 weeks ago. Since then, after watching the first episode and loving it, I watched all 3 seasons in 3 weeks! and if that isn't enough, I watched season 1 and 2 again with my wife as I talked her into getting involved saying she must watch this show! She is now caught up as well! I love this show!

Lucky you, I'd gladly rewatch to get my fiancé interested but she refuses and for know reason. I think it's because of all the nudity though.

The nudity is definitely abundant but it isn't gratuitous. It works with the context of the show. At least that's how I feel.

A lot of it is definitely gratuitous.  Pretty much all of the prostitute sexposition scenes, for example.

Im not complaining from my view, but I see a lot of it as gratuitous specifically the above. The show created a character that isnt in the books who was mostly naked (Ros).

I don’t know. I see it as an accurate portrayal of what it was probably like. Is it necessary? Probably not, but I take it in the context of the show. It’s not like it comes across as porn. At least not for me, but definitely some may see it otherwise and I would not blame them.

Definitely dont see it as porn and you are probably right about accurate portrayal, but I dont know if all of it is necessary.  The point I was making originally is that I believe it makes my fiance uncomfortable be cause there is a good amount of it and its more than boobs/ass.  She'll never admit it to me, but I know her well enough to get the feeling that is the reason why she wont watch.

After watching Rome I really don't think Game of Throne's nudity is much to get worked up about.

FIFY

And im not arguing from my perspective, because I dont care.  Nudity doesnt make or break a show for me.

Spartacus' nudity was really distracting. They tried to make it mean something the majority of the time but man I could've done with a looot less.

I thought it was fine at first because they tried to portray it as this was what Ancient Rome was like but in the last two seasons it became more of softcore porn.
