I can’t do a recap for last week since this is being shown immediately after A Golden Crown online at hbogo.com

Wait, so there’s two episodes tonight? Sweet!

Not that I can find on the schedule. The show at 10 is a repeat of the one at 8.

The second episode is shown online at 10, only if you have HBOgo.com

This episode will be shown on HBOGO.com after the previous one shows on your local cable system. * If* HBOgo has been “hooked up” to run with your cable company; it wasn’t available for Comcast users until quite recently.

Next week, it will run on cable…

So, in other words, stay out of this thread unless you want to be spoiled for the May 29 episode?

My cable company doesn’t offer HBOGo, dammit.

Kack. US only.

Last night I watched all the episodes up to now on demand. What does it say about me that I felt worse for Lady than I did for Bran?

I’ve just tried and HBOgo works for me. Now all I need to do is decide whether or not to watch it.

Well, Bran’s still alive, even if he’s crippled. Of course, he’s human & Lady was a wolf!

The reaction reminds me of Mad Men, when the children of Duck Phillips, account exec & recovering alcoholic, inform him that their divorced mother is remarrying & her intended is allergic to dogs. Therefore, they leave their Irish setter in the office after a visit. Will the doggie’s big brown eyes cause Duck to fall off the wagon? To avoid trouble, Duck chases the dog out the building’s door, into the NYC night…

Dumping that dog caused more angry complaints than any of the rotten things the Mad Men & Women had done to each other. (Don’t worry–“Lady” is OK.)

If you don’t, you might need to stay off the Internet for the next week. There will be many-a-spoiler out there…

Sigh, i don’t want to go two weeks without a new episode but i don’t think ill be able to keep myself from watching. Damn you HBO.

Whoa! I’m keeping my eye on the Dany person.

Yeah, Martin remarked that the butcher’s boy wasn’t really killed either, if anyone was concerned about him.

You might not have to worry about it, the site crashed.

I caved and was going to watch it, but five minutes of watching the login page try to load was enough. I’ll have to stay out of the thread.

Just for the record. the episode that aired on HBO tonight is called “A Golden Crown” (and what a beautiful crown it was).

Viserys was not very bright if he thought he could threaten to kill Drogo’s baby in the womb like that and then continue to even walk around, much less get rewarded. Such a satisfying scen.

I liked Tyrion in the trial scenes too.

Over here.

Really, HBO should have prepared for the onslaught. It’s for the better, though. I gotta go to bed. I’m up at 5:30 tomorrow.

That was fucking epic. I am totally blown away right now. Easily the best episode of the season.

Damn you!
