Game Of Thrones: Season 2 - Episode 1 Recap (HBO)

[NextGenTrophys]

Can't wait for Episode 2 on Sunday.

[potatoe]

Cant wait to see Balon Greyjoy listening to Theon. I knew he would come good.

[AnaatthiGozo]

Seeing Grey Wind was my favorite scene in the episode.

[natp]

I love the cersei little finger scene because it was so unexpected but they really chose the wrong character for it. That totally undermines the little finger established so far and in the books. He plays the game and no one suspects him, he doesn't openly threaten powerful people before he can get rid of them.

[museluvr]

I'm actually on a waiting list at the library to get all the books in one fell swoop to read. Looking forward to them.

[LadyLyanna]

Don't worry the discrepancies aren't that obvious... well aside from Ros who isn't in the books, and Robb having his romance with Jeyne they actually followed it quite well. I really suggest you read the books, its still way better than the TV adaptation.

[DannySpud]

To avoid confusion with Drogo. They've done it in other cases too (Asha/Osha). It makes sense, names are clearly different on paper but not necessarily out loud.

[Stilesfiles]

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER...
...GAURDS SLIT HIS IS POWER!!! My favorite part so far.

[AutoPsychotic]

I think it was actually Eddard who sent the letter to Stannis, because when he found out all Cersei's children were Jamie's, he established that Stannis was the rightful heir.

[NeedNeedle]

even cleon frey is called something lannister to stress the fact he's half lannister... Wait, if they avoided calling jhogo the ko because he's similar to drogo, how will they call Drogon?

[gustavengman]

I want to see their major videos, like trailers and teasers. Not commercials. They're basically uploading the same thing over and over.

[museluvr]

The author himself is prone to having things changed for the series. I've got to get the books and see how it originally all went down.

[robboaron]

That's different since Drogon is actually named after Drogo, so it should be kept similar.

[HausOfHayden]

In the books Stannis had Jon Arryn (the Hand before Ned) investigate it. Jon send him a letter saying that they were bastards and then was murdered.

[NeedNeedle]

it's terribly confusing all the same, since both the barbarian and the dragon are fierce! oh no I can't make out the difference! XD

[yma_masonry]

is this gonna be on the second book or second and third combined?

[wisha]

Where can i watch season two full episodes??

[Reinshark]

It could be that Joffrey made it known to Cersei that he wanted it to happen, and then she gave the "official" order - any such orders come from her anyway, until Joffrey is of age to rule. I'm pretty sure we don't know the details of what happens in the book either way.

[AutoPsychotic]

It was in a letter sent to Stannis by Eddard before he died.

[Galvorn]

Me neither, but i think that was curious, i mean my first thought was the resemblance of Ser Dontos armor with the flag, maybe some kind of easter egg, who knows?.
