[Official] Game of Thrones Ep. 1.10 Discussion

[Sawyer5665]

I could have lived without seeing the Lannister squire naked..Cersei only likes guys that are related to her. What's to stop her from getting busy with King Goffrey?

[Dreyesbo]

I would like some more details as well on the dragons hatching. Was it Dany's presence in the fire that made the eggs hatch...or was it the sacrifice??

I'm going to disagree a bit with frekkells here...I don't think Dany knew the dragons would hatch, and neither she intended them to. Hell, I don't even think she thought she would survive. In the books, she isn't impervious to heat/fire. (Although I understand and agree why they would change that so)

What happened then was a one time deal, something we don't know how it happened, only that it did. Magic is coming back to this world, and brought dragons with it.

I disagree, heh. Part of Dany knew that the eggs could hatch, and that she would not be harmed by the flames. I don't think she had any intention of dying with her sun and stars, though I know she loved him dearly.

Yeah, I think she knew she wouldn't die too. But the hatching of fossilized dragon eggs, after being extinct for centuries? I don't know, I don't think so.

Because she wouldn't...um..erm...yeah. You've got a point there. I watched this one with a friend, and we joked that this was a slight improvement over doing it with a brother.

Dunno, she was pretty obsessed with the eggs, and tried to hatch them in the cookfire. I'm about to do a reread, I'll let you know if I change my mind.

A first cousin would be an improvement to a brother, but seeing that Lancel is a scrawny teenage boy really diminishes the level of improvement. Ewww.

Don't get me wrong, despite my general dislike for Jamie's behavior and the fact that he is her twin brother, I can't deny the guy is good looking, but I have to say that seeing her first cousin that way, made me think he was more of a man than I thought. This whole time I thought here is another character who needs to man up...and suddenly there he is with Cersie, which wasn't exactly what I meant, but perhaps he will come into his own and not turn out to be such a wet rag after all...because I do have empathy for him, if only he could find some potential.

Just bought the first novel!!!!! I can't wait to get started on it.

Hey! Sorry I didn't join into the discussion or write my regular recap. Was in the middle of dealing with a move. Anyway, I'm not going to repeat what everyone else has said here, but I too REALLY enjoyed the finale. It was a fantastic epilogue for most characters, with Daenerys driving the rest of the story.

Let me know what you think! PM me, or maybe we'll start a Book 1 discussion thread somewhere.

On a final note, since I was lame and didn't write recaps for episode 9/10, I was wondering if anyone was still interested in Book --> Screen comparison articles. I was planning on first tackling some character alterations (namely, some of their motivations and characterizations, specifically starting with Sansa and Daenerys). Anyone interested?

Yes, I would love that.
