He's sooooo dreamy
Loved it! The Dani and the dragons was the best scene and finally made that boring storyline worth it. Didn't like how the Jon Snow "traitor" storyline played out... In the book Halfhand tells him straight out to kill him when they are cornered by Rattleshirt in a cave - then they rush out and Jon turns on him and kills him in a fight. More convincing of a traitor but whatever - gets to the same point in the story for next season.
Poor imp...

A little bit about new characters for Season 3

That link also has a review of season 2 that NAILs the sophomore slump effect i was trying to convey earlier.
RIP Rocklobster & Straph
In the comments someone mentioned that 95% of viewers have not read the books... if that's true and I don't see anything to back it up I understand the simplistic approach in S2.
I just think, they only make it bad/worse by playing to the lowest common denominator.

They also have to consider, their audience is not just fanboys of the books... This show is clearly popular with a whole cross section of people who would not normally watch a "fantasy epic" or w/e u want to call it.
Just reminds me that I'm glad I don't know book/show comparisons till after the show airs
There are a thousand named characters in the first 3 books?? Thats crazy... and clearly impossible to portray in 10 hours of TV.
9 out of 10 times it just has to be whats practical to make 10 hours of TV without a lot of open ended plot lines that they may never get a chance to go back to (ala' Lost)...
