Just watched Episode 1, Season 1. Was ok. Is this a thing? Don't give up. The fist half of the first season is pure groundwork. And there is not one single wasted word FYI. You'll most likely be like yeah, not for me by around ep 5 or something but it gets good.... Oh so good.

Who was raped or made love to danys eldest brother that's what one of the reasons why Robert started the rebellion against the mad king.

Gotta pay attention man! Not a wasted word in the show, I always tell ppl, because it's true... The Bran shit is major puzzle pieces. So yeah, That girl, his mother, is Ned's little sister, Lyanna who they talk about since ep 1 of the series. Robert Baratheon was in love with her, blah blah maybe you remember. Dany's father was the Mad King. One of his elder sons (older than Dany) Rhaegar had a thing for Lyanna Stark. Rumor has it she was held captive and raped by him, but there are also speculation that was not the case, and they were in love. Well, she got pregnant in that tower, and had that baby... Who became Jon Snow, and Ned Stark claimed as his bastard, because Lyanna made Ned promise to take care of him and hide his identity because Robert Baratheon would have had him killed, just like he tried to have Dany and her shitstain brother hunted and killed as children, and why they had to flee out of Westeros.

TBH it kinda seems that maybe King Robert wanted Lyanna more than she wanted him and maybe even had a thing for Dany's older brother. Who knows where they will end up taking it. But the end result looks to be the same. R + L = J and the people who can figure that kind of shit out need some serious types of well paying engineering jobs. Seriously. Some of these basement geeks are way too fucking smart.

I think that may be my favorite season tho as a whole. Not sure what these book only ppl are bitching about. For as smart as they are, they don't seem to have any concept for video production etc. You couldn't possibly fit eveything in the books without it being a total mess.. I get it. I wanted Lady Stoneheart BADLY but really, I can see why they left it out. Not only do you lose major shock factor for other storylines like JS resurrection and shit, but what are you gonna have her really do that the hound and Arya now haven't done. meh. They need to get over it. Shit was epic as fuck. Yeah they are speeding shit along, but I kinda like that. More like real life. Shit changes in an instant, and do you REALLY need to see everyone traveling before they get to their destination?? If nothing happens but travel what difference does it really make. I like the pace of everything going to shit faster and faster.... just like the real world.

Damn...someone's paying attention! Thanks Well I've also known about some of these rumors from book people even tho I kinda try not to spoil myself too much, but there's just so much shit going on you can watch the entire series over and over and you will catch intertwined shit every time. I have actually watched the whole series before every new season. There is just so much shit it's crazy. That's why the Bran shit really blew my mind. I wanted more actually.

I'd recommend anyone to rewatch the whole series, and keep in mind there isn't a wasted scene in it! ESPECIALLY if you have only seen it once! Now that you have an idea of the base characters, all of the little shit behind the scenes will blow your fuckin mind, and you will see how the shit gets intermingled and the chain reactions the smallest things can set off. It's pure mastery, but that's all George RR Martin. The books are even fuckin deeper. It's nuts. I really don't understand how someone's brain can operate on that level. And he talks about it like he's a historian/documentarian... I can't even remember people's names I see on a regular basis, let alone all those miniscule details. He did base a lot of it on actual historical events tho, kinda turned up to 11, so maybe that helps... He is also a huge Grateful Dead fan and has used that for references. Not exactly sure what specifically, but I've seen him talking about that. The guy is a fuckin genius. Those producers owe him their lives.

The seasons are already short enough, this is bullshit I agree they could make them 10... But TBH I bet it has a lot to do with budget etc. Almost their entire budget was spent on the last 2 eps from what I understand. Everything is about maxing profits. HBO has had the story develop too fast and instead of a show that could run 11 or 12 seasons naturally will only now run 8 or 9. They don't want there cash cow to die so they will artificially make it last longer by shortening the seasons. I hated this crap in the last season of breaking bad and I cannot stand this crap with the walking dead.

Every year after the new season is over, I always go back and rewatch from Season 1 Episode 1....there are so many things you miss the first, second and third time around that you pick up on that makes rewatching enjoyable. Plus, WTF else am I going to watch until football season starts....baseball?!?!?!
