Charlie, there's a new joke going around have you heard it? What did the five fingers say to the face? Slap!
That's what I was wondering myself. Did that type of blade come from a certain area or clan, if they have clans in GOT? Seemed like they wanted the killer to get caught and have blame put somewhere.
Point being, that's what everyone says when they read the book and it's like "Damn this a nice knife, who the fuck give an assassin a knife like this?" and TDK is still sitting there wondering who that dude was. DUDE. LISTEN TO TYRION LANNISTER. PEOPLE CALL YOU A DUMBASS? OWN THAT SHIT. KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WEAR THAT SHIT SO IT CAN'T BE USED TO HURT YOU. Or keep insisting you're a genius and cry when people feel a need to call you out on it.
I believe the knife was planted as a set up. The Lannisters didn't come to power by being stupid. They are sly and slippery mother fuckers so that knife was deliberately given to the assassin because it was stolen from another high profile family or anyone else to avert attention away from the Lannisters. SPOIL********************************** Although, since the kid wakes up that plan was shot. Edit: Check that. Based on what the Dwarf said, his brother is known for his sword not his brain. He probably gave him his own knife.
I only assume that because it was a suicide mission IMO. There is no way he was getting out of their successful or not.
People should be able to post questions without being insulted. I watched episode 1 once and episode 2 once. I didn't get it all the first time. I just asked honest questions to get a full understanding. Literally 20 characters are thrown at you at once. Hard to get them all. Quit being assholes.
I'm with this guy. Stop being jerks. Answer if you want, or don't -- but no need to insult. I also had trouble following all the characters in the first episode and went to look on a blog to figure out the relationship of the guy that was screwing the queen.
If you didn't continue to insist that you're intelligent, no one would insult you when you asked questions like the aforementioned ones.
There's a difference between trying to get everyone figured out after the first episode and wondering if: A) A woman who looked too YOUNG to be the queen was somehow Jaime's mother and B) The man in Bran's room was an assassin moments after the remaining leadership of Winterfell gathered in the Godswood and discussed that the man must have been given the dagger to kill Bran for what he saw. I'm guessing EVERYONE who hasn't read the books had a tough time following the characters in the first episode. That's not what this is about. At all. It's also based in history. TDK, did you ever figure out why Eddie Brock hates Spiderman?
He was mostly getting mocked for the idiotic way he phrased the question. There are probably a thousand ways to ask what he wanted to know and he chose the absolute worst and most confusing one.
I can't believe how fast this weeks episode went by, that felt like 10 minutes instead of an hour. Its been so very long since I read the first book (I wasn't even married yet) that a lot of the details are being refreshed in my mind. So its not like I already know everything that's going to happen before it does, which makes it a lot more fun to watch. BTW, I'm still in the process of moving to a new house, so I've been too damn busy to comment much. Hope nobody missed me. I got the new computer desk put in place and the internet turned on yesterday, hallelujah!
Same. I've largely forgotten most of what and who happens, so as this is going on, I'm having plenty of 'Argh' moments. :lol: Best of luck / Congratulations with the New House
I watched the first episode online yesterday. I was hoping for Spartacus: Blood and hobbits. Not what i got. But ill give it a few more episodes since spartacus isn't coming back until 2012, and walking dead wont be back until october. I didn't like the first half much, but as the show went on it grew on me a bit. The hard part was i had no idea what the hell was going on.
