Love GOT...love, love, love, love it...
Two episodes back was probably my favorite episode ever...and this next one looks like it might be pretty freakin' amazing.
I can see why they are doing fewer episodes this season and next season...the production budget must be through the roof this year...

Obviously not there yet. Finished season 3 and the Red Wedding last night but from what I hear the production value is pretty incredible this year.

You know, everyone told me the Red Wedding was going to blow my mind, yadda yadda yadda. This was way before I saw the episode.
When I saw it, I wasn't even sure in my mind if this was the episode everyone was telling me was such a mind blower. I still don't understand all the jaw-dropping over that episode. Yeah, some important characters died and all, I guess, from what I remember, but still, it was underwhelming to me compared to all the hype I was hearing...

That's kinda my one main issue with the show and why I don't get sucked in. The rationale for a lot of happens with Robb Stark and the Army of the North just doesn't really make all that much sense. The Red Wedding was really done well I think as it comes sorta outta left field and if you were watching it real time would be furious having to wait until next season to resume so that's all good showmanship. Its something I really should read before I watch Me-thinks.
That said the universe that is created is simply incredible and to showcase all of it with so many different story-lines something has to give...
I'll keep watching it just not totally sold on it.

Game of Thrones is the only show on TV that we watch live. Just cannot wait for the next episode.
Everything else we DVR.

I agree completely on both counts.
Love seeing her on that dragon.
BTW, re: budget... when my son was working on Planet of the Apes 3, his job was Cesar's nest and the tunnel. He told me that those scenes were $3.5m for 30 seconds of screen time.

One thing I read about the show is that the book material is done as Martin hasn't written one in a while. That means the current team will be writing how the story goes.
The show is strange in that when it is not on I don't really think about it at all but when in season I can't wait to see what happens next.
Who is the fan fave to get their comeuppance-Cersei or little finger? Someone else?

I agree. I think Littlefinger dies this season. Maybe Arya kills the sleezy bastard.

Saw the latest episode...refuse to watch leaks if only because they are usually pretty poor quality
Anyway...thought the episode was kinda ridiculous until the end...

PA,
I love them all, but this one was highly predictable and the timeline was all wrong.
They were actually talking about that in a newspaper article on Monday: Crows must fly at the speed of light or something like that.

^Yeah, all the timing issues were farcical. And this whole Arya/Sansa thing better turn out to be them (or just Arya) manipulating Littlefinger, and not the other way around. Arya's much smarter than she's been acting.
Finale episode will be almost 80 minutes long!
