I can't stand Theon, to me, he's worse than Joeffry. I really like how Stannis is comming across, a no nonsense combatant. He has a very dry, though dark sense of humour, such as when Davos claims that the other lords won't be happy with him leading the fleet, and Stannis responds, "Most of those lords should be lucky I don't hang them for treason". |

That episode was nuts. Didn't expect them to spend an entire episode on the battle, so that was great.

25 minutes into this episode and I love it already. The guy playing Davos earned his money here.
Also, Bronn and Tyrion as always. |

Ridiculous episode that reminded me a lot of the final battle from The Two Towers. I really liked how they handled Cersei's character while inside the Red Keep as well as Sandor's fright of fire.

That was bloody awesome.
Impressed with what they managed to do with the battle on a TV budget. Would have sworn Stannis would have the throne in the bag, but guess not. |

best one yet.
best t.v. show battle scene that I've seen. I didn't know who I wanted to win the battle! I was hoping that Rob would be the one who rode in, not Tywin. |

One of the best episodes so far, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Completely caught up with this series now. That last episode was insane. Finally got to see a battle. Felt kind of "gypped" when in the first season they just did a "fade to the end of a battle" thing.
I have enjoyed it so much that I went out and purchased the first novel. Not that far in it yet. One thing I don't understand about this series.... HOW IS "NED" SHORT FOR "EDDARD"?! WHERE DOES THE "N" COME FROM?! |

Pretty sure Ned is an abbreviation of the name Edward, and since Eddard is based on Edward, seeing as George RR Martin likes to slightly alter real words, he probably just kept it.

Same way Ted is short for Edward. Or Dick for Richard. It's just a thing that happened somewhere along the line.

The last episode delivered on every level. Seems like a perfect build up through the entire season for that episode.

Since when is "Ted" or "Ned" short for "Edward"?!
Re-questioning my whole existence right now. |

Well, for two seasons I have heard it as Neddard and am pretty sure King Robert showed his name in writing and it was Neddard. I've assumed it is a different world with different names.

Yeah, I thought he said "Neddard" at first too, because of the whole "Ned" thing. Was probably tricking myself into hearing "Neddard" to justify "Ned".
Also, for the first few episodes, legit thought it was "Karl" Drogo |

Still really appreciating the National's recording of the Rains of Castamere.

What a creepy, surreal ending to the show. I actually was compelled to watch the credits when I heard this. Totally batshit creepy. Especially since we find ourselve rooting for the FUCKING LANNISTERS
