Would you not done the same thing had you received the reception he did from his sister, father and countrymen? If there's one thing Theon is when it comes to his heritage is proud and he's trying to gain back pride while showing his father "I am worthy of being your son, your heir!"

Human nature is human nature on that end, I'd say.

One other development that's got me intrigued is how Stannis seems to be having buyer's remorse regarding the devil's pact he's made with Melisandre.  Davos was smart enough to advise him about what to do with her next.  I'm sure Melisandre's cunning nature has caught on to this plot to sideline her though.

So that was another awsome episode last night!  Very plot heavy and set up a lot of exciting stuff to come in the second half of the season.  Me likey.  Also that awesome shot of the brothers of the Watch setting up shop at the Fist of the First Men with the lovely Iceland scenery and Ghost just chillin= :hefdaddy.

I loved how that scene was shot. Ghost was just standing there being all "yeah, badass dire wolf here, whatcha gonna do? NOTHING."  :biggrin:

Huh.  It's either dudes unwilling to chop off heads or being plain miserable at the task of doing so on the latest episode.

So man, they really are deviating from the book a lot this season, but you know what?  I kind of like it.  A lot.  I've read the books, I know what happens in that version of the story.  Changing things up here and there on the show makes it more interesting for me, because now while I obviously know the gist of where things are going I don't know exactly how it will all go down.  Me likey.  Another great episode!  :tup  Loved the Jon & Ygritte scenes, and man are they doing a good job of making Theon seem like such a little bitch!

Agreed, even with all they've deviated I really thought this episode was magnificent!

I just hope the writers don't change a thing about the things that happened on the House of the Undying.

"Demon monkey!?"  :lol Love that man.

Recent episode was pretty good, I'm interested in what will become of those poor little dragons and where they are being taken to. I'm assuming it's the Undead place or whatever, but don't consider this a spoiler considering I know nothing of the books and have been a relatively casual fan of the show until a few episodes ago. I'm going back and watching S1 now.

There were some great scenes in recent episode.  Theon & Winterfell, Jon and Ygrette, Dany and that Qarth merchant (forgot his name)

Also, the actress that plays Margaery Tyrell might possibly be the most amazing thing in the universe.

Not to worry, the dragon kidnapping isn't in the books. Dany's subplots in the second book are a little slow, so I guess they decided to spice them up some.

I'm finally caught up on this season. Wow. This show may now be my favorite on TV. This season gets more intense by the episode and the characters and scenery are beyond amazing. I find this season so far to be a lot better than the first and that's not to say the first was bad, I just wasn't so consumed in the 7 kingdoms as I am now.

I would go the opposite way: last season was brilliant and I couldn't get enough of it. This season for me was slow to pick up pace but the last couple episodes have been dynamite.

I've been generally pleased with this season so far.  Clash of Kings would be a hellish book to adapt, IMO.  Game Of Thrones has a much more straight-forward structure, so I was a bit harsher on some of the deviations.  So far though, Season 2 had a slow start, but now that it's kicked into high gear, it has been excellent.  The changes to the book actually enhance the story and feel much more natural than before while in Season the additions usually amounted to either Ros fucking someone or two characters chatting about something.

So yeah, big thumbs up from me for Season 2 so far.  If the quality keeps on going up like this, Season 3 is going to result in a lot of spooge-covered televisions.

I think they are doing really well with parts of it.  Tyrion's scenes have been fantastic (and I really have trouble imagining them otherwise since they're so well written in the books) as well as Arya's and especially Theon's.  However, their adaptation of the Stannis/Davos storyline has been weak and, I imagine, very confusing for non-readers.  Also, Qarth hasn't been very interesting, but I understand that they need to remind the watchers that Dany is around without terribly eventful things going on for her in the book's narrative.

Yet another fantastic episode. The interactions between Tywin and Arya are just full of win! In fact, most character interactions on this episode were very, very good.


To the other book readers, was I the only one who fistpumped at "You know nothing, Jon Snow."

I giggled like a little school girl to which my girlfriend looked at me like :facepalm: :|

Help on this (spoiler)
Also, maybe I missed it in the books and the show;  but why was Theon remorseful at the final scene.  Who were those two people?  Seemed like kids from the farm nearby; but he ordered it to happen.

Spoilers too, don't read.


but that's like 2 years away. The executive producers have stated that ASoS will be divided into two season (no way in hell they can fit the book into 10 episodes) and I'm guessing they'll end the first season/part on the Red Wedding and that happens afterward.
