Does anyone know when the new season starts?
Mod
March 31st of next year. Still light years away!
I can hardly wait for season 3 to start, and for season 2 to be on DVD, so I can marathon season 1 and 2. So obsessed with this show and these books!!!
I have yet to watch this series, but I would like to soon. :)
Hey, I just got into this show. I'm only two episodes in, and I've been watching it on HBO.com.
I currently am subscribed to HBO (works fine on the tv) but after watching two episodes, and going to watch my third, it says I don't have a subscription....? Anyone who knows how to fix this?

What conflicts or character/story arcs do you most look forward to in season three?
- Daenerys and her dragons. What are her chances of claiming the throne with only infant dragons? Should she be taken seriously?
- Joffrey's rule over the Iron Throne. Will details of his questionable birthright come to surface soon? What of Cercei and her incest relations?
- Sansa. Will she finally grow a vagina and become of use to her family's name?
- Robb Stark as the new king of House Stark and his marriage to Talisa.
- Jon Snow and his encounter with Ygritte and her Free Folks.
- Arya. The last time we saw her, she was still "missing," right?
- Stannis Baratheon and the weird priestess Melisandre.
- Theon Greyjoy and the Iron Islands.
- Gendry, former King Baratheon's illegitimate son.
- Tyrion Lannister. Is he good or evil?
- The White Walkers!
There are dozens of other conflicts and characters, but this is all I can list from memory. I'm mostly looking forward to the White Walkers and events that will unfold in the House of Lannister. Cercei may possibly be my favorite character. I love her because I hate her, and she's so brilliantly conniving in every definition possible. I also get a year added to my life every time Joffrey gets insulted or slapped in the face. The dialogue between Varys and Littlefinger is BRILLIANT. I love their clever tit for tat and I hope they run into each other again in the third season. Tyrion and his bodyguard Bronn are also among my favorites. I like that Tyrion struggles to find the medium between his evil sister and his own conscience. I think one of the highlights of watching GOT is that it has so many side characters that, while they may not advance the story significantly, are cleverly thought out and becomes a pleasure to watch (Jacqen H'ghar, Arya's assassin friend, being one).
The big question is, WHO ARE YOU ROOTING FOR IN THE PURSUIT OF THE THRONE?!

Okay, so I got to like, the fourth episode of season one, and I seriously love it! It's so amazing, the plot is awesome.
But my parents just cancelled our subscription to HBO because it cost too much... I guess I'll just wait and see if it ever gets on Netflix.

Jacqen H'ghar, Arya's assassin friend - Kay, I loved this guy, both the character and the actor! I really hope we get more of him, but I sense he'll be missing for a while.
I'm all about the White Walkers. What the hell are they?
Very interested to see Jon Snow's storyline in the next season. I always felt he was underutilized, or rather he had a dull story, until now.
Rob - finally some romance on this show. (INCEST DOES NOT COUNT.)
I adore Daenerys and the Dragons, and although I like Rob I ultimately want to see her rule.
Tyrion - he's a good guy at heart, definitely. Love him.
Someone please kill and dismember Joffrey soon. It will be as satisfying as Viserys getting bitch slapped.
And this is a little old, but it was such a bummer that Jason Momoa didn't stick around longer. I really enjoyed his character.

I wish Daenerys's dragons were ageing a little quicker, her storming King's Landing with three fully grown dragons would make for amazing tv. Dany is my favourite character, I've loved her development so far.
I want to smack Joffrey in the face everytime he comes on screen, he's quite a good villain in the 'makes me sick to the stomach' way. I think Sansa will get better, she's already beginning to understand how vunerable she is and I think all of the advice Cersei has given her has sunk in.
I love Arya, she's my favourite Stark by far. Tyrion is my favourite Lannister, he's hilarious and cunning and I think the horrible way his family has treated him over the years means that he is super tough.
It was definitely one hell of a way to end the series and I am definitely coming back for more! Other highlights for me are Cersei, Varys, Littlefinger and Jacqen. I also loved everything that happened in Qarth.
You so need to read the books, Stefani. The show is awesome, the books are better ;)

I have a question (I've finished both season 1 and 2), you know how Lady was killed by Ned, and then right when she was killed Bran woke up?
Well, I was thinking, in the first episode, they said each Dire wolf represented one of the Starks. Maybe because Lady was Sansa's, it was representing her losing the right to call herself a Stark, because that was literally RIGHT after she sided with Joffery and kind of betrayed her own sister.

That's a fascinating comment!!! I never thought of that before.Am going to marathon watch S1/S2 this weekend and next, to prepare for S3. I am so excited, it looks like this season is going to be epicness cubed!!!!!!
Watched all of Season 1, shall be starting Season 2 tomorrow night. Hope to be done in time for the premier!!!! I am so excited for the new season, can't wait!
I can't wait until the next season. Sadly my HBO subscription has been cancelled, so I'll have to stream it or something.
Is anyone watching season 3?I'm glad it's back on, I missed it. I'm really enjoying it. I especially like the Marjorie Tyrell (sp?) character, she's interesting and I get the feeling that she's going to give Joffrey his come uppance.
I also think that Jaime Lannister (again, sp?) is becoming a more interesting character.
Yeah, I think Joffrey's going to regret showing Margaery how to use his crossbow.
I can't wait for Joffrey to get his! I'm hoping one of Daenerys's dragons will charbroil him. ;) Even though I figured out Daenerys's real motives in giving up her dragon to the slaver, I have been impressed with her character arc and how she's trying not to compromise her values. I gave her a total "you go, girl" yell at the end of last Sunday's episode. She is turning into a true leader/queen.

Yes, they are epic. You really should, the show is awesome, but the books are way better. The show misses a lot.

I also like to see more into the characters and get more development which you can with the books. I will definitely check them out ... I'll bump them up on my TBR list. :)
While I miss many things cut for time, I actually feel that the show is better. The first book in particular benefits from the show streamlining, making several characters more likable and drastically less stupid (Ned was a moron in the book to the point where I was glad when he died because he deserved it for being such an idiot. In the show, it was sad and I felt for him.), and portraying female characters w/o George R. R. Martin's awkward attempts at writing them. Every time Sansa appeared in the book, I just wanted to scream. And she said "ever so" every other sentence. She makes it two continuous pages in the first book without saying "ever so" once Ned dies, but that's her record. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the books, but I think nearly everything benefits from the show's changes.
The ending of episode 4 of the new series = wow.It was the first time I've been interested in Daenerys's story arc. People will probably violently disagree with this, but so far I've found her kind of dull. But that last scene was epic.
I'm more interested in what's going on in King's Landing and I think the Lannister family is the most interesting one... And Marjorie. And the Night's Watch stuff is fun, although Jon Snow tends to get on my nerves sometimes.
Margaery Tyrell is pretty awesome, if for no other reason than making Cersei squirm.
I love Cersei :( She's so pretty, I keep forgetting that she's not a very nice character, haha. Whenever she does something mean I'm like... but she has such lovely hair and such a pretty face, how could she be so cruel?!

I have only read the books and watched Season 1 of the show and I was shocked when I saw her. They did a great job providing a character who looks innocent and sweet, but who does terrible things. In the book I only hated her - on the show I felt a little bad for her having been married to someone she didn't love.

Cookies for anyone that gets the reference XD

Ohhh I didn't think about that Robyn! I think that makes a lot of sense (view spoiler) I really want to read the books now!
Oops - Spellcheck. Yes "Brienne". Thanks!

Im really exited for season 4! I have not had time for the books so, apart from some evil placed spoilers from various friends, I dont know what to expect.
"DO YOU HEAR ME?"
Ha! Whiplash, beeech!
