This show has gone from putting me to sleep with it's deep complexity to keeping me awake with it's deep complexity. Pure magic.

How many episodes this season? Is there enough book material for a few more seasons?

10 episodes this season. So 2 more. This season is only book 1. There are 3 more books already out and number 5 comes out next month. The next two books are even better than the first.

2 more episodes

And we have at the very least 7 books, although that might number might grow.

Book 3 I think could be split into 2 seasons as well, lots of stuff in that book.

I love how you feel the need to answer every question twice.

I don't read from the bottom up, I read from the top down. Didn't know it was a point of contention.

Neither did I

Hodor!

Yeah.

Great job on the outraged reaction. Fantastic. Great moment.

I think this was the best episode all season so far.

I also thought this was the best episode. More awesome moments in this episode than the rest of the season combined.

I thought a lot of tonight's episode felt rushed. It felt like they were packing too much in. One thing I've really liked about the presentation so far is that they let things breathe a little. This is the first ep where I felt like things were being crammed in.

At first I wasn't a huge fan of the actress playing Sansa, but she's really won me over the past couple of weeks. She's got Sansa pegged - meek, but proud. Well-meaning, but hopelessly naive. Always so dramatic, always imploring. She's really quite good.

Lots of stuff happened, With only 2 episodes left..didn't they had to start putting more in? This series could have really used 12 episodes.

Who is your provider? I had the same problem watching it in HD on Time Warner (audio cutting out ever few seconds). I couldn't figure out if it was my receiver, the dvr or HBO and The 11pm showing was also bad. It was incredibly frustrating, this is the only tv show I watch.

I ended up watching it today, on demand, in standard def, like some sort of commoner.

I thought the season had felt similar to the book, where Miller sets everything up and now all hell breaks lose the last 1/3. Outside of Robb, there really isn't that much left.

I had the same problem and have Time Warner. I tuned in to HBO a few minutes early and it was also happening to Treme.

So is Arya the only one on Stark's side with a kill?

Jon killed a WW, but I suppose he was already dead.


Didn't Rob kill one of the guys in the woods?

I thought the dude Jon killed was a ww-zombie-minion thingie, not a real WW?

Correct.

ha, I even changed my sentence from Zombie to WW for some reason.

Now that guy wasn't really a WW, just WW touched. And I think Robb killed all of the dudes except the last one.

Quiet down bottom reader! Er is it top reader?

Oh crap I'm answering the question twice again lol

And what do we say to answering posts just once?

Not today.
