Announcing the Game Of Thrones Ping List!
I'll only maintain this ping list for so long as the TV series runs.
Plz send FReepmail if you'd like on/off
VALAR MORGHULIS!
Carl dies in the Arlington Safe Zone, in a fight with the Saviors gang. Rick goes crazy and hunts down every last one of the gang members.
Drogo borrowed my Vera for the contest.
Team Dany!
I loved the first season when she was naked a lot.
Google and ye shall find.
Soylent Green is people.
Superb reference :OO +1
And just to enjoy one of the finest scenes from the series (though there are some differences from the book here)...
That Hound and Arya git dat chicken!
Language, violence, all around general Houndery!

I have some theories on what will become of Sandor, but they are just theories.
But I think that there is NO WAY his character will be done away with. Sandor Clegane is the walking, talking definition of EPIC!
I have a few reason for coming back though. I love me some Arya, and Drogon, though he admittedly does not have many lines, and I am really hoping to see Tyrion and Penny, but so far I have seen no Penny at all, and that makes me worried.
I better see her next episode or two or I’m going to be upset!
And of course, Littlefinger, a truly diabolical villain played by an actor so perfectly selected that it boggles my mind.
Google is your friend.
Pissed at Arya.
Whatever happened to Bran/Hogar and company?
Need to see more Dire Wolves, too.
As far as who I just want to gawk at, now that The Hound is MIA, more Jaqen H’ghar, please.
Sansa has dyed her hair in an effort to travel incognito with Littlefinger.
She is going under the alias of Alayne Stone, his supposed bastard daughter, but she has been recognized by some now, which did not occur in the books, and she further finds herself at Winterfel, which is also a plot line that differs greatly from the book, however, it may actually work better and make more sense that what occurred in the book, I’m not sure yet.
But I am under the impression that Sansa seems smarter and more calculating with her dark hair, almost like it gives her a different persona. I worry that she is falling under the spell of Littlefinger, who is not a good man.
I think that’s a pretty sound theory.
Also, C is worried about T offing her at some point due to a prophecy, but I think it’s actually J that does it. No proof, just conjecture, but it fits.
Okay and yup, he’s a skeevy dude.
But I like him.
:D
please add
Because the night is dark and full of terrors
Bran and Hodor and them are still at the far north in the tree. I don’t think much is going to play out with them while further story lines develop.
The books sort of left them there at that location too with no further insight on them.
One of the elements that is missing in the tv series from the books is Arya’s ability to see through the eyes of Nymeria, her long lost wolf.
I think the last time we saw that was when her wolf killed the people pursuing her after she escaped from that castle, Harrenhal.
But it is worth noting that she, John and Bran all have the ability to see through the eyes of animals if not directly control them, which I think is eventually going to play a great role considering other “animals” around the lands.
The reason that Arya is my favorite character is because of her travels with the Hound and then her adventures in Bravos. I really cannot wait to see what becomes of her.
Interestingly, in the books Jaqen Hghar was never revealed to be the man at the temple. He was only shown as the elderly man throughout that entire scenario, though I suspected all along that it was indeed him.
So any Jaqen Dhagar gawking is bonus gawking provided by the tv series itself, they did officially spoil the books with that detail!
Epic badassery of the highest magnitude.
Yet I am sorely aggrieved that she left her faithful dog behind.
Surely, that make sense, does it not?
:)
Please add me to the list. Thanks.
This is one of my favorite scenes from the series. It is unique to the series, but it is so good and so well acted by Aidan Gillen. it blows my mind every single time I watch it.
It illustrates perfectly how calculating this man is, and it shows that he has a greater understanding of events than anyone else. And it shows that if chaos is indeed a ladder, then he is the most experienced climber of ladders, because he started below the first rung and has come very far, while others, by birth right, start much higher, and usually end up dead.
Littlefinger is a major player.

And this is my favorite piece of music related to the show, and the picture that accompanies it is very telling of where Littlefinger’s mind is at.

If you or anyone else decides to watch these videos, take pains to avoid reading any of the comments. Spoilers everywhere in there.
Makes perfect sense!
I can’t tell you what I would give to have a dire wolf, I mean just...well, I have my German Shepherd, she lopes like a wolf and is generally my herald.
The TV show though, as good as it is, is not able to follow every plot line from the books and it misses some of the subtle things in there like the fact that Arya can and does see through her wolf’s eyes, and that her wolf is a mighty creature that leads a terrifying pack of wolves that is currently harassing all forms of bad guys in the North.
You know, Salamander, if you ever have time to, I highly recommend reading Martin’s books. They can be a difficult read at times, sometimes maybe a bit drawn out you know, but they are truly excellent.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these characters I love so much in those books come to life on screen.
I really can’t stand HBO, but I have to say they did a great job on this show, minus some stuff that really doesn’t need to be in there at all and is not in the books.
I loved the hound and am sorry to see him go.
My biggest problem with GOT is my ability to recall the names.
The guy at the Wall?
The young Stark girl?
Thankfully most of the Lanister’s are gone so I don’t need to remember their names.
