As usual these little bird droppings were taken from tweets hashtagged #GameOfThrones or #TheNightLands (via my @Axechucker account, with help from @The_Rabbit01) for Game of Thrones‘ episode 12, the season 2 second episode.
There are no spoilers here for anyone who watched the episode.
There were a lot of tweets. There were so many tweets I’m going to just jump into them now:
Game of Thrones: it’s popular, and if you want to be cool, you’ll watch it.
@desertcronenm: Well guess I better google #GameofThrones since I’m clueless but I want to be cool.
@atayls: Best hour of the week.
@KirkkriK: Wellll Yankees suck but at least there’s #gameofthrones @ohemgeeitstaryn new favorite show!
@amarettosaurus: CADBURY EGGS AND #GAMEOFTHRONES , FUCK YEAH.
@ohheysofie: game of thrones!!!!!!! knowing that there’s a new episode waiting for me seriously just saved my day
@armychic81: Now to watch my shows i DVR’d #gameofthrones and #khloe&lamar
Best two shows on television, or so I’ve been told.
@dstubb: When #GameOfThrones is on, Twitter crashes.
It does. At least on my Air Book.
@NetoNomads: Watching #GameOfThrones hoping Geoffrey gets slapped again.
What?? Who would DO that?! He’s just a baby toy store mascot!
@TjBronson210_3: Hey, #GameOfThrones – I get it, you can kill babies on your show. You proved it last week. No need to repeat it this week. One more chance.
@AMRM2626: If they kill another baby on GoT’s I’m rioting.
Uh.
Ahaha…
Let’s talk theme song!
@drjosephlee: Intro theme to #GameofThrones – best I’ve heard in years. Awesome.
@tmunzar: You know a TV Show kicks major ass if you never ever skip it’s opening theme and credits.
@bishfoo: The Game of Thrones intro is unfastfowardable.
Tell that to my wife. D:<
Speaking of stubborn chicks…
@JonathanBobrow: Catching up w/ #gameofthrones. Arya Stark is the coolest girl ever!
@Adam_Kendall: Arya has more balls than most men on Game of Thrones
@thedaisyharris: Is it just me or is this girl-as-boy subplot a tad yaoi?
@Valkyries_Dream: Arya is my fierce little dumpling.
“Do you think I’m plump?”
Twitter did a nice little spike when a certain Lorathi appeared onscreen…
@RogueBelle: omg, Jaqen H’ghar is fucking hot.
@andymoniker: They nailed the casting of Jaqen H’ghar.
@SueThePirate: Oh look it’s Jaqen H’ghar. That’s so weird, I think I was wearing underwear a minute ago…
Actually, you left your knickers in my mobile home.
@SweetSigma: Jaqen might be wearing Jory’s old wig lol but wooo agree, he’s very good looking-yowsa those eyes!
Seven seconds of Jaqen H’ghar was very popular on Twitter. Biter and Rorge? Not so much:
@pinkrotaryphone: UGHHHHHHHHH RORGE AND BITER, THOSE FUCKING RAPISTS DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
@portiagabrielle: Why does Rorge have a nose?
It’s looking a little grim for other future noseless characters, I would say.
And who knew Gendry and Jaqen held conversations on Twitter?
@GendryWaters: Check these goldcloaks. I ball so hard motherfuckers wanna find me.
@JaqenOff: A bull is wearing too much eyeliner. @GendryWaters
Gendry “Anvil Abs” indeed! The real Gendry felt the need to respond:
@joedempsie: Eyeliner Update. Gendry was born with it. #blacksmithsdontmaybelline
So the Gold Cloaks paid a visit. Yoren showed them what’s what.
@scooterbeanbag: “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.”
@OJ_HEMPson: niggas called them gutter rats even back in the day
@becky_cha: Yoren is a BAMF.
@Davrfrankell: What king of spider do you shave Yoren? I believe the Spider doesn’t have hair at all…
Speaking of Varys…
@Davrfrankell: Lie of the year goes to Varys the Spider “I am very good at keeping secrets for my good friends…”
@LoriTweets: AND! Tyrion is still whistling the Harry Potter theme.
@Tyrion_Halfman: If you hear me whistling, it’s already too late.
Some people think he’s whistling “The Rains of Castamere.” I think he’s whistling the tune Tysha taught him!
@BinaDouble07: Shae is the Jar Jar Binks of #GameofThrones
Yousa whores gonna die?
@mherr1979: Varys knows about Shae the funny whore?! This is not going to end well.
@Galdemsuga: She-males be plotting
@ColinWrightt: No-Balls continues to be creepy.
“Fish pie” was also popular:
@imgovtdrone: Fish Puns!
@Paco_ICEandFIRE: LMAO OMG EAT HER FISH PIE!!! THATS ALL VARYS WOULD BE ABLE TO DO ACTUALLY…
@TheMeganDuffy: You should taste MY fish pie!
Rather bizarre message to send out to the Twitter populace in general. Post your address I guess! See how many takers you have!
@holytaco: Eunuch’s float, i think
@abydosww: Conleth Hill as Lord Varys is perfection. I’m rooting for the spider even if I don’t trust him
Totally agree about Hill. If he weren’t part of such a sprawling cast, I would even have hopes of an Emmy nod. Probably won’t happen, but damn, he’s good. I want more Varys / Littlefinger action!
So we went from King’s Landing to beyond the Wall…
@ReallyAlly: Lol fart jokes… why am I laughing?
@akpierce: I wish I could understand a WORD Dolorous Edd said.
Seven seconds of Ghost was very popular on Twitter:
@Ienjoypie2: Ghost is a monster now! WHOA!
@MissDeidraLeigh: Man that’s a bloody huge Dire Wolf. #Ghost
@Leahbjackson: AHHH GHOST LOOKED SO GOOD #GameofThrones
@travelbeestuff: Dude. Dude. Ghost. Ghost!
Hannah Murray’s obvious and easy chemistry with John Bradley made more than a few sit up and take notice. I loved their (limited) time together.
@TSarahtops: It’s what’s her face, from skins, right?
@bombsfall: And it’s nice to see that Cassie has made her way north of the wall. #Skins
@gglee3: O lord Sam don’t get killed by wet twat ! Prego at that
@Tlieso: Keep your eyes to yourself Sam!!
John Bradley has lovers…
@dwsNY: I like Sam in the series more than in the books. Much less annoyingly neurotic.
@hussmeister: Aw Sam, why are you so adorable?
John Bradley has haters…
@JermShirley: I hope that fat kid dies soon.
@chris_theAnimal: Yo the fat dude better not get snow killed
@erinscafe: Jon Snow is wearing so much clothing it’s impossible to distinguish him from Sam from any real distance.
“Do you think I’m plump?”
@modalexandra: “I can’t steal her! She’s a person, not a goat.” Omg Sam, in 3 minutes flat, you just become my favorite.
@da_bloom: I hope Sam gets laid…
FPM!
Over in the Red Waste, we got some pretty strong reactions from a single severed head:
@vivaciousvirgo: A horse with no rider is always a bad sign.
@EthiopianSiren: Oh Nooo! Not cutey :(
@Davrfrankell: What? WTF? I didn’t think Rakharo died in the books… why’s he dead?! Stop killing bloodriders D&D!!!
@jdvanlaningham: First deviation from the books.
I’m going to say that’s not the first, being that Rakharo is technically Jhogo.
@Power2Bruce: sending his head back on a horse is gangster
@amarettosaurus: He returned “a-head” of everyone else
@shanghaijim: Irri don’t cry
@kemgooner: Irri/Rakharo forever
Mmm… probably not forever, looks like.
Theon approaches Pyke…
@mkmswain: Ooh a ship! Hello, increased budget
There was originally supposed to be nine. Hello, Blackwater!
But most of the tweets had absolutely nothing to do with the ship. No, most of them had to do with the Captain’s Daughter, played by a young and talented actress named Amy Dawson, who is actually kinda cute in her own unique way!
You wouldn’t know it by the reaction though.
@psuitofhappyNIS: Flipper tits.
@SolomonChills: she got potato tiddays
@erinscafe: Those were the strangest breasts I’ve ever seen.
@sarahtredway: Anyone else think the wanna be salt wife’s boobs were odd?? I can’t decide if they were oblong or triangular
@SuzanEraslan: I hope the women in this show are getting paid well for all the nudity.
@datdamndj: “Try Smiling with your mouth closed” #dead
@russiankoolaid: “He’ll call me a whore.” “I haven’t paid you.”
@Jazz_Kat: This woman’s boobs or lack of on #gameofthrones….tragic
Okay, if Amy Dawson goes and gets fakies, I’m blaming y’all. She played the role to the hilt! Props to her. I’m voting we put her up on the official cast page.
Hey, you never know when she could return.
@mkmswain: Theon does like his naked chatting
@wizardfaces: THEON IS HAVING SEX! YESSS!
@BigDamnHerosSir: I want to crush Theon’s skull with a cinder block
@MauraSull: Seriously.. My panties would not budge for thst man! RT @scooterbeanbag: Hoes does Theon keep getting all these women?
@MiddleRelief: That was the #GameofThrones tribute to the Minnesota Vikings sex boat scandal, available for replay on HBO GO.
@Rebekahdg: I think it’s in Alfie Collins’ contract that he get naked on #GameOfThrones, guy’s got not qualms about it. Equus alum, that one is.
I think someone is confusing Alfie Allen with Lily Allen and then confusing her with Lily Collins, daughter of Phil Collins and star of the upcoming soon-to-be-released major record-breaking blockbuster “Mirror, Mirror!”
Anyway, we go from boat sex straight to brothel sex, which I found extremely entertaining. Loved the voyeur peepholes, ending with Baelish, who was clearly peeping for business purposes. Reaction, however, was as expected:
@jflotv: I knew you were a peeper Baelish.
@isabelle: HBO writers are probably getting paid by number of nude scenes.
@Evilcritters: Wow. #GameofThrones is even smuttier this season.
@Chuck__Tee: ˝What the hell is this?˝ — my father ˝Oh, that’s a blowjob, Dad.˝ — me
@hereliesdobby: I wish they wouldn’t have convos during sex on #gameofthrones I have to turn in down with mom home and then I can’t hear anything -_-
Of course that was even before…
@Poppa_Falcon: UGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! Did y’all SEEEEEE THAT?!??
@ccbk: HBO, YOU ARE SO GROSS.
@_yeezie: Shawty came.out wit the cum on her cheek..dude wiped it off for her and she just started kissin ova yungin
Shawty cra.
@B0ssBentley: That was just nasty on 7 levels
@Camii23: Ok, yes, thank you, that was fucking disgusting.
@Callahan_9: And that is why you never kiss a chick at a brothel house.
@pZazzle: Wipe with a rag and pass her on. Gross moment
@Rebel_Fraggle: 2 more things about tonight’s #GameofThrones: brothel scene was gratuitous & unnecessary. Also, Ros taking up screentime is a mistake.
@TheRayVolution: Odd boobies, beheadings, cum kisses and sex with special needs consort: must be time for #GameofThrones
But is the show really known for “odd” boobies? Like how many odd boobies have we seen?
So Littlefinger goes and has a heart-to-heart with Ros. I LOVED this scene, loved how it slowly (almost casually) transformed into something threatening, and I love that Esmé Bianco can cry on-camera.
@storacle: Ros is my favorite hooker since Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman
@ClegendFall: Little Finger throwing that pimp hand down.
@themike0607: Mayor Carcetti’s pimp hand is way strong.
@spynary: ugh i fucking hate littlefinger die die die stabbbb
@ni_coley: Baelish is really upping his creepy factor this season, watch out Sansa!
I agree with the “Watch out Sansa” part.
Next we attend a private dinner with Tyrion and Lord Janos Slynt.
There was a Podrick sighting. I think.
@sirens61: Oh, and a bit bummed that Pod only got a fly-by. They didn’t even show his face! But we should see more of him later, right?
Daniel Portman has assured me he has more screen time than that!
@TheJennC: “I’m not questioning your honor. I’m denying its existence.” Good line.
@NickyOdujirin: “I’m not questioning your honour, I’m denying it’s existence.” I died at that. Tyrion, you will forever be my favourite.
@BigDamnHerosSir: Peter Dinklage is fucking amazing. Everything he does makes me happy.
@e_starpower: No matter what, I love Tyrian
@LakeRosenberg: YES FUCK YOU BABY KILLER.
@Chuck__Tee: Tyrion Lannister is a fucking Gee…
@brythebeav: #GameofThrones making Bronn commander of the Gold Cloaks is a bit farther from the books than id hope they’d stray…
Well you’re gonna really hate it when they make Brienne a prostitute, huh.
@theswavyafrican: Peter Dinklage is carrying this episode like usual
@jestermh: So all caught up on #gameofthrones and thus far the best actor and character is a midget. He’s so bad ass.
Cripes, he’s not a midg—asasjfaffgkdsfkjshgss…!
Peter Dinklage continues to be great. If anyone can challenge Hamm and Cranston for the lead actor Emmy, it’s him.
Anyway. Some Bronn love:
@BadClaire: Robeson Green is extreme fishing, Jerome Flynn is Bron. Bron wins.
@BinaryGirl85: Bronn has to be one of the best characters with the least screen time
@JoeBuffaloWins: Anyone not trust Bronn? He’s Tyrion friend/protector
I trust him. Look at that face!
We return to Yoren’s band, still trundling north…
@mkmswain: ‘Two men fighting isn’t a battle.’ It is on the Season One budget
@NocturnalLibido: This boy, the curly headed blonde one, looks like he’s a kid from Hanson.
@almasi122: ….Cos he got armor on #gameofthrones LOL
Alright, we now know from Hot Pie how to tell if he is a knight. But how do we know if she is a witch?
Speaking of Twitter spikes…
@truebornstark: Oh Gendry. Oh Arya. Why so perfect.
@serenityfound: Arya is not a lady. And don’t you dare call her one. She is a STONE COLD BADASS.
@truebornstark: COME ON ARRY JUST TAKE YOUR COCK OUT.
@Adam_Kendall: Man, Gendry & Arya are a fun duo. I’m glad he was straight forward about knowing she was a girl. MyLady #Arya
@Cbk1026: Gendry is such a bad ass
@rhoynar: on the next episode of i’m gendry waters and i troll little girls…
@LoriTweets: Arya and Gendry: I ship it. I shipped it in the books and I ship it now. #TotallyInappropriate
I knew this would happen! But what does Gendry actually think?
@joedempsie: Thanks for all the nice GoT messages this weekend, they’re also teaching me new lingo. ‘Shipping’ myself and all of you right now. So hard.
He feels the love.
By the bye, the words “Gendry” and “Theon” were actually trending on Twitter for a short while. That’s kind of excellent.
@mherr1979: Aw, Arya and Gendry are adorable.
@truebornstark: Aww, Gendry. Arya. GODS YOU TWO ARE PERFECT.
@shanghaijim: Arya/Gendry OTP!! If only I thought it would end well. BUT THIS IS ASOIAF SO HAHAHAA ALL IS DOOM
It is known.
So Theon arrives at Pyke…
@mazcast: I guess he expected balloons and a parade.
@CoolerthanUDrew: Don’t nobody care about u greyjoy!!!! Lmao
@wizardfaces: Of all the tits in all the world and you had to grab your sisters
@videodrew: I have a crush on Theon. <3 <3 <3 #fuckingidiot #livesonarock #stillsodreamy
@TSarahtops: Theon makes me feel like I need to take a shower
@jamesellaby: Bet Lily Allen won’t be sharing a horse with her brother any time soon
There would be another song happening, if that occurred.
@wrileytaylor: There’s nothing like fingering your sister on a horse ride to see your father.
@mirnster: Finger bang your sister? Meh. It happens.
Right?
We follow Theon inside Pyke, and we get to meet bitter Balon Greyjoy, as well as what could be the coolest fireplace mantle ever:
@PaleGirlSquad: Holy crap! Theon is of the House of Cthulhu!!!
@GeorgianaGossip: I want the Greyjoy Kraken fireplace!
@HEELSherrod: Greyjoys have an epic ass den! release the Chimney!!!!
@kwanzaagecko: this old dude is TEARING theon in half with words.
@AustinH_24seven: The next time I compliment someone’s clothing, I’m going to follow up by asking if they paid the iron price for it.
Incest is still funny:
@NakedDiary: Did he ….just …….his sister tho…… #gameofthrones …why am I surprised tho….?
@DontEndorseThis: Lmfaaaaaoooooo ewwwwwwwwwww Greyjoy. Fangling his own sister. Lord be some hand sanitizer.
@Goofyfan_Chuck: The most awkward brother/sister scene since Luke and Leia!
@lucchaser: HAHAHAHAHA he was fondling his sister & didn’t even know it!! This is some Luke & leia shit
@Amaceing_: #GameofThrones is pretty liberal with incest…
@kwanzaagecko: hitting on your sister: a typical day in westeros.
@CrackerStacker6: Dry humping your sister on horseback. Only on #GameofThrones
@fnerfette: PEOPLE ON #GAMEOFTHRONES, STOP GETTING WITH YOUR SIBLINGS. JUST STOP. I NEED A BATH FOR MY EYEBALLS.
Gemma Whelan as Yara Greyjoy was polarizing to say the least:
@scooterbeanbag: “Anything with a cock is easy to fool.” Line of the night.
@YaraGreyjoy: You’re the one in skirts.
@Ajordan2426: I fucking love you Yara.
@Tlieso: Yara? bleh. I like Asha as name so much better.
@traviswyatt: Hate they named Asha, Yara. Are people really not smart enough to distinguish between Osha and Asha?
@TheSmartTVGuy: Quick thoughts on GoT: Yara (Asha from the books) is not what I imagined. She’s a little butchier.
@DarthRachel: in other news.. Asha Greyjoy is as awesome as she should be! Queen of the Snarky Seas!
@erinscafe: Okay. So Asha is Yara. And Osha is Tonks. Do I have that right?
@eriktopham: Complaining about Commander Bronn or Yara Greyjoy on #GameOfThrones isn’t being a fan; it’s having a fetish. #details
But is that good or bad?
To be fair about the Whelan love/hate … pretty much 99% of the people who didn’t like her were ASoIaF readers. In fact I haven’t read a single negative comment regarding Whelan’s performance from a non-book reader. So I’m thinking this is extremely skewed. Let’s give this girl a fair shake.
So Twitter kept spiking at various times. It did it again when Lucian Msamati first appeared onscreen. Look, ma! A black dude!
@Dynamo_Diva: Finally!!! Black People!!!!!
@JediMindTrik: Hey a black man on #GameofThrones
@ThunderrKat: I think this is the first black person I’ve seen on #GameOfThrones
So for any critics who want to come at HBO for alleged “PC casting,” you might want to take a moment and wonder why the hell people noticed at all. Might it be because there are so few ethnic characters on Game of Thrones?
Soapbox time again. Look, I get that certain exacting character descriptions are needed for plot purposes. The Lannisters are blonde (generally). The Baratheons are black of hair (some of them). But just because the books say a character is a white dude doesn’t mean he or she has to be on the TV show. George R.R. Martin himself has gone on record, numerous time, defending the fact that this character isn’t blonde enough, or that character doesn’t have purple eyes, etc. If the author defends the changes, then they need not be questioned. He’s executive producer on the damned show, for cripes sake.
The way I see it, it’s about damned time we saw some color from Essos. Yes, we get that Westeros is white. It’s very white, excepting possibly the Dornish, and we haven’t even seen them yet. But Essos?
We’ve met numerous characters that do not hail from Westeros; Varys, Illyrio, Jaqen, Doreah, and Melisandre are as white as white can be. Shae passes for something not quite white (though her accent is German). You have various ethnic looks scattered in the nomadic Dothraki (Drogo, Rakharo, Irri, Qotho, Kovarro) and the Lhazareen (Mirri Maz Duur), with a lot of the extras there being a mixed bag.
But that’s as dark as we’ve gotten up to this point. Essos should be colorful, so when the producers decide the best actor for a given role is black (Lucian Msamati as Salla, or Nonso Anozie as Xaro) I rejoice.
Now then, where are the people from Yi Ti?
Off the soapbox. Back to Salladhor Saan!
@PatrickSeibell: ‘I’m not going to rape her, I’m going to fuck her’
@katiebabs: I like this comedic pirate dude
@hennybottle: great .. the one black guy on the game of thrones, and he’s obsessed with fuckin bitches.
@nkb82: he would wanna fuck a white women … typical
@DarthRachel: “Salladhor Saan said R’hllor is in my privates. I believe him. He’s seen a lot of gods.” – Melisandre
@Mr1738: Whewwww…black dude just spoke the gospel
@TheAnimeGoddess: I’m naming my vagina “The One True God”
@BrittsTheWord: “you don’t know how persuasive I am. I’ve never tried to fuck you.”
@Camii23: “You Westerosi are funny people. Man chops off your finger and you fall in love with him!” Salador Saan ships it.
@Dedalvs: I really like Salador. Yet more awesome casting.
Dothraki creator approves! But what does Chalky White think?
@BKBMG: Shout out to the brother on game of thrones
Nice.
Some love for Liam Cunningham, making the character I found most boring in the books quite a bit more interesting on the screen:
@ReallyAlly: I’ll give you a finger, Davos.
@gusandleo: Ohhh Davos, your loyalty is so rare and so woefully misplaced.
@in_a_cabin: Also, Liam Cunningham is fantastic- never liked Davos in the books but I may be swayed…
We go back to King’s Landing, where Cersei and Tyrion are having another face-off. Dinklage always gets love. This season, Headey is finally getting the credit she deserves.
@RockinMarcie: Ceraei “it’s all fallen on me.” Tyrion “as has Jamie according to Stannis Baratheon.” #GameOfThrones HAHAHA
@CCoftomorrow: I love watching Cersei come un-raveled
@Adele_Jones1: Damn the Lannisters are SO DYSFUNCTIONAL that they make the Manson’s look like The Cosby’s O_o
@Noetic_Hatter: Love Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey together.
@Salome: Lena Headey is crazy good in this “You’re funny” scene.
@scooterbeanbag: Oh snap! Cersei blames Tyrion for their mother’s death.
@katysmith3: Listen, if Mother Lannister could have twins, then an imp shouldn’t have killed her. #fact
Mm, not a fact! #fact
@DestinyofL: Oh, Cersei, you evil fucking COW!
@ThinkHero: Loved the scene between Tyrion and Cersei when they talked about their mother. Brilliant acting!
@SkyeLenaOp: Why does Cersei Lannister get all the best lines?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard that. But she’s certainly been nails this season.
Of course some people will never fall in line with the TV show Cersei:
@BinaDouble07: What isthis nonsense about trying to make Cersei more likeable? It undermines her character arc completely.
I guess Cersei accusing Tyrion of killing their mother makes her more likable. Can’t please all of the people all of the time!
We soar over to Dragonstone, where Stannis and Melisandre have a, uh, discussion…
@avgwhtgrl: That’s the biggest game of Risk I’ve ever seen!
@nkb82: he wants kids!? That’s a shocker these day
@ReallyAlly: “I have a wife.” REALLY?
Really, Ally.
@TSarahtops: And a daughter. Where is she? I don’t like this change
@Camii23: Holy shit, the accents are consistent. OMG. This show is fucking flawless.
Most of them, yep! Stephen Dillane does a fantastic ‘Robert Baratheon’ brogue.
But who cares about little details like that? On to the sex!
@nantes89: Not the war table!
@Trinifood: Bad move Stannis. That redhead is nothing but trouble.
@MelRedPriestess: Melisandre is dark and full of Stannis.
@DoranMartell: Damn @SadStannis, didn’t know you had it in ya! #grimdetermination
@JDobleOoo: I don’t condone adultery but I’m happy Stannis got laid. I hope it was worth it, but I doubt it.
@JosephPT: The fuck. Stannis moves too fast. Like he took viagra 30 mins beforehand
@alirajakhan: #gameofthrones is so filthy …everyone seems to be on Viagra :/
Two lovely little Viagra mentions. All I noticed was the fact that Stannis seemed to be wearing magical trousers. Dude doesn’t even need to reach down. I mean, unless he’s poking her through the trousers.
Or he already had it out.
@NathanD_17: welp, throw out the fucking book apparently!
@expired_data: Wait, this didn’t happen in the book! Stannis, stop it!
He’s not listening to you!
Also, some people need to brush up on their A Dance with Dragons.
Erin weighs in on what Erin is interested in:
@erinscafe: Melisandre’s boobs. Also strange.
@erinscafe: General consensus in my house is that Melisandre has man-sized areolae.
Erin, you are obsessed with breasts.
@YgrittetheWild: Well, Stannis certainly screwed over Westeros. #GOT140 #puns
Nice.
So finally we’re back north of the Wall. Hello, Jon Snow…
@Jenn_Rush: I don’t know how it’s possible, but Jon Snow is even hotter in this season. And so is Robb.
@miraonthewalll: I would totally have a threesome with Jon Snow and Rob Stark
Look, y’all need to choose. I don’t think they want a threesome.
@FYWinterfell: Jon Snow! Why are you going out there? Jon Snow, you know nothing!
@LoriTweets: Oh, Jon. The thing about Starks: they always get caught investigating shit. SEND SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT.
@mattsbigrod: If anyone fucks with snow I’ll go buck
Don’t do it, bro!
@mamamoon512: Was that a Whitewalker????? #GameofThrones wtf
@shortmocha850: They gone eat that poor lil baby
@TeamHate: ….so he gave a baby to Giant Gonzales?
Yes.
Wait, no.
What?
@HEELSherrod: Jon Snow rolling a nat 20 on that stealth check…oh wait nevermind he botched it. #CrasterUpsideYoHead
LOL nerds.
@InsanityZw: No, not Jon please D
@Rexcloose: Amazing as always!! Can’t believe Incesto knocked Stark out at the end!
Incesto knocked out Snow, technically. But I’m going to use that “Incesto” nickname sometime in the near future if you don’t mind.
@theegreatone: Is there a baby must die every episode clause?
@kittygomeow3: Pretty much fucking disgusted with #GameofThrones. Seriously, baby killing for another episode.. done with that.
@sirBONES10: If they kill off snow I will just give up on this show
No you won’t. None of you are done. None of you!
So! What did everyone think?
@King_G7: #Gameofthrones episode 2 was awesome
@WhitneyBulna: More baby killing, incest, and holy hell a lot of sex. Oh #GameofThrones you are crazy
@selia_lahugeea: If you dislike babies, you’ll love season 2 of #GameOfThrones.
@Boycer67: #GameOfThrones is officially stressing me out .. So much stuff is going on!
@cajaworski: What’s with all the redheads on #gameofthrones?
@eddywards84: Is there anyone that knows whats going on in #GameOfThrones or am I just thick
FPM!
@XanxiuZ: There are far too many unattractive people having rough sex, in this episode. Bring on Khaleeesi!
@marythespartan: All I learned was don’t have sex.
Ever.
@aboldish: I realized what was missing from tonight’s ep: @sophieRRturner !!!
#TeamSansa
@naoise_g: The tech industry is starting to feel a bit like Game of Thrones. Only with patent wars. And acquisitions. And no sex.
@lindsyallison: I was busy earlier so I didn’t get to tweet about how much I love @joedempsie as Gendry Waters. YES.
What Omar think?
@BKBMG: Game of thrones was cra
Michael K. Williams FTW.
A preview of next week’s episode looks gooooooooood…
And… EPISODE 13 SPOILER:
It is good. ‘Cause I’ve seen it. Not rubbing it in y’all’s faces or nothing. Unless you take it that way. In which case I am. Put it this way, in my personal opinion, this season’s episode 3 the best episode out of the four I’ve seen. And the phrase “I always hated crossbows…” will always be a loving part of our GoT lexicon forever after.
END SPOILER.
But really, who cares about crossbows? People want to see:
@mag_lew: Can’t wait to see Renly he’s such a flawless queen
@rural_juror: We’re overdue for some Renly/Loras action on #GameofThrones, if you ask me.
Next week: Renly! Loras! And more!

These never get old. I really like you don’t put too many fake-westeros accounts in it this year!
Also, what is cra? Even the urban dictionary can’t help me.
And yes, too little Paco in this post. Guess he’ll make up for it next week with Loras and Renly, there’ll probably not be enough CAPS in the world then.

@thedaisyharris: Is it just me or is this girl-as-boy subplot a tad yaoi?
~I had to look that up to see what it meant. What’s wrong with people?!
@spynary: ugh i fucking hate littlefinger die die die stabbbb
~The obvious reaction that D&D want people to have. Suck it, book readers!
@selia_lahugeea: If you dislike babies, you’ll love season 2 of #GameOfThrones.
~That actually made me laugh out loud.
And for the record, I think Amy Dawson is adorable. Variety is the spice of life, and all men are not created equally either — I’ve seen dudes with some comparatively funky looking dangly bits between their legs. Such is life.

Well, according to the NY Times, we all love DnD, so the reference is perfect. (Actually, I do like the occasional rpg. Screw you, Neil Genzlinger!)

Exactly. I think it’s great that they’re showing breasts on TV that are different from what’s usually shown. Time to broaden people’s perspectives, or expand our horizons.

@BinaDouble07: What isthis nonsense about trying to make Cersei more likeable? It undermines her character arc completely.
I disagree with that comment, because even though Cersei is what she is, in the books you get to appreciate why she is that way and get to pity her in some ways… and from that moment u get to see the baggage that she’s carrying which has led to her making those ‘evil’ decisions.

love the comments…. i need to get in on this for next week’s episode….
btw on the comment on the black dude and ethnic indifference, as a black person and a book reader i didnt see westeros as a ‘diverse’ culture. the free cities were more diverse than westeros.
However, the nerd in me pleads with D&D to stick with the description of the summer islanders and the ppl of Dorne for upcoming seasons. If we dont see the diversity there, I’m gonna have a fit.. (which will be placing angry comments on forums in caps)…lol…

Anyone else notice its a lot of women who are talking about the ‘weird’ breasts? Seems like a lot of female got fans must have perfect bodies. Nice. Can I buy some of you girls a drink ;)

Liked it, and nice to see that Paco is still the reigning queen on Twitter, that guy is a barrel of laughs… :)
And I hope you will cease and desist with all the black and white bitching and moaning, if and when someone in, say, Rep. of South Africa or Congo writes a fantasy novel that goes to screen I doubt it that white folks will be the lead characters in it, so just deal with the fact that 95% of the cast is white because that is the way Martin wrote the bloody series so stop being such a nuisance about unimportant things cause the source material is what it is…

I have such fun reading these tweet recaps – FaB, I think you should take all your retweet posts, and sell them as ebooks – divide them up by seasons. I would buy it!
This was my favorite tweet of the night :

“Or he already had it out”.
Damn, now I can´t stop thinking about what would have become of that scene (with Davos and Mathos included) if I had thought that Stannis had his cage open during the entire thing. lol.
” If you dislike babies, you’ll love season 2 of #GameOfThrones.” Yeah.
btw “Incesto” is the spanish word for incest. Funny name for Craster.
Also, Amy Dawson is just fine and she was great at that scene. It was really painful.

Now I can’t get out of my head that scene from “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” in which he offers to take the new female anchor around town. “It’s the pleats!” Mel is going to have flannel burns or something.

I have an off topic question that just came to mind. Has George ever said what the name of the ASoIaF world is? It is not known to me. I’m pretty sure it’s not Fish Pie.

It’s short for “relationshipping.” Like hoping certain characters get together in a serious way.
At least I think it’s in a serious way.
You can’t ‘ship one-nighters, right? Would that be called “motorboating?” No, wait…

Ppl talking abou Mel & Stannis not sleeping together in the books need to not only reread ADWD but ASOS. Mel alludes to her sleeping with Stannis in a conversation with Davos in that book as well.

Seconded. I don’t complain about everybody in Asian movies being Asian either.
There IS ethnic diversity in Essos anyway (Dothraki, Meereenese, people of Qarth as described in the book – none of them are “standard white”!), and people from the Summer Islands are black.
I’m not a racist (hell, part of my family is black!), I’m a lover of the books. Since when is being a book geek bad?
As for the tweets – LOL. I very much expected that “brothel uproar”. :D

Tar Kidho,
You may also want to stay away from Pearson’s essays as well. There are type A personalities on that board most of them newcomers who are taking perverse pleasure in ripping his works and the man to pieces. Its disgusting the amount of contempt being shown for another human being on that board.
I too am going to wait until the Twitter posts for the subsequent episodes.

Hi ! I don’t know if you have a lot of French peopel reading your blog, but I was looking for the best mean to share this piece of WTF…
People make comics based of Game of Thrones images and Kaamelott dialogues (a parodic and humorous version of Arthur and the Round Table Knights tale… A bit closer to 17th Century in the dresses and stuff, but funny anyway and completely CULT for French people…)
So here’s the link http://gameofkaamelott.tumblr.com/
And the image I thought was the funniest : http://gameofkaamelott.tumblr.com/post/6721466924/merlin-he-toi-la-bas-avec-ton-casque-a-cornes

People are seriously complaining about “PC casting” on GoT because there’s ONE black guy?
Arrrrrgh. Obviously recent current events have made me particularly depressed about the state of race relations in our society, but it’s so messed up that people complain about this stuff. It’s been obvious for some time to me that “political correctness” is just a cover phrase that people can use as a free pass to be mildly racist.

Not only that but I’ve seen another contingent complain that the only black character so far is a sex-crazed pirate. Seriously, you can’t win sometimes.

This is an awesome post FaB, I hope you do this after every episode if you have the time. I really like how you included some of the actor’s tweets (Joe Dempsie seems like a cool dude) and even some fellow HBO actors (Chalky White is the shit).
However my favorite tweets were these:
@hennybottle: great .. the one black guy on the game of thrones, and he’s obsessed with fuckin bitches.
@nkb82: he would wanna fuck a white women … typical
I laughed my ass off at those two. It is pretty funny that the first black man they cast happens to be one that is crass, obsessed with money, loves to steal, and wants to fuck a white woman. I’m sure its not intentional racial commentary subtext, and I’m not offended at all, I just find it pretty hilarious that people picked up on that — didn’t even cross my mind.

Poor Sal is just getting a bad racist rep for wanting to bone a white chick. Look around, peeps. If he’s gonna bone anyone it’s gonna be a honkey or Xaro!
P.S. My Mom was super angry about Stannis and Melisandre doing the deed on film. She’s read all the books, as have I, and we argued heartily about whether or not that was ‘in the book’. I was like, ok, clearly that *scene* wasn’t in the book because we didn’t have a PoV character there with an HBO peephole – but it was intimated to have occurred and therefore was ‘in the book’-ish. Imma have to research and find the particular references in the books to prove it to her though lol.

That was my first reaction on seeing the complaints about the captain’s daughter and Mel, too. Are these people just so used to round, implant-enhanced, over-sized, Hollywood balloons of shame that they can’t recognize real breasts when they see them?
