Game Of Thrones Liveblog: Episode 2

THIS IS ONLY FOR FOLKS WHOVE READ THE BOOKS AND OR DON’T MIND SPOILERS. IF YOU MIND, WAIT FOR TOMORROW’S SPOILERFREE VERSION

I’m a bit reserved going into this one, because I have it on authority via Mo Ryan that this week’s episode is the weakest of the six that critics prescreened.

…Dany right away? Looks like HBO isnt going to miss a chance to o make her a showpiece.

Is it just me or does Khal Drogo have bigger boobs than his wife? If i were Jason Momoa I wouldve said no to the push up corset.

Already I am chomping at the bit for Viserys to be crowned.

Tyrion sleeping with dogs? All that scene needs for me to be squealie happy is some Indian food.

Okay. I love Tyrion. I love Peter Dinklage. But his drama school fauxglish accent is distracting.

Myhusband pointed out last week that every time Cersei delivers a line she points with her chin. She does. It’s almost as distracting as Tyrion’s accent.

How much creepier is Cersei’s story knowing that she killed the baby? Or i assume she did. This is an extra-canonical story about
the dead baby; in the book she tells Ned that she aborted every child she conceived with Robert.

I am NOT a fan of the casting for Jon. Of course, i’m in the camp who firmly believes that Jon is actually the son of rhaegar and Lyanna and is the third head of the dragon. This guy doesnt even seem like the first head of a gecko.

My beloved spouse claims i would name a sword something stupid
like Pokie or Stabby. Probably so.

Bran has a bad case of Love Story illness. In other words, he doesnt look sick at all.

Catelyn, I really cant stand you. Knowing that you are the catalyst for 95% of the crap that’s gonna happen doesnt help.

So far this episode feels REALLY exposition heavy. I know that’s to be expected and that I’m at a disadvantage knowing what’s to happen. But it seems like 25 minutes of people explaining things to other characters who already know what theyre talking about.

Gross. Eddard has to share finger food with a man who didnt wash
his hands after peeing on a tree.

I HATE the change in Dany and Drogo’s sex life SOOOOO much.

Tyrion and Jon’s relationship is the same, at least. Which is good.
Theirs is one of my favourite dynamics.

I already know from previews that they keep the line about books. Which makes me happy.

The Maesters’ Chain is a bit too Lady Gaga

YAY, SUMMER!!!!!!! If we are ever attacked by gnomes, Gobie will
do the same thing.

So it looks like HBO has decided we’ll got some girl on girl before Season Three

Yes, when I’m sicknothing comforts me like a Blair Witch mobile.

Yep. Girl on girl. This is pretty much illustrating my main complaint with the show so far. The story is already sensual and thrilling. But HBO seems to think we can only enjoy it if they turn thesex up to 19.

Well. at leaat it improves the Drogo-Dany marriage.

….and the Liveblogging ends here. I’ve sworn from day one that i wouldnt watch Arya send Nymeria away, nor would i watch Eddard kill Lady.

So I’m shut behind a door while my husband finishes out the hour.
