Even though there has been mild criticism of the amount of sex scenes in the show the ratings have been huge meaning that most people probably don’t mind them too much.

The author of the books upon which the hit series is based, George R. R. Martin revealed that the third season will be ten episodes long, the same as seasons one and two and will cover the story told in approximately the first half of the third book in the series which is called A Storm of Swords. He also revealed that he will be writing episode seven of season three, which carries on the tradition of him, so far, writing one episode per season. He wrote episode eight of season one and episode nine of season two.

How many episodes is this again? I mean have they come right out and staetd that each season is going to encompass 1 book? If so I may have to stop watching. Seriously, I cannot handle this frantic pace with which they are blasting through everything. Of course, this is exactly what everything in Hollywood is now: Bite sized ritalin laced snippets of thought meant to cater to a degenerated generation of simpletons incapable of maintaining any semblance of focus or attention on anything longer than a text message. And this is from someone who while not an extreme fan of Martin’s style, by any measure, I do appreciate the scope with which his tale unfolds. It takes time. Going back to in the moment:Catelyn was a moron in the book. In fact I remember thinking while reading it that the entire point of Catelyn became Martin’s use of the classic “panicky woman” scenario. . . kind of like in Scream. . . “the dumb blonde running upstairs where there’s no escape”. Her move was dumb. Not just in a “Stark’s are not built for the Game” but a “that was the dumbest shoot from the hip in a moment of panic” type way. Throughout the books I continually (and not in a retrospective way) found myself thinking Catelyn and Sansa were the stereotypical “pretty girls with zero brains”. I despised them in the books and to be frank I found them insultingly stupid. The best part of this episode was the Eyrie scene. They just so nailed the crazy like you said JRo. Great review guys!
