What do I need to know? I know nothing, is that best?

It completely passed me by when it was on TV but the guys at work rave about it.

You know nothing Jon Snow GlaikitFizzog!

It's awesome. The kind of awesome where I envy you about to start watching it for the first time.

GlaikitFizzog · 09/10/2013 15:18

Not the newsreader?!

So far there has been, Dr digby from holby city and quite a lot of nakedness!

Urgh! I'm so freakin' jealous!
Know this, you are about to fall in love.

ZebraZeebra · 09/10/2013 15:26

Not the news reader, no. This beautiful specimen of a man.

GlaikitFizzog · 09/10/2013 15:37

Oh yes, spotted him!

Now tell me, are they all at it with their sisters?

OP posts:
ZebraZeebra · 09/10/2013 15:43

No, I don't think so....Just those two.

GlaikitFizzog · 09/10/2013 16:58

Ooh, just watched the first two episodes.

First thoughts are:

Prefer Sean bean to Jon snow
That Joffrey is a brat
I love aria
Her sister not so much
Blondie girl is so going to whoop her brothers ass at some point

Am I addicted already?

I wish I could unknow everything about GoT so I could watch it again afresh from the beginning. I'm quite envious.

ZebraZeebra · 11/10/2013 21:44

Me too ThreeBee, me too!

ZebraZeebra · 11/10/2013 21:45

Remind me of episode six Glaikitfizzog?

It's been so long sob

3xM · 11/10/2013 21:51

ThreeBee If you haven't already, read the books. Gives almost the same effect as watching them for the first time. Helps you to understand more about the characters and their motivations and also the history and politics of Westeros.

GlaikitFizzog · 11/10/2013 22:02

Shall we say, blonde brother (targaryen?) got his crown from Dalthraki dude.

I must say I'm getting confused with all their names, some of them are quite similar and a few of the men look the same too. rob and Jon are very similar.

ZebraZeebra · 11/10/2013 22:08

Oh yes, yes I know now. Ta Grin

I think Jon Snow really comes into his own in the next season, really. You'll soon know what is meant by "You know nothing, Jon Snow."

AryaofhouseSnark · 11/10/2013 22:10

It's brilliant Grin
I am a bit Envy that you get to watch it all freshly from the begginging.

AryaofhouseSnark · 11/10/2013 22:11

Ah x post with lots of pp

ZebraZeebra · 11/10/2013 22:21

Brilliant username though ^

BoulevardOfBrokenSleep · 11/10/2013 22:28

We're just watching season 2 - still behind the times, but a bit less than you!
DH hasn't read the books and is really enjoying the series. To be fair, we have to stop about every ten minutes so I can explain who everyone is and who they are related to and/or trying to kill and/or marry... Hmm

(If I remember, I will video his reaction to That Episode in season 3 Grin)

ThatVikRinA22 · 11/10/2013 22:34

I also envy you....I am having withdrawals. ...best thing in telly for ages.....I need the new season.....

Trills · 11/10/2013 22:44

Luckily Rob and Jon will shortly be not in the same place at the same time, so you'll be able to know which is which like that.

Don't go reading online. It's much better if you don't know what's coming. When it was new to TV, it seemed as though everyone who had read the books was very good about not shouting all over the internet, so nobody would come across things unexpectedly.

Cooroo · 11/10/2013 22:52

The books are great and add to the viewing. It would be lovely to binge watch it - we did that with Breaking Bad and it was extra absorbing but did make for some late nights!

Enjoy, there's some great stuff coming up.

AryaofhouseSnark · 11/10/2013 23:04

Thanks Zebra. Smile
Yes we binge watched it, got through series one and two really quickly.
We did the same with bb too. Grin might have to start from the beginning with that.

GlaikitFizzog · 12/10/2013 14:08

It's like a game of spot the British actor you would never have tight would be in something like this!! Jerome Flynn! Of robson and Jerome! :)
