This show always impresses me with its visuals, but tonight featured some particularly beautiful photography. The scene between Littlefinger and the crying whore, the horseback ride with Theon and his sister, and the priestess's seduction were all really stunning.
They are certainly deviating from the book a lot this season. The biggest change is the handling of Stannis. Not sure if I like it so far.
Sure why not?

If you don't have the book that lets you know the family trees this site:

Has helped me out a lot. It's specifically for the show so it does contain spoilers for the show but it doesn't contain spoilers for the books so that's nice. Most characters near the bottom have family trees.
I'm surprised it took them that long to get teh Van Houten naked.Quoting Watashi (view post)
Thanks to a good friend of mine (the same one who got hooked on the show along with me a while back) I was able to view the first two episodes of the new season on Sunday.
Really I dug the second episode way more than the first. The first seemed a bit too much like "Well here are some new characters, plus we'll just spend a bit of time letting you know what's going on here" without really progressing the story all that much. Now the second episode was more entertaining, and faster paced which I preferred more.

I heard the plan for the rest of the series will be to mix and match scenes from all the books so far, instead of one book : one season.Quoting Watashi (view post)

Really glad to hear we will get a third season. With so many epic and shocking moments, that season has the potential to be absolutely fantastic.Quoting Watashi (view post)
Oh cool. I didn't know that the 9th episode titled "Blackwater" is being written by Martin and being directed by Neil Marshall.
Should be epic.

Apparently season three will cover approx. the first half of Storm of Swords. Gee, I wonder what it will build up to???

Holy jeebus to the shadow birthing scene. I was wondering how they would handle that. Looks like they fully committed to it.

That last scene ... WTF?
I'm starting to suspect, despite other merits, that Martin really is an ass.
I thought we all agreed on that already?Quoting Irish (view post)

Reminds me of the SNL skit two weeks ago where Martin consulted with a 13-year old boy about when nudity and sex was needed on the show.Quoting Qrazy (view post)
Pretty funny. And worked well as a good-natured criticism too.

Do the synopses on imdb.com have public editing access? Because I was reading the synopsis of the latest episode and came across this at the end...

I was in a sour mood when I posted that, having watched two episodes back to back, and a few other things ---
I guess I'm just choking on some of the more gender specific gender tropes (eg evil females wielding magic, etc).

Yeah, he's a bit like Heinlein in that regard.Quoting Irish (view post)
A friend of mine ranted about how much he prefers Game of Thrones to Lord of the Rings the other day because it's more 'adult'. And whatever he can have his preference but I take some issue with the reasoning behind it. It's certainly much more gritty and raw about life in it's world but laying on thick doses of sex and violence does not make it more adult to me.
I've read the first three of Martin's books and I have yet to see him come anywhere close to a phrase such as... "It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule."
