ah, and the Martell's are home to the famed Dornish wines/whores. Can't wait to see them.

also apologies for asking clarification questions here from time to time, but google is a minefield of spoilers

(going to assume there are spoilers there, btw)
There are only spoilers there if you click into one of the houses and read about it. On the root page it's fine.

so Stark and Tully have been officially exiled?

I almost feel like putting up a poll of favorite houses, but I probably would never recover from the feelings of dorkiness.

aw man not another fucking smoke monster

tyrion aside this was a horrible and shitty episode and probably for the first time kinda made me feel like a saddo for even watching this show
the thirteen were SO CRINGE
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 00:41 (twelve years ago) link
it's the same smoke monster--irc the island is in westeros somewhere.thought the last two eps were both kinda middling but i'm gonna stick w it of course.

I definitely cringed a little at "Xaro Xhoan Daxos". I mean it's fine on the page...

they're going insanely overboard with the sex and violence too. Most of which is not on the page
― Number None, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 00:51 (twelve years ago) link
this one was probably the worst of the series. exposition was clunky and they couldn't even hang it on some decent thematic thread. obv i am crazy excited about next week, because I always am.
This was the last ep sent to critics (at least in the initial review package), which is the same as last year, and iirc it was about episode five where it became less about establishing everything and more about shit kicking into gear. I'm hoping this season follows that same rhythm, but with so much new crap i dunno.

I really don't think they are. There seems to be a lot less sex at least, at least as far as pointless nudity goes (only real case of sexposition all season was greyjoy in the ship iirc).
Violence is brutal, yes, but in times of war it makes sense that the worst excesses of a culture comes out.

Yeah, but this psychopathic in a different way. I thought it was the best scene of the episode.

There are times in the books where the names come dangerously close to turning into Dr. Seuss names.

This was the last ep sent to critics (at least in the initial review package), which is the same as last year,
Critics got six eps last year! I expect that semi-major characters will start to bite it starting next episode (I haven't read the books; I'm just guessing) and they want to hold onto that as long as they can...
― Walter Galt, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 14:25 (twelve years ago) link
Walter, your expectation is correct.
So... being careful not to spoil... in the books, Arya becomes Roose Bolton's cup-bearer at Harrenhal, not Tywin's, correct? This is a BIG change from the book and I'm not sure where they'll head with it...

I don't think a departure from the book is a spoiler.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:47 (twelve years ago) link
its not a departure from the book, his post references stuff that hasnt happened yet
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:48 (twelve years ago) link
except that it won't happen now, because Tywin is at Harrenhal instead
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:49 (twelve years ago) link

Sorry! What Gukbe said there was my reasoning as to why it wasn't a spoiler. Will talk on the other thread.

according to the poster that is from the press kit and is a preview of the Blu-Ray feature. kind of thought HBOGo would mean I wouldn't have to bother buying the set but damn, if that's the kind of extras they've got.
