Alijandro 9 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 @Rito, i was spoiled before i got there and was still devastated. We will definatly see the way the characters are treated this season carefully manipulated to give this as much impact as possible. I was thinking it would come in as a big EP 9 like Neds death or the battle, but since its a split season, i think a really cold closing with no sound other than "the rains of castamere" and it all play out would be pretty haunting Dont want to judge the casting too much before i see it play out on screen. They havnt failed to provide excellent characters up to this point, so i have faith that they will be done justice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rito 0 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I was spoiled too, well not too much. I knew who was going to die and the general location of where they would die, but no other details. I can't imagine going into it with knowing nothing.. I would be too shocked to move on for a few days probably. hah. The very end of the chapter killed me. :cry: I heard George is writing episode 7, if that's true then maybe it will happen then? He's usually involved in the writing of the big event episodes. Then again, as you said.. it would make an amazing season finale. Either way, that is going to make for some really killer TV!

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 According to GoldDerby, the odds of GoT winning Best Drama at the Emmy Awards are 50/1. :cry: According to Gold Derby polling, HBO's two nominated dramas "Boardwalk Empire" and "Game of Thrones" are currently tied for last place with odds of only 50 to 1. Adding insult to injury, 12 of our 13 Experts and eight of our nine Editors have these series in their final two slots. The lone holdouts are HuffPo TV's Mo Ryan, who has "Boardwalk Empire" in third place, and Editor David Schnelwar, who has "Homeland" in his last position. In 2004, HBO made history by becoming the first pay-cable network to win Best Drama Series with the mob drama "The Sopranos." The show's final season in 2007 claimed another trophy for the network, bringing its tally to two. Since then, basic cable network AMC matched HBO's two wins and doubled them thanks to four-time reigning champ "Mad Men." In the past decade, a half-dozen other HBO dramas have been nominated in this category -- "Six Feet Under" (2002, 2003, 2005); "Deadwood" (2005); "Big Love" (2009); "True Blood" (2010); "Boardwalk Empire" (2011, 2012); and "Game of Thrones" (2011, 2012) -- but none so far have been able to match the glory of "The Sopranos" and give HBO another much-wanted win. This year should be no exception. Gold Derby's Experts, Editors and Users believe that "Mad Men" will take home its record-breaking fifth Best Drama Series trophy, with overall odds of 2/1. In second place is fellow AMC series "Breaking Bad" (13/5 odds), followed by PBS's "Downton Abbey" in third (4/1 odds) and Showtime's "Homeland" (13/2 odds) in fourth. βββββββββββββββββββββββββ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rito 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Storm of Swords: Arstan Whitebeard = Selmy Barristan. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. Never expected that, wow. I totally called it on Jorah being the informer while watching season 1 for the first time though! Hah. According to GoldDerby, the odds of GoT winning Best Drama at the Emmy Awards are 50/1. :cry: Ew, that sucks. :\ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alijandro 9 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 so i figured the first official set photo is enough to bump this thread back from obscurity! most guesses seem to pin this to Jon, however it has been tagged as been connected with a conflict with two of this seasons main protagonists which doesn't seem to meet the fit.

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 I don't think they'll win anything sadly, although they did win 6 trophies at the Creative Arts Emmys about a week ago. The awards included: outstanding makeup (non-prosthetic), outstanding costumes, outstanding art direction, outstanding visual effects, outstanding sound editing and outstanding sound mixing. GoT also won 4 Portal Awards, so that's pretty cool. http://airlockalpha.com/node/9361/game-of-thrones-conquers-with-4-portal-awards.html βββββββββββββββββββββββββ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alijandro 9 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yeah i saw that, all very well deserved. At least they were getting some nods (as it probably is one of the best produced shows technically) Was Peter Dinklage nominated again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrosia 3,775 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Awesome! Who's your favorite character so far? Keep in mind I only have the TV version to go on for now. :) However, I love Tyrion Lannister, Lady Catlett, her daughter, Ariya, and John Snow. I kind of wish they didn't kill off the king so early... he was comedic relief. Seems like his character was heavily influenced from Henry the VIII. I also like Jamie Lannister, even though he's a complete villain... he's a cool villain.
