Surprised at the absence of stone hands this season. If he's not on the finale, I don't know how they'll work him in.

[canaan]

I hope hes played by limas sweed.

Stonehands:


I think you are wondering about Coldhands

[shmenguin]

ha...oops

Alright when he wakes up get him some pads.

Episode 10 is apparently 66 minutes long. Good omen to the quality and should hopefully, maybe, stop the complaints about the show ending before 10 for at least one week.

I tried giving the first episode of this show a shot, but I wasn't really feeling it.

How far into the first season do you need to get before the characters and plot are all set into motion?

i can't imagine someone liking this show if they didn't like episode 1. it's a good representation of the series as a whole.

Even though Grenn was a minor character, I thought his death was one of the more powerful of the series. He had a heroic death that will largely be forgotten or never known.

If he didn't stop that giant, the Nights Watch might have been destroyed entirely, therefore he may have saved Westeros.

It's even more impressive in the book. In the book, the man who held the gate and killed Mag the Mighty was Donal Noyne, the blacksmith for the Night's Watch. When Noyne was younger he worked for House Baratheon, and he was the man who forged Robert Baratheon's warhammer (which Robert used to kill Rhaegar Targaryen). Noyne lost an arm fighting in Robert's rebellion, but he still managed to kill the giant one-handed.

When Ned gets to Kings Landing, is that maybe the 4th episode?

I know multiple (non-book reading people) who almost quit after the first episode. Because of the White Walker focus in that first ep, people assume its all about that type of ghouls and fantasy type stuff, rather than the heavy political intrigue that follows throughout season one.

I'd say stay with it pittsoccer.

Well, let's see. Story lines I expect to see in this episode:

Tyrion
Arya/Hound
Brienne/Pod
Bran
The Wall
Daenerys

Based on the preview/recap videos...

Spoiler:

Looks like this will be the case. Also, I saw a still of Arya/The Hound where I am fairly certain that Brienne's shoulder is in the edge of the frame... not much blue armor going around Westeros these days. So perhaps I was off about my predictions for her fight...

[DelPen]

Watching again, I can't figure out how all of them died fighting the giant.

Also looks like they might be deviating from Slynt and Thorne a lot from the books. I kind of like Thorne in the show though.

[the wicked child]

30 minutes.

Spoiler alert for anyone that hasn't read the books:

Spoiler:

Question: I have read all the books, and currently watching the series with my wife who hasn't read them (we are on S3E3). Canaan told me this weekend they haven't introduced Lady Stoneheart? It's been a while since I've read the books but I thought she was introduced before where they are at now in the show? I could be wrong though.

[blackjack68]

Finale time!

Can't wait to say goodbye to...

It was in the epilogue of storm of swords. With so much left to cover it would make a good opening to next season.

[DelPen]

So is it irony that tonight's Episode was on fathers day?

[the wicked child]

Hrmm. That was pretty darn good, but...

Spoiler:

No Stoneheart?

The real reason they skipped Memorial Day weekend.

[canaan]

Yeah thats what I was waiting for and it never came

[DelPen]

No Stoneheart?

It should play better to open next season

[SolidSnake]

Excellent episode, just wish it ended on more of a cliff hanger

[Hockeynut!]

Great episode! I'm really happy we didn't have major cliffhangers but all the major storylines now have new routes for next season. Loved the resolution of the Tyrion story!

[columbia]

Leaving him to die like that...Arya is cold.
