my wife and I both read the books but that didn't stop my wife from peeking out from under a blanket.  She refused to fully watch.

Suspeeeennnnnssseeeeeeee!!!!!

I'm watching it at my friend's house later during the TV premier. Shouldn't have gone on this thread, but I couldn't help it. I'm really excited, especially after 1 extra week of wait. Man, oh man!!!

Awesome show.  I told my girlfriend that the second to last episode is generally the best and she responded, "Oh... is it going to be the red wedding?"  ... so I kind of had a hint of what was going to happen.

Then (possible future spoiler?) after it happened I joked, "oh well, good riddance... I didn't really like Mama Stark anyways" and she gave me a funny look...   I'm pretty sure I know what the funny look means.   It really sucks watching GOT with someone who has read the books.

...I'm almost as heartbroken as the 2010 Finals, Game 7.



WHY!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!

WHY MUST THIS HAVE HAD TO HAVE HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

To me, this was more heart wrenching than Ned dying because I didn't really expect something of that magnitude. I mean, at least they could've let baby Eddard live...or his wife...or Lady Stark (for sentimental value)......or the dire wolf.......

I just discovered GoT earlier the year and I am so hooked. I've been catching up on the episodes and have read the 1st book. I can't wait to catch up in the summer, after the final episode. Does anybody know if it'd be a good idea to start on the 4th book after watching the 3rd episode? Or should I read the 3rd first?

I did not see that coming at all - I was thinking that Robb was probably going to die because of the Melisandre slug thing (Can we do that against Lebron's basketball skill?), as well as Joffrey. I didn't see it being a complete massacre, though.........

It's not over for the Starks, methinks.

It's always, the Starks, isn't it? 

They die faster than the Lakers getting top tier free agent big men.

That epic scene cant put me to sleep. I did not see that slaughter happened. Part of me almost cried when Talisa got stabbed right in the belly.

And Arya to be so close then realize what is really going on when she saw the dire wolf get bowed.

Oh my lord what a sad yet masterfully made episode.

I haven't read the books so no spoilers here just guesses...  but I think Arya is going to become a badass warrior some day.  Jaqen, the faceless man from Braavos, was probably my favorite character on the show.  He gave Arya an open invitation to come to Braavos, but she decided to find her brother and mother instead.  Now that that ship has sailed, I'm going to guess she gets her butt to Braavos for some badass training.  During her conversation with the Hound she talked about the faceless man.  When she told the Hound that someday she'd stab him through the eye out the back of his head... I believe her. 



What I'm wondering is though... if she does decide to go to Braavos, would they show her journey and training there?... or do you think she'll just venture to Braavos... then we will not see her for a few seasons and she'll make a surprise return some day in some epic fashion?  Can't wait to find out.  It's a great show.

Having read the books, last nights episode was like watching Titanic.  They did do a great job selling Walder's "welcoming".  Arya's path is among my favorites in the story.  Gotta go with Tyrion still for most interesting!

the third season is not the whole third book, so you need to read the third book before reading the fourth book.

No one is safe in Game of Thrones.   I never liked the young wolf storyline so I am glad to see him go.   Arya seems to be the instrument of revenge to me.

Even greater shockers await you, folks.

[Snakehead]

Easily one of the most brutal scenes ever filmed... it was pretty unbelievable.  The last shot... wow.

  Arya seems to be the instrument of revenge to me.

Can't wait for this too happen.  She is probably my favorite character and the whole assassin angle is set up so well in season 2.

Haven't read the books either. To me it's looking like Arya will become one of the Faceless "dudes" (i forgot their name). The way everyone is dying around her, it's just a matter of time before she loses that Stark honor and mercy and just starts killing cold blooded out of sheer revenge.

I agree, it's not a matter of if but when will Arya will go to Bravos and be one of them. And I hope you're right, they should show how Arya turns in this cold blooded, efficient assassin.
