Spoiler [+]Do you think HBO will freak out the audience and end an episode with "Bran" and "Rickon's" heads on spikes as Martin did in the book?
I think it would be a huge "OH s---" moment for to see Theon take Winterfell and leave the episode thinking he killed Bran and RickonSpoiler [+]would be the smart thing to do. They should leave the reveal til the end of the last episode of the season

Spoiler [+]no way hbo shows kids' heads on spikes
And Ned's remains. That stuff happened off-screen in the book. Littlefinger disappears too, but here, instead of anonymous shipment of Ned's bones were sent to X, we get this moment, where Catelyn confronts Littlefinger and he tells her these lies that they still have Arya and that he tried to help Ned.
Exactly.
Arya under Tywin is a cool idea. Although not in the books, it makes the non-book reader feel like the story is more interwoven. Plus, if they don't put her under Tywin we would have to introduce ANOTHER character that really doesn't need to be on TV. It's a smart move IMO.
Arya running around til she got caught and put in Harrenhal anyway was kind of a pointless arc in the book.
I agree. If they used screen time and money to do this I as a TV viewer would be like "WHY!?!" because there's no payoff and it adds no depth to her story.
Shae isn't Sansa's maid
No one cares about her storyline at this point so she needs to just be kept around one of the "main" characters so the TV viewers know she's there. If they put Shae with someone else you have to introduce more characters that don't have any pay-off this season.
Those people that Robb attacked in the first scene...who were they? Everyone is claiming to be the king so exactly what "kingdom" did Robb just raid (sorry if question doesnt make sense)
That was a Lannister encampment. You can tell my their armor, the red sashes and the helm looks kinda samurai-iish (Same with Harrenhal).
This episode's relation to book 3 that I REALLY enjoyed:
Spoiler [+]The scene with Tyrion and Sansa. Him holding his hand out to help her up and protecting her. This is just a really small thing that people can look back on when re-watching season 2 and see how it affects their relationship when they're married.

Spoiler [+]they literally just did this episode. (that kid who stared them in the face)
I mean, they had a dude stab a baby to end an episode and had a had a shadow creature crawl out of a chick's (|) this one.
I wouldn't put it past them...

Second question is what happened to Stannis and Renely to bring them to the point where they hate each other.
And lastly, how did she get pregnant so fast, and what in the hell was that thing
Smh he's doing it all wrongOriginally Posted by Jking0821
Hard to tip to around this thread. Really dont' want to read something by accident lol
So to my SHOW ONLY WATCHERS:
Episode was
Tyrion
Weird pregnancy sceneshadow baby?
My girl Khalesi (sp?)like a boss
Joeffrey is a doosh. Forcing the....harlots....to beat each other was messed up. I can't wait til he dies
I wasn't paying attention to the intro. That's a nice touch thoughOriginally Posted by Spidermachine916
anyone else liking how the beginning theme keeps changing?
one thing that i didn't like was how harrenhal was just "there" it didn't do that -popping out of the ground effect- that it does to the other areas

It's difficult to tell if Melisandre is evil or not. I'm skeptical of Stannis being the chosen one. That shadow child definitely makes people think dark magic. She's what they call a Shadowbinder. Other followers of R'hllor are introduced later on and they have magical abilities too. I like how religion and magic start to play a big part.
For a second I thought it was Yara Greyjoy and not Lancel that was at Tyrion's door. I was like wth? The actress playing her has a manly looking face.

A lot of secondary characters will be excluded like that fat lady that Shae originally was supposed to be a servant to. My brother is really confused and always asking me questions since the background of characters isn't mentioned or only talked about briefly. Renly talked about it a little bit about how Stannis is ahead of him in succession but that Stannis isn't popular or loved. He's very stern and by the book. Renly is more charismatic and remind people of Robert when he was young. Renly's forces are 100k plus and I think Stannis is around 20k.
Dani has barely been i this season. I found it weird that the title of the episode was "Garden of Bones" in reference to the area surrounding Qarth but there were only a few scenes of it.
We only saw the new actor playing The Mountain for a few seconds. I thought the previous actor was perfect for the role, I hope the new guy is intimidating as well.
