HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

thought both those things happened in Kings Landing?

oooh! that's right.

No, they happened on the kingsroad.

ah - well that may explain it then.

Yeah those things happened when the Lannisters visited Winterfell...

wasn't she furious with the Lannisters because she'd figured out they'd poisoned her husband? Why would she throw her support behind them now, even with Littlefinger up there?!

>:)

The Theon/Bolton storyline was difficult enough in the books. Finding it incomprehensible in the series.

having not read the books I'm p much lost on every aspect of that plotline -- who was torturing Theon, where they got him from, who set him free ("your sister sent me"?), who just rescued him ...

hmmm - have i just guess-spoilered somethin?! :D

xpost

Jamie Lannister is kind of a moron, huh.

lol yes i really enjoyed him completely overplaying his HAND c what i did there

wish there was a way to embed so that it played alarmingly out of nowhere, and way too loud

idk I didnt have a problem with the hold steady credits?

i guess it's just like, after an hour or so of being completely immersed in this fantasy world it's like someone hits the eject button out of nowhere and you're propelled out of your couch end-over-end into the terrible reality of 2013

watching ep 3 with helen last night, she was getting kind of mushy over jaime -- "aw, he did something nice for brienne..."
"oh no, no hand, is cersei going to still want him??"
"he's not that bad.. and he's so handsome."

had to remind her that he threw a small child out a window in the first ep.

Child, schmild, the man is foine.

No one answered my question, who is the delightful human being in the post from 6:26?

You can have Jamie Lannister, he's too pointy for me.

he plays varys. xp

i claim jon snow fyi

Seriously why does every man I find attractive turn out to be Irish? I'm doomed. Also wtf Varys?!

In orbit I don't want to ruin it for you but if things between you two get far enough you might be disappointed.

lol @ laurel liking maybe the most repulsive character.
also, good job varys's make-up artist!

haha varys

i didnt even recognize him! he is cute non varysed though

I have always preferred villains to heroes, it's kind of a problem.

i think that picture is like 20 years old is the thing

20 years have passed, and who will lust for poor varys now

oic. Well, clearly our love was not meant to be.

wait what's wrong with the irish

starchy

I don't know, it just never works out.

The Corrs

Priests

Andy Townsend

ok total nerd aside here but I've only seen bits and pieces of this on HBOGo with the interactive stuff but I just tried it out with the XBOX Smartglass App on my iPad and it's pretty sweet if a little ridiculous.

zuh?

does it like give you pop-up video style factoids/extra tits or something?

lol extra tits

where would you even put extra tits

on the men I guess idk

basically you watch the episode on your tv and it syncs with your tablet and when the episode hits a certain point it displays maps or house background or behind the scenes videos or interviews with cast/creators/Martin about specific things. a bit pointless but i dig it nonetheless.

so no boobs

still all those b00bs on the tv screen but maybe there is an interactive guide to them i haven't seen yet

maybe the next iteration will have a boobcam feature though

instant boobs replay

slow mo boobs

i actually want cams from the perspective of the boobs

boobmentary

behind the scenes: the boobs - how they were formed
