    Haha...i thought she was just giving him a bit of banter because she fancies him! That's women for you! I agree, Jon is a good solid guy, a character who i like, like his brother Rob Stark.

    Who's your favourite character, i quiet like Tyrion, i love the way he keep foiling the pompous gits down at Kings Landing, with his scheming, and he has excellent protection in his bodyguard Bronn.
    She's asking for a slap though :unimpressed:

    Tyrion is wicked, Arya is my favourite she's feisty and smart for her age haha

    Tywin is a bastard, dunno why the show treats him sympathetically. He'll get what's coming to him soon enough...

    Not read any of the books yet. Is it worth reading after this season is over?

    Im really hoping they make the kings landing siege at least a little epic

    they always skip the battles or epic moments, I guess because its not super high budget but it does get annoying

    especially since kings landing has been hyped up so much

    same goes for the stark army vs tywin army if it ever happens

    George R. R. Martin is writing Episode 9: Blackwater, so I have my hopes up that it will be good. However, I think it is a bit unrealistic to expect that the arrival of the Lannister/Tyrell army will be like the arrival of the Riders of Rohan in the Battle of Minas Tirith in LOTR.

    The whole of episode 9 will be dedicated to the battle of blackwater, no scenes outside kings landing or scenes that don't involve the battle.

    Game of Thrones with a budget even close to LOTR would be so awesome.. :drool:

    Previously been quite indifferent to Rob but I'm starting to like him now - seems pretty level headed for someone going after a throne

    Rob said "I want to go home" and that he couldn't whilst the lannisters sat on the throne, so why doesn't he join forces with baratheon? Give the iron throne to him and resume as "king of the north"? :confused:

    I thought stannis didn't accept that? The other baratheon (forgot his name) did but ...

    Stannis is not selfish so much as unable to bend. He knows that the law is basically that he's King and his character doesn't allow him to accept any alteration to that. Even though he doesn't really want to be King all that much.

    Apart from the Battle of Blackwater no other major battle is described in the books (i.e. Lannister v Stark).

    Umad!!!, I understand how danerys annoy you but I'm just intrigued by the dragons ... hope they faking fry joffreys arse and every lannister there is except tyrion...
    I actually find 3 parts interesting, the dragons, the north about the white walkers and right hand man of joffrey who he calls dog cause he seems to have a soft touch for the bride to be

    Aegon the Conquerer wanted the same thing and he got it. Stubborn is a better word for Stannis though. Stannis has never been particularly power hungry, he's just convinced that he's the rightful heir and won't budge from that position.

    I've always found that irritating about Stannis. The law sets out he's next in line because his brother was Robert yet this is ignoring where Robert's claim came from in the first place, it was primarily from usurping the Targaryens who had the rightful claim to the throne.
