I agree with Quentin on that spoiler.
This show is about as close to impossible to watch partway through as you can get; in fact, I would say it is impossible to watch that way, and get any enjoyment out of the activity. The show features a cast of nearly 100, including many supporting characters that are just as important story-wise as the leads. Multiple story lines occurring simultaneously, and interacting in a variety of complex ways.Stan said:Anybody have a good link or maybe a quick summary of this show?
I've heard so many positive things, switched back to HBO, but I'll be starting with episode 30. If I can get it online, or even a written summary of what has gone on so far it would be very helpful, just need to pointed in the right direction.
Thanks
Do not start watching at episode 30. Why would you do that?If you're interested in the show, start with season one episode one.Stan said:Anybody have a good link or maybe a quick summary of this show?

Good plan. I jumped into the middle of Fringe and Lost, and did fine. (I did go back and watch Fringe, but Lost's' ending pissed me off so much I never went back.) But I'm sure I would be screwed if I'd tried that with GOT.Stan said:Looks like I'll use the DVR for the new stuff and hold off watching it, but will go back to the beginning until I'm caught up.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Continue to read the full article.The third season is complete. The fourth is coming. Yet HBO’s Game of Thrones faces a potentially complicated future. Below Thrones showrunners, author George R.R. Martin and HBO’s programming president talk to EW about how the hit series might navigate the franchise’s uniquely twisting road ahead. “There is a ticking clock here,” says writer-executive producer David Benioff.Sunday’s finale cut off the action roughly two-thirds of the way through George R.R. Martin’s third Ice and Fire novel, A Storm of Swords. There’s two more books left unexplored (A Feast for Crows, A Dance With Dragons), which will present a few manageable adaptation challenges. Martin is working on his sixth book (The Winds of Winter) and plans a seventh (A Dream of Spring), but there’s no guarantee either will be ready in time for Thrones’ annual production schedule, or even that the seventh novel will be Martin’s last entry in the series.Season four, at least, should be relatively straight-forward. Martin’s story provides a strong map for the near-term.Adapting Feast is more tricky.
Agreed. She is too self-centered to kill herself. She needs to protect her children -- especially Joffrey.Kevin EK said:I don't think Cercei was talking about killing HERSELF. I think she is planning an unfortunate end to Ser Loras. Having Jaime back would probably be a help to her in that respect. Her comment to Tyrion about wanting to throw herself out the window notwithstanding - and I think that was more to do with the life she had while Robert was king than the life she has now.
