I like the Greyjoy storyline.  Euron in particular is so batshit that he'd definitely be a lot of fun to watch.  Anyway, that list isn't an official announcement, remember.  It's quite possible that it's incomplete.

The only difference is a lot more sex and no ring.

Terror, did you miss all the parts with Legolas in LotRs?

Lol no. Completely different.

I started watching it reluctantly, expecting a lot of HBO sex. There's plenty of that so far and it's like an Ancient Greek soap opera instead of an lotr one. It's entertaining, but overrated.

I'm sure they're 10x better than the show. I wish Martin had time to write the episodes also, but he probably has his hands full.

I'm up to episode 6 of season 2 right now. So far all that's happening is I'm getting carrot on a stick'd. But I just can't look away. Smart writers.

I have to criticize Jaime and Tyrion's discussion about their cousin killing insects.  Yeah, I'm sure the writers thought they were being all "deep" and clever in a subtle way and all, but it seems like they forgot to actually make a point.  And it went on for way too long, too.  Also, Arya's contrived laughter at a situation that wasn't actually funny was dumb.  But apart from that, cool episode.

This show sounds like an lotr soap opera.

No its totally different. There's only one dwarf and he doesn't have a beard and he collects prostitutes not gold.
He's not even a dwarf. He's just a regular human midget, isn't he?

I just finished Mockingbird.

Was the poisoned spear mentioned in last night's show or does no one know about that yet?

No one knows yet. The spear looked quite clean as well.

Is this show actually good? It's all I hear about from anybody, but I feel like it's a shitty, overhyped show.

Yes, of course the show is good.  That's why we watch it.  Unfortunately, it is also incredibly overhyped.
