LindG1000 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That episode was a bit disappointing for me. Very..uh...dry, I suppose is the word, by comparison to the last two. Lots of VERY good acting, and lots of very, very important story, but it seemed like a lot of posturing more than anything else. oh, and I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed with Ygritte. Was expecting something...fuller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thought that Jaime and Brienne scene was fantastic. Totally forgot about Stannis and a daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Oh, and WHAT THE FUCK was with the fetuses? How did I forget about that? Wtf was that? I thought that was insanely weird and don't remember that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thought that Jaime and Brienne scene was fantastic. Totally forgot about Stannis and a daughter. The Stannis scenes really pissed me off. I think it's because Selyse is a spineless cunt of a character, mostly, and Stephen Dillane just isn't in the same universe of actor as the rest of them. He's just so insanely awkward. It looks like D&D have decided that Shireen and Patchface will be one character, which should be interesting since the girl who plays Shireen seems quite spot on.

NYRangers92 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think Selyse being holed up in dark and dank Dragonstone has really taken a toll on her psyche that probably wasnt all there to begin with. Even cold as ice Stannis thinks shes crazy haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 As in the books... the stannis/onion knight story is my least favorite. This was a fairly slow episode but next week looks like its going to be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentum Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 They're doing such a great job again this season. Fantastic episode. Loved the Clegane/Dondarian fight sequence opening the show, and the heart-to-heart between Jamie and Brienne was probably the best sequence of acting yet in the show. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau nailed it. Agreed, when watching that scene even my wife mentioned what a great actor he really is. amazing scene. Also Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister...man he's so fucking good..talk about screen presence......what an amazing job he's doing..amazing. Love that character and he just simply owns every scene he's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that character and he just simply owns every scene he's in. This. In every scene he's been in, there's never any question as to who is the most powerful person around. The episode was decent. My wife feels a ton of compassion for Sansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 good set up episode. i'm sorta happy everyone seems to finally be getting where they were going. a whole lot of wagon training here. i thought the guy that took the kingslayers hand was going to get offed. the last scene was really cool. dinklage plays that character so well.

H-Dreamer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I am totally in love with the acting by all the Lannisters, they all nail there respective roles. Robb also did a good job this episode, while Jon remains a bit weak in comparison.(as does his part of the story) Loved the fight betwenn Beric and the hound, though I'd say they normally would have fought outside and not in a cave lol. Those fetuses were really unnecessary and creepy. I've got a thought on a change from the books that I will post in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRangers92 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Is it odd that I get really excited for every Theon scene? I just love how vile and evil theyre making (I'll leave him unnamed here) him. He's so much worse than Joffrey yet I dread Joffrey scenes because hes evil in different ways. Maybe I just get excited thinking about the reaction from people who only watch the show.

You're most definitely not alone in being excited over Theon's... journey. That said, it's almost incredible how the televised version of this all pales in comparison to the truly gory details of the book. Still, they're doing a tremendous job of really selling this to the television crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRangers92 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 They still have a long way to go for more gore. Like they can show the torture that was only implied in the books, beyond his fingers and toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Oh, no doubt, but I didn't wanna get too deep into that in this thread for the sake of the non-readers. I can only imagine the struggle they have not only with having to sit through this, but in wondering what the hell it's all happening for. I think he who shall remain nameless made light on that tonight with his "because I like it" line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Iwan Rheon is really killing it. I mean, I HATED his character in the book, but he's managed to usurp Joffrey on the GOT Douche-o-Meter. Guess there's more than one way to skin a....you know what, bad choice of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
