so I was going to respond to the torrent and stream suggestions with a sactimonious response about how I don't want to watch this through non-legit means and want to wait for the HD glory of blu-ray, but then I thought "what the hell" and started checking out the streams.

I watched the first 3 episodes of season two and they are great! Clash of Kings is my favorite of the books so I think I'm really going to enjoy this.

So far the major changes (Mel and Stannis doin' it, Renly's love troubles, various other little details) haven't struck me as nearly egregious as the annoying new scenes from season 1. I hope this continues for the rest of the eps.

Hmm... I thought it would embed but I think I broke it by trying to do the specific time URL. Anyway, yeah - 2min 20s:

Walter Galt, Thursday, 7 June 2012 15:07 (fourteen years ago)

in order for it to embed, the v=[youtube tag] parameter has to come right after the question mark otherwise the site doesn't recognize it as an embeddable Youtube URL

I hate how she dips her head and moves it funny while she's talking? I think it's supposed to mimic predators surveying their prey or w/e and it gets used really clumsily sometimes to connote sexual rapaciousness or primitiveness of some kind and tbh it's just obnoxious on a lot of levels.

how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Thursday, 7 June 2012 18:07 (fourteen years ago)

I only just recently realized she was Tonks in Harry Potter (slow/too lazy to imdb)

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 7 June 2012 18:07 (fourteen years ago)

hmmm laurel that's a v interesting catch.

the thought of Joff with Natalie Dormer still gives me shivers

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 7 June 2012 18:32 (fourteen years ago)

I mean I didn't really think about it at the time, because Littlefinger crepeing on Sansa out-shivered it but still

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Thursday, 7 June 2012 18:33 (fourteen years ago)

is that face she does her smile or just a face she does

On episode 7 and my least favorite part about season 2 so far is the recasting of Tywin as Arya's cuddly grandpa.

The scene where Jaqen changes his face gave me chills.

In the books, Joff's paternity is an open secret among the small council, but I forget who knew about it before Ned blew the lid off of that. Littlefinger, and maybe Varys?

Pubes Like Jagger (Leee), Sunday, 17 June 2012 21:55 (fourteen years ago)

Oops, I mean, who on the show version knew about Joffcest before Ned.

Pubes Like Jagger (Leee), Sunday, 17 June 2012 21:56 (fourteen years ago)

I think it could have been an open secret amongst the small council. They never seemed shocked by the accusation, nor did it matter to them. The Maester must have known if he killed Ned's predecessor for finding out.

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Sunday, 17 June 2012 22:00 (fourteen years ago)

I'm not entirely sure we know who killed jon arryn yet

Clay, Sunday, 17 June 2012 22:23 (fourteen years ago)

I thought the Maester told Tyrion that he did. I've not read the books so I might be wrong.

I understand, though. Every time I read GRRM nattering about football or working on Wild Cards or whatever I feel like yelling "SIT DOWN AND WORK ON WINDS OF WINTER!" but it wouldn't do any good.

I found him in a Bon Ton ad (Nicole), Friday, 29 June 2012 17:14 (fourteen years ago)
