    So I'm re-watching this episode and I'm struck by how cute Drogo and Dany are together. He's so scary looking but when she explains the iron throne he just leaves his forehead against hers for a second and smiles.


    It's freaking adorable.

    i've been reading the books one after the other so where one book ends and the other begins kinda blur together now

    i wonder if they'll separate any of the later books into multiple seasons

    That sounds about right.

    I'm curious how they'll handle (maybe Episode 8 spoilers)
    the scene with Jon and Ghost and the wight. Will it be like the scene with Robb and Osha where the wolves are completely absent from the action?

    Either way it should be one of the most exciting scenes thus far in the season.

    It was one of the few scenes that, when reading a book, I was starting to feel some lower bowel movements going on.

    book 3 is considerably longer than the first two books. They will almost certainly need to split that one up.

    They'll probably have to for book 3 at least

    Possibly 5 if what my friend told me is true that it's the longest book at 1700+ pages or so.

    Storm of Swords is like eleventy billion pages so it could fill up 2 seasons.

    Renly gets killed by the shadow.

    also, also, it too me until book 3 (so maybe i'm slow) to realize
    that wights and Others are different things

    and in the show, didn't they call Others like "White Walkers" or something?

    probably because of Lost

    Nah I don't think the distinction between Others and wights is something that is really obvious at first.

    After your first readthrough it may seem obvious but I know it wasn't clear to me initially either.

    i didn't realize it until the Sam chapter in Book 3 where they attacked the Fist of the First Men and it was like "The wights came, and then the Others came"

    i just thought they were all the same thing, that the Others were a race of undead people

    Think of it this way; the wights are the Lakers, the Others are the Heat.

    The wildlings are the Mavs.

    If I'm following this analogy, then after Lebron James kills someone, the corpse turns into Kobe Bryant and chases after Dirk Nowitzki.

    So I think whatever this new cable company is that my school switched to is using West Coast HBO instead of the East Coast.

    This is messing with my head. Curse you nameless cable company!

    In the prologue, which is really the only reference to them for a long while, they don't really get into those kind of specifics.

    I don't remember them being talked about in any meaningful detail until book 2.
