@freehuey89

Fam send it to his PM LOLOL, retail links aint allowed . I shouldn't be saying this but we can't monitor most of your PMs...... so just send it to him that way.

Matt-

Is there even a "lead" actor?

S.jR.

The article I got it from said something about being an ensemble cast so they didn't want to put Peter Dinklage in that category even though he gets top billing. Which only happened after Sean Bean and Mark Addy characters were killed off last season but also because he did win the Emmy.

Just read Jack Gleeson who plays King Joffery didn't get honored be HBO to be nominated for an Emmy. Didn't realize they submit options who the Emmys choose from.

But these are the categories they sent out nominations for..


Game of Thrones submitted for Best Drama Series

Best supporting actor submissions are Peter Dinklage (Tyrion), Alfie Allen (Theon), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Richard Madden (Robb)

Best supporting actress submissions are Emilia Clarke (Dany), Lena Headey (Queen), Michelle Fairley (Catelyn), Maisie Williams (Arya), Sophie Turner (Sansa)

I believe I got those characters/actors correct off the top of my head.

They fucked up for not submitting Mad King Jr.

agreed, Joffery, Theon, Cercei and Arya were top notch this whole season.

i love this. i love how they write with the ensemble cast. I love the contrasting families. But Season 2 was not fucking with season 1 storyline wise. Season 2 had a lot of moments. Bronn was the best character (in limited action) this season, along with Arya and Jaqen.

Did anyone else find it weird how they played out the hound's character?

Also what's the story behind the dude that watches over Daeny? Is he nice with the sword and what family is he from? Also whats his name

Also for anyone that has read the books, in the show it seems like Ned Stark is supposed to be the GOD when it comes to that sword scrapping shit. But it's also implied that Jamie Lannister could be the god. I thought Ned was giving Jamie work in season one before his squad jumped in. But in season two it feels like Brienn, Bronn and the Hound would body everything (Atleast until i saw Jon Snow body Qhorin). And then of course there is the old head who they told was no longer leader of the knights watch. they implied he was hella nice too.

So according to the books who is the illest with the sword?

So according to the books who is the illest with the sword?

The guy that watches over Daeny is Jorah Mormont. He is from the house of Mormont and he is a northerner(IE: Starks, Karstarks, Umbers, Boltons, etc.). Yeah he is pretty nice with the sword.

Also in the books Ned Stark is nowhere near as nice with the sword as he is in the show. He is a great battle commander not 1 on 1 fighter, if him and Jamie would have fought 1 on 1 in the books Jamie woulda murked him with relative ease. Also Qhorin Halfhand let Jon Snow beat him on purpose, the show didn't do a great job of implying this like they did in the books, Qhorin is one of the best warriors in the entire series if he wanted to body Jon he easily would have done it. Best fighters so far(that have been introduced in the show so far)

Jamie Lannister
Qhorin Halfhand
Khal Drogo
Robert Baratheon
Sandor Clegane(The Hound)
Gregor Clegane(The Mountain)
Barristan Selmy
Bronn
Syrio Forel(Arya's fencing instructor)

Now who is the illest out of this list is up to interpretation, but all of them are known as being people you don't fuck with.

not really, but if i had to choose... ned was it for season 1, and tyrion for season 2.


im thinking season 3 arya or robb will "own" it.

it should probably be danerys but she seem so detached from everything

I appreciate it fam...also, we pretty much saw the hound get the better of the mountain in the show, how would that squabble have gone in the books?

Only person from the show that I'd add would be Greatjon Umber. Think Jaime said it was him and the Cleganes that would give him problems. And Lyle Crakehall, but not sure if he was named in the show or just some background extra.

yeah, i remember when qhorin told snow to do follow suit and then proceeded to throw him down a mountain. I thought that meant that they were staging some conflict between the two and that qhoran orchestrated the whole thing. I didn't really know why at the time and i couldn't even tell if snow was aware of it. but once he beat him in battle

Spoiler:

he probably knew that his role is to somehow become accepted by the wildings and gain the respect of mance rayder because they made it a point to say, "tell him this is the man who slayed qhorin halfhand" as if it were something they've been trying to do for years

but thats speculation.

you definitely miss out on some things contextually... but so far the show hit all the right notes

S.jR.

Tragic a dude like Halfhand won't get any "songs" written about him, with all he has probably done for Westeros. Taking a dive so Jon can survive, to help in a bigger way. That's some honor for your ass.

Btw when Jon goes undercover, he gone lose his mind when he get some red head wildling pussy.

I feel the same way i feel after seeing some great movie and people say that the books are better or that i should read the book that its based off of. I know i'd get more information out of the books and probably understand in more detail why things the way they are in the movie, but all i know is what i saw.

So with game of thrones, all i know is what is shown on tv and as long as the show is good and entertaining, i'm happy. I really don't care how it compares to the book because i don't know anything about the books. I'd love to read the books because the show is so damn good and i know there is much more that can be gained by reading the books, but i'm perfectly content with just watching and appreciating the show

I thought it was pretty clear Halfhand took a dive. It might not have been clear to Snow, but I think it was set up nicely for the viewer.

@evoljeanyes - It actually did happen in the books just like how it happened in the show. The fight was a draw in the books and show no winner could be determined because Robert stopped it.

@Matt- Ok I'm going to put this in a spoiler tag people because what I'm explaining sets up a lot of shit in Storm of Swords(season 3)

Spoiler:

Before Qhorin and Jon went out on there ranging away from the larger one, Qhorin and Lord Commander Mormont had a private discussion trying to figure out Mance Raydars plans as to why he was gathering all the wildlings together. They planned to go on the ranging, PURPOSELY get followed and have Jon become a spy(unknowingly mind you) to the wildlings, particular the king beyond the wall. Jon never captured Ygritte in the books, Job was ordered by Qhorin to kill her after they had a small fight with them. Qhorin knew Jon wouldn't do it and that was the plan all along.

Ygritte left after Jon let her go, and met up with Rattleshirt(dude with the skull over his face) and they began to follow them. Qhorin led Jon and Ghost(Jon's Direwolf) to a cave behind a waterfall. Right before the Wildlings came, Qhorin finally explained the plan to Jon. Jon was reluctant to follow the plan at first, but realized he had no choice otherwise both him and Qhorin would die needlessly. So when the Wildlings finally came Jon acted like a traitor and the wildlings told him to prove he was a traitor by killing Qhorin. Jon and Qhorin had a fight and even during the fight Jon realizes in his head that Qhorin was putting up one of the greatest acting shows in history, he even admits he was no match for him. Ghost intervened though and bit Qhorin on the leg(which almost fucked the plan up). As a result of the bite Qhorin dropped his defense and Jon killed him.

The Wildlings did trust or respect Jon after this because Ghost intervened so Jon was still considered a prisoner until they took him to Mance Raydar. Once Jon get's to Mance, Mance turns out is a former member of the Nights Watch who deserted his post. Mance free's Jon believing he can't go back to the Watch because he killed Qhorin.

I won't tell anymore, some spoilers but I tried to keep the extremely major ones out of there.

i love this. i love how they write with the ensemble cast. I love the contrasting families. But Season 2 was not fucking with season 1 storyline wise. Season 2 had a lot of moments. Bronn was the best character (in limited action) this season, along with Arya and Jaqen.

Did anyone else find it weird how they played out the hound's character?

Also what's the story behind the dude that watches over Daeny? Is he nice with the sword and what family is he from? Also whats his name

Also for anyone that has read the books, in the show it seems like Ned Stark is supposed to be the GOD when it comes to that sword scrapping shit. But it's also implied that Jamie Lannister could be the god. I thought Ned was giving Jamie work in season one before his squad jumped in. But in season two it feels like Brienn, Bronn and the Hound would body everything (Atleast until i saw Jon Snow body Qhorin). And then of course there is the old head who they told was no longer leader of the knights watch. they implied he was hella nice too.

So according to the books who is the illest with the sword?

The guy that watches over Daeny is Jorah Mormont. He is from the house of Mormont and he is a northerner(IE: Starks, Karstarks, Umbers, Boltons, etc.). Yeah he is pretty nice with the sword.

Also in the books Ned Stark is nowhere near as nice with the sword as he is in the show. He is a great battle commander not 1 on 1 fighter, if him and Jamie would have fought 1 on 1 in the books Jamie woulda murked him with relative ease. Also Qhorin Halfhand let Jon Snow beat him on purpose, the show didn't do a great job of implying this like they did in the books, Qhorin is one of the best warriors in the entire series if he wanted to body Jon he easily would have done it. Best fighters so far(that have been introduced in the show so far)

Jamie Lannister
Qhorin Halfhand
Khal Drogo
Robert Baratheon
Sandor Clegane(The Hound)
Gregor Clegane(The Mountain)
Barristan Selmy
Bronn
Syrio Forel(Arya's fencing instructor)

Now who is the illest out of this list is up to interpretation, but all of them are known as being people you don't fuck with.

yeah, i remember when qhorin told snow to do follow suit and then proceeded to throw him down a mountain. I thought that meant that they were staging some conflict between the two and that qhoran orchestrated the whole thing. I didn't really know why at the time and i couldn't even tell if snow was aware of it. but once he beat him in battle

Spoiler:

he probably knew that his role is to somehow become accepted by the wildings and gain the respect of mance rayder because they made it a point to say, "tell him this is the man who slayed qhorin halfhand" as if it were something they've been trying to do for years

but thats speculation.

@Matt

Have you read and watched or just watched?

no i haven't read any of the books.

oh ok, do you feel like you're missing a lot having not read them or do you feel like the show writers leave out too much for information throughout the seasons???

I agree i usually don't feel like I am missing anything until I come into this thread

@matt @The Lonious Monk

I agree that it looked like Halfhand made this big scene in order to stage something, but I couldn't tell that it was ultimately for him to be merked off at the hands of Snow...

I don't ever remember it being implied that Qhorin was the nicest with the Sword in the show, so my mind didn't immediately go there
