HBO's adaptation of Game of Thrones - Thread 2. There are a lot of nerds.

I'm looking at that title for episode 9 and all I can think of is Daniel Day-Lewis yelling "Bastard in a basket! Bastard in a basket!" near the end of There Will Be Blood.

I think it might feel odd because it seems wrongly timed? Names for battles tend to come much later than the battle, so knowing the name of a battle beforehand seems odd.

Could be worse: could be called 'The First Battle of th Bastards'. But it does imply some resolution between the two.

Chances of Ramsay being torn to pieces by wolves are probably pretty high actually.

I'm trying to avoid spoilers please

Well Littlefinger's a total bastard, maybe he'll show up.

Every time someone says "winter is coming" I'm like fuck off with your spoilers.

Episode 10 is going to clock in at 69 minutes

I bet the producers were high fiving

as well they should've been

gonna be more of a struggle to make a 420 minute long series finale

not that there was any reason to doubt it but those dudes confirmed as being from the brotherhood, with the main dude w/ beard credited on the show as a named book character. also the actor has been fairly amusingly teasing 'spoilers'/trolling fans on twitter

they're doing 7 episodes in season 7, right? if they're each an hour long, that's 420 minutes

/blazin

woaaaaaah

fuck yea

and is if i even have to point this out, but a rumored 6 episodes in the final season? 7 (rumored episodes in season 7) minus 6 is 1. #1 on the television

My brother says Euron is the biggest scumbag in the whole story, is that true?

unless your brother is George RR Martin, then no.

Wait, you can rearrange "Robert Adam Gilmour" into "Dag, George RR Martin!"

The leader of those horsemen was in the brotherhood w/o banners in previous seasons. Thoros of Myr.

I call Sansa ending up as the king's landing ruler at the end of the show. Baelish weds her and becomes king, then falls for LSH and dies.

Leader of which horsemen?

The murderous ones.

I guess that doesn't clear it up. The ones who threatened McShane's village.

Who's LSH?

what's a village?

LSH is a big book spoiler that hasn't happened in the show yet (and may not happen at all).

The leader of those horsemen was in the brotherhood w/o banners in previous seasons. Thoros of Myr.

he was neither in previous seasons nor thoros of myr (paul kaye). he's supposedly lem lemoncloak

Yeah, indeed that was not Thoros of Myr.

I just learned that Podrick is not Gendry and feel like the series is ruined for me. I've been so worried for Podrick every time someone who might want to kill one of Robert Baratheon's bastard sons has been nearby. Bah.

i had that confusion for a while too, my mental image of gendry is still just podrick

Haha that one is an understandable confusion as they are eerily similar looking, but in general this thread gets characters so confused I'm not sure how any of you can keep track of this show at all. It can be hard enough even when you can tell everyone apart.

my mistake of thoros
gendry/podrick messes me up too

It can be hard enough even when you can tell everyone apart.

I honestly don't get this. I have never been confused about who is who and why they work for whomever on this show, and I'm half in the bag most Sunday evenings when we watch it.

I was trying to be sympathetic. I like looking up supplemental details about certain characters or locations (though I haven't gone as far as actually reading the books), so I'm not sure whether certain scenes would have confused me if I had not read up on the context outside of what the show explains.

That's what you do. You drink and you know things.

i def thought it was gendry in the ep. 8 preview

(obv it isnt)

i do wonder if he'd come back in some capacity, if only as an added complication for someone

Guys all the blonde people are Sean Bean and the dark haired ones are CLive Owen. This isn't difficult.

That's what you do. You drink and you know things.

yeah I was so jealous when he said that

thought clive "king in the north" owen would be in it for longer tbh

seems like too much of a coincidence that gendry would set off in a boat east of westeros and then a few years later "euron" appears on a boat from the west.

gendry also had a secretary named euron

Gnedry

End = Ned ...or so we thought (Euron = you're on)

"Ned, you're on"

Ned Stark is back

Gendry was Chris from Skins so I've never had the Podrick confusion.

lol for once i'd be delighted if the obsessives are right

Ah, yes that theory.

....?

gendry can melt steel beams?
