SPOILER QUESTION

The Song of Ice & Fire wiki says Viserys appears in three books. Is he just mentioned for two books thereafter or have two novels already gone by?

Maybe as a flashback. This is still only the first book.

To answer Super Dude's question:

First season covers only the first book, and Viserys is most definitely 100% dead. He's just mentioned often in Dany's chapters, in her memories.

I loved Harry Lloyd though. :-X

Episode 7 has the worst scene of the series, but other than that is perfectly executed.

He never seemed like the guy we'd see skinning an animal but considering Charles Dance is awesome and the symbolism involved that scene was great

Yep.

I kind of liked Petyr's monologue, especially "I'm not going to fight them, I'm going to fuck them; that's what I know, that's what I am, and only by admitting what we are can we get what we want", but the scene was drawn out and made lame by the porno tryouts that made it impossible to focus on him. And even though I kinda like the actress I get annoyed whenever Ros is on the screen because they obviously only made her up for the sake of random sex scenes that aren't squicky (like a lot of the book's), and she's pretty pointless unless she replaces Shae, the -ayas, or, most likely, is one of Varys's little birds spying on Littlefinger. Considering Theon's attachment to her I thought she was going to replace that mistress of his he had in A Clash of Kings, but that's obviously not the case anymore.

Also they should cancel Game of Thrones and give us this:

What a fucking show this is.

Episode 7 was the best so far, just like all the other episodes that have fallen before it.

Damn, I can't wait 2 weeks to see what's gonna happen next. Might have to start speed-reading the book.

Pain is temporary. Pride is forever.

I haven't read the books.

The fact that all the Baratheon's had dark hair means that Joffrey is the son of the milkman? The King has some huge horns on him?

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

In tonight's episode, will Baelish's monologue to the prostitutes be meaningful down the road?  (The one about the love he lost)'

Who's the guy he lost to in the duel, and who's the brother?

Catelyn Tully was betrothed to Brandon Stark.  Littlefinger challenged him to a duel over it, and got predictably sliced up.  Then Brandon Stark went and got himself killed and Ned married Catelyn in his place.

Who's the guy he lost to in the duel, and who's the brother?

That scene wasn't actually in the book, it serves as exposition/backstory for something that was explained in the book through a character's thoughts/memories. They can't do that on TV, so they used it here.

As Guinea said, the guy he lost the duel to was Brandon Stark, Ned's brother (who the Mad King murdered, which is one of the things that prompted Robert's rebellion). He also gave Petyr Baelish the nickname Littlefinger.

Yeah, I was so happy to see him because I thought he was brilliant in The Wire, and I hadn't seen him in anything since.
