HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

Well, as you say, the actress is an adult. As I understand it, a lot of the characters' ages got changed for the show for that reason.

I think my favourite part of the episode was the Lord Commander's moment of badassitude. The Grand Maester being revealed as a sly old coot was also funny.

haha yeah, that is some old healthy sneaky perv

Yeah that was the other great thing about the episode, it wasn't just main characters who had important scenes, there were some really great bits for the lesser seen characters like the Lord Commander, Grand Maester, Tywin Lannister, The Hound...etc...

I thought Theon had the best little insight bit and in the best part of the episode: "Am I your brother? Now and always?"

awwww

We even got to see that mute assassin fella again, poor guy gets less air time than Rickon.

awwww 

i read books too i read books too la la la la la
and i know something other don't

the story is awesome and i enjoy reactions from people watching the show (books aren't so popular) and all reactions happen in the same time.

if you are into theory and literature theory - you know that characters are less important than story, and story is less important than that what writer does to you and your emotions or beliefs. and THAT is what martin does best sick bastard

One thing that always strikes me as a bit ridiculous about the Wall scenes is how for all their carrying on about how incredibly cold it is up there, hardly any of them ever seem to wear anything on their heads. Anyone who's ever lived in a colder climate will know that shit's just not gonna fly.

Speak for yourself, at -10 real men can go shirtless... at around 2 per mil

[okiN]

Anyone out in -20 without a hat is in for some discomfort. -30? Enjoy not feeling your nose or ears. -40? Enjoy losing your nose and ears.

[Siiem]

You can manage confusingly high - degrees naked as long as there is no wind.

But that goes both ways, if there is really high velocity wind a degree of -18 can have a effective temperature of -50 ish.

[okiN]

Yeh, of course there are lots of other factors, but bottom line is it looked pretty damn windy up on that wall.
