My Westeros knight name is Garett Saltcliff (Salfalaise), the bastard name Garett Rivers, Maekar IV Targaryen, and Mago, son of Drogo. Holy ****, Ronon Dex is my father!

Also, Garett? Wut.

Wonderful news! I know I'm encouraging others to either watch the series or read the books knowing one will naturally lead to the other.

Damn, can't green you at the moment, nice scene, good to see that we'll have more of the Tournament in this ep. And the actor playing Ser Barristan Selmy has a badass voice.

Also Winter is Coming is reporting that they are scouting locations is Spain and Croatia for season 2

Loras should appear in the next episode, also can't wait for fight of the brothers

Spoiler:

of the Mountain and the Hound

Barristan was the greatest knight in his time and will kick some more ass in the future

Also Winter is Coming is reporting that they are scouting locations is Spain and Croatia for season 2
http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/05/...or-season-two/

So now they got a few locations now all over Europe: Northern Ireland, Malta, Spain, Croatia and maybe Iceland and Morocco (ok the last one isn't in Europe, but still partly in the Mediterranian). I'm really curious where they will film and what they will shot there.

No but there's lots of awesome fights and general violence. I think it also makes the show better when they focus on a few storylines an ep, next week's promo seems to show a shift in focus back towards stuff in the North and with the Drothraki.
