I did have something in mind when I typed that, but I cant remember what It was.
something about - it was a day or 2 before they set of to look for her on horses, they wern't quite sure what way it was, the dragons would've had to stop every so often due to feeding and getting cramps from not much exercise. they could follow the trail of dead burnt stuff from the 2 feeding dragons. drogo wouldn't have needed to eat much, hes been free and wild for a while and stocked up on food s wouldnt have left much of a followable trail.

I don't know anymore. I wasn't expecting follow up questions :p

Yup. first 3 seasons were great...turning stannis evil and killing sno just after his WW heroics sucked.

Ah well Snow might come back yet if rumors are to be believed. But yeah, I'm a bit disenchanted with Thrones now too. Last season already had some hiccups and this season was just awful with the exception of Hardhome.

Agreed. Hardhome was a real high but the rest seemed very rushed, could've done with some slow exposition episodes - think 10 a season is too few (Lost had 24)! Suspect that's purely down to finances though...

At least it's caught up with the books so everyone is equalling in the dark :eek:

Ep2 was still mostly a snooze-fest :( ......and that one thing that wasn't: I thought would have had more impact if they had left it longer. Seems too much like a knee-jerk reaction to the viewer base.

Certainly don't agree that it was a snooze fest, especially compared to episode 1 but I do agree about the level of impact if they'd left it longer and also the knee jerk reaction comment. However I read somewhere that GRRM had stated a long time ago that that character was one of the few central remaining ones so I suppose it was a fairly safe bet to foretell that turn of events, and the media hype may have just made it seem like a knee jerk reaction.

Eitherway certainly looking forward to next weeks installment to see where this goes.

Wait, wut?

They didn't air episode one and then start filming episode two! :stupid:

This season.. Just...

Hold the door . . .

I had to take a breath and man up at the end of the last episode, nearly got to me! Like I've said elsewhere the idea we've laughed at him for 5 years only for the tragedy of why he was that way to unfold now really give contrast to the scene. Superbly acted and shot and the musical score was incredible as always.

It know it's a good episode when you're still thinking about it the next day...

Episode 5 was absolutely beautiful. Describing what happened to a friend and I don't think the acting/writing/directing could have been done any better at all.
