No doubt the show will continue to build an audience. As expected it has been picked up for a 2nd season. As long as they do the third book im happy. Only issue - hopefully some of the general audience isnt turned off by the and of season 1. Regardless, WOM is brewing nicely on this one.

Now to casting Stannis!! Mel!! Yigritte. Davos! (though there is a chance they dont include Davos at all).

Why would the ending turn off people???

I was fucking sad too, but I thought it was a great movie. Especially considering that the book establishes very early on that no one is safe. Red Wedding... Now that's something we can talk will turn viewers off. But first let's get to the third season...

Oh, do you think season 3 (when HBO orders it, which it will ) will be split in two parts like the book? It certainly will be something HBO has been doing with some of their previous shows (splitting The Sopranos season in two parts). Also what if they get ready for filming season 6 and Martin still isn't finished with it? What about season 7??? It just hit me that we might never get all seven books filmed (with this cast at least). Not because of the ratings/profitability, but because Martin could fuck everything up with his slow writing.

Well they also have some hope and redemption

Rumor is Martin has a significant chunk of the next two books finished, and with the upcoming book finally finished, it should be MUCH easier for him to continue. I think he'll go a year and a half between each of the last few books. I personally don't think there will only be 7, I expect 8, but we'll see.

I also think it it will be easier for him to write the next two (especially if he has written some of them and if he doesnt get caught up in other things) as the "Meeraneese Knot" has been untied. Though knowing GRRM, he had the bulk of Dance finished when Feast came out - but then scrapped most of it. But i'll stay positive.

7 is a much nicer number than 8 though.

The book wasn't split in America, so it's not likely. I think Feast and Dragon being combined is a strong possibility.

If the show catches up with the books they could always just continue the storyline on their own ala Dexter, which turned out just fine.

The show has been absolutely living up to expectations so far. The pacing is far quicker than I ever expected, allowing them to devote more time to the important events at the end.

I agree with Flava'd - Book 3 should remain one season (albeit perhaps 12-14 episodes). Feast and Dance should be combined.

Another fantastic episode. Oh I can just tell I'm going to hate Joffrey. Fuckin' bitch. I felt so bad for Lady.

It definitely feels like something big is going down soon.

Thats only a small slice of Joffrey. You will be even more pissed off at him during the last episodes of season 1

Yeah Joffrey is a turd.

Lady's killing aggh always hated it. I think in the books at first it isnt clear if Ned actually did kill her so I always hoped he let her go but he did.

Good to see your enjoying it Jmovies.

Enjoy

The character they got to play Joffrey is almost as perfect as Tyrion, you just hate him instantly.

Sunday’s 9 pm airing was seen by 2.2 million viewers, steady with the premier, which is awesome. Now we need to grow!

Grrr I still haven't managed to find time to watch the second episode as I want to be sure no one will interrupt me at all. But I read that the viewership was steady which is awesome. I expect a rise next week. It was Easter Sunday after all which might have suppressed the numbers a bit. GoT isn't really a show you will sit down and watch on Easter with your family...

How much did Bored walk Empire drop in its second episode?

I thought the second episode was great. Very involving and poignant.

I want Lena Headey's character to be punched in the face by the end of the season.

Boardwalk Empire:

1 - 4.81
2 - 3.33
3 - 3.41
4 - 2.57 (season low)
.
.
.
12 - 3.29 (highest since episode 3)

Seems strange that HBO submitted their best supporting actor ballot that includes Jason Mormoa. Not to take anway from him but all that Drogo does is hump hump hump. They should have put in Harry Llyod who plays the Visyerls Tagarian instead


Thanks for the info Eagle. It seems like Boardwalk Empire only resonates well with critics and not so much the general audience whereas GOT does well with both categories so far like Walking Dead

BTW one question

Why would they change that part? Also why the spoiler tags. It happened in the show we can talk freely about it.

I don't see why you'd remember the butcher boy's death that way as Arya repeatedly holds a grudge against Sandor because of what he did to him throughout the book.

The second ep was fab also. Though I still can't get over Lena Headey's black brows.

Depends when Roid read the book. Its been a long time since I read it and I couldnt recall if the Hound killed him or not until seeing the show.

Very encouraging ratings!

Boardwalk Empire's first season was one of the best seasons of a television show I've ever seen.

Just wanted to throw that out there since it's catching some heat in this thread from El Murato.
