Robb has horses. It's fights that don't exist.

The tournament of the hand had less production value than a Ren Fest, Tyrion took a nap during his battle, Whispering Wood never happened, the Blackwater was a small affair, there was that thing where Grey Wind attacked the farting guy then it cut to black and everyone was dead, and the last scene of season 2 was OMG ICE ZOMBIES and the open of season 3 was "lol j/k they all went away off screen".

It's pretty impressive that the Walking Dead (another incredibly terrible show) can work in extra zombie battles every week, but seeing Edd or Mormont swinging a sword at a zombie would have bankrupted GoT so instead here's another half-assed scene where a guy that was in the battle has ketchup on his forehead and says "it's over we won lol" and the ratings inexplicably go up.

Also, I'm sick of people saying we're in a golden age of good tv. All these big shows suck mad dick and the last decent show was the Wire. Breaking Bad is stupid and annoying. Burn down TVIV, permaban Rarity, and ban TV discussion everywhere. Hail satan.

This post is a thing of beauty. It also reminds me we will never see Ebert tear into the inevitable GoT blockbuster.

To be fair, if memory serves, they did this exact same thing in the book if I remember so at least it's being faithful in that regard.

Much of the battle was off screen, but sam was still in the thick of it, and mormont was shouting orders, and fire arrows and A BEAR A BEAR ALL COVERED IN HOAR!

I actually listened to the lyrics and got kind of creeped out.

edit: you learn something every day!

quote:

The song is a motif that reflects the relationships between several characters, including Sandor Clegane and Sansa Stark, Jorah Mormont and Daenerys Targaryen, and, almost comically, Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister (where Sandor, Jorah, and Brienne symbolize "the Bear" who either literally or figuratively saves the "Maiden Fair").

The song's relevance to Jorah and Dany is emphasized by the fact that a bear is the sigil of House Mormont and that fair skin and hair are ubiquitous features among the bloodline of House Targaryen.

In A Game of Thrones, Sansa Stark is infatuated by the idea of the chivalrous prince and the knight in shining armor, archetypes which she believes are embodied by Ser Loras and, mistakenly, Prince Joffrey. Accordingly, when Joffrey and his court abuse and beat her, it is not the stereotypical knight but the deformed Sandor Clegane who comes to her rescue.

After Jaime Lannister is tortured and later released from Harrenhal, the physically repulsive Brienne steers Jaime away from suicide and sets him on the path to redemption. Ironically, Jaime later saves Brienne from a grizzly bear in the bear pit at Harrenhal.

Also, I watched an episode of TWD every now and then, telling myself it would get better. Then they copped out with Dale, then with Carl shooting the zombie version of Shane, and I was like, you punch-pulling, pussy-rear end fucks. Can't even get a major plot point right. gently caress that show and all its fans, too.

Not counting GOT fans TWD has to have the most obnoxious fans possible. I don't even know why but they're always like that.

Maybe it's because that's how anyone acts that likes Zombie related material made after 80s.

I still don't get why the three knights of the Kingsguard were chilling at the Tower of Joy during the rebellion. At first I thought it was something to do with new baby Jon being next in line for the throne and them having to defend him but he'd still be a bastard and succession would pass to Viserys. Is it really just a "gently caress you, we're not running" thing, even if they'd be running to defend the new, actual, eight-year-old King?

I think it was for baby Jon; Rhaegar was dead and if King's Landing fell it was likely Viserys and the entire family could be executed (they got most of them), so they were defending who could be the last of the Targaryan line.

That's just silly, she's clearly too old for GRRM.

Though the creepiest thing they could do right now would be to offer her extra cash up front in exchange for her to contract to shave her head and do full-frontal for Cersei's walk of shame.

It's a place with weirdwoods in the south so Rhaegar and Lyanna can marry in front of one. Or several.

We're never going to see that, though, since the next book will never come out and the HBO adapation of the ending will be a fade out followed by a fade in with Sam looking directly into the camera and explaining what just happened to the vast hosts of twenty people.

Since there will be no next book, I'm going to pretend that all the insane theories on westeros.org are true and the next book will have an ice dragon and the stone kings rising out of the crypt under Winterfell :black101:

The final season better be crazy, every episode made of bizarre stock footage while random words flash on screen as the actors monologue about their childhood traumas.

And then Dany turns out to be a clone of Jon's mother.

I just hope Qyburn wins the entire thing and sends his Frankenknights to massacre everything and everybody all the way to the farthest corners of the land.

I wasn't aware how much I actually loved that character until I involuntarily let out an audible squeal when he was first introduced on the show last week.

I really don't like him. He doesn't look a drat thing like I expected, and the show has done absolutely nothing with him up to the end of season 2. Roose may as well just be some random guy delivering the same lines and occupying the same role.
