I am getting a good laugh at this thread. I haven't read the books so I don't know what is coming next. I stay away from anything GoT related online because of spoilers. I saw this thread and looked (not read) and its turning into pretty much spoiler tags.

smh

Sorry to hear that, but in our defense(those who are show watchers only) we've tried to use the spoiler tags for plots and subjects that we don't want to spoil for those who haven't caught up yet.  Unfortunately, there have been a few others who have read the books and seemingly don't really care.  And from an outsider's view, it's difficult to tell the difference between the two so I understand your trouble unfortunately.

After Tomato's post, everything has been (and hopefully will remain) only discussion about the show to date, or speculation of oncoming events.

Venture before that post at your own peril.

On the other hand, either she is less wise than she would seem to be from scenes like that one, or the show is pulling some Three's Company-esque miscommunication games.
Spoiler
It's not surprising that Daenerys is upset to find that Jorah was sent to her and has been sending information back to Varys. But, her decision to toss him out is ill-considered. First, while he obviously feels some obligation to Varys, I think it's clear that Jorah is loyal to her. Second, from what we have seen, he has only sent Varys information that pretty much anyone following her movements (even from a distance) would know. Even her pregnancy wasn't really much of a secret. Third, why not use his position as a known mole to send disinformation back to Varys, when it suits her? A well-timed misdirect when she is planning an attack somewhere could be a huge advantage to her.
And, I understand that she has an axe to grind against Varys, but that's all the more reason to use his own weapons against him.

Spoiler
If I'm watching it right, I would say that Daenerys is choosing to settle down and rethink invading Westeros. By choosing that moment to banish Sir Friendzone, he can only reveal that she isn't posing a threat to the realm. That may be her own way of feeding (false?) information, while also eliminating Jorah as a spy.

One of my friends who read the book said they the show is slightly moving away from the book.  Some minor characters were suppose to die, but they live and etc.  Still, this is a great show.

Love the show, but if episode 10 doesn't spend more time on Tyrion, Arya and a few other characters (I haven't watched the preview for it) than on the situation at the Wall, a LOT of people (me included) are going to be world class ticked off.

And someone please tell me that the Theon situation doesn't last much longer, or he gets killed off soon. I have to resist the urge to change the channel when he's on screen.

I read the fifth book,
Spoiler
Theon situation lasts.
But seriously wasnt Stannis supposed to come charging in and save the Wall?
I cant see how he will do that considering he was on Eassos last time we saw him?

Spade, he's telling you to put the comment about reading the book and knowing "the _____ situation lasts" in spoiler tags. Which you should know to do by now, as several people have made clear that information from the books IS a spoiler. Between that and the fact that you once again double posted, I've reported the posts so a moderator can fix your posts.

spydermann93

Yep, what Tomato said :P

Spoiler
darn, ninja-posting vegetable! :ph34r: :P

Wait,when did I doubleposted?
If its happening its not Me,thats some forum error.

Yeah, same thing happens to me on other forums, too.

Anywho, back on topic! I've detracted this thread far enough! :loupitchfork

I hope they dont move the last episode because of World Cup.

Me, either. We already had a delay because of Memorial Day, and I'm not a Soccer fan by any means.

HarryTrotter

Soccer more or less,I just want to finish the season.

I could see the airing be delayed in other countries due to the World Cup, but the sport isn't exactly popular enough in the U.S. to justify it. And they'd probably get more complaints for delaying the airing due to the World Cup than they would from people complaining that they didn't. Besides, for the latter there's always On Demand....


Reepicheep

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we get it two days later.

It takes an extra day to recover over here.

Now, I know HBO and ESPN have a friendly little contract for business and sharing... But Game of Thrones comes on like at 10pm in Brazil...  I doubt any game would be on that late anyway.

Episode 9 was basicly recreation of Battle for Helms Deep.

Saw the finale and it was pretty good.  Some questions were answer while new one arises. So we have two options: Start reading the books to find out what happens next or wait until next year.......

The books give some away, but the show is moving further from the books all the time.

Bunch of charachters died.
And a bunch of bad CGI.

Just watched the finale and I was a bit confused about something.
Spoiler
Tyrion shot Tywin in the lower abdomen and the shoulder. Those look like wounds that are not life threatening. Yet, I am reading that Tywin was shot in the heart. I didn't see that. One in the lower abdomen and one in the shoulder.

Well it was a bit hard to tell, but he was clearly killed and it was pretty humiliating. CGI was spotty but I guess good enough for TV show. Brienne VS The Hound was awesome, had no idea which way the fight was gonna go since both are formidable fighters. Didn't care too much for Jojen dying for some reason. Finally something interesting happens with Bran. Tyrion strangling Shae was pretty powerful. Lookking forward to next season! :thumbup:

Reepicheep

Spoiler
I wish I could have been more surprised about Tywin's death. But meh. Fortunately, Shae was a huge surprise!

I thought that first crossbow bolt would have done the trick from what I saw - it looked pretty lethal. But I was pretty pumped, so wasn't noticing a lot.

I suppose we haven't seen The Hound's body yet. Even with the show killing people off so much, I'd wager pretty heavily that he's still going. I'm surprised that the Hound didn't decide to take Aria into the Eyrie anyway - he would have been sure to find a paying friend?

I liked Jojan. He was a dude. Sad to see him go.

Did anyone spot Alliser in the bodies at Castle Black?
