How could Tywin have travelled all the way to defeat Robb, then travel all the way across to Kings landing, all in time to help relieve the siege? It would be impossible.

Also, Tywin doesn't mention at any point about meeting Robb Stark in the field. Arya (and most of the viewers, including myself) just assumed it.

Finally, Tywin proclaims they have held the city or some **** like that when he comes in to meet Cersei

TBH we only saw Tywins cavalry at Kings Landing in the show. We never saw any infantry.

He could have left the bulk of his army (infantry, auxilia, archer, seige) at Harrenhal with orders to hold/defend, and doubled back to Kings Landing with his cav to assist. That would explain his fast movement from Harrenhal to KL. Though how he and House Martell (Loras) arrived at the same time, I suppose that is some off-screen co-ordination.

Haha, put the ego away and calm down bro, your getting riled over some guy with a different opinion on game of thrones, chill

Hound would wreck Jamie 1v1, he is alot stronger than probably only slightly slower..just a very brutal fighter. Shame fire turns him into a cowering wreck but thats understandable and his character needs SOME weakness. Bronn is a cheeky kunt but would have been destroyed.

I think peak Jaime would win 1v1 vs peak Hound.

Hound is built for battles.

And Jaime was mentored by Barristan, I doubt Hound had access to a teacher/mentor of that level, since less than a handful existed in the right timeframe in the story. And that is in the book. All we know is that Hound is one tough SOB and good in battle, while Jaime the finest talent and mentors.

I hope people at least buy the DVDs. A show of this caliber deserves to be paid for in some way.

I purchased Season 1 DVDs and will for Season 2 once they're released ... If I hadn't watched it I wouldn't have purchased it, and I have no way to watch it.. without purchasing stupid subscriptions... Nomsayin?

I never understood this from season1. When Jaime cut up Ned Stark in season 1. Was this because Jaime was that good or did he get lucky against Ned Stark? I haven't read the books and don't know much of the characters. In comparison to Ned Stark, was Jaime the superior fighter?

Hound is mentioned as being as having an extreme talent for violence, Jamie is very skilled but the hound is much more brutal. Barristan in his prime > all apart from Ser Arthur Dayne.

Was annoyed that they cut Victarion from this season, alpha as fuark and seems to be a sick kunt in battle

Ned was a good fighter, but Jaime didn't really "cut him up"..his guards speared Ned's leg.

Jaime is arguably the best fighter in the realm. Maybe 2 people can challenge him.

Ned was a good fighter but old.

I highly doubt it. Bronn would of cut the hound 3-4 times before he even lifted that big ass sword of his. And Jamie would of probably oystabbed the hound in the face with that dagger of his, like he did to Ned Starks boy.

This. I think a lot of people underestimate Bronn's fighting skills.

Is the trailer for the next episode allowed to be discussed in here?

True dat.

I remember a couple of episodes back Littlefinger and Tywin discussing House Martell at Harrenhal?

Maybe the bulk of the force that arrived at KL was comprised of Martell troops, leaving the Lannister's the opportunity to strike at Robb's army with remaining troops.

Season finale looks to explain a lot, I cant wait but at the same time I can...

Im going to miss having that feeling where Im waiting a week for a GOT episode

[nvrstopworking]

Fawk.... I will never understand why "The Walking Dead" gets so much love when the writing in shows like "GoT" and "Spartacus" is 298462908460289642964 x better.

Actors who can actually ACT and characters that make you fall in love with them (rather than facepalming and hoping that they die).

Even Joffrey (huge prick that he is) is played beautifully. He makes me want to kick his face in every time he's on screen lol.... perfect.

if it's aired, it's fair game

lol

joke of the century saying spartacus has actors who can actually act. i got 10 minutes into it and cringed the whole time before having to shut it off. just horrendous. soap-opera-esque.

[Kenetics]

Is this suppose to be a hint/book discussion?

For all we know Tywin could have defeated Robb's army and then went to King's Landing.

If you look at a map of Westeros there is no way Tywin could march on Robb. A lot of people have zero concept of the geography on the show because they don't look at a map of the realm.

He rode south from Harrenhal to Kings Landing probably following the Kingsroad. Robb right now is far West of Harrenhal, which is why in one of the episodes Roose Bolton is going to send his bastard to take back Winterfell because right now Robb really can't go back unless he wants to give up the campaign.

In my opinion it doesn't say much. Walking Dead is perhaps the biggest pile of dog crap ever. How anybody follows the show surprises me. I know certain shows will always have a following. Zombies alone in general will attract a large crowd. If it wasn't for the Zombies the show would be, will nothing,lol. Spartacus is a fun show but yes. The acting is horrible. Most people don't watch Spartacus for the acting.

Have you guys watched the "Rome" series? worth it??

[Hollisio]

This. I think a lot of people underestimate Bronn's fighting skills.

Bronn is made out to be a swash buckling rogue mercenary who can handle him self very well where as the Hound is made out to be near legendary in terms of combat prowess, brute force and reputation. Its easy to overestimate Bronn from the shows, he is certainly very very handy in a sword fight though, and pretty sly and cunning also.

Yea i know. I've seen the map, and am aware of the main places geographic locations.

i liked it

FYI Loras = Tyrell from Highgarden...

House Martell is the SOuthern Part of Westeros... they have not been in the show yet... their castle is sunspear...

supposedly the Martells do not like the Lannister's much because they killed off Rhaegar's princess and her kids who were Martells during the sack of King's Landing during Robert's rebellion. Although, they did accept Myrcella to wed one of their dudes.

Post is more for the people who don't know though. I would post a map but I'm sure some people will freak out and think it's spoilers.
