Blu-ray.com released its review of Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season. As always it lists all of the extras available. The audio commentaries and deleted scenes were already known, but there's more stuff.

Most importantly, the Histories and Lore:

quote:

The third season's animated "Histories & Lore" videos -- specifically those pertaining to Westeros' history and mythology -- cover everything from the Battle of Qohor to the Vale. Segments include:

Old Ghis & Slaver's Bay (Jorah Mormont)
House Reed (Meera Reed)
House Bolton (Roose Bolton)
House Frey (Catelyn Stark)
House Tully (The Blackfish)
The Lord of Light (Thoros of Myr)
Wargs and the Sight (Bran Stark)
The Red Keep (King Joffrey)
Robert's Rebellion (Petyr Baelish and Lord Varys)
The North (Jon Snow)
The Reach (Margaery Tyrell)
The Riverlands (The Blackfish)
The Stormlands (Brienne of Tarth)
The Westerlands (Tywin Lannister)
The Vale (Petyr Baelish)

I was really hoping for the Knight of the Laughing Tree narrated by Meera. Hopefully it is alluded to or covered in the House Reed history.

The histories and lore are probably my favorite bonus features on these discs, it's a shame more people don't get to see them.

Edit: Maybe we'll have Meera and Jojen actually tell the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree in the show this season. Lord knows they need something to say and do in order to fill screentime.

There's still plenty of time for the Knight of the Laughing Tree to be told to Bran in-show. A man can dream.

What is it with all those blue dresses? Dany started wearing blue, I think, last season, but now it's all she and Missandei are wearing. And so does Marge.

I mean, they look great, but why the fixation on one colour?

Those images are huge (3150 x 2100) and, yes, that's Needle.

Huh, good catch. That does look like Needle, so either Sandor is hiding a mortal injury incredibly well, or the chronology of events is getting shaken up a bit.

Or maybe their are going to extend their voyage a bit, adding a few more battles and stuff after the fight in the inn? Arya doest have too much content left for her in book 3. Maybe she gets Needle after that fight, but Sandor gets hurt in another battle later on.

I though when I was reading that scene: TV's Sandor is such a badass, who can take whole parties of soldiers single handed, I guess that battle would be strange for the audience. I mean, he would get waked by those two goons, if it wanst for Arya's help.

They won't explain it, just like they didn't explain the Mountain going from loving huge pile of man to really tall basketball player. I'm sure they'll just make Dany use his name often so people watching realize that's who he is supposed to be.

Yeah you'd really think they'd have at least given New Daario some Fabio hair or something. Even if they do say his name a lot, I predict large swathes of show-only people wondering why they did such a poor job of introducing this mysterious new character and also what happened to that Fabio guy from last season.

I am baffled about the new Daario and how they made absolutely zero attempt to have him resemble the old actor. I guess they'll make him into a Faceless Man or something?

I'm wondering this myself. With the Hound it was understandable since he only makes one or two (if that) unhelmed appearances per season -- he's just "the huge scary guy who kills everyone." Daario, however, is "cheekbones guy with the long blond hair," and all those signifiers are gone. There's nothing remotely flashy about this new design, to the point he may as well be a different character altogether. Not that a lot of book readers will complain about that, but wow, how is this not going to be weird and confusing? The Faceless Man theory isn't bad, though. I'd love to see the writers/producers talk a little more about their reasoning. Maybe in the Season 4 preview in February?

vvvv Derp, you're right. The new Hound images put the wrong Clegane in my brain.

You meant the Mountain, but I agree wholeheartedly. Faabio Naharis had such a distinctive look about him. I can't wait to see if they explain it. "I don't like your long blonde hair; you remind me of the younger of my two brothers."

It's definitely the new mountain. Don't know if that's the Oberyn/Mountain fight though. I think the other footage we've seen of it, he's been in armor.

Edit: yeah in the season 4 preview he's wearing armor. So unless he completely strips down for the kill shot, I doubt that's the Red Viper/Mountain fight.
