Game of Thrones: Season 2

I thought they did well combining the pieces from the books into one event. Last week with combining 2 parts from Arya's story to get them to Harrenhal much faster, and this last episode combining things with Melissandre and eliminating what has thus far in the books been a pretty dead end of a plot line, and one that if important later can be introduced pretty easily in another way.

I'm pretty sure the viewers will know exactly what happened, and why Stannis sent them there early on in the next episode. It should become pretty clear.

I had a feeling the TV version of this book would come off a lot better when compared to it's counterparts than the book fares against it's counterparts, and so far it's proving me right. I think they're doing a great job trimming some fat and the last few episodes have been very tight and productive.

I'm finding the second season to be a major disappointment thus far.

The first season was perfection, and so far, this one is a let-down.

It's going to be difficult to have episodes as tight as they had in the first season, as the storylines multiply so much and there is so much to cover... but then why change the story so much and add complications to the mix?

Adapting this for TV is probably a lot harder than it seems, but right now I'm a little worried about where they're taking things.

I have a few points of contention so far myself, but I would disagree with a few in particular.

They are doing an excellent job with the story-line for Tyrion.

I also like that they are giving more time to Robb Stark than they did in the book, which I think is a good thing.

Arya's story is being developed well.

They are doing a fantastic job with Joffrey. That kid is even meaner than in the book!

Maybe I'm being to critical. I am still enjoying watching it. My expectations were so high, though, after the first season.
 
Is there sub tittles when the Tygarians talk on HBO? I downloaded a season 1 torrent and it doesn't have any. Just wondering if I should look for another torrent.

??

Why would they subtitle English (assuming Tygarians = Targaryens).

There are subtitles for the Dothraki, if it doesn't have that, you might try a legal copy.
 
I thought that episode was one of the best of the series, if not the best. Just amazing!

Every episode from here on out should be balls to the ancient walls FANTASTIC!

It was very good. This has been an awesome season. Didn't think they could get that much better than the first.
 
I couldn't stand King Joffrey when i read the books (I know, not many liked him) and I didn't think I was possible to detest him any more than I already did. However, the kid playing him is doing such an excellent job and proving me wrong.

He and Tyrion both deserve one of these thus far for this season.

I loved Tyrion smacking him the first season.
 
I think Maisie Williams (Arya) should get an emmy nomination as well. The acting on this show is mind boggling considering all of the content and characters. Especially the child actors!

She did a nice job in this last episode when she is talking with Lannister. I loved how he smiled at her at one point but she gives him that stare and says everyone can be killed...wiped the smile right off his face. :laugh2:
