Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue abound. The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard, suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching an incestuous plot to take control. Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north, an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits, The Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond.

Could someone change the episode titles of 03x01 and 03x02 to "Valar Dohaeris" and "Dark Wings, Dark Words"? :)
I haven't watched the show yet, only the first few episodes, but I guarantee you (I've read all five books): SHOW SPOILER THINGS GET HEAVY, SPECIALLY THE ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT UNEXPECTED RED WEDDING WITH CATELYN AND ROB'S DEATH.
@czmieli @goodplastic Can you use spoiler tags next time please? Especially if it's from an unaired season or from the books. You can use spoiler tags by doing this: [.spoiler]Mark is the murderer![./spoiler], without the dot. I edited your posts.
Cheers
Spoilers for season 3:
SHOW SPOILER The part of the red wedding was amazing. You could feel the tension building up!
Modnote: use spoiler tags.
@Valerie I thought so, but then I read this information somewhere and I shared it. I hope it will happen not so soon :D
@czmieli : really? I thought they were splitting up book 3 into two different seasons, like Martin did with the book?
I start reading the books because I couldn't wait anymore and may I say ... The books are awesome!
SPOILER for season 3!
SHOW SPOILER The Red Wedding will happen in episode 9 of season 3.
Modnote: Use spoiler tags.
They closed today’s Game of Thrones panel at San Diego Comic Con by announcing the season three premiere date. It debuts on March 31, 2013!
SHOW SPOILER Holy shit, I just watched Blackwater yesterday (yes, I'm kinda late). I am expecting Valar Morghulis to be shit because they definitely spent the entire season budget on the wildfire scene!
SHOW SPOILER Game of Thrones meets The Walking Dead.
Episode 9 was just awesome!
@nielstaildeman Look, a troll!
@Mitholas don't be such a little girl
Loving every minute of this serie
@az25 One episode of that boys club and I already knew what we were in for. Never really bothered again. It doesn't help that the only people I know who like it are boneheads.
I didn't say GoT was necessarily sexist though. But let's not get started on that topic.
damn dude, at least give the guy who defended you the courtesy and not show him up with your very next comment. yeesh. that's one notch too far.
@Mitholas You should watch Entourage, my friend.
@Tante Thank you, that was my point exactly.
@kasseikerel @az25 The comment reduced a character to her naked physical appearance. It's sexist, and I can't say I think there's ever a wrong time or place to point that out.
@Tante @Mitholas He was joking! Come on, people, don't take things so seriously, especially here.
@kasseikerel There was no real need to defend yourself so heavily.
And to all of you, if you have a serious issue with sexism locally, deal with it locally. This isn't a shoutbox to discuss the issues of sexism. This isn't the place to jump on people for a statement that was CLEARLY meant to be funny. If you don't find it funny, fine. But bite your tongue, and move on, don't respond with something silly like a feminism 101 site. He's not advocating that women aren't as good as men or anything like that, so come off of it. There are places in real life that you can send a letter too if, like i said, you have issues with sexism in real life. THIS IS NOT THE FORUM FOR IT.
