That was some epicness. The wife knew what was coming and still came away crying.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

Now I can see why my wife (who'd read the book) was extra pissed that our cable was out last night and we had to wait a day.
Is this still Wombat?

Just caught up by watching the last 3 episodes.  Killer! I haven't read any of the books so I had no idea what was coming.

This season needed it. Has been moving at a glacial pace.
Nice touch having Arya so close and yet so far.
I also applaud them for doing this with the storyline just prior to the finale, as they did with Ned's beheading.
Dysfunction and itemized lists of people's failures are where it's at.

gave up after Season 1 but had to see the Red Wed episode.. and I still don't get how people dig this show, readers and non-readers alike. show is garbage imo but more power to everyone, I just hope the books get finished

Good acting, good dialog, beautiful locations, great sets, complex dramatic storylines (maybe too complex at times, I'll admit), tension, violence, good vfx, nakedness...

Seems there's plenty to like there.

And I came into this show having not read any of the books (still haven't) and being no more into the fantasy genre than just the average Joe Entertainment Consumer.

I don't understand how you can like the books so much but think the show is garbage..
If this is love, I'm never going home..

eh I had a long winded response typed out but I'm not trying to derail the thread with my hate, and I've long ago made peace with my feelings about the show.

my main beef is it just doesn't match my vision of how the characters should look and act. I couldn't believe the guy they cast as Daario Naharis and that's just one small example from watching last night but I feel that way about almost all of them

I wish you would have posted the long version!

Im suprised that's your main beef because that's actually why I love the show.  I think for the most part they have done a phenomenal job with casting. 

I am almost done with the 1st book, so maybe going forward my views will change

If this is love, I'm never going home..

This explains why you, as a reader of the books, don't like the show, but I'm curious still why you don't see why non-readers like it.

I don't find the acting or writing to be all that compelling myself regardless of trying to adapt from the source material  :|  ok enough from me you guys enjoy

I'm not sure if I followed this thread correctly, but what guys are saying is that Dave Thomas sold crack in inner-city DC in the mid-80's, right?
