    Game of Thrones: Rated (arrrr)R, for Sex and Pirates

    Episode 2 expanded the already huge scope of the series by putting more focus on secondary characters. Also sex...lots of deviant sex.

      A good followup to the season premiere to keep my interest in this show. I was not as engaged as some viewers were with the episode tonight, but amidst this very talented cast, I found myself drawn to Arya's storyline the most. Seeing her pursuit for revenge has been good and I cannot wait until it reaches fruition down the line. I do not like this show as much as some do, but I liked tonight's ep.moreless

      The Good:

      -"Sometimes those with the most power have the least grace."

      -"Dwarf? You should have stopped at imp."

      -Theon finally gets some substantial character development away from the Starks.

      -Davos admits to his son that he has no God but King Stannis.

      The Bad:

      -Melisandre and Stannis having sex does not make sense at all.

      -It seems as though the story is going awfully quick for being only the second book. Hopefully, "Game of Thrones" doesn't get ahead of itself.moreless

      "The Night Lands" was a perfect episode of Game of Thrones and I really enjoyed watching because the story focused on other characters and gave them more depth and development. It was awesome to see Theon return home to find a disappointed father, Arya finding a friend in Gendry who is wanted dead by Geoffry, and Sam trying to help a pregnant girl. Seeing Ghost was pretty cool. Tyrion stirred things up around court and it was great to see him in action. I love how clever he is. Jon Snow finds himself caught up in trouble in the end leaving me wanting to know more. I look forward to watching the next episode, though it can't come soon enough!!!!!!!!!moreless

    • there we go, we're getting back to the magic of the first season

      Just as I thought, while the premiere didn't feel like it had much story going on, it did set the show on track and this episode start to feel like the first season ! We see political games slowly taking places, wars being prepared and the mysterious events in the North teasing our curiosity. I still think the pace is a little slow for a show that only has 10 episodes but it sure makes me want to see the next episode !

      It is nice to see some character development, and I am really curious of Arya's future since I haven't read the books yet.moreless

      I like this season, even though I miss Ned this season seems darker than the first one. I mean there are 5-7 kings and only one throne... I can't wait to see how that is going to end. But meanwhile this show gives you more than decent hour with the characters that we love and the vibe LOTR like that just keeps me coming back home, Westeros.

      • Balon Greyjoy: Who gave you those clothes? Is it Ned Stark's pleasure to make you his daughter?
        Theon Greyjoy: My clothes offend you, I will change them.
        Balon Greyjoy: You will. That bauble 'round your neck, did you pay the iron price for it or the gold? I asked a question. Did you pull it from the neck of a corpse you made or did you buy it to match your fine clothes? Iron or gold?
        Theon Greyjoy: (hesitatingly) Gold.

      • Petyr Baelish: Sometimes those with the most power have the least grace.

      • Tyrion Lannister: Tell me, when your men slaughtered Ned Stark's men in the throne room, did you give the order?
        Lord Janos Slynt: I did, and I would again. The man was a traitor, he tried to buy my loyalty.
        Tyrion Lannister: The fool...he had no idea you were already bought.
        Lord Janos Slynt: Are you drunk?! I'll not have my honour questioned by an imp!
        Tyrion Lannister: I'm not questioning your honour, Lord Janos...I'm denying its existence!
