Also, what happened to Snow's albino wolf he got in the first episode? Was that just a throwaway scene to establish he isn't a 'true' Stark sibling?

One think that's kind of bucked my expectations is how black and white the characters are. For years I've heard that the series has no good guys and bad guys, but a bunch of grey characters. I know it's early, but so far I'm not really seeing that.

Because Ned is short for Edward and I'm supposed to take this as a different land and not some early form of earth.

There probably should have been some sort of translator microbes/babelfish to make it more believable.

I'm glad that non-book/book readers alike liked the 2nd episode better than the 1st. Hopefully this means HBO keeps is viewers

Enjoying the show so far, but still trying to keep track of who's who (never read the books). While I'm a long way from remembering everybody's name and the names of the different regions (I've got Ned, Winterfell, and Bran so far), but at least I can recognize them by sight except for Ned's various male children. Aside from the bastard one and the two girls, I'm a little unsure as to how many he has. I'll have to go back and watch the scene where they adopt the direwolf pups again and do a count.

And speaking of the wolves, the time jump in this episode threw me quite a bit. Given the events of the first episode and the scene where the dwarf guy was slapping around the Snotty Prince (with the whole "your lack of condolences has already been noticed" thing) I figured that a few days had passed, and that the wolves that we were seeing were ones other than the pups from the first epsisode, but then we see these seemingly full-grown wolves as pets of the various children and their mother mentions that a month has passed, leaving me wondering just how fast those wolves grow...

Now, I hate to be "that guy" who watches something and can't keep up, so be kind if this stuff was already explained, but there's a few things I've been wondering. Now, if these things haven't actually been explained by the show yet, great, I'm not compeltely braindead. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind a little clarification, as I think I might have missed a few little details amidst the flood of information.

- Why did Ned bring his youngest daughter along on this trip? The older one, sure, she's being wed to the Snotty Prince, but it seems odd to bring the younger one along (while apparently leaving his various sons at home). Didn't he already know that there's something amiss with the (pardon the spelling) Lanisters?

- Why does the blonde guy think that by marrying his sister off to the barbarian horde that they'd be willing to fight for his cause? Sure, the barbarian leader is said to command a HUGE amount of people, but I still don't quite see why he'd suddenly be willing to attack what has to be a rather formidable force just because this one guy gave him his sister.

Again, sorry about the lack of names here. I'm especially lost when it comes to the names of the various people in the Horse Barbarians plotline. I know Dothraki (sp, I'm sure) is one of them, but I don't know if that's one of the blond people, the country they're from, the horse barbarians, or the name of their leader.

What about that silly dialogue that you had a problem with from episode one? Care to expand on that? Many people are curious.

Anyway, I gave it two episodes and it failed to interest me, so I won't bother you guys anymore.

I've taken it as a custom of the times. The brother needs an army to take the throne and Drago is willing to give him the armies in exchange for his sister as his bride.

See you over in the Doctor Who threads, where the dialog is never silly!

Okay, this is not book or future book question like the guidelines set in the other thread. :lol:

Does anyone know the name of the actress who was teaching Danys how to sexually dominate Khal Drogo? I thought she was kind of hot.
