Haha I love how you've politely corrected my erroneous naming of like 5 characters now XD
i can't wait until the series explains all the mystical shit going on in detail and the intentions and origins of the LoL, faceless men, the children, the white walkers, etc.
Shits intriguing.

Yeah, her methods of getting what she wants are a dead giveaway. On one hand, I'd like for her to get killed, but on the other hand, that would be an easy way to hide what she knows from the viewers. So I expect the show to kill her off before we find out what she knows. Shows tend to do that in order to maintain the mystery. :/
I think the "only one true God" thing is a claim that every religion would make, and not necessarily a reality in the world of the show.
I know it'd enrage the internet, but I hope they never do
Ever since Brandon got knocked down from the window, the entire show has since just been a dream in his comatose head.
Final episode is him waking up as if nothing ever happened

Not even a little bit? Who doesn't like being teased?
What can I say? Names fascinate me!
I'm thinking we'll probably end up with half of it answered in proper, some left wholly unexplained, and some only answered in the books or interviews.
Nah, I think explaining magic inherently makes it less magical. I watch the show for the characters. I've never seen a show that "explained" something mysterious well.

I don't think people want a "midichlorians" type of explanation, just some kind of plausible backstory and not a last minute asspull like LOST's urine cave.

Its like poetry
Seriously though, that would be an ironic and cool thing to happen. Like he was chosen by the LoL early on and the burns are suppose to remind him but he is currently blind to the LoL.
And with powers granted to him by the LoL, he would then go on to defeat his brother that gave him the scars, the Franken-Mountain.
But actually... No... I really want Arya to kill the Mountain come to think of it...

I don't know it seems pretty sloppy and alchemy based what he's doing. There could be some divinity to it though that he could be keeping tightly under wraps..

I was just thinking about this shit today but man, Jorah is a useless, shitty simp. Fuck that dude.

you could watch what the flick recaps on youtube.
A Cast of Kings is a really good one. David Chen and Joanna Robinson. He's never read the books, she has but they don't spoil anything in the show. She's just there to fill in blanks occasionally.
I just love the fact that Jorah Fedorah has become a widely used nickname.

All of them deserved, because jesus christ. I liked him initially but the creep factor was way too much.

I'm confused about Bran's storyline...... did they write Bran, Hodor etc out of the show or will they be back ya think? They havent been in a single episode thus far
They caught up to the source material I believe. No idea if they'll be in this season myself, wouldn't be surprised though since the show is going to start spoiling book readers.

Oh... well that kinda is a downer.
I was hoping winter comes at the end of this season, but if in the books that story line is at it's end and it wasn't winter then, we're gonna have to wait a long while.
Confirmed to not be in this season

Creep factor? What makes her smanging that Daario guy ok and Jorah creepy?
The show devs already confirmed they are going past where the books are and will spoil book readers. So I don't think they are concerned with waiting for the author to write the next book.
Isn't he like twice her age? And never once made a move on her, just lusted from the distance? Daario made it clear what he wanted from the beginning, and got it. Not creepy at all.

But will probably come back?

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
I want to see zombie Hound.
Like I said, Frankenmountain vs. Jesushound is a very real possibility IMO

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I mean, he was in the middle of killing Mance, how upset could he be
Take into advisement that Dave is not a taste everyone agrees with. Including me. He comes of as unbelievably dense sometimes. Like spending ten minutes complaining about something that the show has already explicitly explained. Joanna is great, but I just couldn't deal after a while.
Yeah, I already gave up on him and moved on to Game of Owns.

She can have sex with whoever she wants to - she doesn't owe Jorah anything, and he keeps acting like she does. Tough shit for him.

Didn't he give her the dragon eggs? Or was it the guy who took care of them?

Westeros will build it up to be The Fight of the Century!

I listen to cast of kings and bald move. I like a bald move a bit more, though I wish they used the opener from last season instead of this one.

There was a point in S2 where I think Jorah MIGHT have had a chance with Daeny but he didn't go for it.
People give J-Mo a ton of shit, but I'd be obsessed too If I saw a woman who looked like that emerge from a giant bond fire unscathed, naked, covered in Dragons. All other women pale in comparison after witnessing something like that.

except isn't she supposed to be like 14-15 years old too?
Melisandre is the one true hottest woman in Westeros.

15 at the start of the show, yes, but it's been a few years.

In terms of years, how far are we from the first show?
The war between Rob and Lannisters was probably a year or so (given there were supposed battles which Rob won which were neve seen).
Since then there doesn't seem to be any other way to gauge how much time has past.
Yeah, it was the beardy merchant guy from Pentos that gave her the eggs.

I'm not sure if there's a solid answer, but three years is the best guess at this point.

She doesn't owe him sexy times, but she does owe him most of her victories. He guided her in her initial campaigns, captured Yunkai, and saved her from an assassination attempt in Qarth. He helped her a lot with the Dothraki diplomacy at the start as well. Besides, he showed his loyalty despite initially starting as a spy for Varys. He is a pretty great swordsman and commander on top of all. So yeah, she owes him a lot. I just don't find that he can be called creepy at all.
Completely forgot about that.
What's the deal there? Why did this mysterious merchant have dragon eggs to give? Are there supposed to be other dragon eggs in the world?
Here is a crazy theory that I thought up... what if somebody came across the dying Hound and parts of him were used to save the Mountain? My theories have never been right so I can probably cross that one out.

No arguments there. Missanndei gets honorable mention, though. Hottest chick in Meereen and she's with a cockless dude.
I can't be the only one who misses Ros. Damn you Joffrey!
