Gab about last night's "Game of Thrones" episode [spoilers ahoy] [More:]I was kind of "meh" about the series at the beginning. But now I'm hooked.

Last night we got not just one but two scenes of incredible badass-ery in single combat.

First, Syrio - the fencing instructor for Ned's daughter Arya - successfully dispatches five murderous Lannisters with a wooden sword.

Then Khal Drogo regulates a backtalking and scimitar-looking thingy wielding Dothraki warrior bare-handed - ending by tearing his tongue out of his throat.

I have a feeling that guy is going to make a terrific Conan.
We don't get this in the UK until tonight, so I'm not going to look at this thread AT ALL. But I'm loving this show, absolutely loving it.

Oh, he's gonna be a great Conan. And sure, his fighting is awesome, but his shit-talking? Unparalleled.

I actually think that Khal Drogo and Tyrion would get along quite well.

I love this show so much but havent seen last night's episode (and probably won't until next week) because we're moving.

I just finished the book - the writing was so-so but the story is great (the show sticks very close to the book) and not very fantasy-genre (a plus for me) save for the spellings of goofy character and city names.

So I know how the season ends, but I still can't wait to see it. And make babies with Drogo.

[Spoiler]I just finished watching tonight's episode. It was great. How will Eddard Stark get out of this??!! My favourite character is Tyrion Lannister. Will he be forced to go to battle??!!I was surprised to learn that the actor who plays him is American.

Oh, and ZOMBIES!!

Oh, and as a book-reader, FINALLY we got to see Rickon. I was starting to think he'd never show up.

I was watching this for more Dinklage and I hate his costume for him. I haven't read the books but I'm wondering about Dothraki hordes. I got my dad a Stark House shirt for father's day. War comes on so suddenly and I'm still surprised they could dispatch of a king so easily.

Game of Thrones t-shirts? Oh, good lord.

I want to take over HBO merchanizing and make it into a thing of art. They could do so much, but I bet they make a fair amount as it is. I got a Merlotte's shirt.

He's from my home town in New Jersey of all places. Oddly, the only other famous actor from there is Linda Hunt.
