@avclub-fe7cb68d197e9c938caa810d001b76f7:disqus Yes, that is all true, but let us not forget the most significant detail of all: Renly is also the least-determined of all the 'kings', the one who would rather enjoy flaunting what he currently has as opposed to protecting and fighting for it when it's being encroached…

Though I initially had zero interest in this for a number of reasons brought up by both Todd and Meredith, AND other users, here (i.e., lack of affiliation with the characters, another 'girls-in-the-city'-show, the rather-fortunate upbringing of the stars themselves in contrast to the 'realistic' characters they…

'Superman's Dead'?

YOU FLUSH IT OUT Y&^87OU FL!!!!USH IT O%$UT

I've only read the first two books so I'm not venturing into the Experts thread due to spoilers into Books 3, 4, and 5. And yeah, I understand how it would make him seem creepier and scuzzier, but hasn't that been portrayed fairly succinctly, already, up to now?

Also: isn't this the second time we've had a scene not in the book of Littlefinger verbally manipulating some poor girl? Benioff and Weiss must really have a thing for him…

How nice of Littlefinger to wipe the Cadbury Creme Egg off the fine lady's face…A Happy Easter, indeed!

Don't worry, I don't think you'll need to worry here on the Newbie section…I've read the first two books, myself, but I won't be spoiling anything that occurs in the future for this season. I think most everyone here is quite responsible in that way, too.

While I've only read the first two books, it is true that GRRM can sometimes spend a bit too long writing on food. As Bale up there said, it comes out in feast scenes, normally, where he might spend over half a page describing what food is on the table, and what it tastes like, and how it smells, and what colour it…

Poor Jorah. All my boy wants to do is get it in some of that Khaleesi, but it seems like all he'll know is the friend zone.

Thanks guys, good advice…I think I'll be reading both reviews, but as far as the Comments section goes, just remain here, since I am extremely "spoilerphobic" as you said, reckoner! I can see how future spoilers might be on the Expert section even accidentally, and I feel that, even with spoiler tags, there's always…

I admit, after watching the first season of GoT, I read the first two books in the series, so I would be all prepared for season two, anticipating what will occur with great excitement. However, I'm still wary of switching over to Expert, because I feel spoilers may be posted for books BEYOND 'A Clash of Kings'…So,…

Thanks for the information, everyone! I can definitely understand how 'Blackwater' would warrant its own episode, considering the severe importance that battle holds in the novel…I suppose we'll just have to wait to see how it all pans out! I suppose a combination of increased budget and smart editing will allow the…

I was just recently able to finish 'A Clash of Kings', so I'm all set (and extremely excited) for tonight's season premiere of GoT…I have to wonder, though, how they've filmed the many war scenes, considering the ONE from the first book was passed over in the show…Anyone aware of the budget this time around, and if…

…So, reading this review, I thought to myself, "Wow, the complaints share an uncanny resemblance to those from that Reviews on the Run episode I caught on Saturday."

This is my first comment on the show here. I'm more of a newbie to the series, only having started watching it sometime in Season 8 with my mother (who watched it from the start…watching this together has been 'our thing').

"Wow, ever think of just judging a comedy by comedy standards."

Well, this wasn't nearly as terrible as people are making it out to be…

I could make a variety of comments about tonight's episode: Having another great shot of Rosie's ass during Horsecam. Seeing Chan go from an annoying-yet-amusing poker player to a menacing figure of Jerry's nightmare in a scene that seethed with anxiety and claustrophobia. Laughing at the ridiculousness of the…

…Am I really the only one here who actually thinks this was one of the weaker episodes they've had in a while? It fell back into the trap of being too contrived to take seriously, and too predictable to find all that funny. Never mind the narrative device of having your characters get drunk in order to form and,…
