I've been thinking about a Season 2 thread for the TV show and I'm now leaning towards a spoiler paradise. Something along these lines:
"This thread is for those fans who want to discuss the Game of Thrones TV show who have read the books. Not some of the books - all of the books There will be NO spoiler space required for discussion of ANY of the books. This is to allow us to discuss potential future story lines without the clutter of constant spoiler space. There's a dedicated Game of Thrones forum for those who think otherwise.
Once the show has aired in the US, that episode is fair to discuss here. Not when it airs on Sky Atlantic, but in the US. I don't care how you saw the US episode.
The only thing that requires spoiler space is discussing an unaired episode of the show - we don't want to know how certain events are portrayed even if we know what is being portrayed. "
Most people here have read all the books so it'll be nice to have a place where we can discuss matters freely.
Considering this is the Sci-fi and Fantasy forum, and not the Television forum I think it's only fair. Especially when spoiler warnings are in the title and first post

Excellent!
Given the TV show has been given a whole forum, I think the *readers* deserve a spoiler-free paradise to hide in.
Just need massive spolier alerts in the thread title and first post.
And a note along the lines of if you haven't read all the books - come back when you have.

I had heard about these books a few years back but only got into them about three or four years ago. The problem with having a series of anything is that you just want to see what happens next. A friend of mine (let's say Tom) loaned another friend (Lets say Harry) the first series of 24 years ago (Just before season 2 started). The very next night I was staying at Tom's house, pinting and gaming when, about 3AM Tom get's a text from Harry: "You b*stard, it's like f*cking crack. I''ve watched 12 episodes in a row!!!".
You may SAY you'll only read Book 1 but, if it gets its teeth in (And it may not. The books are even bleaker than the series). But, if, as I was saying, it gets it's teeth in then you'll have all books finished, even given their size, before season 3 starts....... And that's when Daeny torches The Seven Kingdoms except for Tyrion and Jon, who are on the other two dragons.......... ooops, sorry, that was VERY poor fan fiction
As for Peter Dinklage. These days casting directors are getting AWESOME. Gone are the days of "who can we get?". Especially in fantasy: What is it about fantasy. While Lord Of The Rings may not be to everybody's taste, we can probably all agree that the casting was AWESOME (The only problem I had before seeing the movies was John Davies as Gimli as he has a tendency to go OTT but he (and his double) proved me wrong). And The Harry Potter series casting was picture perfect. But Peter Dinklage........Let me let you bypass my ramblings about casting in three short words........
Best...........
Casting.......

Littlefinger believes he took Catelyn's maidenhead. She knows he doesn't. You figured that much out, the rest should be easyOr at least that's how I remember it...
The dagger was one of King Roberts which Joffrey supplied the assassin with to kill Bran. Littlefinger plants the story of it being his and Tyrion having won it in order to remove
Tyrion as a political threat to himself0 -

See here :You've lost me here...I figure he took the sisters (the whole baby she lost before she married John Arryn) but Littlefinger seems to have actually convinced himself he took Catelyn's too..??
Will it become clear if I just read on?

And here:Okay, but what's confusing me is the fact that Littlefinger said he bet on Jaime and Tyrion against. Was there ever actually a bet? I mean, is it possible that Littlefinger merely said he lost it to Tyrion to create further conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters, conflict that he could take advantage of. Which also makes me wonder if he put the idea in Jeoffs head to kill Bran and whether Tyrion ever had anything to do with the dagger at all...maybe he lost it to Robert...Littlefinger is a complete schemer...I'm starting to seriously dislike/like him!
Or at least that's how I remember it...
Thanks again.0 -

Littlefinger's like the Doctor, he lies. The conflict between the houses of Stark and Lannister has been good for him, I believe he set it in motion with aims on, if not quite the Iron Throne for himself, a position of high power. It wouldn't have been hard for Joffrey to be goaded into killing someone now would it?0 -

Ah, okay.
So it's possible that...he slept with Lysa, thinking she was Catelyn. The next morning he still thinks he's had Catelyn; but Catelyn acts like it never happened. He figures she's just thought better of it kind of thing. Lysa thinks she's started a relationship with Petyr, and approaches him as herself. He's a teenage boy so he sleeps with her. He thinks this is the first time he's slept with Lysa, but it's actually the second.
Years later, he's still bragging that he took both sisters' maidenheads because he believes he did but he didn't.
Or at least that works from most angles anyway and it sits okay in my head. Cheers Now back to the book!0 -
