HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)

[elliseamos]

I'm a ygritte fanboy
guilty as charged. I actually like her accent.

i'm on this team too.

[epilogue]

I really like the character a lot, as well.

I was surprised how quickly Jon abandoned Ygritte too. I'm hoping for a little more of a follow up from him in the finale.

I think it shows that he's really the only one from House Stark (even though he's a bastard) to not give a shit about the "right" thing. God knows the "right" thing didn't get Ed, Rob, Cat, and Talisa anywhere but dead. And it may actually work out for him.

By the way, I don't get everyone's hard on's for Ygritte. She's not that good looking in the series.

what do you mean he doesn't give a shit about the "right" thing? Abandoning her was the "right" thing because of his oath to the night's watch.

This. Jon was able to comprehend that deception is sometimes necessary, something Ned never was able to do.


And Ygritte's body is amazing but I cannot stand to hear her speak and cringe a little every time she opens her Chav mouth.

her body is amazing? Looked emaciated to me. I think everyone just loves her because she's kissed by fire.

and she has a filthy mouth

This is what I'm referring to, which is why I used "right" in quotes (people could argue he did the right thing by leaving her, while others would argue being noble and sticking with her would have been right).

I'm pretty sure that you don't understand Jon Snow if you argue that sticking with her would be right.

I never read the books, but did get a little spoiled. I was 24 hours late in watching this, and I had heard the rumble from the internet and knew something was up...I then saw a photo of the king of the north, and I knew he'd be dead....the wedding was too smooth and that dude was too creepy so figured there'd be a bloodbath there.

Great episode in a great season, as predicted by those who read the books.

Well, I'm not George R.R. Martin, and suspect that no one that posts here is. I haven't read the books. My knowledge of all things Jon Snow is based on a collective 90 minutes of screen time that he has received since the start of the series. I haven't been adjudicated by a court of competent Game of Thrones jurisdiction to be a Jon Snow expert. So I can't profess to be all knowledgeable of Jon Snow. So perhaps I don't understand Jon Snow as much as others here, including you. I really just stop by here when I have a few extra minutes during the day to blow off steam and discuss a TV show that I really enjoy watching. You, however, seem to be taking this pretty seriously.

And I'm pretty sure that I never argued that sticking with her would be right.

Hey man, I was just having a discussion about game of thrones and disagreements happen when you have one of those. The only thing I am talking serious about is that the show has spelled out who the character is and you said that you can see people justifying either action, when one is out of character. I didn't imply that YOU were the one arguing that either, I was just dismissing the notion that some people would without their love of redheads who get naked and talk dirty getting in the way of that assessment.

My wife is pissed. I knew it was coming and thought it was well done (other than the throat cutting - those looked fake as hell). My wife, on the other hand, said she's done with the show. She said nearly as much when she read the first book and got to Ned's beheading...and she never picked up the series again. Hopefully I can get her to watch next week and she'll ride out the shock. I thought they did a good job of the obvious foreshadowing - I think when it's heavy handed like that, it builds up the dread. The missus caught on that something was up, and asked me to spoil it three times. The last time she was pretty serious, so I told her the joke about GRRM and twitter, but didn't elaborate. Apparently I didn't soften the blow quite enough. "I don't watch shows so everyone I'm rooting for can die!"

Spoiler related to future events, no surprise for book people:

Spoiler: show

Hopefully next week we get Joff's wedding and she can feel good about Westerosi karma again before the interminable break.

i can finally surf the internets again.

jesus christ. :/ i recognized the rains of castamere song and understood that it was not a good sign, and for the next 5-10 minutes i was as anxious about a tv show as i have ever been. i love that a television show can do that to me. i love that no one is safe. but it still sucks to see it happen.

i read a review suggesting all the signs were there that something was afoot, so it should be fun to re-watch the season and pick out what was missed. i know for sure that bolton letting jamie lannister go without appearing to gain anything in return (you don't let jamie go with only the promise of riches), which seemed really odd given that he was a stark guy, actually WAS really odd and should have been a huge red flag. i mean, even jamie seemed surprised!

jon snow's story also took an unexpected twist. i don't know who looked more heartbroken, ygritte or jorah when that toothy dude made his dramatic entrance.

That's fair. I certainly wasn't trying to start a Game of Thrones flame war. It just sounded like by referring to "you" that you were referring to me specifically instead of a collective "you."

Carry on.
