Why didn't they show the fight, what a let down.  I'm glad they finally killed Ned Stark, he reminds me of Patrick from Sponge Bob he's just as stupid.

Too soon?  http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2011/06/02/my-new-favorite-thing-stupid-ned-stark/

I like how they're not showing big battle set pieces, either saving it for a future episode or just keeping us hungry for the possibility of one.  IMO the imagination of what a battle would look like is sometimes better than seeing two rubbery CGI armies running at each other anyway.

I couldn't agree more Knute.

Thinking of it like a book, I like books which give the set up and aftermath of battle much more than trashy warporn which hand holds you through every blow. Graphic battle scenes can be done in a visual medium, for example it works well in comics, but these days films have really made it rediculous with all the CGI shite and I much rather it being left to the imagination.

Yeah, pretty shocking if you haven't read the books, he was my favourite character and I could have cried when they lopped his head off,  .

I haven't read the books ... so yeah ...

I'm still in shock. Though I should have guessed it was going to happen as it is Sean Bean. He dies in just about EVERYTHING, and the few times he hasn't died his family have usually paid for it a hundred times over (The Dark, Silent Hill and Sharpe).

Ep. 9 showed that scythes can't hurt plate, ha! visitors can't see pics , please register or login

That fight...and that whole scene is easily one of my favourites so far, the set up, the duel and the ending were all wonderfully done.

Episode 9

I felt that presenting tyrion's battle as was, but then doing a portrayal of Robb's ambush on Jaime would have worked better.  However, the episode was already crammed so I couldn't say what would be cut for it.

Is it just me or is the serie starting to look like a cliché  : its the same usual plot as we seen before n before how ever i haven't read the book so i wouldn't know how it ends but so far its the same baddies as we see in every other movie or serie like this1. 

Anyways i still like the storie taken place with the blond whore over in the east ten times more interrresting than that of the bunch of rich spoiled kids fighten for power and prestige back in the 7 kingdoms

Eh is it weird that I actually enjoyed the bit with Tyrion and the "whore" who really isn't a whore but someone else? She seemed so damn cliche yet so mysterious. Ugh, why must we wait a week! Stop giving us blue balls HBO!

Same usual plot? you have to be joking, so what other novel/show have you read/watched with a plot so similiar? the characters are superb, there has not been a better light fantasy/medieval show on tv ever, the characters are awesome. What do you expect from a Medieval era setting? did you ever study that era and learn that the whole thing consisted of people fighting for power?. I'm quite confused to where you've seen a show anywhere near as good as this in the same genre.

Nevermind, you must be watching a different show to me.

Use the spoiler tag plox, some people haven't watched ep 9.

thought about replying to his post, but it seemed so pointless since if I look at tzars posts in general he lives in a different world than me.

I didn't like how they portrayed Shae, she seems over 30 ffs.

Also Tyrion knocked out by his own men was terrible   

[FICO]

Also Tyrion knocked out by his own men was terrible   

it was hillarious
but i don't recall that from the book...

[Bulzur]

Thanks for making me discover this pleasant piece of work.

yup
but i sure would have liked to see a little battle or the ambush of the pretty man 

[MadJackMcMad]

Really?  I am not normally one to be affected by such things, but that girl caused an embarrassing bulge in my breeches.  She's actually 31, but I wouldn't have guessed that personally.  I reckon there will be a larger budget to season two, which suggests an ability to film battles, of which there will be many.

wow  . I thought shae was the hottest girl in the show so far.

yeah I hope they do proper battle scenes in series 2. I am peaved with ep 9 tho because they didn't even explain AT ALL how they captured jaime lanister. I mean in the book I dont think that battle was well described... but you at least were told what happened and how it was planned/executed. in the show they didn't tell you a single thing about it. I think they also changed tyrions story as to avoid a proper battle scene.

well I guess you'll have to read the books ;)

[Tzar]

wow  . I thought shae was the hottest girl in the show so far.

Who is counting 

I think i seen about 32 sets of boobs so far not counting ass ect ect.. 

I wouldn't mind casting the tits for the show
