Seriously, yes, it has been good.

This and The Walking Dead are the only things I'm interested in watching these days. Season 2 has been fantabulous.
It looks gorgeous in super sexy Bloo Rayz-o vision.
The soundtrack is great.
The script is fabulous.
The characters all imbue me with loathing or the fear of what fate will befall them. There is no middle ground whatsoever.
I only wish they'd laid off with the number of whimsical folk. The fatty on The Wall was enough. The giant female knight is the only character that's a bit too silly. Not that having an ultra loyal female knight is silly it's just that she plays it like a lumbering buffoon.
Anyway, just settling down to episode 9...
...ooh, y'know who I like lots though? Jaqen. I loved his part in helping Arya.

Whimsical, is he? Silly, is she?
Read on, or watch on if you prefer. Martin doesn't add characters for comic effect.
It's amazing to think that people watching the series...

I've finished the last episode of season 2 and I am sad. That was a-fricking-mazing. I didn't love it as much as the first season, but so what, it was utterly fascinating from the first minute to the last.
It probably helps that it looks the business in super-duper-sexy HD.
Now, I just need to wait another year for the next season to come on Bloo Rayz. Fuck my life. And fuck Sky Atlantic not being on Virgin.

I haven't found a nice site for that type of thing. In fact , I only ever use yifi-torrents for movies as I can play them on my phone.

Just out of curiosity, have you never heard of even, for example, the Pirate Bay? I just assumed you were holding out for Bluray discs on purpose, the idea that you were happy to download this kind of stuff but literally didn't know where to go never even occurred to me.
S03e01 on the NG today!
I found an allegedly 1080i version of this which I'm downloading to see what it's all about. I don't really understand the 'i' and 'p' part of these things (I've Googled and read up on it loads of times but it's one of those subjects where the information just never seems to stick in my head) so it's probably just nonsense but I'm grabbing a trusty 720p version as well anyway.
1080i and 720p are subjectively very similar. The i refers to 'interlaced' meaning that the vertical resolution is effectively halved. Given the choice, I'd go with 720p

Assuming the 1080 version converts for the PS3 okay I'll give them both a shot and see if I can see a difference. What resolution are these things originally broadcast in?
Some stuff on Sky HD is in 720p (their live football is), some is 1080i.
720p will be plenty for good viewing.

Oh aye, everything else we watch is 720p and looks plenty nice on the big tv; I was just curious as I saw the 1080 version pop up in the search results.
To that torrenting thing!

I was a little disappointed with that. A bit too much scene setting.
I've just watched this! In HD! From a torrentz! On my PS3!
I couldn't be happier since I won't have to wait twelve months. Cor blimey govnah, I ain't 'arf happy. Whoop de whoop.
Anyway, it felt more like a continuation of season 2 than a start to a new season. I've not long finished so it didn't bother me in the slightest but if I hadn't watched it in a while I might have forgotten who everyone was and what was going on. Mind you, I did wonder who the guy on the sea rocks was momentarily.
I thought season 2 had too many of these kinds of episodes though where not much happens whereas season 1 was a roller coaster on excellence.
I did have a hearty chuckle when they were buying slave soldiers. "Tell this western whore I ain't got all day, it's hot" "What did he say" "You must choose quickly as there are other buyers" "oh right, coolio".

Could someone do me a favour and post in a spoiler what happened at the end of season two with what his face Lannister (the dwarf((is that offensive?!))) and his dad and everyone else? I have forgotten why he is in the situation he is in.
His dad hates him

The T&A is very much dialed down this season, isn't it? I guess they have their audience now
*deletes files*
It seems to be a bit less fighty so far as well

If I haven't seen episode 2 of the new season or read the books yet, can I open those spoilers?

Best not.
I'm a season behind, but I have to note my amusement at the point where Stannis Baratheon corrects his mate on the proper usage of 'less' and 'fewer' towards the start of S2.

I dunno.
I quite like Stannis.
The scene with was excellently done. He portrayed brilliantly, and she did well . it was brilliantly unsettling, creepy and well acted.

Actually, it was all good this week. Even the bits with Sansa. mostly as other people were being brilliant whilst the actress sat there and wondered why people were dressed funny and occasionally begin to talk nonsense at her, often repeating the same thing several times as an increasinly angry man shouts "CUT"! and then it gets dark and they all go home. not knowing what to do, she sits there and waits.
I enjoyed the part with Catelyn and Robb's wife. It added an extra layer to Jon's story very nicely.

Tywin is my favourite character from both books and film. He's clearly the best leader. He's also unsentimental and knows how to get shit done. The country previously did fine with him in charge for 20+ years, so they could do with more of that sort of leadership.
Plus, he's meant to shit gold.
