Well, I found their kafkaesque obsession with beetles simply beckettian. I'd have preferred a more dickensian scene, of Varys' little birds conducting orwellian surveillance. I have read several books. Lugubrious.

The beetles thing would have been totally fine if it didn't drag on quite as long. Also I loved all the Sansa stuff, she's the best.

Plankytown is up there with 'Manwoody' in the dumbass name stakes. That audition was cool, though. I think I could see her as Obara.

Doltos posted:Eh I think GRRM has mastered naming people and places. His naming conventions are incredibly clever and often tell a lot about a character before you even meet the character. 99% of the time they are. But Dickon Manwoody is not one of those times.

I think if I'd have gone into the episode knowing there would be no Stannis I'd have enjoyed it ten times more. I was just too hyped for that poo poo. It was a good episode, though. My favourite bit was everything Tormund said and did forever.BlueChocolate posted:Grrm better get a move on writing those books or there will be no reason to buy his books once the show has revealed everything. he's hosed next season, with Sansa and Bran's stories especially. man had enough time, though. I can't wait to see what happens. Lovechop fucked around with this message at 12:07 on Jun 9, 2014 |

Eau de MacGowan posted:was it tactically realistic? we don't see him gently caress the bear, but he has a legendary schlong (or 'member', if you will) that transcends our speciesist notions of sex and RE: sailing around the wall - it would take a long-rear end time and they also have a load of old people and kids who would probably die on the journey. they just want to get the gently caress away from all the wight walkers and poo poo.

The most effective way of taking the wall down is creating a real big rumpus right outside of it

Gorn Myson posted:I think most of us are disappointed that not only did they not include that scene, but we also didn't get the bears backstory and arc, both of which are integral to the mythos of the Ice and Fire Saga. D&D have confirmed that they're actually including a flashback of this next season

They really hosed up with Mance. My girlfriend is another one of those people who thought that Tormund was king beyond the wall

Someone from the other thread worked out the Myrcella plot...Roland Jones posted:Oh dang, while this will almost definitely not happen, the bit about Myrcella just made me realize that, since Myrcella's definitely not married to Doran's son matrilineally, if she were to end up on the Throne and live long enough to have kids, the Martells would be the ruling family of Westeros, seeing as her children would be Martells. Good catch on their part

I actually thought the skeletons were pretty cool. The little lads were plenty menacing and creepy.

It's interesting that GRRM hints there's more to the Tywin/Shae thing. I wonder what will happen with that.

I feel like Jojen hardly reacted just cause he always knew how he was going to die or whatever and was at peace with it "well this is the end. I'm getting shanked by a skeleton... at least I didn't get eaten by bran I guess"

I wish they could have just given Bloodraven one hosed up eye. It would have served to make him look a lot creepier, and his line would've made sense. The scene was cool but he didn't look like he'd been in there for decades, just like he'd wandered out of his retirement home and into a tree in an alzheimer's-induced haze

Darth Windu posted:The only thing I'm really disappointed in was the Brienne / Hound fight. She shouldn't have been able to beat Sandor, that poo poo is utterly unbelievable, even with him already wounded. Would you go as far as saying that it's a feminist conspiracy that she won?

So Tyrion and Dany likely aren't going to interact in any meaningful way for the majority of the book? What the gently caress GRRM
