Obviously no book knowledge that is spoilerific should be mentioned, but comparisons of characters or already aired events should be ok.
Personally I've only seen season 1 so have no knowledge of season 2. I did find it quite interesting though when those who had read the books commented on the series, just so long as the comments were discreet.
must say I am really looking forward to season 2. I will be watching at UK pace so if the thread is US paced I will need to avoid it between US airing and UK airing.
I guess the new guy coming in to claim the throne is the other Baratheon brother they were talking about at the end of the first season isn't he? (a yes or a no, without elaborating wouldn't constitute a spoiler would it?)
Yes that's Stannis Baratheon, I don't think clarifying who is who is spoilerific, as long as people don't elaborate on what does or doesn't happen to them.
So excited for Season2, I hate wishing my life away but April 1st needs to hurry up and get here already.
Edited to add a thank you to the OP for all the awesome links
Yes, lets keep this US paced. We can create a UK pace thread again if the gap proves too great
The books can be discussed providing it does not include spolierific material in, or past A Clash of Kings which has not already been covered in S2.
This includes anything in A Clash of Kings which has not been included in the TV show (we know that elements of Game of Thrones were ignored in Season One and brought over to Season Two). This series probably needs "A Song of Ice and Fire" discussion thread in 'books.'
Season 2 starts in the UK a day after the US premiere so I don't really see the need for a seperate UK Pace thread
True, my Spartacus UK paced thread died and that has 3 days gap. I can wait a day before catching up with the thread.
I think that is what was thought last time when a UK pace thread was started before a US thread
I'd suggest we stick to one (non Pace specific) Thread (this one) for discussion of the show and also have a Book Vs Show thread that allows Book Spoilers.
Any Season 3 casting Info (which will probably start in a couple of months) can be put in the ongoing Casting Thread
Makes sense to me
Woo, Daeny!
I just watched that this week - had heard about it when he was cast, and I love HBO and historical drama's so it seemed like something I'd like - never got around to watching it until this week. He was great, really, really great.
I like him as Stannis in all the previews. Really excited about the Stannis, Mel, Davos camp.
I officially pledge my allegiance to the House Targaryen. To serve under Daenerys Stormborn, The unburnt mother of dragons and the true Queen of Westeros.
Fans at WonderCon could have their own image added to this poster.
This one might be familiar to people but there are lots of others as well.
I thought Renly was the camp Baratheon

The same here, started watching the show for 3rd time today. 11 days to go so 1 episode/day will do just fine (if I don't finish them by tomorrow
I've got the books, but didn't read them. Thought I prefer to be surprised watching the show and then read the book to get more into details. What do you suggest? :cool:
I've read all the books, finally finished Book 5 last weekend. To be frank, the whole thing has melded into one so that although I know how the story progresses I can't remember what happened in each book. Therefore I'll still be enjoying Series 2 as I can't really remember what happens in it
I've done the same, I have the first two books but waiting til I watch season 2 before I start them I agree that the visual impact will be more not knowing what's coming but that the books will give great detail and background.
I agree, makes sense considering they've already juggled bits from the first couple of books around.
Not read the last book yet, still got that to look forward to:). I can't remember the ins and outs of Clash of Kings but as soon as something starts to build on screen I'm sure the memory will be jogged. I actually think that once I get emerged in series 2 again I'll probably dig the book out to see whats gonna be coming up in the next episode. I'll probably confuse myself though if they dont follow the sequence of the book exactly.
